The Prodigal Band’s ‘Missions of God’: Snippets On How the Prodigal Band Carries Them Out (Part Six): Keyboard-Synthist Bryan’s Mission (Part B)

During the final singing note of the final song at daybreak at the local music festival mentioned in the previous post, keyboard-synthist Bryan McClellan was given two separate missions by God’s angels, the Tooters. The first one given was to preach to bikers to consider accepting Christ as Lord and Savior, which was featured in the previous post, Part A. The second mission is more complicated and more difficult to deal with as it concerns a loved one, his wife, Mo, whom he had been trying to take back from the New Age cult leader she was living with along with their three sons, and was with the day before the concert ended as agreed to get back together again. Below is his missions, from Chapter Ten of The Prophesied Band © 1998 Deborah Lagarde:

Just as Tooter Two instructed Keith to lead the working and gang youth, the angel told Bry to lead the bikers and free-spirits, then added what the bulky synthist wanted to hear. “Further, only you can deliver your only love from the hand of Evil.”

McClellan smiled as he thought, “So you want me to get Mo away from Cole Blessing? That’s easy enough now.”

“No, Redbeard. Compared to what the others have to do, your mission is the toughest, because you will be pitted directly against the harbinger of sin. Don’t even think he will let you take his number one disciple from him. I just hope you are made strong enough to handle this vilest spirit.”

So that, while he had won her back, he was told that the evil forces that would inhabit another person as the satanic Corion would take over a third person after having murdered both Swami Negran and then Cole Blessing (whom had taken her from Bry and who would be ‘taken’ by Corion as the song mentioned above was concluding). This third person featured in the final trilogy novel, The Prodigal Band (© 2018 Deborah Lagarde), is named Mark Besst and is a tech mogul as well as the new leader of the Circle of Unity cult Swami had founded and previously led by Blessing, a fake physician healer.

The Prodigal Band’s ‘Missions of God’: Snippets On How the Prodigal Band Carries Them Out (Part Six): Keyboard-Synthist Bryan’s Mission (Part A)

The final parts of this series on the band’s given missions of God concern the keyboard-synthist Bryan, also called Bry, who is also well connected with bikers, which mostly make up the band’s roadies. Bear in mind that his parents, also musicians, were hard-core atheists and obsessed with Darwinian evolution theory.

Here is an irony—the first biker Bryan had ever met was Christian!

The snippet below, from Chapter Twelve of The Prodigal Band (© 2018 Deborah Lagarde), explains part of why Bry considered accepting Christ, as he tells the rest of the band and manager Joe Phillips, in his ‘revelation.’ After telling then that a Christian summer camp worker convinced him Darwinian evolution was bogus, he then brings up this Christian biker he’d met at a previous local Walltown music festival in 1981.

The Prodigal Band’s ‘Missions of God’: Snippets On How the Prodigal Band Carries Them Out (Part Five): Bassist Keith’s Mission

Next up is the mission of prodigal band bassist Keith, who, unlike drummer Tom, as well as guitarist Jack and, to a lesser extent, singer Erik, never experienced a day of poverty in his life. Not only did he grow up in a solidly middle-class family, but his kin folks were well known to be heavily involved in the music field. His grandfather was an orchestra conductor, classical music composer, and orchestra bassist and viola musician as well. His father played in a somewhat successful early rock band on electric bass. Both taught Keith on acoustic and electric bass at an early age; he was a child prodigy on bass, and bass was his thing, though he also did backing vocals.

But his other passion was being a local gang member who would also be a leader of sorts. That was why Keith was given the mission of God that he was given, aided by the fact that he was part-Afro on his mother’s side. After all, many street gangs then and now have black members. From Chapter Ten of The Prophesied Band (© 1998 Deborah Lagarde) is the mission given by one of God’s angels, the Tooters, during the final singing note at the local music festival in 2000:

Keith only stood in wonder and listened as Tooter Two spoke to him.

“As always, Keith Mullock, you will listen to and do what your leader Jack says. He will instruct you in His Word. And this is what you will do with it, for you are a true son of the working-classes and gang youth brother. You will use His Inspired Word to bring the blue-collar youth and the youth of the streets into His fold so that the discouraged, the disaffected, and the gang youth of violence will turn their energies into serving their Creator and His Son before it’s too late. And in this way, worker’s son of The Code, you can fulfill your promise to live by it.”

