Some good news to counter the bad news

This new tale remains joyful, realistic fiction, with a happy ending. It takes place in the same world where Ascended Light and Truth & Beauty reside. But it's a stand-alone series, in a radically different culture. From individualistic New Mexicans to nice Minnesotans—that is professionally nice, often with no real personal contact.

The Lord is working to save all people possible before the end of the age of the Gentiles, which is rapidly approaching. As usual, the work is based on solid, believing marriages. That's where the power in believing lives is found. It's the core of the Lord's plan. Which is why the world is fighting it so hard. But in this story, you get to see how it works in power.

Many of these marriages are between two badly damaged artists who need the support of a strong marriage to do what they do. So, the Lord introduces them and then very quickly tells each of them that He designed each of them for each other. With their horrendous backgrounds, they get married [with strong intense mentoring in Biblical marriage for a week or two] in a matter of a couple weeks—to avoid falling into sin via the temptations of the flesh.

But it's all about the work that Jesus wants to be done.

Hildah is completely blown away by how much the Lord has changed her life since she met Him. Quite a change from when she was a suicidal widow, addicted to demon-driven porn. Jesus delivered her from that, got her married to an amazing artist who creates powerful anointed pencil paintings [a term he invented]. Then the Lord told the two of them to build a fortress in the Kingdom of God, placed smack in the middle of a tourist center which is Laodicean, at best. Truthfully? It's heathen.

After a long wait, this is the first global expansion of Truth & Beauty. To Minnesota? It's a fun ride.

Truth & Beauty begins its global work

A new stand-alone series: moves to Minnesota out of New Mexico

I know, the people of Ascended Light have been talking about this for a long time. Truth & Beauty became the home for the global effort two books ago. But Jesus has always been about "go into all the world". But you don't need to know anything about that. All you need to know is that this is not a surprise. Well...Minnesota is.

How will this all work out? After all, we have standards. That's the Minnesota mantra. However, the nature of creativity is to step outside of all of that. I mean standards would tell us that the King of kings couldn't possibly be born in a stable with all those smelly animals. I mean, really!?

But with His usual aplomb, the Lord ignores all of that in favor of delivering people from the world and bringing them into His Kingdom, with a solid rebirth and the baptism of the Holy Spirit. And they are delightfully new creations. Like new creations everywhere, whatever the Lord asks they'll do. Are the decisions to obey difficult? Sometimes it seems that way, but once the obedience occurs the difficulty is gone. The worst one? "Show me all my sin, Lord." Once you've been through that, the rest is easy.

Beginning from that baseline, the Lord works marvels—wondrous things. I mean, Jesus is the Creator. He knows how to do it well. He knows how to take care of His people. As I've said so many times before. It's who He is. He can't help himself.
