Can you imagine a life where nothing and noone has the power to disturb your inner peace? How about a life that is completely free from fear? Do you consider yourself to be confident and courageous, or is this something you struggle with?

When the storms of life are raging, do you have a shelter where you can rest, unafraid? When the winds howl and the waves are turbulent, do you remain in perfect peace?

Be encouraged tonight, because The Word of the Lord tells us that this is POSSIBLE! It may seem impossible when your eyes are on the storm, but when you set your attention and affection on God, when your ears are listening and you are actively obedient to His Voice—ALL things are POSSIBLE!

God’s Word in Proverbs 1:33 ministered to my soul this week! He has given us the wisdom needed to live undisturbed in heavenly (Supernatural) peace, confident in His Word of Power in and through us. So RISE in FAITH today and courageously declare the Goodness of God over every situation, storm, and challenge you are facing.

”But the one who always listens to me will live undisturbed in a heavenly peace. Free from fear, confident and courageous, that one will rest unafraid and sheltered from the storms of life.”“
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭1‬:‭33‬ ‭TPT‬‬

I am saddened today at Carman’s passing. He influenced me in so many ways as a young woman. He was able to achieve what I thought was impossible. He broke all barriers and brought people together in a way no one else could. He was a true gift that changed the course of Christian music and gave countless young musicians a blazing path of what it could be. Thank you Carman for going all the way for God and remaining consistent to the call on your life. ❤️

GMA Gospel Music Hall of Fame Member, CARMAN, Iconic CCM Trailblazer, Dies at Las Vegas Hospital

LAS VEGAS, Nev. (February 16, 2021) - GMA Gospel Music Hall of Fame member, CARMAN, passed away Tuesday, February 16, 2021 at a Las Vegas, Nevada hospital, after fighting a series of complications resulting from surgery to repair a hiatal hernia.

Carman Dominic Licciardello, known to fans worldwide as “Carman,” was 65.

Born January 19, 1956 in Trenton, New Jersey, Carman began his musical career playing drums in his mother’s band at the age of 15. Carman holds the world record for having the largest audience to see a single Christian artist. He set the record for the largest concert at Texas Stadium with more than 71,000 fans and led more than 80,000 fans in worship in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Among his many awards, Carman received the House of Hope of Humanitarian Award for his positive influence in the lives of American youth in 2006, other noted recipients of this award include Ronald & Nancy Reagan and Billy Graham. The Gospel Music Association honored Carman with induction into the GMA Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 2018. Billboard named Carman “Contemporary Christian Artist of the Year” in 1992 and 1995, and in 1993, his album, Addicted to Jesus, earned the distinction of Contemporary Christian Album of the Year. Carman was Grammy-nominated multiple times as the Best Pop Contemporary Gospel Artist. His recording, “A Long Time Ago in a Land Called Bethlehem” was nominated for “Album of the Year” by the Recording Academy in 1986.

In 1985, the release of his first #1 song, "The Champion," solidified his place in music history and defined his soul-winning career as one of endurance, grit, dedication, and pure talent. Anyone who knew Carman knows that he counted only this as his greatest lifetime achievement – winning millions of souls to Christ.

Carman was planning to embark on a 60-city tour later this month.
