Welcome~

Hello and Welcome~


The world is blind to these SEVEN, pivotal facts:

1. The Bible communicates Heaven’s 'multi-millennial, strategic plan for humanity'.

2. There are SEVEN ages appointed for humanity.

3. We are nearing the end of the THIRD age, a pivotal turning point in this strategy.

4. A GREAT falling away from the Christian faith is predicted during the ending days of this THIRD age, as a result of backsliding and general lukewarmness among the heretofore faithful. Look around and this you will clearly see.

5. Biblical prophecies have been and remain seeds of human history.

6. Yet-fulfilled prophecies, unfolding apace, are worthy of diligent study.

7. Now is the time to get and stay on ‘the right side of Bible prophecy’.

Who Wants to be a Star?

Remember the oldie but goodie song, ‘You Don’t Have to Be a Star to be in My Show’, by Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis, Jr.? That song seems to go against the grain of human nature. Who doesn’t want to be a star of some kind or another? Maybe it’s like being a millionaire. The popular TV game asks, ‘Who Wants to be a Millionaire?’ The answer, ‘Who doesn’t? Who wouldn’t, even if Uncle Sam grabs his fair share?
It is both interesting and informative to note the idea of a person being a star or shining like a star isn’t just a modern day concept, as one might suspect.
God, Himself, has this on His mind, too. Surprised?

He sent a special angel to Daniel to convey this critical message that echoes across the ages:

And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, some to shame and everlasting contempt. Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, snd those who turn many to righteousness [shall shine] like the stars forever and ever. (Daniel 11: 2 – 3)

wOw! Imagine that.

Compare that to Hollywood and Bollywood stars. And everything science has learned about physical stars suggests they, too, eventually will deplete their resources, burn-out and implode. But here is a kind of star that will shine forever and ever!

This is one of the many rewards Jesus promises for the faithful, in this particular case for those who are wise and those who turn many to righteousness. Interesting invitations with great reward, I’d surely say! What about you?

Wanna be a star …forever?

Album 1: Threshold to The Kingdom (Lyrics)

Background:
Are you familiar with the coming event of the Rapture?  It's when Jesus sends His angel to Earth’s atmosphere to “rapture” The Church (collective body of baptized believers in Christ) before destruction of life on Earth as we know it.  Imagine with me, Jesus singing this very unique song to His Bride, The Church, seconds into the rapture, on the “cloud ride back to Heaven!” 

Setting:
Imagine a split second from now, you are looking at your feet...
but can't see them.
You only see bundles of “cotton-like” air that you can't even feel! 
You look up and see that you're in a throng of people on a moving cloud!!!!
  You are startled by the sounds of a strong, loving voice telling you to
 "Rejoice!"  Searching for the source, you see Jesus,
 singing His love song to His Bride, The Church!

Voila! …You’ve just been raptured, and are enraptured by His love song…

~o~o~o~o~o~
Verse 1:
Rejoice!!!  I've waited for so long to come, and sing you this song.
Your cares and are passed away on the threshold of my Kingdom today!

Verse 2:
The skies, and all the Earth which were made by Wisdom and Word,
As your cares, will pass away on the threshold of my Kingdom today.

Chorus:
Holding you hand, you're the one whom I love.
No more you down below and me up above.
Now we are one, forever we shall be: 
  Father, you and I throughout eternity.  (God, the Church, and Jesus!)

Repeat Verse 1 and Chorus

Verse 3:
Listen, this is my Kingdom, now it's yours forevermore,
Made just for you before the worlds
Your cares and are passed away 
  on the threshold of My Kingdom today, My Kingdom today!

Verse 4:
I’m thrilled just to know, to know you are here, 
Our Love as “time without the years” (eternity)
At last!!!!  My dream's come true: 
  The Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost, and YOU!

Album 1: The Just Shall Live by Faith (Lyrics)


Chorus 1:
The Just shall live by faith
Thus says the Lord
The Just shall live by faith
Thus says the Living Word

Repeat

Verse 1:
And when the trials of life are all around, just remember
That the just shall live by faith
And when the devil is trying to get you down, just remember
That the just shall live by faith. 
Always remember…

Chorus 2:
Are you living by faith
My brother, my sister
Are you living by faith
By the Living Word

Chorus 3:
Everyday by faith
My brother, my sister
Everyday living by faith
By the Living Word

Verse 2:
And when temptation is knocking at your door, just remember
That the just shall live by faith
Just speak the Word, it’s brought you through before, just remember
That the just shall live by faith. 
Always remember…

Chorus 3:
We will make it by faith
By faith alone
Everyday (living by faith
By the Living Word

La la la la la….

