Dance For Jesus - Bezalel #DanceForJesus

I should have done this sooner. Why I didn't do so baffles me.
Anyway, My name is Bezalel a.k.a Brown Breezy and I rap. I love to rap, I'm called to rap, and God is opening doors for me to rap more, so, yeah, SELF PROMO TIME!!!!!!

Well technically, I'm not promoting myself because I rap about Jesus, but I want people to know that I rap so they can hear my message from God to them. Sigh, I don't promote myself here too much because I want to promote God more. Sobs... :( lol

One of my newest songs which is also one of my favourites ever is called "Dance For Jesus". 

If you like it, download it on soundcloud or NoiseTrade.

Lyrics:
I'm dancing for my Lord
Break it down a little bit
We're in one accord
Kinda like the Trinity
All believers called
Like Simon Peter and Timothy
Following His laws
Praise Him cause He freed our chains
Praise Him cause He took our place
Do believe I'm saved
Grace to swiftly run this race
Like Bolt Hussain
So daily seek His face
Like searching for a missing key
Daily bow to pray
He woke you up today
We praise Him cause He's worthy
Whether cold or hungry
Every knee that has breath praise Him, He's Worthy
I'd rather be dead than a stone take my place
My sentence is Life
Serving Him in paradise....

I'm dancing for my Lord (x2)
Me and Him in one accord (x2)
Everybody lets rock with it (rock with it)
Raise ur hands if u know that He loves it.
Dance for Jesus (x16)

Dancing for my Lord is like dancing with a star
Me and Him in one accord like notes on par
Yeshua made me I'm a part of His car
Satan is a thief, trying to steal cookies from jars

Each and every day in every situation
I try to be His puppet if I'm in a conversation
Try to be light, be a new creation
Every soul on earth needs Salvation
God loves this generation
We believe for a resurrection
I bet you wanna be free of condemnation
Then Tune to God's Holy station (The Word)
Be happy in His presence
Death was the life sentence
He's the Way, He's the key that got us out, now we have purpose
Our purpose is to love Him first, people second
He always takes first place, makes new records

I'm dancing for my Lord (x2)
Me and Him in one accord (x2)
Everybody lets rock with it (rock with it)
Raise ur hands if u know that He loves it.

I'm dancing for my Lord (x2)
Me and Him in one accord (x2)
Everybody lets rock with it (rock with it)
Raise ur hands if u know that He loves it.

Dance for Jesus (x16)

LZ7 and Matt Redman - 27 Million Official Music Video

Who would have thought that Hillsong would be part of a rap record?
Don't get me wrong though, I love Hillsong and love their sound, but I didn't see this coming.


This song is ridunculous... in a good way.
Plus, it supports the A21 Campaign and its mission to rescue the staggering 27 million people who are victims of sex-trafficking today, so buying it on Itunes is a good idea. :D

How to relieve joint pains: Pray and obey

That's right, pray for healing, then if God tells you to do something else in addition to prayer, obey.

I guess God wants to reiterate and hit this point home with some people, that He still heals and loves to do so.

I saw this picture for an ad about pains in joints (like your elbows, knees, etc) and it brought back a memory. A memory that wasn't very good but glory be to God is now a testimony. Actually two testimonies of God healing me.

Again, God (Yeshua) heals and loves to.

First testimony: I had a recurring pain in my left knee for years. It was nothing really serious unless I over-exerted that leg, and usually when I bent my knee a little bit. I asked God for healing, prayed and trusted God for it to come (by His grace). I was healed instantly but I didn't see it in the physical. Years later that I have forgotten about it, the pain is gone. I love running and playing a lot now :D

Second testimony: Two weeks before a concert in Kamloops, BC (BC Hip-Hop Fest. 2012) that I was performing/ministering in, I got bad bad pain in my feet; first time ever this was happening. Well, I obeyed God's word and went to my elders and we all agreed in asking God for healing. One of my elders asked God to show me what to do if I need to do something to get my healing; that statement got stuck in my mind.

So yeah, some days later, the pain in my feet was better but not by much, and the concert date was approaching and I knew that I would be doing some jumping and dancing. Here's the miracle: I went into a store close to where I live to get my protein shake meal replacements for when I don't cook (don't ask) and somehow got to looking for shoe pads/insoles/inserts. I felt led but was not very convinced, but bought them after a google search to see if they work. And in like 2 days, my feet was healed in time for the concert. I am so happy about this... and that concert, but that's another testimony.

Why did I give these two testimonies?

In some cases, God heals immediately. Other cases, God doesn't heal immediately; He heals when He sees fit.

However, sometimes, God might require you to do something to be healed; maybe to take an action in faith and obedience, to stop doing something or to start doing something good, to change an attitude, etc.

Don't get me wrong though. I am not saying that God requires that you work to get His favour and/or healing because in most cases God just straight up heals and does so for people who don't acknowledge or love Him. 

But sometimes God might ask us to do something to get healed (like the centurion whom Elijah told to go dip himself 7 times in the . I believe God does this to build our faith.

