"Releasing songs of freedom and revelation of God’s love in pursuit of identities being restored back to Christ."
Beckah Shae’s destiny was mirrored in a simple act at an early age. The little girl, who was already often called a songbird, was recorded singing, “Jesus Loves Me” at the age of 2. Beckah’s mother was raised in a traditional Jewish home, and her conversion to Christianity was a crucial element in guiding Beckah to her own faith and witness through music. She would need that assurance of God’s love in the coming years.
Following her parents divorce at age 3 were a series of trials that lead Beckah to spend much of her childhood moving into friends and family members homes, staying in cars, hotels, battered women shelters and even spending time in foster homes. Despite what some would describe as hardships, Beckah considers it a joy to have developed a strong dependence on God and His word during this time. She received an understanding of God as her Safety, Shelter, Refuge, Security, Father and Best Friend and found comfort in expressing herself through her songwriting. People who heard her recognized a power in her voice that came straight from the passion in her heart. A talent scout soon discovered Beckah Shae shortly after her high school graduation and within a few months, Beckah was recording a demo in Los Angeles, working with some of the top producers of the time, leading to a meeting with Randy Jackson at Columbia Records.
She began to seek acceptance and approval from industry professionals, which led to an obsession to meet all their expectations. Her identity was lost and seeking to be found as she hopped from trend to trend. Now Beckah Shae quotes, “To see yourself the way God sees you, is the beginning of Freedom". Overcoming bulimia, depression, and anxiety, Beckah is passionate about exposing the enemy and his attempt to rob Gods people of their self-worth by convincing them to accept a false identity. She received God as her Deliverer, Healer, Provider, Husband and Joy and believes that sharing an Intimate God, will lead people to a knowledge of the fullness that He has for them.
Following several confirmations, Beckah heard the call of God to move to Nashville in 2002. It was there God revealed a bigger vision for the songbird. Little did she know, God was working to provide a partner to help take her music to a new level. Beckah was introduced to Shoc, a rising young producer who had worked previously with Christian artists such as tobyMac, Group 1 Crew, and Lil’ iRocc Williams. They discovered that their passions for ministry followed the same path, and as time progressed, their friendship and musical partnership developed in to love. The pair married in August of 2004 and has since produced 2 independent works on Shae Shoc Records, titled “Butterfly” and “Joy”. Both projects are tinged with soulful vocals and catchy pop/r&b beats. “Butterfly” and “Joy” are currently available nationwide through iTunes & all internet distribution. Beckah Shae has been singing and ministering at hundreds of churches and events across the nation since 2005. As an independent recording artist, her single "No, No" had great success placing in the top 10 at several radio stations. "Faith Is" has also been favorably played throughout America. She sang on Grammy Award Winner Jonny Lang’s latest album "Turn Around" and has recently done demo work for tobyMac's upcoming release in Feb 2010.
Shoc, Beckah, and their 2 daughters Joy and Grace, are now living in Nashville, TN. They have been members of Family Affair Ministries since 2003. Currently, the Lord has been using Beckah to heal sicknesses, speak prophetically, and release words of knowledge and wisdom. Songs of truth, freedom, restoration, and joy are released through Beckah to enrich others to accept the infinite love that Christ has for them. Beckah Shae says of the winding road she has traveled, "I know that He’s allowed me to endure all the things I’ve gone through in life to draw me close to Him and find Faith, humble me while gaining a bold confidence in His Power and develop a true compassion and genuine love for His people. I'm on a mission to dive deeper into the heart of God and share with the world the truth and treasures I find while I’m in there! To God be ALL the Glory Forever!"

It's like a train through a long tunnel, can you see the light?

And does anybody hear Me? Does anybody see?
Is there anybody thirsty? Is anyone hungry?
Is anybody dying? Is anyone ready?

Who is ready?
Cause I am looking for...
Who is ready?

Is there anybody willing, to follow Me?
Is there anybody thirsty? Is anyone hungry?

(End)
Does anybody here Me? Doesn't anybody see?
The song "Are You Ready?" by Beckah Shae is a message about the imminent return of Jesus Christ, and it is a call for people to prepare for it. The lyrics in the opening verse create an image of a train approaching a tunnel, and as it enters, the light at the end of the tunnel becomes visible, just as the return of Christ is approaching, and it is becoming more imminent. The imagery of a mother with a child is also used to convey the pain and anticipation of Christ's return. The chorus additionally asks if anyone is willing to follow, surrender, and submit themselves to Christ, while also questioning whether anyone is thirsty or hungry for more of God.

