Discography
Catch Me (2006)

Jonah Ate the Whale (2002)
With Jonah Ate the Whale, Todd blended World and Rock music to create an edgy, cool, hard-hitting sound that is as unique today as the day it was created. One critic stated "This is described as Christian music, but it sounds more like Bob Dylan invited Kenny G over to jam..."

Feeding the Monster (1999)
Todd's first solo CD, and first successful attempt at engineering an album. This acoustic classic looks at life from many angles - from "Late, Late Last Eve", a mournful epitaph for a fallen friend, to the aptly titled "Mr. Happy", virtually all emotions are touched on in an alternative folk style that only Todd could deliver.

Rejoice and enjoy the victory of your inheritance on this beautiful Tuesday.

Clap your hands, rejoice, speak to God of the awesome benefits and triumph of salvation! Celebrate with Him the victory of the cross! Christ your King is King over the earth and her kings. Even all the principalities and powers of the spiritual realm that is unceasingly active around us. He has chosen our inheritance for us, which are all the promises He made to Abraham. Accept it, receive it, and rejoice with Him. Gal 3:16,18;Col 1:12. Christ ascended in victory and gave us power(authority) over all the power of the enemy. Enforce it in His name. Sing praises to God; sing praises! Sing praises! Shout to Him with a voice of triumph! Sing praises to our King of all the earth. Sing praises understanding that God, who reigns over all, has subdued all the powers of evil under our feet. Psalm 47. The enemy will not outwit those who trust in God their shield. Nor the son of wickedness afflict them successfully. He will beat down your foes before your face and plague those who hate you. He is your Father the Rock of your salvation. Psalm 89:22-23,26.

Jesus comforting Hugs to you and yours.

Father God Confirms His Word

2 Cor 13:1
13:1 This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.

I wanted to start off that I cannot just use the say "God" because to me at this moment in time, and maybe forever, seems very impersonal. It is not giving Our Father proper Reverence. So in my devotionals from now on, I will refer to Him in reverence, "Father God".

Father uses many ways to confirm what He is doing in our lives. I have seen first hand where He has step by step confirmed what He is doing, through three witnesses. He is using His word, revelations, dreams, visions, and books. When Father wants us to get the point, He will confirm through an inner witness as well.

Nothing Father does is without a reason. Nothing He does is useless or without purpose. Nothing He does is just on a whim or a fancy. There is a point to it all. It brings a conclusion and brings a life message and brings hope and deepens our faith and trust in Him.
Some things are hard. I wont mince words about that. Depending on the person its harder on some than on others but going through such a witness brings deeper understanding of His ways and a deeper compassion and love for those that suffer.

Father God wants to bring us all into a deeper understanding of Him and His ways. He wants us all to know how deep His love is and that He will do His best to make sure we spend eternal life with Him. However, He WONT violate our choices, because He has given us a human will and He wont violate it. We make the choice to follow Him or not.

Now here is where I will lose some people. Especially those with a religious spirit. God sometimes will allow circumstances in someone's life to happen in order to make SURE they receive eternal life. It might mean they will die early in life. It usually happens when someone will end up in hell, by the lifestyle they are in.

He knows our hearts. When that person begins to change, even for a short time, that is usually when He takes them home. In those that are ill, they appear to get well, just before they pass on. It happens BEFORE they can slide backwards.

Remember, He doesn't want to lose anyone. He knows our hearts and our habits, and knows if we will go back to our lifestyle again or not that can also bring death. So rather than lose that person, will bring them home.

Some babies live only seconds, some live longer, just long enough to bring hope into someone's life. Nothing is without purpose. Although sad, blessings sometimes leave this earth safe in the Fathers arms, and their legacy lives on through the sands of time! Each life brings a story, and a purpose. Some live long lives, and some live short lives. Each and every life is important to Father God. He loves us all.

Eternity is what we need to focus on here. That is a long time. Who wants to live it without Father God? Its His LOVE that takes them home early. Its not a curse or a bad thing. People are not losing their children or their family member because they were bad. GOD LOVES THAT PERSON! That's why. The nice thing is? They are ALWAYS in our future! When the Lord is our Savior! We get to see them again! They are NOT lost forever!

We had a uncle, that went home at the age of 44, leaving his little 5 year old daughter behind. Prior to that, he was into drugs and alcohol. He had just started to turn his life around, and was starting to go to church again. He was in a critical car wreck, and he went home to Father. Father God knew that he would slip again. Maybe even die in drugs and alcohol related things, and in sin. So rather than having that happen, at the point of turning his life around, He took him home.

His daughter was raised by his parents. Then at the age of 13 she chose to go live with her mother. She was a gifted young lady, and has all the attributes of a wonderful daddy. She is a light and blessing to all who know her!

DON'T put Father God in a box, and say, HE WONT DO THAT, because a FATHER who loves will do anything it takes to make SURE His son or daughter arrives safely in heaven and out of the grips of the devil!

