“…Falling to my knees in prayer, I beseeched God, “Why didn’t You reveal this until now? Why didn’t You tell me?”
I felt God impress on my heart that the vision given months ago was now coming to life. Tears streaked down my cheeks as I thought about the mistakes I’ve made, the sins I’d committed, and all my imperfect flaws.
I cried, “How is it me? I’ve done everything wrong! Taken the wrong roads! Sinned again and again! I deserve to be sent out into the darkness and destroyed! God, how could you have appointed me?”
“Because I know your heart, Shannon.”
Waves of humility washed over me. God knew. God knew from before I was born every step I would take, every sin I would commit. God knew every decision I made before I made it and still appointed me. I was humbled by God’s grace and love.
This was not of me… I did not deserve the honor of sharing this message with the world. This was by the grace of God.”
About The Gospel of Joy: On Sunday, December 13, 2009, a bit after 2:30 AM on the interstate somewhere in Ohio as I drove home from a life-changing cross-country road trip with my Saint Bernard dog by my side, Jesus called my name. Some people call it “coming to Jesus,” but no, most definitely, he came to me. And soon after, illumination from God spoke, “It’s time, Jesus throughout all religions,” but I didn’t know how or why or what I had to do with it.
It wasn’t until after years of discipleship that I fully understood it meant Jesus was calling me to be His apostle heralding the sign of the Son of Man which signaled the transition for humanity on earth as of December 21, 2020, that is, we are indeed transitioning into the promised Messianic Age (eg, New Millennium, Age of Aquarius), what Christian and Interfaith pioneers have also coined as the Interspiritual Age, through the mystic heart and contemplative mind of Christ. (Also in other terms, known as the 3-D to 5-D shift of “New Heavens and New Earth” as described Revelation).
The Gospel of Joy is an inspired real-life story of inner healing and the grace of God’s promises coming true, serving as a guide for spiritual growth in faith beyond beliefs and idols to true freedom in Christ’s love in real-life on earth.
Get ready for a roller coaster—from sinner to saved and onward to disciple and an apostolic calling—you’ll journey along every step of inner transformation as writings shift from suffering into the joy of a pure heart and a renewed mind in Christ in the Universalizing faith level as described by James Fowler in his writings on the developmental stages of faith.
Uniting humanity within the mystic heart and joy for all in the freedom of Christ’s love, The Gospel of Joy also includes a prophetic declaration for the United States of America (that already came true after publication).
Imagine infinite miracles and blessings upon all the Earth, everything is possible if we follow The Way of Love. This is the way of joy, let’s go!
