Headwaters Prayer Walk
Martha Cowan

I will try to continue "Mission Accomplished"

When we all got together again
      it was now time to pray.
We came together as two races,
      to restore and clear the way.
Pastor Richard read the history,
      of what had happened in the past.
He was from another country   (England)
      so no stones were cast.
Many tears were shed,
      because of what had been done.
There was much repentance and forgiveness,
      and the victory had now been won.
That stronghold could now be broken,
      with repentance from both sides.
The warring spirit could now be removed,
      now peace will there reside.
When this part was over,
      a white butterfly landed over Ray's heart.
Then it flew upon my hat,
      it wwas awhile before it did depart.
I believe it was a symbol,
      of what was taking place.
A symbol of the Holy Spirit,
      and of God's mercy and His grace.
From there we went to the Natural Bridge,
      and again together we prayed.
A Native American led us there,
      as on her drum she played.
The river had to be cleansed,
      so  Pastor Millie poured salt from her hand.
Betty poured in the oil,
      that is where we took our stand.
Two races came together
      to restore what had been done.
We all came together to glorify
      the Father, the Holy Spirit and the Son.
On the way back to the parking lot
      we stopped in the shade.
To listen to Ginny's vision she had received,
      before all the plans were made.
She had seen an old Indian man,
      with a strong staff in his hand.
He was sitting by a campfire,
      beating against the land..
He was saying, "Awake, you who sleep,
      and arise from the dead."                  ("Awake, sleeper, and arise from the dead
He seemed to be speaking to the land,        and Christ will shine on you."Eph.5:14
      that was what was said.
The two Native Americans,
      did the same as he.
We could feel the vibrations in the ground,
      it was awesome to feel and see.
We returned to the parking lot,
             the process was not yet thru.
   Four of us went to Crater Lake rim,
            the rest hiked to the Headwaters, its true.
    We went to the west rim,
            we took our stand and prayed there too.
      We covered the hikers and the Rogue River Valley,
            it was three o'clock when we were thru.
      Then we headed home,
           what an awesome day.
      Everything was very peaceful,
            and this I heard Him say.
      "Mission Accomplished,"
            and joy filled our hearts.
      It was now in His hands
            and we had done our part.
      The hikers walked two and a half miles
            to the Boundary Springs it was uphill.
      We never know what we may do,
            God's purpose to fulfill.
      The water was cold and pure
            and from the springsss they drank.
      Then they had communion
            and gave the Lord thanks.
      They did not have grape juice,
            so they used water which was cold and clear.
      They drank it with the bread,
            with it all they were sincere.
      They poured out the water as a drink offering,
            unto the Lord, you see.
      They threw some into the waters,
            as a sign of His body and unity.
      Pastor Richard read Ezekiel forty seven,                    (Ezekiel 47:9)
            of how from God's temple how that river flowed.
      We know this Spiritual River will cover this valley;
            as we travel on down this road.
        The flood gates will open
            and release the full force of the flow.
      The Holy Spirit will fill this valley,
            this we know that we know.
      The glory of God will fill this valley
            from the Headwaters to the Sea.
      If we will now trust and obey Him;
            for Obedience is the key.
      The three Warrior sneaked out into the Philistine camp and got some water
      from the well near Bethlehem's gate. But after they brought the water back to
      David, he refused to drink it. instead, he poured it out as a sacrifice.          
                                                                          2 Samuel  23:16  cev.
      After I arrived home,
            I called a prayer partner, you see.
      Audrey had been praying all day for us,
            I knew she needed to hear from me.
      She said around three-thirty,
            she was then at peace, you see.
      That was about the time when,
            "Mission Accomplished" was spoken to me.
      When we were on the mountain,
            she was in the Valley in prayer.
      When we all come together,
            He is in our midst there.
      How many other intercessors were praying,
            I really do not know.
      But when God's army comes together,
            the river of the Holy Spirit will surely flow.
      Revival will come to the Rogue River Valley,
            and it will be in full force.
      We must trust and obey
            and we must stay the course.
