“I will make rivers flow on barren heights, and spring within the valleys. I will turn the desert
into pools of water, and the parched ground into springs. I will put in the desert the cedar
and the acacia, the myrtle and the olive. I will set junipers in the wasteland, the fir and the
cypress together, so that people may see and know, may consider and understand, that the
hand of the Lord has done this, that the Holy One of Israel has created it.”
- Isaiah 41:18

Put Your Head on My Soulder- Instrumental by Dany Kimhi
Inspired by John 15, Closer Than a Friend is celebrating the deep friendship we have in Jesus. He is the truest friend—one who laid down His life for us in perfect love and compassion.

This piece expresses the joy, contentment, and lasting satisfaction that come from being fully known, fully loved, and never without a friend.

A Prophetic Unveiling in Real Time
In this piece, vessels of movement, music, language, and sight merge together in real time. There is no choreography, no score, no prewritten script. Each artist steps in fully surrendered, listening deeply, and responding only to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
What you are about to witness has never existed before, and it will never exist again.
It cannot be rehearsed.
It cannot be repeated.
It cannot be re-created.
Because it is not ours. It is His.
This is not a moment crafted by human hands—it is a moment received from Heaven. You are not just an audience. You are a witness.

God has us all on individual paths, at times we share seasons, struggles, and triumphs. At times we get caught up chasing the BIG things on the path, instead of knowing that God has made it so that we don't have to chase...... Be still and know that...... I Am.

So present yet I can not see you
So tangible yet I can not touch you
Your presence revealed to me in times of need
But,
What if there is more to see
I know you are there in my mind
Yet my eyes deceive me time after time
A thread from heaven
Me to you
Must I believe in my heart you are true
I am surrounded by the reality of you
If only I could peel back the scales from my eyes
To reveal the realms in which you hide
Teach me if you will
To be fully aware of all in which you reside
WE'LL MEET AGAIN

Music by Johnny Cash
Many think about the second coming of Jesus and feel fear, but fear is not God’s portion for us. We’ll meet again is a reminder that His return is the culmination of His great love – the fulfillment of His first coming, when He redeemed us and made us His own. This piece invites us to renew our minds from fear of the unknown to joyful anticipation, knowing that one day we truly will meet Him again, face to face.
Revelation 22:20 - “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
