...Man's suffering shows what God can do. Affliction, sorrow, pain, disappointment, loss always are opportunities for displaying God's grace. First, it enables the sufferer to show God in action. When trouble and disaster fall upon a man who does not know God, that man may well collapse; but when they fall on a man who walks with God, they bring out the strength and the beauty, and the endurance and the nobility, which are within a man's heart when God is there. It is told that when an old saint was dying in an agony of pain, he sent for his family, saying: "Come and see how a Christian can die." It is when life hits us a terrible blow that we can show the world how a Christian can live, and, if need be, die. Any kind of suffering is an opportunity to demonstrate the glory of God in our own lives.

Welcome to the Sunday Before Christmas! ...AKA The Annual Day to Wing It During the Church Christmas Program (and Me Live-Blogging it to the Friend Group Discord)
(Look. Look. When your church only has about 50 members, you don't have understudies, okay? You Pray everyone will be there, lol. Also worth noting here, is that P not only sang two songs so J wouldn't be the only guy, but he also played piano for some of the songs. Our planned pianist worked on the music for two months, and two others were trying to learn it all in an hour.)
Bonus:
Merry Christmas!

Last night I heard from the Holy Spirit
“The whole world is watching”
Keep that in mind beloved’s
It’s not just in the physical realm. The entire pantheon of the Egyptian gods came to me along with two extremely prominent Hindu gods and the Aztec’s. Ancient civilizations… ancient bloodlines 🩸
One of them spoke to me and said
“We will listen to you”
👀
I received a scripture for the Beyoncé message I had recorded but it’s applicable for several reasons I won’t mention yet. Here is the scrip below.
More on this later.
PS. Also the Japanese (Asian) calico cat. This happened before this but I didn’t share it with you. They visited me twice.
They ALL know who Christ Jesus is… recall The Prophet Isaiah said…
It’s crazy because my tongue has been bothering me lately (iron problems) and last night the LORD revealed to me that it was miracle that I survived the evil sent to me time and time again and honestly I broke down and cried, tears mixed with grief and gratitude 🙏🏾
I wasn’t planning to share that personal part of the message ☺️ but when I read verse 20 about “survivors of the nations”, I had to give God the glory… I had to give him his flowers 💐 This is why we LIVE so we can tell of the Goodness of Christ Jesus, so we can say IT WAS GOD WHO SAVED US!!! Faith comes through hearing of the mighty works our God has done👂🏾
Here is the NIV translation:
God knows our battles babes and he helps us fight them. He saved our lives. He deserves all the honour and the praise. My allegiance is with my God… Yahweh and the son, Jesus. My loyalty is to God and God only. Where is yours?
If you read Isaiah 45 in its entirety, God speaks to Cyrus The Great, a Babylonian King who was not a Jew, yet he used him anyway. Here he is still being remembered and honoured today because he helped Israel by LISTENING to the instructions of a God who was foreign to him making him a believer.
God is calling someone to come and serve him…. To come and experience TRUE POWER, nothing false idols can give. Get ready for an encounter with the LORD. Someone is going to know God like never before.
I also told you all that God was going to replace the current Iranian regime and put on the throne someone who serves HIM.
It will happen.
May the LORD restore the throne to the rightful rulers of Iran 👑 May he bring the Iranian people prosperity and peace.
I added the scripture about Cyrus…
When the LORD called me, I heard a voice in the middle of night call my birth name…. 3x’s just as the LORD called Samuel as a boy. It was undeniable!!!

I’m not going to be posting much current artwork from now until December because I’m super busy working on a future project. Here’s the timeline so far:
Now until the near end of September: promotion of videos that I’ve already made
Near end of September to December: work on another Sonic music video
Thank you to everyone who watches/likes/comments on my artwork, it means more to me than you know!

ladies and lads I would deeply appreciate prayer for a conversation I have to have in about 4 hours……. I have prepared well for it and thinking too deeply about it makes me sick to my stomach and sick at heart, but it is a conversation that must be had and I would love to approach it with wisdom and gentleness and sincerity, and not fear and anxiety and self-absorption.