Either way, God still heals. If anyone tells you otherwise, he/she is a liar and is deceiving you, sometimes unknowingly.

Don't ever doubt God's greatness and might. God is above everything.

Stuff about healing in the Bible for your reading, praying and faith pleasure

Coming soon.

Fear not, but fear the right things

There's not much to be said in addition to this but to Fear God and fear the right things.

Be afraid of not doing the things God wants you to do.

Fear no man.

Fear no woman.

Do not be afraid of the devil.

Do not fear death.

God is above everything.

Need I say "Please watch the video"?

It's short and encouraging.

Happy late Valentine's Day lol /bye

The Secret Sexual Revolution: Relevant Magazine Responses

I revisited a post (The Secret Sexual Revolution) that I previously declined to comment on, on Relevant Magazine; I had to respond to some things people said that can potentially confuse others who don't know better.

I get a decent amount of traffic on True Vine Productions, so I think it's a healthy assumption (in faith knowing a little bit of how God moves) that someone needing this will stumble upon this post.

I made some comments on Relevant Magazine with regard to why people wait to have sex after marriage; I hope my response makes sense and answers at least one question you have about why you shouldn't have sex until you get married.

Grow up, morons. Not having sex based on some 2000 year old societal control is SO stupid...and totally impractical. The reason that people aren't "following god's plan" is that because, no matter what they SAY, they don't really believe it. Why? Because plenty of the bible is already proven to be BS and they see people having sex every day who are still good people and very happy with their decisions. Adults can think for themselves.

Bezalel 
Wow... you're an angry person huh?
A whole lot of what you said, I believe was said by you out of ignorance.
- You said people don't follow God's plan because they don't believe it. I say, people don't follow God's plan because of many reasons, some of which are lukewarmness (Revelations 3:16), not spending time with God (studying the Bible and praying, etc).
- You said the Bible is proven to be BS. I say "Who's been lying to you?! Obviously the devil." The Bible has never been (and will never be) proven to be BS. God is real and His word the Bible is as real.
- You said people having sex everyday are good people and happy with their decisions. I say, "Can you prove it?" I know for a fact that they are not good because if you disobey God's word and have sex outside of marriage, you're sinning = not good. Also, you don't know that they are happy... and if they are, it is temporal.
Nothing gives you joy outside Christ. It may seem good for a while, then you get back to feeling bad because the truth is, we were all made to worship and love Jesus. If you aren't, you're missing out.
All that stuff I wrote/said above, is not to get into an argument of to make you look dumb; I pray that God opens your eyes to see Him for the amazing Creator and Father He is.

I'm a 30-something single Christian woman, not a virgin. I have no regrets. Perhaps it's more godly to wait for marriage, but it got to the point where I was only living abstinent out of guilt and I was ashamed of my virginity. Is that serving God?
I think the church is overly concerned about sex, making people feel guilt and shame when they don't achieve the perfect Christian standard. In many Christian circles I've been exposed to, premarital sex is treated as the ultimate sin. I suspect that the slightly higher rates of Christian pregnancies is because Christina adolescents have never been taught about birth control - they shouldn't need it if they're living the good Christian life, right? How about less focus on sex and more on developing their overall Christian faith.
I wish strength to those who choose to consider to live abstinent, because it's not easy.

BezalelHey Marie,
Just thought I should correct you on something:
Not having sex is not the Church's standard or the Christian standard, it is God's standard.
And yes, abstaining is not easy.
I think where most people miss their turn is in doing this: Relying on self and will power to overcome the temptation.
Jesus has already overcome sin for us; there's no need to worry.
God does the keeping and saving, we only need to do the trusting and obeying.
In all, abstaining is difficult, but becomes way easier when you realize that you need not do much but obey God, trust in His ability to keep you as a virgin till you get married (or not), and not fear or think about falling or failing.

Something I once read a while back (paraphrasing): The goal of a single Christian is not "to abstain from sex" but to use your singleness to draw close and serve God unhindered and without distractions.
We are failing as singles if we think that we are successful and "good Christians by just not having sex. God expects more; To trust in Him, obey Him and believe in His son, Jesus.

“Follow Christ for His own sake, if you follow Him at all.” – J.C. Ryle

I also came across this article (geared more to the ladies, but guys should get the hint too) about waiting; a very good perspective: http://gracefortheroad.com/2012/02/03/idontwait/

Society has twisted our minds and even caused more damage to a sin-prone society, clearly seen if you read more comments on the post on Relevant Magazine.

I want to reiterate that our goal as singles (while single) is not just to remain a virgin and live our lives like we are missing out on something; we are not.
If we seek God's kingdom first and obey ad trust Him, the temptations while we wait will come, but we will be victorious.

God is patient - An answer to a burning question

So, I guess that I have been lazy about researching and looking for answers to this topic, but God led me to one today (September 20, 2011).


The question?
I have always wondered (not to be mean or anything), why God [who is so loving and merciful, that I know for a fact] lets people repeatedly mock Him [without repenting afterwards I believe] and insult Him repeatedly?