So my devotional this day is about God confirming His word. He uses a lot of different ways to confirm it. As I stated before, He will do whatever it takes to get the point across and will use those not even saved to speak to us! He will use children, elderly, and if we still wont listen, sometimes, as He had the donkey speak, He will use animals. His love is so amazing and so unlimited and so vast, that He will do whatever it takes to save us! To make SURE we spent eternity with Him! But if we are not listening due to pride, or arrogance, or ignorance, we miss out on the most amazing masterpiece, and tapestry of Father's design! Its like a tapestry being woven! Each thread in place, each thread having a purpose!

Father uses each person differently to confirm a word! To confirm that its Him! Some its an inner witness that knocks them over! (not physically) but it's a term to say its VERY powerful! Some feel a deep inner love, and peace the moment they see or hear the thing Father God wants them to know. Some get an electrical jolt. Some get tears! Some shout with great JOY! To some, His Word reveals His will in a situation and its so overpowering, they cannot contain the tears of joy!


Sometimes someone will be thinking they are going to say something and something entirely different comes out their mouth!

God can override us! Before our brain catches up! Truly! Never underestimate the power of Father to get the point across any way He can. He is limitless. He is all mercy. He is all love. In my life, I have seen this happen. I went to say something and something else popped out and it was a witness to that person that they had heard right earlier!
So I hope you will be open to understand that Father God, will bring a full witness to everything He is wanting you to know, and you can trust Him in that!

I hope that this blesses you!
I am seeing first hand, how mighty and powerful Father is, and how there are no boundaries with Him, that His love is forever!


In AWE of my Father!

Is your life ablaze with praise for the One who breathed life into you, the One who taught you how to breathe in and out, the One who shared His own breath with you? How much of that breath have you returned to Him in the form of worship and praise?


We are to enthusiastically and with great joy praise God in the temple of our bodies. Indoors and outside we are to praise Him. In worship gatherings and when we are alone, we are to praise Him. We are to praise Him when we feel like it and when we don't. We are to fill His created universe with the praise of Him. We are to worship and praise Him because of His mighty deeds of goodness and the excellence of who He is. We are to praise Him with every musical instrument available. In a symphonic rhapsody we are to praise Him. Everything that breaths is to worship and praise the King. Psalm 150:1-6. Let His praise continually be in your mouth. Let your boasting be only and always of the Lord alone, so that others may hear of His wondrous grace and mercy and be glad. 34:1-3. Praise is always the right thing to do in all circumstances. In order to live in victory, we must learn to praise our God. It is a good thing that we do when we give the sacrifice of praise to the Most High in the morning. And declare His faithfulness at night with the same. As we come before Him with thanksgiving in our hearts, praising and loving Him, who has first loved us, we are welcomed into His presence where we receive the fullness of His grace. It is by the work of His Hands that we are made to triumph in His ways. Psalm 91:1-4. It is by praise that we keep the door to victory open. May the whole world soon be filled the praise of Him.

Love and hugs
Sylvia

Have a marvelous 4th of July! What a great time to praise Him.

God Bless you and have a wonderful Spirit filled day!
I love storms. The reason I love the thunder and the lightening and the water works that come down from the heavens, is it makes me consider that God is talking to me in the thunder, showing me His power in the lightening and that NOTHING is impossible with HIM, and the water is the Holy Spirit raining down on us all! Have a glorious day!

Hello my precious friend. Hope you are doing well and being blessed.

Listen to Me My victorious child. I have purged you of your sins and now I sit at the right hand of the majesty of the Most High, always making intercession for you. I have given you the excellence of My name, which is above all names. Do not be shy and hold back from that which I have called you to. Grace and more grace is what you have. You are free to sail with Me into the realms of the greatness of My excellence. I uphold all things by the word of My power. I am the eternal Son of God, My Father, who became the glorified and exalted man of your redemption. I have inherited all things from My Father, who has made you a joint heir with Me. I have claimed you for My own and given you the keys to the Kingdom of God for you to use NOW. Today! Every day! Come drink of the intoxicating love that I extend to you My beloved. Spend time in the throne room with Me. Bask in My relentless, overpowering, life changing love. Come, take up your place in My kingdom, you are the brightness of My glory as I am the brightness of the Fathers glory. Let the power of My word keep you in the secret place of My presence where the consuming fire of My glory covers you. Where no evil can find a place to kill, steal or destroy your destiny. Die to the desires and torments of your flesh and awaken unto the life that the provision of My death and resurrection has made available to you. Fear not I have gone before you and prepared your way.

I died that you might always have enough of every good and perfect gift of My love to sustain you in your earthly journey. I am El Shaddai. I am enough. Enough love, power, knowledge, wisdom and provision to complete the course of your life in Peace (wholeness), joy and victory. I died that you might never be lacking in any good thing. Trouble, sorrows and persecutions a plenty will come your way, but I have overcome them all. And My victory is yours today, just as surely as your eternal future is safe and laid up for you in heaven. Trust Me! I have been where you are. I have walked in your shoes. Now come walk in mine and enter into the victory of My triumph over all the powers of evil.


May the fullness of Christ glory covering you be always visible to the world around you. And may you be always the conduit of His love, which changes the darkness into the resplendency of His marvelous life changing light.

Hebrews 1:1-4; Romans 8:34,7,13; Psalm 34:10; James 1:5, 3:17; Luke 1:19.

Have a great week!!!!

Gratefully In the service of His majesty
Love, hugs and prayers
