    Lost my mom unexpectedly in 2020 after having surgery, I had just found out I was pregnant with her first grand child. I gave birth during COVID, I felt so alone, even with the father of my son there. I fought depression, anxiety, being cheated on postpartum and body dysmorphia. It’s been a hard 4 years, when I tell you it was nobody BUT GOD, that kept me from crashing out. When I tell you I had a praying mother who introduced me to God young, and I thank her. I used to be so embarrassed as a child when she would drive in the neighborhood w| the windows down blasting gospel. At 34, I get it . I truly get, I miss you mommy.

      This info is fyi only.
      One of these 3 topics may help someone.
      All true insight is given to me by
      the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob!
      FYI:
      1]
      The way natural disaster and weather works is by the hand of God and or His powerful Angels says the Holy Bible and other ancient books such as the Book of Enoch.
      Most people can relate to this truth,
      however, Demonic Angels are rogue in every way,
      and they may choose to unleash the fury of a personal vendetta upon you, and or your loved ones, and or an entire community by way of sudden destruction by flash flood, low level hurricane, f1-f3 tornado, water spout, sinkhole, explosion, meteor, or by other creative exploits.
      No one would be the wiser to their treachery, but only conclude the individual has a case of bad luck, or a victim of so-called climate change!
      .....
      FYI:
      2]
      There is a Tsunami Tidal Wave prophesied for the entire east coast!
      The Lord God has told me in my spirit that the ENTIRE east coast (USA) will be destroyed and or underwater!
      This will be due to the Canary Islands La Palma and Iceland's volcanoes, erupting and exploding into the sea!
      God revealed to me that this Tsunami Tidal Wave event causes the events described in Revelation Chapter 8:6-9 (The 7th Seal).
      This Tsunami Tidal Wave is also depicted on US $50 and $100 bills,
      just as 911 was depicted on the $20 bill BEFORE the event happened!
      You can see a variety of TH-cam videos for complete instructions on how to fold US paper currency to reveal hidden images like the 1941 Pearl Harbor Attack, OK City Bombing, 911, and the Upcoming New York City/ East Coast Tsunami Tidal Wave!!!
      This Tsunami Tidal Wave image is also on:
      Illuminati Playing Cards
      The Simpsons' Canary Islands episode
      I, Pet Goat 2
      Written of in Novels
      Featured in Comic Books
      Displayed in Music Videos
      Featured Storylines in many blockbuster Movies
      The Storyline in Video Games like Secret Files
      Popular Advertisements
      and many other places as well!
      God warns us in many ways, but God also requires the evil, powerful, and magical Demonic Realm all around us to warn as well.
      However, Evil usually does this in the form of make believe, or in jest
      like in movies, videos, documentaries, video games, sitcoms, novels, and the like!
      The La Palma Island volcano is now splitting.
      The Icelandic Volcanoes are boiling as well.
      It is said when these volcanoes explode, their pieces will plunge
      into the Atlantic with great force, then major water displacement will occur!
      This will create a Tidal Wave/ Tsunami that will destroy New York City
      and the entire East Coast of America!!!
      This Tsunami Tidal Wave will also drown all neighboring states to the north and south!
      Areas down to, and including, the entire state of Florida, with all its nearby islands will be underwater!!!
      You can visit floodmap.net then plug in 100-200 meters high wave
      to see how your particular area may fair if you are situated on the east coast.
      This link, at the 0.30 second mark, shows recent volcanic eruptions not seen on most network news channels.

