I am a singer, songwriter, instrumentalist, and worship leader, and I have a website called "New Faith Favorites", which presents, in downloadable mp3 format, great songs of praise and worship from all over the world.
In 1982 Paul Wilbur, Marc Chopinsky and Rene Bloch found themselves in the same Messianic Congregation in Maryland. God took them and made of them..."Israel's Hope". The music was fresh at the time and still carries the blessing of the presence of God's Holy Spirit. Listen, remember and enjoy!
In 1988 "Israel's Hope" released a second recording. This time it was done in Nashville Tennessee. That year, this recording received the honor of a nomination as 'Best Praise and Worship Album of the Year' by the Gospel Music Association. (GMA) They didn't win the award but many hearts were won by the anointing in the music. Refresh your spirit and take in a blessing.
Carol Cantrell and her husband Ron are avid Christian Zionists. Carol asked Marc Chopinsky to produce this, her 2nd music project, and used 5 of his tunes as well. The recording has been called a 'million dollar project' by some but even at a fraction of that amount it will bless you. Experience the presence of the Lord.
I would like to introduce you to Greg Silverman a great new Messianic song writer and tremendously anointed worship leader. Please listen to his new song "Spirit Lift Me Up", get absolutely blessed, then you can listen to all his songs at "New Faith Favorites"
I have written a new song called "We're Goin Up", which is sung by my good friend Jonathan Emanuel. It has amazing guitar work by Brian Kooken, some smoking brass by MoHorns, absolutely cooking flute work by David Tauler of House Of echO, and wonderful words of praise. It is really a fun song, and I hope you like it.
You can purchase my new song (Including lead sheet and instrumental track), songs from the artists on my playlist above, and a lot of other fantastic artists from all over the world.
Please listen to my new song, and the songs of all the other artists on "New Faith Favorites", and get a FREE GIFT just for visiting.

Hello!!! How are you today? Are you hungry for more success in you walk with Jesus? It is Jesus desire that you be a fully functional and successful bold ambassador in the kingdom of God. Philemon 1:8-9; Ephesians 6:20. Just as successful as He was in becoming your Savior.
After feeding more than five thousand people by multiplying five small loaves of bread and two little fish Jesus commanded His disciples to get into a boat and go to the other side of the lake. (Sea of Galilee a freshwater lake). And after He sent this great multitude away, He Himself went up into the mountain to pray. Time past and evening fell as Jesus communed with His beloved Father. And the disciples found themselves in the middle of the lake tossed about by huge waves stirred up by a great opposing wind which battered them about and caused them to fear for their lives.. By the time Jesus had finished His prayer time with the Father it was the wee hours of the morning. (Between 3 AM and 6 AM) Having sent the disciples on ahead He set out walking across the sea to where they were. However, when they observed Him coming toward them walking on the water they were even more terrified than before. Now they had what they supposed was a ghost coming for them! And Jesus would have passed them by except in their fear they cried out. Mark 6: 48 ( Remember Jesus told them to go to the other side. He never told them to stop in the middle of the lake and fear any storm that stood in their way of obeying His command. He was going to meet them on the other side.) When Jesus heard their cries of terror immediately He stopped and talked with them saying," Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid. Peter responded Lord if that is really you COMMAND me come to you on the water. Jesus simple response was COME! Peter climbed down out of that wind and wave tossed boat in a great surge of instance faith, which enabled Him to walk to Jesus. Having taken His eyes off the wind and walking on the water to Jesus and having solved the ghost problem, Peter once again turned his attention to the boisterous winds that still raged about them. And he was once again overcome by fear and doubt, which immediately caused him to start to sink beneath the turbulent water. In his desperation Peter cried out to Jesus to save Him. And as Jesus stretched out His hand to save Peter He also said, O you of little faith, why did you doubt!!!
Notice Jesus COMMANDED His disciple to get into that boat and GO TO THE OTHER SIDE of the lake. Well, Jesus was fully aware of what they would find in the middle of the lake. Remember what Jesus commands of us He enables us to do by faith. No matter how big the storm is that stands between us and our destination. If He commands it of you, you are able to do it. He ask nothing, absolutely nothing of us that we cannot, by the power of His Spirit through obedience, accomplish. We are just as much His disciples as this group of frightened men were. And just as He command them to do, we are also commanded to do what He says fearlessly by faith without one smidgen of doubt. Just before these men set out on their voyage to cross the Sea of Galilee, which was their commanded destination. They had watched Jesus demonstrate to them that He alone was their sufficiency in life, by multiplying the five loaves of bread and the two fish. He alone was their, and now is our, abundantly sufficient bread of life. Whatever our need, it is found in Him. He demonstrated who He was to these disciples and immediately sent them out to face the raging wind and waves that stood between them and their destination. And when they failed to do that He made it clear to them (and us )that it was because of their small doubting faith. It is undoubting faith that we are to apply to every circumstance of life. Jesus is there to caught us when we fall and cry out to Him. Just as He was with Peter. But, oh have much better for us, and how He rejoices when by faith we determine to walk through the storms of life right into all the promises of His grace.