The Prodigal Band’s ‘Missions of God’: Snippets On How the Prodigal Band Carries Them Out (Part Four): Drummer Tom’s Mission

Next up is the prodigal band drummer Tom, who was born into great poverty within the slum district called the Hovels in the band’s hometown, his father being indentured along with other folks in this district. At age nine, a spirit being called the witch of the Hovels convinced Tom to leave the Hovels and become adopted by the band’s original manager, Billy Prestin—who also adopted guitarist and band leader Jack, who escaped an abusive father within a supposedly Christian cult. Upon becoming a wealthy rock star, Tom was determined to free his family from indenture (as well as the other Hovels indentured folks) by paying off the debt and also was determined to find out who indentured his family. In the meantime, he chose to hang out with other wealthy celebrities and aristocratic upper class associates so as to find some clues as to who held the indent over his family. That was how he met and developed a loving relationship with the princess of a fictitious principality inside Italy called Leandro, Princess Tina. The love that developed between the two was about more than just finding out who indentured his family. And the man who controlled the indent, another aristocrat named Marty, the Duke of Effingchester, having learned Tom paid off the debt—which was a curse on him as told to ancestors by the satanic spirit character Corion—vowed to get revenge on Tom by marrying the Princess! Tina, of course, was totally opposed to the marriage and despised the Duke and continued in secret to be with Tom when possible. Further, it was Tina who paved the way for Tom to realize he had to turn from his debauched celebrity lifestyle and (as she said to him in The Prophesied Band) ‘open the Bible.’ Further, in Chapter Eight of that second trilogy novel, both Tom and Tina witnessed a satanic ritual through a window of an underground room within satanic cult leader Cole Blessing’s residence. Thus, since Tom hung out with aristocrats and celebrities who were also influenced by the forces of evil and was partnered with a force for good, the Princess who was also fighting the evils of her Godless husband the Duke, God’s angels, the Tooters, gave Tom this mission they knew he could carry out…as long as Tom would not carry put what he promised his father in a letter stating he had paid off the debt—that is, to kill the man who indentured his father. Below, from Chapter Ten of The Prophesied Band, is the mission given to Tom by the Tooters as singer Erik held the final note of the final song at the hometown music festival:

Tom, his drums silent, also listened.

“You will know His Word by your band leader’s instructions. You must know these Words so that you can use them to fight Corion’s new order and the Evil of Corion you saw that night at Cole Blessing’s home. Your mission is to make your entertainment colleagues turn from their Godless ways and to take the tool of Godless culture away from the servants of Evil. Your enemy, the Duke of Effingchester, will try to stop you. You must defeat his influence, but you must not defeat him as you once promised your father. Remember, The Creator will deal with him.”

Snippets of The Prodigal Band Trilogy Biblical References Series: Episode Five—If a prostitute, a tax collector, a synagogue ruler, a Pharisee, a Roman Centurion, and some likely wealthy ship owners can accept Christ as Savior…Can supposed “Devil Worshipers”?

I have watched many YouTube videos created by supposed Christian preachers claiming that many entertainers that claim to believe on Christ are faking their beliefs. I will not post links to these videos because they are readily available to anyone who might follow rockers and rappers and singers and actors and athletes and other wealthy celebrities who claim to have converted to Christianity or were born that way.

Now some of these celebrities may be faking it, but some videos imply all of these celebrities are faking it. (Note: these folks never seem to think of the possibility that some celebrities that are supposed Satanists might also be faking it! But anyway….).

To just flat out say all these celebrities are phony Christians, however, with no verbal proof from the celebrity that they are faking it, is wrong. Folks who call themselves Christians shouldn’t be ‘making stuff up’ either! And this snippet post is a response to this rumor-mongering, which these folks ought to know Christ abhors.

Snippets of The Prodigal Band Trilogy: Biblical References Series, Episode Four: “Born Again”

The Gospel of John Chapter Three makes clear what Christ meant by “being born again”—that is, not physically, but spiritually. I need to make this clear because many folks take this whole “born again” theme as similar to Hinduist “reincarnation” or that Christianity practices a “murder” of sorts in order to be “born again.” After all, those who hate Christianity are going to make whatever excuses they can to claim it supports the notion of “murder” in order to be “born again,” using the fact that Christ Himself was crucified so that He could shed His own blood for the sake of taking on the sins of the world…He died so all believers could be born again, which some claim means Christians support murder! Seriously. I watched a video that actually made that claim, and it was not an atheist who made the video! (I have no idea what this person’s religion is….as for me, I do Christ, not religion, the hand, not the glove, and I let him know that in the comment section!)

But one does know Christ arose from the dead, soooooo…. Was He too “born again”?

Anyway…. John Chapter Three, when Christ is speaking to the Pharisee Nicodemus, tells him that ‘ye must be born again,’ to which Nicodemus answers how he’s supposed to do that since he is already old. Christ tells him it is a spiritual rebirth. It is not a matter of physical rebirth, or Hinduistic reincarnation.