Examples: Rappers like Jay-Z, Kanye, etc, then comedians, then politicians, and others.


The Answer:
This Bible verse provides the answer to that question so clearly:

2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slow about his promise, as some think of slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish, but all to come to repentance."


Isn't that amazing?!
God's love is just incredible to say the least.
He is actually waiting for everybody to come to salvation.... everybody gets a chance (or more even).


Well, this has been a highlight of my beautiful day. #epicnessJuice << Whatever that means.


Hope that answered someone's question out there somehow.


Grace and peace + Love in Christ = /bye

Yada - Love Like This (Color of Love) ft. Dave-O

Listen to Yada's Valentine's Day single - Love Like This (Color of Love) ft. Dave-O. You'll love it.

Biography
Yada is a young lady who has been given a voice to speak to the world about the Love and Joy that Jesus Christ brings. Throughout her very own spiritual journey, she hopes to encourage others along the road to righteousness. With her upcoming mixtape release entitled, "Love," Yada opens up about her past struggles and spiritual journey. There comes a time when each person has to separate themselves from the world, and choose to LIVE. The only way to LIVE, would be to completely lose yourself for the sake of Christ.

Mark 8:35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.

"180movie.com" The full Interview with Alicia

If you haven't seen 180movie (www.180movie.com), go see it... it was a huge huge blessing to me.

There was an interview that resonated with almost everyone that watched it and it was with this lady called Alicia. Here's the full interview with her (including some parts that were omitted in the final version of the 180 movie).

Also pray for her coming to know God... and that if she has already, God strengthens her in Him.

Canton Jones, Da' T.R.U.T.H, and Lecrae perform at the 2012 Stellar Awards - Wow

I (and I believe a whole bunch of others) who are part of and follow the Christian Hip-Hop ministries out there, have been looking forward to this.
Lecrae, Da' T.R.U.T.H and Canton Jones performed together at the 2012 Stellar Awards.
This is big. This is awesome.
Three of some of the biggest names in the Christian Hip-Hop arena share the stage together to represent Christ. This is just so awesome, glory be to God.

I am excited to see what God does with this.

Watch the video and be happy :)

Tim Tebow and Jeremy Lin - Two Athletes worth knowing

What God is doing for His people in 2012 is blowing my mind already. There's so much I could focus on (personally and not) but I'll be focusing on two athletes (sports stars) that God has graced to be shining lights:
Tim Tebow (NFL) and Jeremy Lin (NBA).

This excites me so so much. First, that there is a man in the NFL (Tim Tebow) who proudly represents God in the midst of others (football players, coaches, tv audiences) who care nothing for God is a testimony of God's grace. God took Tim Tebow to crazy heights last season, and I know that it is only going to get better from there.

Then there's Jeremy Lin, a man of God in the NBA who is also unashamed of Jesus. This is amazing.
Jeremy Lin is the first American of Chinese or Taiwanese descent to play in the NBA. Not only that, he is a Believer of Jesus Christ also. Amazing.

IMAGE SOURCE

Jeremy Lin (aka J Lin) is fast becoming a sensation (and I give God the credit for this) just like for Tim Tebow. Two men of faith in two of the most-watched sports. God is all over this.

But as usual, where there is success for a child of God, the devil tries to intimidate with fear tactics.
But God is too able to protect.

They all said Tim Tebow couldn't play football, that he didn't deserve to be a quaterback, but God proved them wrong. Tim Tebow and The Denver Broncos made it to the Playoffs.
Many are already saying that Jeremy Lin can't play basketball. Who are they kidding? Not me. By God's grace, Jeremy Lin outscored Kobe Bryant in their game against the Lakers today; he got 38 points. That is serious grace.

It's no surprise either that many of the same people not liking Tim Tebow for his faith in Jesus dislike Jeremy Lin. The world does not like Jesus but Jesus loves the world; He's not giving up on humanity...

But many people don't get it: God's power is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). When we admit that we can by ourselves do nothing, by God's grace, we can do everything and anything. With God, it's all possible.

Tim Tebow and Jeremy Lin cannot respond to all the criticism that they get, but God can, and God is.

How?
By making most of these critics eat their words.
By making them see that God is alive and able to raise His children up in any arena as He chooses.
By choosing the people who the world sees as unqualified for certain roles as His vessels.

God is going all out.
God is putting Himself out there everywhere for us to see His glory.
God is showing us that He is the only One that can satisfy and give glory.

God is doing all this to reach out to His people.
God wants to save us all. Everyone from the person who idolizes sports to the person who idolizes an individual.

God is using these men (as well as many others everywhere) to call out to you.

The question now is: Will you answer?
Will you answer humbly to God and submit to this Awesome being (God) who takes the lowliest of people and uses them for His glory?

Please say yes to Jesus. You've got nothing to lose and everything to gain. Jesus is everything.


Finally, pray for these young men.
Tim Tebow and Jeremy Lin.
Pray for God to keep them in Him and to keep their fire for Him burning.
Nobody can ever get too much prayer. Cover them with Jesus' blood.
