What he truly believes…

All of man’s life is a mystery and the only phenomenon that makes sense is the existence of God. The understanding that God has a son who came for humanity just to bring man back to where he fell – the presence. God is a loving Father and despite all the negativity expressed in the world today, his love beams down on us – come rain or shine.

Gospel music is at the core of the healing that the world needs today… We need to mend every broken heart that will yield by the power of the Holy Spirit. We create the atmosphere, draw men back to the place of originality – God’s intentions. There are open facts that shape of being, the need to belong somewhere, the desire to survive and the hope for tomorrow.

Love is the fuel of passion. John 3:16 puts it this way; “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes on him should not perish, but have eternal life.”

Ordinary is a state of mind, we are extraordinary in Christ. Jesus said; Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Luke 10:19. We can do all things through Christ.

We can truly belong somewhere when our inward being is at rest. No one can satisfy the thirst of our soul like Jesus can. There is no survivor without an express divine help and hope only can sometimes make the heart weary yet sustain it – Jesus is the latter, He in fact is hope personified.
