Scriptures used; Ps 18:30-33 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.31. For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God? 32 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. 33 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places.
2020 Various Musical Artists and Easter W/Franklin Graham and Michael W Smith NYC
It has been a tremendously daunting several days and 2 weeks with a cold, and staying home from work, as we in California are at least 20 days in shelter-at-home as well. So before returning to work Tuesday after Easter holiday, I redeemed the time by doing as much as possible to make this season memorable and a blessing and to share as much as possible some of my favorite indie artists and friend's music online.
See all links below article for various Easter/Holy Week 2020 podcasts I put together featuring various Singer/Songwriter/Recording Artists and Bands, including 3 Days In The Grave, Imran Ahmed, Ricky Davis, Gregg Weitstock (from 3 Days in The Grave and various other projects,) Kevin Farkas and various of their latest releases. All these mentioned are very astounding as they are all involved in projects covering writing and various aspects of production. God bless you and I pray for us all, around the world, and for a prosperous and healthy return to the best times to be alive in history. We really are in special times. And please be sure to websearch all the bands and artists below to see how you may acquire their music. And finally, here is a 24 hour a day 7 days a week prayer hotline from the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, for all and any prayer needs you may have:
‘He Is Risen’: Franklin Graham, Michael W. Smith in Special Easter Broadcast
"The Lord Jesus Christ is risen," Franklin Graham said in an Easter broadcast with Michael W. Smith. "He’s not dead. He’s alive, and we’re here in Central Park to celebrate Easter."
Franklin Graham President Samaritan's Purse gives Easter message from Central Park in New York City location of Samaritan's Purse Disaster Relief hospital tents for Coronavirus Pandemic April 12, 2020
“You meet us in our mourning, with a love that casts out fear. You are working in our waiting; You’re sanctifying us. When beyond our understanding, You’re teaching us to trust.” —Michael W. Smith, “Sovereign Over Us”
This is an Easter like no other in recent memory. Since COVID-19 completely altered life as we know it several weeks ago, the word “uncertainty” has popped up everywhere, from email inboxes to every major news program.
Earlier today, Franklin Graham, joined by longtime ministry friend Michael W. Smith, spoke to people about one thing that is certain—a message that doesn’t change with the passing of time or the rise and fall of a pandemic.
In a special Fox News Channel broadcast filmed this past week in New York City, the hardest hit city in the United States, Graham and Smith acknowledged the danger and severity of the coronavirus as they stood in front of an emergency field hospital set up by Samaritan’s Purse. Medical professionals, along with chaplains from the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association’s Rapid Response Team, have been serving there as the field hospital takes in overflow from Mt. Sinai Hospital across the street.
“Twenty-nine years ago,” Franklin Graham shared during the Easter broadcast, “my father [Billy Graham], just right over here, preached here in Central Park, and I remember that so well. The city was quiet that day. It’s like so many people had come to hear him preach, there was kind of quietness over the city, and here we are on Easter and once again we’re in this city, and it’s quiet, and this time it’s for certainly a different reason, and it’s the coronavirus that has gripped not only our nation but the world.”
From behind his keyboard, Michael W. Smith shared a few thoughts.
“You might be asking … ‘Where are you, God? Where are you in the midst of this plague?'” Smith said. He acknowledged he doesn’t have all the answers, but whatever is happening around us today doesn’t lessen the message of Easter. If anything, today’s events highlight even more the great drama that unfolded just before that first Easter when Jesus was raised to life after a gruesome death on the cross.
“When I consider what is happening in our time, and sitting here on the ground where the battle is perhaps fiercest against this foe we all face in common, I think about Jesus when He was hanging on the cross, on another collision course, heaven and hell, life and death,” Smith said. “Here we are where calamity and hope collide, and where your sin and mine and the cross collide as well.”
It’s sin that separates people from God, and the price of that sin is death—eternal separation from God. But Jesus, who was sinless, stepped in to take our place because of His great love for us. His death on a cross covered our punishment, He was buried in a tomb and His resurrection three days later defeated death so that all who trust in Him will live forever with Him in heaven.
“The penalty of sin is death, but Jesus took the death,” Franklin Graham explained. “He took the shame of the cross. He took the sins past, present, future to the cross, and He died in our place on the cross. So, on Easter morning we celebrate not a tomb with a body in it. We celebrate an empty tomb.”
During the half-hour program, Graham told three stories of people in the Bible whose situations seemed hopeless. There was a blind man named Bartimaeus who was reduced to begging because he had no way to make a living. There was a contagious leper no one wanted to be near. There were the disciples who went out on a boat and feared for their lives when caught in a storm.
But Jesus, Graham said.
Jesus gave the blind man his sight, He healed the leper, and He calmed the storm.
“Jesus knows how to take those hopeless situations and turn them around, and He can do that for your life.”
—Franklin Graham
What’s your storm? Those tuning in to the broadcast may be dealing with money problems, job loss or marriage difficulties, he said.
“Jesus knows how to take those hopeless situations and turn them around, and He can do that for your life,” Graham said. “He can turn the hopeless situation of your life a hundred and eighty degrees. He can turn it around, but you’ve got to be willing to trust Him.”
That doesn’t mean everything will be perfect.
“If you come to Christ, you don’t get some kind of pass where you don’t have to go through storms. No, we’ll still have storms in life. We’ll still have viruses or whatever else comes down our path in life, but He promises to be with us.”
Standing before some of New York’s skyscrapers outlining Central Park, and within view of the field hospital constantly receiving COVID-19 patients, Graham made a final appeal during the broadcast—and for all reading this now.
“It’s my hope and prayer that you have trusted Him as your Savior this Easter, that He’s the Lord of your life, and if you haven’t done it, do it now. We don’t know if we’ll have another opportunity. We don’t know what next week holds.”

Imran is not only an encouragement to those who have struggled and faced many giants and won, but he want's people to know you can do it if you try. Imran is quoted as saying, "To me collaboration with the greatest indie artists in US & around the world is a therapy!" And that was in reference to Bongo Records, just one of the many groups of colleagues and friends who 3 Days In The Grave and each individually, Imran and Rick Davis work with, and especially one of their best Video experts, Hagit Kastel.