Beckah Shae inspires! The direction is UP! To God Almighty and our Savior Jesus Christ who IS COMING to call us UP to His side and take us Home to our Father's house to marry!
Maranatha! He comes! When? When the last Christian is saved (Romans 11:25) and the bride of Christ is complete. John 14:3; Titus 2:11-15. We need to share the Gospel as our Lord and Savior asked of us before he went back to Heaven. Jesus will call us UP to His side above Earth and will take us home to His Father's house and we will be fully sanctified in this process by God the Holy Spirit! WE WILL BE HOLY! NO MORE SIN NATURE. Otherwise we cannot enter Heaven.
To Know Jesus Christ! That is our greatest blessing in life. John 3:16-17. Thank you, beloved. We are blessed by your faithful and loving ministry. Subscribed.
WE LOVE YOU, LORD! YOU GAVE ALL FOR US. YOUR SUFFERING WAS IMMENSE! WE GIVE YOU ALL THE GLORY! YOU ARE OUR LIFE SAVIOR. YOU KEEP YOUR WORD IN THE BIBLE.
GOD'S BLESSINGS TO ALL NATIONS AND PEOPLES
Gospel! The good news about Jesus Christ and salvation from judgment on our sins. Jesus dined with His disciples; Mark 14:22-25, the night before He went to the cross. Jesus and His disciples were eating a Passover meal together at the Last Supper. After partaking of bread and wine (His body and His blood) , the Bible mentions the hymn Jesus sang with His disciples. “And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives” Mark 14:26. What were they singing on such an occasion? PRAISE! Psalms 113-118.
THE GOOD NEWS
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me.."John 14.6
Blood coming from his body, NAKED, hanging on that cross like Roman torture weapon! What a Lord God and Savior! He had to. HE is God the Son. Only His sinless blood could pay our sins price.1 John 2:1-2. The Savior was born to die for our sins so we could live through Him. He lives to make intercession for us by His blood in Heaven! See also 1 John 1:5-10 & Romans 5:8 below.
>>> God knew your ministry before the world was made! Ephesians 1:1-14. Prayer goes out for you and those here. A CROWN in Heaven awaits all who share the Gospel of Jesus Christ that saves a soul. ( see"JESUS SAVES") 1 Thessalonians 2:19-20; Philippians 4:1. The Apostle Paul said in Romans 1:16 "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek".
This praise resounds throughout the earth: "Jesus Christ is Lord and God. Only He saves". He testified: ''I and my Father are One" John 10:30
2 Samuel chapter 22:verse 50 "Therefore I will praise you, O Lord, out of the countries, and I will praise your name."
JESUS SAVES
God the Son (Jesus Christ) has given us the gospel to share with the world. Mark 16:15: "And He said unto them, Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature."
How can we hear it? Scripture tells us. Romans 10:17 "Then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." (We receive the "word" in many ways. The "Word" is Jesus Christ!); John 1:1-5. God the Holy Spirit teaches through the Word of God in the Bible.
The Birth of Jesus Christ
Isaiah 7: 14: "Therefore the LORD shall give you a sign; behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and call His name Immanuel." Hebrew: עִמָּנוּאֵל, "God with us" in human flesh but without sin. The Savior of the world was born to die for our sins! He did so 33 years later. His terrible ordeal; body mutilated; blood poured out, finally died (John 19:30; Luke 23:46 ) and was placed in a tomb and rose from the dead the 3rd day ! "HE IS RISEN" Matthew 28: 6.
Isaiah 53:" 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all." - IT IS FOUNDED UPON GOD'S LOVE FOR MAN AND WOMAN HE CREATED
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3: 23
" For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23
"1 Corinthians 15: 3 "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:"
THE PAYMENT BY HIS BLOOD FOR ALL SINS EVER!
Romans 5:8 " But God demonstrates his love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, now justified by his blood, we will be saved from wrath through him."
“For he (God) hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” 2 Corinthians 5:21.
" In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;." Ephesians 1:7; 1 Peter 1:18-19.
Matthew 26: 28 "For this is my blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins." (the life is in the blood. He had to pay with His life)
"And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness." Hebrews 9:22
BY GOD'S GRACE ALONE THROUGH FAITH ALONE IN JESUS CHRIST ARE WE SAVED
Ephesians 2:8 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 not of works, lest any man should boast."
Jesus died and paid the penalty for our sins to rescue us from eternal death. He died on our behalf. We believe in Him, trusting His death and shedding His blood as payment for ALL our sins and His burial and resurrection from the dead the third day! John 20:24-31; 1 Corinthians 15: 3-4 above.
WHOSOEVER BELIEVES SHALL TESTIFY TO THE TRUTH Romans 10:
9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
TO DIE IS TO REJECT SALVATION IN JESUS CHRIST AND BE SEPARATE FROM GOD FOREVERMORE
Salvation and forgiveness of sins is the blessing of anyone who believes in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. We receive the baptism of God the Holy Spirit immediately which seals us in Christ and that is permanent! Ephesians 1:13-14. Those who reject the free gift of salvation, see John 3:16 above, "perish", which means their sins are judged by God the Son and they suffer eternal separation from God and the family of God forever called the "second death". Revelation 21:8
