"I'll Play For You"

This song Play for you by Seals and Croft is an old one. I do have much to share about this song. In 1994 I woke up in the month of April at around 3.00 am and I had a dream I set among 10 or 12 musicians and this was the music.



Yes I was amused with this song but the musicians played it more beautifully than I had ever heard it. We were set up on a rugged large slab of concrete with broken cracks and if you didn't watch your step you would fall because of the disposition of the cement. However as this music played I was one of those musicians. 

I found this odd also because I did not know how to play an instrument. My grandfather was inducted into the Georgia Country Music Hall of Fame and he has passed away now. Ralph Nelson, My dad played several instruments but the guitar was his favorite choice. My father played guitar and I was lured to this like nothing in my life.

I did not give it much thought at the time because it was a peaceful cradling dream. As we looked across the concrete we were an island and we were surrounded by nothing but sewer. That was really a strange analogy. It was a quiet and peaceful sobering event but I didn't quite understand the symbols of the smashed concrete and the sewer that surrounded the sewer island.

This dream stayed in my mind most of my life. In 2006 my father Robert Nelson passed away from lung cancer. Quite a grip for me to handle his death because of his music and during this critical period of my life, the Lord led me to the guitar. This was a comforting way for me to deal with my Father's Death. God provided a way for me to cope with these things.

 Yahweh led me to write, this was not something unusual or out of the ordinary because I had written journals for years through periods of my life to help me along the way. Me, yes it was a huge help, reading and writing and feeling the presence of the Holy Spirit but not knowing it was truly not meant for me. Only for a season.

I was led to other Christian writers and we became deeply committed in friendship with many things in common and the thankfulness we had felt in how he had moved through our lives. As I grew in the word and spiritual maturity, the Lord was revealing more to me and the closer I drew to him , the more I could feel his presence working in my life.

There was a push, and a longing and a path that was being laid out in front of me. It became quite clear that Yahweh was leading me to share things about how he could get us through impossible circumstances if our faith and love was applied towards him. I was now being brought to another level of understanding the love of Yahweh. When we are totally dependant of this faith through Yeshua it doesn't stop there, it becomes a mouth piece of what we have seen, what he has done through our lives and our testimonies are what bears witness to others that he still lives and he was truly risen from the dead.

Yes salvation of Yeshua is a gift of his love for each one of us but there is something even more precious in this transition of time because through this transformation we decrease and he is to increase taking our eyes off our selves and pouring out the blessings of our lives as an example. A light that bears his witness. We become students in a process but once we are moved passed this level it flows outward to testify of him towards others.

There was something that was bringing me to a new place in my faith. It was time for me to move and I could not hold the Love of Yahweh anymore in my heart without the overflow. I decided to reach out more through friends and family on online networks to restore old friendships and family ties. This was something I needed to do as I had been isolated from most of these people for well over 8 years or more because of the shame of the failures of my life. Most of everything had fallen apart and what could I share that hadn't been totally humiliating. I was healing and relationships were being restored.

I was asked to start a page online for our fellowship by a Pastor, it was then that the Holy Spirit took over my life and I begin to live a total unashamed life completely in Yeshua.


It was a moment that changed everything about me. God spoke to me and said why can you share your faith with this fellowship but can't be open with your friends and family. I was very humbled by this but It led me into a deep repentance because I had been ashamed and was still wearing masks afraid of what others might think. Fears of the past and times before that I was humiliated and beaten for having such a desire for Yeshua. I didn't want to have to face these things again. There were questions that came up. What would my brothers and sisters think and the friends I had gone to school with that knew me? All these things came against me.

The truth that Yah revealed to me was to shine through and be who he intended me to be. No one really knew this part that I kept hid for so many years. As I had gone back to Networking with friends and family I laid all of these fears at the feet of Yeshua and said I will be obedient for you to do through me anything to glorify you. Me became last and I stepped out in a higher faith level. Putting myself on the line, my reputation now belonged to Yeshua and he told me very clearly. I will use your harm to bring good.

From that moment forward I was lead to others that ministered to me and polished my weaknesses. Many Saints sent to me to sing praises and that ministered to me in many ways. I laid down my pride and felt the convictions and the areas I had to release in order to be his servant. I was corrected, I was tested and I began to learn about discernment and to learn what is truly good and evil. These bad things I was still holding onto were being broken. My life was being humbled and he was ministering to me though others in a way I never knew. Bringing so much revelation and I was decreased and no longer cared of my reputation or my past any longer. It became less important of the aspirations of what men thought and more important of how Yah was seeing me.

Giving over to the Holy Spirit to guide your life is not an easy one when we have been not been able to trust but these faith steps would increase and more of Yeshua was being revealed to me. There were soon two and three that were bearing witness of his revelations and we were experiencing these things together. I was dying to self and taking on Yeshua day by day. There are many people I have shared these experiences with, even some of those old friends from school and some of my family.


Amazing through all of these blessings YAH was pouring out over this last year, there were never questions of what religion are you. We aren't religion. We are the Children of Yah that follows his son Yeshua.  What a huge miracle to know I had all these disciples of Yeshua as my intimate friends to share. This is true fellowship, one I never experienced. We now have become teachers, those with compassion, those who are healers and intercessors for a divine purpose that support each other through online ministries as the present time is so close to his return.