      .....
      FYI:
      3]
      The Mark of the Beast is a new form of BIRTH CONTROL!
      It is a small round patch with 16 tiny holes that form a square
      at the center of that round patch.
      This patch adheres to the skin, then fillers within this patch penetrate the epidermis and enters our bloodstream as it changes the DNA of our bodies!
      *We humans should not take this Mark
      for it will ensure Hell for our souls!
      *Nor should we bow down to worship anyone or anything,
      for this too will ensure our souls to be delivered to Hell.
      We are to worship God aka Jesus Christ only!
      Please pray about what has been written here.
      Ask Christ to save your soul by His atoning blood,
      and to direct you & your family out of harm's way in these Last Days.
      Please, if you are reading, or listening to these words,
      I believe it is by divine intervention.
      Perhaps it's not for you, but someone you know,
      or perhaps you have the power to warn many through your resources and or friends.
      Thank you for reading this.
      twelvebrothers.com
      By the way,
      Jesus died and rose about 150 years ago.
      We have been misled by Satan and his evil Fallen and Demonic Angels.
      Satan reigns in this age, thus he has changed time, dates, maps, people groups,
      the names of places, and yes, the truth into lies that fill the books
      of most libraries, grade schools, universities, and even some newer versions of the Bible!
      Satan and his demons walk among us as men, women, and children. They are our neighbors, our preachers, teachers and professors, leading scientist, medical personnel, and astronauts. They are our elite across the earth, politicians, actors and entertainers!
      Please don't fall for the okie doke!

I was so happy, I remember it liike it was yesterday titled ' The right relationship is everything' ' now l really know what this mean. It was over 21 years ago and l stand more now then ever before saying The right relationship is everything. Your relationship with Jesus Christ as your Lord & Saviour. Rest in heaven dad l know you are still serving and l will serve until the day l die. I miss you with all my heart. ❤❤❤

Lucy sing in the Ladies Chorus at the Lucy age of 10 yrs & me 13 yrs. We didn’t 😮sing in the young people choir. So, we sang in the Ladies Chorus until we graduated from high school & went off to Lincoln University. We sang this song “Jesus Keep Me Near The Cross” which was one of her favorite & mind now. I’m 84 yrs now & this song, I call it A Hymn. It brings on so much Peace to my soul when I hear. Thank you my Heavenly Father for these children of your singing your praise. 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿♥️♥️🎶

    I listen to this song at least 5 times a week along with Grace and Mercy. Because i know its God's grace and mercy that has brought me thus far. And I want to be near the cross. Back in 2009 I flipped my truck over 4 times and God spared my life. I came out of it only with a cut wrist. Praise God. My husband has come through 2 strokes, heart failure and prostate cancer. My oldest sister had a stroke thank God she's okay. She lost her 2 children 9 minths apart, then her friend passed away 1 year later. My oldest brother had a stroke left him bed ridden 4 years ago Thank God he's still her. My youngest brother had a stroke and almost went into a diabetic coma and a middle sister had a stroke. But the bad news is my youngest sister Dorothy Love she passed on 9/11/15 twenty minutes after we finished talking on the phone. So God's grace and mercy is what bring me and my family through. Thanks Mississippi Mass Choir for these songs that touch my heart and many others.

    This song hit different now. I lost my husband to Covid in August of 2020. I'm a widow with 5 daughters. Needless to say, our family is devastated. My heart is beyond broken, but it still beats. And as long as there's a beat in my heart, there will always be a place in my heart for my husband. I take comfort in knowing that he rests in our Father's kingdom and that he will never have to endure pain and suffering again. Please pray for our family and families all around the world who are struggling to cope with this virus and its devastating effects. Let's all pray for one another. These are trying times, and our faith in God has to remain strong no matter what the enemy throws at us. Prayer is the first and most powerful line of defense against the enemy. To defeat him, you must be prepared for battle at all times. The fight for your soul never ends. My husband's death crushed me, but I do my best to remain strong for myself and my daughters. I have my good days, and I have my bad days. Sometimes I ask the question, Lord why so much pain. But He's been good to me. And I won't complain. God bless y'all and please stay safe. 🙏

He watched him every Sunday morning as we struggled to get him dressed to go preach the gospel. He preached with all his strength until he passed away in November of 2015. Holy men of God never give up , they continue to praise the Lord with their last breath. He squeezed my hand and said, "Celebrate with me, I'm going to get my crown of life." Thank you, Jesus for these great examples of faith! I still listen and remember him, now I will picture both of them talking together in the kingdom!