FREE PLANT OF YOUR CHOICE

As I was working in my flower garden this morning and talking with MY Father God, He brought to my mind how our lives are liken to plants and flowers that grow around us.
As Godly plants we are rooted with the WORD,
Planted in the soil of love,
Watered by the rains of the Holy Spirit
And
Given life by the light of HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST.
Just as in the botany family, the spiritual family has a multitude of varieties of plants.
Some require more watering,
Some require more Sunlight,
Some are hardy, [capable of withstanding adverse conditions]
Some are delicate, [easily torn or damaged]
Some are flowering, [state of blooming or flourishing ]
Some are simple, [of humble origin or modest position]
Some are exotic, [strikingly, excitingly, or mysteriously different or unusual]
SOME ARE WEEDS! [one that tends to overgrow or choke out more desirable plants]
SOME ARE DRY!! [lacking freshness]
SOME ARE PRICKLY!!! [a pointed instrument or weapon]
OUCH!!!

THE KEY TO THE FATHERS HEART IS LOVE COMMUNICATED TO HIM BY OBEDIENCE AND PRAYER. AND PUT INTO ACTION BY FAITH
The key and secret to enjoying the life that we have in Christ is faith. Jesus is always saying to us be not afraid only BELIEVE. To believe is the key that opens the door to a rich and rewarding prayer life. And our pray life, our communication with our Father, is the only mean by which we bring the resource and power of heaven into this earth realm. Into our lives. Faith unlocks our understanding of Scripture. Prayers offered in faith releases the Great Heavenly Dove's ( the Holy Spirit's) activity in our life and world. Faith is quite like love. It evidences itself in obedience to the one who Himself is Love.. Faith speaks. It boldly enters into the presence of the Father, not to simply ask, but to receive the things that it needs in order to be like Jesus. We Can, and are commanded to do so, with confidence know that it is the Father's good pleasure to grant to us any and all things that will allow us to become like Christ. This is His will for our lives. His very best. It is He who desires it most. Believe in the miracles of Jesus. Believe that He desires to work these miracles in and through your life. Our Father wants us to understand that His glory is revealed in the lives of those who believe and receive. We are God's evidence to the world that Jesus it Lord, and that we are empower by Him to be like Jesus. This is the truth of His word. And it is what we practice of His word that brings blessings to us and others. This is the way of the Most High God. This is His plan. To know Jesus is to know God. Jesus spend His life acting and speaking just like the Father that we might know God sent Him to us. The only way the world can know that we know Jesus and that He has sent us into the world to glorify Him, is in our acting and speaking just like Him. As He did the works of the Father, we are to do all the works of the Son. Or else who will believe us? Our likeness to Him is the proof that we are in Him and He in us for all the world to see. The greater works ministry is what Jesus says we will do. Therefore we must pray and expect the greater things that enable us to minister like Jesus. Let us boldly ask and receive the things we need to live, love and do His work. And don't forget to talk like Jesus. This is very important. What we say reveals what is in our heart and what we believe in our heart is what we get.
Mark 5:36; Luke 8:50; JOHN 16:23-24, 10:37-38, 11:40,13:17,14:12-14,16:24; Hebrews 10:35; Matt 18-20; Mark 16:17-20; Mark 11:23-24; John 5:20, 14:12; Matthew;12:3, Luke 6:45.
May you have a beautiful day. May God's presence be to you like a warm coat on a cold winter day. May His joy and love fill your heart and His provisions fill your life each day. ( God gave me this a week or so ago and I love it. It is His desire for all of us.)

Hi my beautiful friend. All is well here! How are things in your life and world? Hope your day is wonderful and that the coming week may be filled with adventure, new and exciting discoveries, and more of the fullness of the Lord active in you then you have ever experienced before.

Not to mention the spring it puts in your step, the sparkle it puts in your eye, the song it puts in your heart, and the glow that erupts from your face that leads others to pursue the secret of your contentment and joy.
The Lord earnestly waits for you my beloved one. With an expectant heart, He is looking and longing to be gracious to you. God watched as His beloved Son suffered and died for you, then He justified you by His grace. He is waiting for you to come to Him with all that is in your heart. To come and lay your burdens at His feet. He longs to be gracious to you. It is in His doing in us and through us what He did in and through Jesus that He is exalted. And His kingdom advanced. He waits for you and bids you come. He is a God of justice! And to you who have been justified in Christ, He is waiting, looking and longing to show you His loving kindness and tender mercy. And all who wait on Him, expecting, looking and longing for Him to work in you willing and doing His good pleasure, are Blessed. Happy, fortunate, to be envied are you who wait on Him expecting His victory, His favor, His love, His peace, His joy, and His matchless, unbroken companionship to be ever present in your life. ! The sole purpose for His blessing you with salvation is that you may live in Him and enjoy Him forever and ever. So release your burdens and heartaches into His Hands. So that He may release the fullness of Christ victory into yours.