All of these people that I share and have bonded with are voices of Yahweh. They each have used all creativity HE has given them as recording artists, screen play directors or authors and bloggers, musicians, poets, shofar blowers and dreamers and dancers. This dream was a look into my future. We are living in desperate times and the anger is increasing and the love of Yah has waxed cold. I am in the World, but not a part of the world. I see death and destruction and lost one of my friends that was killed for his faith in Yeshua in Pakistan. We are watching the World but our cares are not upon it.

These are the people that refuse to keep Yahweh in a box. These are the people that are laying themselves on the line, that aren't afraid to share there weaknesses to build themselves up in the likeness of Yeshua and to learn of his love and to shine in this dark and present world. These are the ones that don't seek to accuse and condemn. These are the ones that understand and have compassion of the unbelieving people in the world. These are the few that have overcame impossible circumstances while the world was telling them they would never overcome. These are my brothers and sisters, the warriors for Christ that would be willing to lay down there lives for him no matter the cost and they are doing all that God has given them to bring forth the Love of Christ.

The world is dying and passing away. Looking at the world I see now. These people that have transformed my life through allowing Christ to work though there life transcended to me opening up the full working of the Holy Spirit that can not lie. These people didn't help me. It was Christ working through them. We don't glorify in ourselves, it is nothing of what we do but the power of the Holy Spirit to take us to the feet of the cross and live as the disciples did and to bring a light into the very darkest of places.

I see these standing shoulder to shoulder, each representing an instrument of Yeshua being used in the broken concrete, and the sewage of the world, of all the politically corrupt, the deceivers and lovers of the world. We will continue to bring hope and encouragement to this infested world through Yeshua we will rise. This dream has now become a reality that is so clear.

We are standing upon brokenness, and we are looking out into a huge discouraging world. The waste of all the blessings we once knew. It is passed now. The world is dying but we are rising. We don't fear the dark places, and we don't fear the destruction of the World. We have something to share and that is Christ and we will play for him, write for him, teach for him and shine in his glory through this passing age. We are standing upon the broken concrete looking across miles of the sewage from the effects of turning away from Yah, but we will be music and we will be at peace and we will shine the love of Yeshua through out the days that are left.

This was no dream but this is my life and the life of my friends. Be a player, you have harm, Christ can turn it all to good. You can be an instrument that passes across the earth and brings forth a beautiful and soundly word to the lost and dying world. God has given you the ability to do this. He willed you and created you and knew you before you were born. The Holy Spirit will equip you. He wants you to stand with us on the broken concrete and play for him.

Join the body of Christ. Be blessed and stand strong in your faith.

Religion Verses Christ.....What is the Difference?

But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance. If we live in the spirit, let us also walk in the spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. If these are not the motives, all is meaningless. Let us have good stewardship toward one another, bear each other's burdens in love and encouragement. Gal. 6:22

Don't beat and abuse others with your religion. Are you operating in the fruits of the spirit. The Holy Spirit is Love and what ever the motive it must be demonstrated with Love for one another or it is simply not of his Spirit. It has to be God's way that works through our hearts, one towards another. I had to purge all self righteous behavior, this is the worst of evils. It is corrupt and self serving. It is misleading and operates in the high and evil realms of the enemy. The enemy knows the scriptures word for word and he uses them for his advantage to accuse and condemn.

Christ says you will know his by there fruits. When fruits are mentioned in the Bible it is the fruits that the spirit is producing. Love, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance. This was a huge eye opener to me several years ago and totally changed my whole perception and brought me to a state of repentance. I discovered even knowing the Bible that is was totally useless without these applications. All vain and no purpose. Religion is nothing but Doctrine and is dead without the working of the spirit in Love. PERIOD

An Innocent Man.........A Valuable Lesson for Me.

I had a truth that hit me so hard today.  I was face to face in a discussion today with a 17 year old boy that claimed to be atheist.  My heart just bleeds for these young kids growing up in such a lost society that is trying to bring them down.  I remember being young once and there was peer pressure and some of this I gave in to. Years later I had my own children and I would simply be at a loss of words sometimes and honestly I could have handled situations so much better if I would have applied some of these results in the messages to my kids with humility instead of anger or accusation.

  Over the past couple of years God has revealed to me that reaching someone you love or even a stranger has to be approached with humility, understanding and love or they will cut themselves off completely and close their ears from what you have to say.

There are ministers that I have been blessed to call my friends and they have helped me with this problem area of weakness. Some of these posts were just to incredible not to share so I hope that you might gain some understanding as I did.  Our kids are a big concern these days.  There have been times I would have loved to grab my children  by the ear and ringed there necks because I could not get through to them.  I think every parent or adult is faced with this at one point or another.  I would like to share a better route, one that I am learning and an example that I have been shown in progress.

