"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." E:6:12

Psalm and music progress

Working on a new album. This is a concept album. It will be called '009: Octo's Rebirth'. I am really happy so far with this album as I am doing a lot of pre production and getting intimate with each song. Also, from my main blog. A wonderful person posted that I should not be doing music for me, or for you, but for God. Meaning, that my heart should be fully worshipping and committing to God with each song. 100% effort. So, that is what I am doing as well. The mindset is like knowing that no one else will ever hear my albums, except for the Lord. Did I half step? Did I go 80% effort? So I think this album will be wild, as I just don't care about the me and you anymore. Just like with the person who wrote that comment and really sparked this new passion inside me. It is not because that person was a good person, or wise. That persons merits mean nothing, but they were used by the Lord, to teach me at the exact right time in my life to have it be the most impact. That is how awesome God is. There is a saying, '....God's mysterious ways...' I don't think God is mysterious, I think he is so awesome that our pride blinds us to his Mercy, Love and Teachings. We are so caught up in ourselves we forget about Jesus's sacrafice, and what a gift it was from the Lord. We forget and deny his very existence. Yet, when you sin, or to appease a non-beleiver 'do something wrong' do you not feel guilty? Do you not feel 'bad'? That is the Holy Spirit convicting you, the Lord himself tugging at your heartstrings to turn away from yourself and sin and beleive in Jesus. This is no game, this is no gimmick or parlor trick, this is real life spiritual 'battle'. It is from the One who loves you so much that you have a million and one chances to love him back, to give yourself to Jesus, till you die. That is not mysterious, that is awesome love from the Almighty, the only living God. There is no deception there.

psalm: care not

I don't care anymore if my music is liked, only if you are deeply touched by it. Only, if you know that I gave my all to God, and knowing that when you are touched by the music I was inspired to make, its not me, its no mystery.

I don't piddle and ponder, Lord you are too pressing. I am too weak. Yet there is solace in your grace, a roof over my iniquity.
I am just vessel filled with rotten fruits, and sour wine. I have nothing to offer but my soul, my very essence.

Your magnificent beauty is not seen by all, can I pray for them? How I pray, as I only can, I feel weak yet to pray is my only weapon.
That is never sen by another, but only everyone knew of whom I prayed for. You do know, and you bestow upon them beauty.

There is no mystery, there is no vail. You are amazing and awesome, you transform those who hate you to those who work the hardest for you. You magnify the just, and wicked, yet you have redemption for any who follow your Son, your Right Hand, your true showing of Love.

Eyes open, a mystery revealed.
Breathing in new air. New Love.

Selah
