Pearls – Audrey Assad

Hello, sweet girl. <3 You don't know me, but I love you. I'm sorry Christians are calling you out for ridiculous things like showing cleavage and having buddha statues. What have these things to do with a young woman who is clearly in so much pain that she turned and ran from her Father in heaven? I don't stand here to condemn or judge you, but I did come to share something you might not have heard of yet. (I assume you are still searching for meaning and hope.) I remember reading an article from you turning back to the Catholic faith, years ago, because you were told it was the oldest/farthest you could reach back to Christ and that it felt right. But you didn't find anything there either, did you? Just more of the same problem. Most Christians don't have an anchored faith because American Chrsitianity isn't actually anchored in anything. In this modern worldview, Jesus is supposed to bring peace, joy and love to the world, so why are we all sick, dying, and in torment? I have a challenge for you. Seek Jesus just one more time, on this final narrow road. I found him there 15 years when my husband came into my life and witnessed to me in a coffee shop.I was a worship youth leader who had been a Christian my entire life, hungry for truth, filled with anxiety, and shallow in my faith. After that historical day, Jesus pulled me onto the firm foundation that I'm on today because I was given the simple gospel that nobody in this country hears anymore. It made the song "Amazing Grace" make sense for the first time in my life. It made me realize how a person could be whipped and burned and not give up their faith for anything. It made me realize that I am no better than anyone else on this earth and that I'd lived my entire life as a believer in Jesus thinking that I was a good person when I absolutely am not. I am totally throwing this idea out on a limb, just in case you haven't heard the true and wonderful gospel so that it makes sense, so that you're not in constant torment and running from Jesus when He is your every answer, beloved. I'm going to leave you a link that shares the same truth I heard when my hubby shared the gospel with me. And just incase you're afraid of outside links, just look up "Ray Comfort" or "Hells Best Kept Secret" in the search bar and find links yourself. I'm not selling you anything. I have nothing to gain by telling you these things, but you are a sister in Christ and I felt lead to share this information with you. Praying for you, Audrey. Please don't give up. The truth is hard to find, but it is there for those who are desperately seeking it out. God bless you and love you. Also, thank you for all the beautiful songs you've written over the years. "Even unto Death" helped me through a time when I thought I was going to die in the hospital. I had your song on repeat. Never doubt the impact you had on your brothers and sisters in Christ.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZdv-TtiMkg

Thank you Audrey for this amazing cover!! Your music has a profound beauty and healing power to it, it truly touches heart ♥️

I think I figured it out.. Jesus didn't suffer to save our temporary flesh from the battles and scars of this temporary world. I have struggled so much that it feels like I am drowning at times. I am thankful for the Anchor I discovered when I was 28… I was so lost bc my mom kept abused foster babies. YES. I said… abused babies. It robbed me of my childlike faith. The lights went out in my world.Thankful for Audrey Assad Radio –which I ask Pandora to play for me every day of my life. All I concern myself with is that God consoles me through her words. I am not concerned that her heart hurts like mine has for so long. Something would be terribly wrong if she didn't hurt over Syria, and this broken world… I just cover her with loving thoughts and prayers… and sooo much gratitude. One night while I was crying out to God, he started playing one of her songs in my ear: "Immanuel's Land"The lyrics (which I didn't know then) tied in with an exact dream He gave my sister and brother-in-law for me (they had the exact same dream on the same night!!), so I knew it was from God. Yes. God speaks through Audrey's angelic voice. To me.And so glad I now get it:Jesus didn't die to save our temporary flesh from temporary pain… but our eternal soul for eternal peace and rest in Him.And there, in Heaven, He holds the little ones and all the broken ones very close…Guess what song Pandora started playing at this very moment?? "Oh Christ, He is a fountain, a deep sweet well of love…"Thank you beautiful Audrey… and thank you sweet Immanuel…

Came upon her song on You Tube …."Good To Me" about a week ago. Then I read she had left her faith in Christ or only God knows if she ever truly knew Him. Don't know what is true but I pray for her. He has given her with such a beautiful voice to touch lives for Christ. Don't let Satan win Audrey in your life because this is exactly what he would want you to do. Jesus loves you so much. Let the message of your song "Good To Me" ring true to your ears. It is a beautiful song that has most definitely touched my life and I'm sure many others. God Bless.

Audrey, I’d like to talk to you about why your faith has failed and why you have resorted to idols, as I see on your piano. Why the knit cap? Why the dyed hair? It’s like the loss of your faith in God has split your personality seeking solutions you will never find. Your gift is your voice, but is it serving the Lord with idols and craziness? If you are in a drought it’s no excuse to turn away. The world cannot provide for the Christian, you must turn only to the Lord. Do not be like Lot, and remember Lot’s wife. Do not turn in to the world. Repent and revive. Fear not. The Lord tests and scourges that you can bring forth more fruit. If you’ve been pruned, stand up in the test, do not fall away.
