Appreciation & Gratitude: Thank you for a beautiful evening walk with the cool breeze and bright moon rising. Thank you that you gave us a relaxing weekend. Thank you for good times in our new practice studio space… we are really enjoying it but I do still feel somewhat self-conscious when the other bands are around and can hear what I’m attempting to do. (sing) Thank you that you give me courage to go on and try to write some new songs. Thank you that you gave us a home with air conditioning… it truly is a luxury. Thank you for our peaceful home and for giving me the best friend anyone could ever ask for in a loving husband. He is the best!
Q1-Dad, thank you for giving me the words of encouragement last night at VC. You told me that you see me as pure gold in a form that you think is a perfect form. You told K also to tell me the story of the widow that badgered the judge for a long time he gave into her and that you have heard my plea many times and I have not given up but continue asking every day for justice; that you also are going to give into my desires. Desires for the Kingdom to break through and use me in any way you see fit.
***I have much to tell you. I like to talk to you through other people but I also like to talk with you here and all throughout your days while you work and when you rest. Yes, I do have justice for you. I will repay you many times over what the enemy has stolen from you and from me (seeing my kids happy fulfilled and loved at all times.) Yes, Lucy has stolen not only from you, but from me! I will definitely have the last word in this situation, on that you can bet! I have many treasures lined up for you and for all my children. Your crown is getting prepared, I know you don’t really care about that, but it is important. You are royalty and the bride of Christ.
I only want to lay that crown at the feet of Jesus. I hope that He gets the praise he deserves from everyone on earth. Help me and give me the grace to help make Jesus deeply loved by all. Your Kingdom come, soon, Lord. On earth as it is in heaven! Amen!
Q2-Jesus, I want to bring lost souls home to you through music. DB Thinks I should be vague and put lots of reverb and special effects so people cannot easily hear the words or understand exactly what I am singing about. What would you like my songs to sound like?
***You should do whatever the spirit leads you to do. You will develop your own style and people will understand you… not only the English speaking listeners, but people will hear your songs in their own language. You will be surprised at all that you are able to do with our songs. I say “our songs” because it will not only be you singing, but my spirit alive in your words… the word of God will be relayed to the world in music. As we’ve discussed before, Mar, we will see many miracles happening… be prepared for a mighty ministry unlike any before. Pray for this, every day!!!
Q3-Love, I am depending on you… what do I need to do to get your guidance with my voice and lyrics? I feel kinda alone in this project so far… I mean, I don’t have any talent so to speak. Will you give me the words, talent to carry a tune, melodies and stories to tell in songs? Will you give me the ability to sing in tongues that people can understand in their own language? What do I need to do to get the grace for this assignment?
***Haha, Mar, you don’t need to try to force this. It will all happen in due time. You will be surprised at how easy it will be! God will show up for you… you don’t need to worry about a thing. When the timing is right, it will flow like the river out of you. Living water will pour out of your songs for the world to hear. That’s right, Mar, you should be smiling! God has found favor for you. You are the apple of his eye and we will take good care of you and your new ministry. That’s right, you have a ministry lined up for you in your future. A ministry of love. Music for the masses… it is going to be even more amazing than you could ever imagine!
Q4– Mom, I am not so sure about having a “ministry”; I mean isn’t that for people that have it all together, know the bible, have a good voice and can play instruments with skill? I have none of that. I offer up my life, but I don’t really have much more than that to offer. It’s so little of an offering because I really don’t know what I can do for God except offer a lot of ideas with grandiose thoughts and dreams weaved all throughout it… mental stability is questionable, too. Haha. J
***All that a ministry is- is a service of any Christian or a group of Christians working in evangelism… all Christians are called to evangelize. It is the great commission, go and tell all the world of the love of Jesus. You are a Christian and you want to share His love with people. Right? Right, so what’s so hard about that. You have a heart full of love for people and only want them to know Jesus. That is all you need, that and Faith. ShamRock Studio will be blessed and made holy. Many miracles will manifest from the music you make there. Keep the faith, you will see fruit soon. Write as much as you can. Try to dedicate 30 minutes to it every day if possible. Songs will be downloaded to you.
Actions Requested:
God gets the last word over Lucifer.
Be prepared for a ministry unlike any before.
People will hear our songs in their own language.
Evangelize through music and a great ministry will result. Pray for it.
Write 30 minutes every day if possible; songs will be downloaded to you.
Closing Remarks: Thank you for this time and your love. Thank you so much, Dad, for asking me to come to these board meetings. Help me be who you want me to be. Please hear my prayers for EPP, Inc investment funds, and for your Holy Spirit to work through me to create a mighty ministry. I desire to make Jesus deeply loved by all people. Help me work towards this goal and see me through to completion. Help me be faithful to do your work as you call me to do. Give me the energy, health, love, charity and time to do all that you have for me to do. I need your help. Please help me transfer a life of working for myselt to working for you full time in this ministry you are calling me to. Amen! Xo, ~Mar
