Where the Book Ends the Movie Begins
Bringing a true story to life!
Josiah means, "God supports and heals."
i am JOSIAH Story
Name-calling and bullying were almost too much to overcome for the child, and almost took his will to live. Overwhelming challenges and events led to a life of anger, hurt, bitterness, drinking, heartache, and just about removed whatever faith there was left.
When the storm stopped there was nothing left, and everything hit rock bottom. When the storm cleared, God was the rock at the bottom and this time a new solid foundation.
Only God can change a heart and restore hope, faith, love, peace, and purpose.
“Walk by faith and not by sight,” 2 Corinthians 5:7
Behind the Scenes and Time Line Events
God said “A book is to be written, and a movie is to be made. This will be a style the world has never seen.”
The Lord of Armies himself has planned it; therefore, who can stand in its way? It is his hand that is outstretched, so who can turn it back? ISAIAH 14:27
This is God’s Movie
Our belief:
When we speak of God, we are speaking of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob from the Bible, God’s living word.
Jesus Christ left His home in Heaven, came to earth, died on the cross, shed His blood, and He paid for your sins. He did everything for you; all you have to do is receive it. And Romans 5:8 says He did this for us while still sinners.
20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross. Colossians 1:20
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace. Ephesians 1:7
Our Prayers:
Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling, no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent. “Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.” Psalm 91
The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace. Numbers 6:24-26
