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: How the Prodigal Band Carries Them Out (Part One): Singer Erik’s Mission

So begins another snippets episode series from The Prodigal Band Trilogy. This series, in at least six parts, shows how each of the prodigal band members carries out examples of their given ‘missions of God,’ given by His angles, the Tooters, and given to them simultaneously during the final singing note at the very end of a performance of a prophetic song at a music festival in their home city of Walltown in northeast England. It is important to note that the Tooters, after telling each of them their given missions, tell them it is God’s Will for them to carry out these missions, for they are, indeed, ‘the prophesied band.’ The given missions, thus, are given to them in the final chapter of the second trilogy novel, The Prophesied Band.

First up is perhaps the mission that would seem to be the easiest to carry out, since it simply involved singing—to have the youth hearing Sound Unltd vocalist Erik’s singing voice to repent of their sinning ways and call upon the name of the Lord, that is, Christ. Only the singer doesn’t fully understand what the angels are saying, because, after all, he is an ‘unrepentant sinner’ and is not ‘religious.’ So, while singer Erik’s mission seems easy since it just involves singing, what the mission also implies is that the singer would have to, first of all, do a ‘mission’ on himself! It’s easy to sing about Christ, but would one really choose to sing about Christ unless one truly believes on Christ? Further, can a person singing about Christ, but not believing in Christ, convince the listener of the song to accept Christ as Lord and Savior? Hmmmm….

A Look at the Key Chapter of The Prodigal Band Trilogy that Decides the Fate of the Prodigal Band, and Their ‘Redemption Draws Near’ (Part Four)

The previous post in this series, Part Three, where the prodigal band is within white, timeless void, ends with former roadie, Bobby, who also composed a song for them relating to their “missions of God” about ‘the Way,’ Chrit, telling them that they had a choice as to accept the missions through accepting Christ—it was up to them, period. In this Part Four, they begin their journey into making that choice. The snippet, neither long nor short, will be broken up a couple of times in order to explain necessary ‘background’ material to help the reader understand what is happening within the snippet, from the middle of Chapter Eleven of The Prodigal Band, © 2018 Deborah Lagarde. Below is the snippet, in portions.

A Look at the Key Chapter of The Prodigal Band Trilogy that Decides the Fate of the Prodigal Band, and Their ‘Redemption Draws Near’ (Part Three)

The previous post, Part Two of this series, ends with the six prodigal band members heading upward along a “line” that seemed to move upward to an undetermined location. Then, suddenly, a “dot” is noticed. In previous posts, “dots” would indicate the presence of a person—or a being of some kind. The “being” they encountered tells them what they needed to hear to guide them into their “mission,” and appeared in person in the previous chapter: Bobby, a former roadie who sent them a song he wrote that he hoped would inspire them to do what was necessary to carry out their “missions of God.” It was this event which caused them to consider whether they would truly accept and accomplish their “missions,” or not. Bobby also told them why they had to be “raptured” (caught up) to this “timeless void.”

The snippet below, unlike the previous one, is rather short.

Talent For A Mission: Chapter Four (Part Three)

Note: This is a continuation of the previous post, Talent For A Mission: Chapter Four (Part Two), which I had to split into two parts (Two and Three) since the post would have been quite long had I not split it.

Throughout the remainder of The Prophesied Band all six members go on their journey to find their true selves after their Asia-Pacific Island tour ends; being fathers and husbands, vacations in various places with friends, family, or both, partaking in projects to discover the meaning of some songs or some historical figure one of them was obsessed with, and one of them, synthist Bry, trying to unite with wife and children again after a separation. Upon certain truths being revealed and discoveries made to them, their ‘father’ (that is, God) tells His agents, the angels known as the Tooters and their own agent, Morwenna, the ‘witch of the Hovels,’ to set the band on the course of becoming ‘hired servants,’ letting them know that they are about to make their decision about their ‘mission of God’ which is revealed to them in the final Chapter Ten of The Prophesied Band. Here are Luke 15:18-19 about becoming ‘hired servants’:

{15:18} I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,

{15:19} And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