Soundtrack Video

Verse 1:
When you have a need, your body you heed
You take it to God in prayer
But God would rather HIS way in the matter
Than hear (only) all about your care

Verse 2:
That need you feel should make you kneel
Before God to intercede
This is God’s way for us not to stray
And fail to follow His lead

Chorus:
Take it to God in prayer, but not for your self
Take it to God in prayer, for somebody else
Take it to God in prayer, you mirror their need
Take it to God in prayer, you must INTERCEDE

Verse 3:
As you bring your needs to the King
Don’t think they are yours alone
There is a brother or maybe  a sister
With needs you think you own

Chorus:
Take it to God in prayer, but not for your self
Take it to God in prayer, for somebody else
Take it to God in prayer, you mirror their need
Take it to God in prayer, you must INTERCEDE ….You must intercede

Refrain
I’m going to  take it…
Take it to
To God in prayer…
             God in prayer
I will show Him…
Show Him that
How much I care..
            I really care
But not only  
Not only just
For myself
For myself
Especially
Especially
 Somebody else
For somebody else

You can take it to God…
Take it to
To God in prayer…
             God in prayer
You can show Him …
Show Him that
How much you care..
            You really care
But not only
Not only just
For yourself
For yourself
Especially
Especially
Somebody else
For somebody else

Let us take it, let’s take it…
Take it to
To God in prayer…
             God in prayer
And let us show Him …
Show Him that
How much ..
            We really care
Not only
Not only just
For our self
For our self
Especially
Especially
Somebody else
For somebody else

And will you take it, you take it…
Take it to
To God…
             God in prayer
And will you show Him…
Show Him that
            You really care
But not only
Not only just
Just for yourself
For yourself
E-s-p-e-c-i-a-l-l-y
Especially
For somebody else

We’ve got to take it
…To God in prayer
To God in prayer
…To God in prayer
Every need and desire
…To God in prayer
It’s not our own, we mirror the need
…To God in prayer
Of somebody else
…To God in prayer
We must intercede
…To God in prayer
We must intercede
…In prayer…

Album 1: Keep Me in Mind (Lyrics)


Verse 1:
As you wake up in the morning
Keep Me in mind
As the brand new day is dawning
Keep Me in mind
As you dress for work while yawning
Keep Me in mind
All I ask of you my friend
From day’s start until its end
All I ask is, “Are you keeping me in mind?”

Verse 2:
As you drive to work so hurried
Keep Me in mind
So much to do, you’re so worried
Keep Me in mind
So stressed down, you feel buried
Keep Me in mind
If you find you’re in a bind,
Just remember you’re still Mine
All I ask is, “Are you keeping me in mind?”

Chorus 1:
Then you will know my perfect peace
And your mind will be more at ease              
From all your worries you will find such a sweet release
All I ask of you my friend
From day’s start until its end
All I ask is, “Are you keeping me in mind?”

Verse 3:
Housework so heavy, your back so tender
Keep Me in mind
On the phone, another vendor
Keep Me in mind
Now thinking what to fix for dinner
Keep Me in mind
All I ask of you my friend
From day’s start until its end
All I ask is, “Are you keeping me in mind?”

Verse 4:
Weekend’s here at last
Keep Me in mind
Slowing it down, not too fast
Keep Me in mind
What a party, oh what a blast
Keep Me in mind
All I ask of you my friend
From week’s start until its end
All I ask is, “Are you keeping me in mind?”

Chorus 2:
Then you will know all My Words are true
And your dark skies will all turn blue
You will have my presence in all you do
All I ask of you my friend
From week’s start until its end
All I ask is, “Are you keeping me in mind?”

Refrain:
Stay with me, keep me…
Keep Me in mind
C’mon, my friend, …
Keep Me in mind
I know you can, I know you will …
Keep me in mind
I want you to, and I need you to …
Keep me in mind
I will never, ever leave you…
                        Keep me in mind
Keep me…

Album 1: I Wanna Know You Now (Lyrics)


Verse 1:
I thank the Lord for your friendship
His Love to me in so many ways
Since I met you and started to share
I’ve realized I’ve missed His gift so rare
So pure and precious to Him
I wanna know you now, I wanna know you now   

Verse 2:
Here I am, ready to listen
To offer my heart and pray for you
I will reach out and show you I care
You’ve given me so much, you have taught me
God shows His Love through the friends of our lives
I wanna know you now, I wanna know you now.

Chorus 1:
All of my life I’ve been blindly working
Trying so hard to achieve
I’ve been lonely, friendless and sad
(Music)….Friendless and sad

Chorus 2:
Wasted my time trying to gain recognition
I’m gonna change my mind
I wanna know you now, I wanna know you now

Verse 3:
I thank the Lord for this revelation
Of His Love in you so clear
I will reach out and faithfully serve you
I wanna know you now; Lord will You show me how?

Chorus 3:
Wasted my time trying to gain recognition
I’m gonna change my mind
No more lonely, friendless or sad
‘Cause I’ve learned a new way
Yes, I’ve learned a new way, with you!