Reading this young boys post of how he did not believe in God and how he thought Jesus was an evil spirit I could feel an urgency flowing in my veins and my heart even began to pump faster on how I could approach him and I couldn't so I prayed and then one of my ministers I fellowship with threw so much humility on this young boy I was just struck with so much truth to examine myself.  I felt an urgency with my own kids and how to respond.  This response is so full of testimony and how it was addressed.  This boy turned out to be the minister's nephew.  I posted the comments so you could see God working through this situation.

Minister commenting back to his young 17 year old nephew.  Please take time to read this especially if you have kids that you can't reach at times.

After reading the dialog between my faithbook family and my precious nephew  it both saddens me and encourages me even more to continue this ministry and evoke sensitive topics of discussions such as this one.  Beloved Nephew, I must confess, this is a startling revelation regarding your non belief in God and denouncing of My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, although I don't agree, however I do understand.  I also know that you meant no disrespect by voicing your opposing option  at 17 years old.  You have a rare and yet special gift, which pales among your pier, I bet your a guy most people come to for advice.

In fact I'm glad you stepped up to the plate and jumped into the discussion, your comments confirm many things, that you are insightful, intelligent and outspoken.  You are indeed quite the Lewis Male(lol)a chip off the old block.

Nephew you are not alone, I speak to countless good hearted well intended people like yourself everyday, who feel the same way you do.  Yet I must move past my emotions and even practical thinking and speak to you by my own personal experience.  Let me ask you a theoretical question....How do you know who you are?  Are you sure you weren't among millions of babies switched at birth?  I personally know individuals who discovered they were adopted after believing they were blood family members their entire lives....  Mistaken identification is a crime against Self existing.

Nephew how could you prove your identity without a driver's license, voters registration card, or I.D. card?

Did you know that millions of innocent men and women are currently in prison serving time for crimes they did not commit due to mistaken identification...and a lack of character witness... Too often innocent men and women are even executed for the same reason.  Many were long gone after evidence was later discovered that could have proven their innocence.  How sad is that dude?  How sad is it for an innocent man to die and the only thing that was needed to save him was evidence or just one witness?

Well Nephew, my so called Knight in Shinning Armor Savior that you were referring to is my innocent man, who took my guilt and yours upon himself, and the only thing that stands between you and eternal life is two things.........Evidence and a Witness.  Once you have received the evidence then you will see the case totally different.  The other thing that will confirm the identity of the convicted is an eye witness...

Nephew recently in the states of Florida and Texas new laws have been passed to pay restitution for prisoners who served prison time for crimes they did not commit.  One man was found innocent and he received over two million dollars for his troubles.  He served over 24 years in prison and he was on a life sentence and the testimony of one witness caused an innocent man to be set free.

Son, I don't believe you are really an atheist,  I believe you are Godless....I believe you are suffering from a mistaken identity of God.  You've encountered the wrong witnesses, and false testimonies thus you lack evidence of Him and you have charged an innocent man of being Guilt and Non Existing.  Greg here stands before you both the evidence and a witness to the true existing God our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ......Let me reintroduce myself.....I now realize how the distance of our residency has alienated us as strangers, therefore we need to get reacquainted.  I am a witness which would like to testify on the behalf of my Savior.

You may not know that death should have claimed my life several times and I learned how powerless I was in my own Self Existence.  Ironically when I was 17 years old I tried to commit suicide and failed for reasons beyond my explanation.  Years later when I was 45 years old I was stricken by the deadly flesh eating bacteria over 95% of it's victims die....including Jim Henson Muppets creator....My doctor which claimed to be a steep atheist, converted to Christ due to his witness of my miracle.  Nothing in the history of medical journals could explain why death didn't claim the life of your uncle that is speaking to you now.

Son I pray that you will never be faced with a life threatening ordeal like either of mine, in order for you to come to the realization of Who God truly is.........  I hope that you would take in serious consideration your Uncle's testimony as God's evidence of His Sovereign Power and his Undying Love..... What have you got to lose?  Even if you doubt being who you are and die you die with a questionable doubt.  Death is death and there is no doubt about it.  Dying without Christ is to die a certain death.

He already died so that when you do, you can live eternally.  When you die alone, sadly you are wrapped in your own arms, decomposing alone in your own crypt or tomb waiting for eternal judgement.  And how tragic it will be for you to die, and have eternal witnesses and evidence that you were wrong.  Whether you believe it or not your soul(spirit)will race the reality of the existence of...........in judgement.

Greg  what if this is your last witness to testify on Christ behalf for your own good....Jesus died and rose for us to do the same and all you simply have to do is accept it....  That is all and nothing else...What evidence do you have to prove him wrong and how can you prove his non-existence.  Without a witness nor evidence you are convicting an Innocent Man, and please the gravity of the eternal judgement sentence for such a crime....Besides you have nothing to lose knowing He is who He is....But everything to gain...........Lord please listen and understand this testimony and listen with an open heart.

Perfect answer for the unbelieving young and old.  I needed this.  I hope it blesses you and you share it with others that may need to hear it.  God bless and prayers out to you.  If God has done something special in your life I think Christ sincerely meant for us to share it.  How else with the unbelieving, believe.

Testimonies are our proof.
