TRU Praise Inside The Music

On August 25, TRU Praise hosted an "Inside The Music" concert that featured them, their music, and the stories of their experience together in an intimate setting. We were at Complete Studios located in lovely Brooklyn NY, started off with the leader of TRU Praise, Marcus Pass (@BigUncleTRU) giving the history of TRU Praise and what they have worked towards since its inception.  He also asked the audience for feedback on their recent album "Journey", this album debuted at Number 6 on the Christian/Gospel charts on iTunes on its release date. People shared their thoughts and feedback on this great project and they also shared what they thought could be improved on. After all cables were plugged in and microphones checked, it was time to start.

TRU Praise started off their set with "Choose Christ". This is by far my favorite song on the album. I love what it represents, the anthem in which it has, and the vigor that it must be sung with. Followed by that was, All the Time, The Calling, Fix My Heart, and Glad. These songs have not only become permanent fixture in TRU's performance, but it has become something that was made to make a difference and their music is clearly making a difference in and around New York City. Great job TRU Praise!! To purchase "The Journey" (http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/journey/id518058957)

From beginning to end this was pure energy from an awesome group and we finally got to hear their story. If you want more information on TRU Praise you can go to their website: http://trupraisemusic.com, Twitter: @TRUPraise, and FaceBook: http://www.facebook.com/TRUPraise.

Power In Prayer

Hey Everyone!!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and I hope you're ready for an amazing new week!

Today, I'm coming to encourage you all regarding the power of PRAYER 

This morning, I woke up in a wonderful mood! In church yesterday, my pastor, started a new sermon series entitled "Prayer, Fasting, & Consecration" and I gained SO much and woke up ready to apply everything that I learned.  I turned my commute to the train station into a prayer walk and my train ride into a time to reflect and ask God to change me in any way He see's fit.  I got to work feeling energized, happy, excited, and then...I get a phone call.

The phone call disturbed me SO much and I was SO ready to be miserable and angry, when I remembered that I'm making an effort to consecrate myself this week.  I had to remind myself that I have to produce the fruit of the spirit in all that I do and I immediately stopped working and said a prayer asking God to help me to exhibit love, peace, and joy even in the midst of bad news or news that may hit one of my nerves (yall know how that is! lol).  I had to ask Him to help me to not allow things to get to me so quickly and to not allow my emotions to take control over me and cause it to mess up my day and/or my mindset.  I prayed this simple prayer with faith, and as soon as I was done, it was as if a weight had been lifted.

Many people walk around with burdens, baggage, and in emotional turmoil - however large or small - and forget that, as children of God, THAT IS NOT OUR PORTION! We are ENTITLED to FREEDOM and we need to claim it and live like it!

So yes, I just want to encourage all of you to never neglect the power of prayer and direct communication with God.  He wants to hear from us and He wants to help us, so open up your heart and release anything you may be going through, over to Him and watch how your day will completely shift for the better!

I hope this was a blessing to you all! =)

"You Are God" Single Release Party

Hey Everyone!!

Last week Tuesday night (on August 7th, 2012), Gospel Unplugged was privileged to be at Ella Lounge to celebrate Brandon Camphor and One Way's new single, "You Are God" that was released that day! This was my first single release party and I had SUCH a great time!!

The party was at a low key lounge and was PACKED with supporters! Brandon shared his story of moving to NY not knowing anyone but still following the leading of the Holy Spirit, he came anyway, and was able to successfully pull off an amazing night with the help of friends and well-wishers.

If you haven't already, go and download the group's single "You Are God".  This song is filled with lyrics that express how amazing God is and it definitely easily causes listeners to get lost in worship.  When the group performed this song at the party, they actually ended up going into a mini worship session, which was amazing! (I'm a big supporter of bringing the gospel to non-conventional spots, so a mini worship session in a basement lounge in the middle of the city, was just what I needed to end off a fabulous night!).

Show love to Brandon Camphor and One Way by following them on twitter @Bc1way and buying their new single "You Are God" available on iTunes!
