So as I mentioned earlier, I'm working on a CD project. Anticipating the release of my first single "Calling" in the next few weeks.
Ive had a few questions as far as the whole album goes and thought I would "officially" share an overview of the project. So here goes:
In 2009, I went through a time of 'solitude' with the Holy Spirit. I basically was dealing with a number of things that made me very cold and somewhat internally dead toward the religious systems around me and all its demands. My only saving grace really was the presence of God. It was a tangible and memorable experience. It was in those times that I began to understand the heart of God and the plight of the average Christian.
I believe that people desire to worship God but are quickly caught up in many cares of religion. We sometimes get so entangled in our religious operations that we loose sight of Christ and His desire for relationship with us. I believe there's so much that a relationship with Christ equips us for that we miss when we are entangled in the bondage of religion.
The single "Calling" stems from Matthew 14:28-39. Its the story of Jesus walking on the water. Peter sees Him and says "Lord, if its really you, tell me to come to you, walking on water." and Jesus says to him "Come" and Peter does what none of the other disciples ever did. He steps out of the boat and walks on water!
That was so profound for me because I feel that everyday. Everyday, Christ is calling us to do the very things we see Him do (the things that seem impossible).
He's calling us to heal the sick, raise the dead, open blind eyes and even be vessels through which the human existence is transformed. Our ability to hear Him calling us out is so important but even more important is our willingness to trust Him enough and step out. It is in stepping out that we find Him more personally being more than able to save, deliver, help, hold, comfort, direct, lead and empower us and this discovery is what sets us FREE TO WORSHIP the true and living God.
Root Scriptures:
Galatians 5:1, Matthew 14:28-39
I truly cant wait to share this project with you guys and get your reviews.
Excited!
