A lot of times when I'm running, Jesus takes me into intercession. The other day when Nate and I were running, I put on a song called "Sun of Righteousness" by Stephen Roach. The lyrics are...
The Sun of Righteousness is rising
The Sun of Righteousness is rising
These light afflictions that we bear cannot compare to the Promise You gave
Therefore we don't look at what we see
We gaze beyond in hope, expectantly
You are faithful to complete this work You began
To bring us back, to rest in You again
Even though the sorrows seem to last an endless night
Over the horizon the darkest clouds are breaking
The Sun of Righteousness is rising
The Sun of Righteousness is rising
With healing in His wings
Your favor is upon us like the morning dew
Settling on everyone, chases after You
You are changing us to the image of Your Son
Leading us onward 'til the work is done
Even though these sorrows seems to last an endless night
Over the horizon the darkest clouds are breaking...
As I was running, I felt the Lord speaking to me in this song so I kept it on repeat. I was seeing and declaring this song over Japan. In my imagination I saw Jesus, the Son of Righteousness come up over Japan with healing in His wings. He came as hope, and as light to the nation. Even on the TV screen in front of me, there was a commercial or something that was showing a scene of the sun at dawn. I was filled with so much hope for the nation of Japan. I believe it is a dawning of a new day in Japan. He Himself is coming, and even the darkest clouds will break at His Light!
I was telling Nate about my experience later, and he told me that Japan is the "rising run", as their flag is a symbol of the sun. The hope of Japan is the rising Sun of Righteousness!
