Hey all, here are some of the highlights from my concert on Friday. Thanks for all of your prayers. There were so many battles trying to cancel this, but we won. We are using this as a promo video for our GCU Events so I'm talking about a few extra things. I hope you enjoy it. If you want us to come to your community, let me know. Thanks

These are some of the highlights from the Yoakum Texas Concert. I was promoting our FAMILY FUN DAYS™ Event coming next year.

We are creating these FREE EVENTS to take around the USA to help stop su***de and trafficking. In these events we have Entertainment, Food, Children's Games, Vendors, Sponsors, Non-Profits and more. Please see our GCU Events website for more info. https://www.gcuevents.org/

Please join me in prayer for this project that is so dear to my heart!

I have had to make some huge changes going forward. The stuff I'm doing has gotten so much bigger than me and I simply can't do it all by myself anymore. It's a great feeling, such a good feeling, to be able to do things for others and to help encourage them for free, but at some point, there has to be help coming back our way to be able to live to continue to do so with a roof over our head and food to eat. I'm thinking about applying for Social Security to help us, but I'm only 63, so I don't know if that is a good idea. I'm a bit disabled with my back because of all the fractures, but praying for total healing.

Paul put it this way, “DO NOT MUZZLE THE OX WHILE IT IS TREADING OUT THE GRAIN [to keep it from eating],” and, “The worker is worthy of his wages [he deserves fair compensation].”

So, I'm updating my Patreon Project to do just this. I'm going to be adding my 23 Episode podcast, WHAT'S YOUR STORY? and yesterday I filmed a new Episode 24 that I will post soon. I recently looked on my Rumble account and I have around 14,000 views on these podcasts. Amazing! I haven't advertised it and folks keep watching them.

I'm going to be sharing the stuff we're doing for the events and the tour in addition to all the backstage and behind-the-scenes stuff. I'll be doing some special videos just for my fans too. There will be reward tiers for different things and free items. We might even have backstage passes and different things at the events as we travel across the country. I want to make this fun. We need FUN! At the same time, I want everyone to get some healing, encouragement, & hope. We live in the Greatest Country in the World with the greatest opportunity to succeed in our Life Dreams! We can help each other get there and change our world in the process.

Help me pray! Currently, I have one precious family who has been donating $30 per month for several years and I'm so grateful to them. Because of them, we've been able to get needed equipment and special printing done to help in the tour and events so far. I'm praying for at least 2,000 people to donate at least $5 per month or more. This will help provide a minimum foundation to help cover our main expenses as we gear up to go forward with greater momentum. We need more than that to hire some individuals to help or get some volunteers, but that will be a great start.

Will you pray that folks will see the vision and help us, and if you can, help us too? Stopping su***des and human trafficking is so dear to my heart. The other thing is getting life-changing info out there to help those who are in need and don't know where to go for help.

We also have our non-profit, GCU Events for those who want to help sponsor or advertise at the events, and for those who need tax deductions. http://www.GCUEvents.org

Our GoFundMe for one-time donations is https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-joseph-james-fight-against-su***de-human-trafficking

I am updating all of these mediums as I have the time. Thank you all for your prayers that helped me stay alive through all the medical challenges last year. I know the Lord wants me to continue to do this, otherwise He could've taken me home. So, let's do this!

My books and music are available on my https://www.Joseph-James.net website. All of this helps! Thank you.

SPECIAL EVENT UPCOMING

THE WOODLANDS, CONROE, NORTH HOUSTON, friends and networkers. I am putting together a fundraising event to help kick off our GCU Events non-profit. We need some help to put this all together. Please let me know if you can help or know of people who can. Thanks.

Through GCU Events, we are providing FREE ENTERTAINMENT EVENTS around the nation to bring help to communities through various non-profit organizations that are local as well as national. Many smaller rural communities don't have the help available as the larger cities, so we want to close that gap, especially where MENTAL HEALTH is concerned. We will be using our FAMILY FUN DAYS EVENTS to do this. We have one event scheduled for July 26th in Yoakum, Texas. AFSP - American Foundation for Su***de Prevention, wants to be a part to help set up a group in that area, locally. Find out how you can be a part of it. Right now, many smaller communities have to travel to larger cities to get help. What if it was available locally?

We are currently planning a FAMILY FUN DAYS Community Event in The Woodlands around September 2026 at the Mitchell Pavilion and Town Green Park. We have some interest in sponsors.

At the fundraising event, we are thinking about having some live music, a catered meal, some key-note speakers from some of our featured non-profits. We will be sharing info as to what we will be doing in these events and how businesses, individuals, and non-profits can be a part of this and benefit greatly as well. Help our nation and help yourself too!

I've done 59 live music shows including sharing stories on su***de prevention and trafficking here in Montgomery County in the last 3 years. I'm also a part of the Behavioral Health & Su***de Prevention Task Force: Montgomery County, with Judge Wayne Mack and company. They guys are awesome in what they're doing.

On a personal level, I've also given 5000 Lyft rides here in Montgomery County and some in Harris. Out of over 11,000 rides total in Colorado and San Antonio, too. In that, I've had over 60 folks personally tell me they were contemplating su***de. I've done a lot of counseling and encouraging. In a sense, I understand some of the heartbeat of this county and our nation. Help me help others.

There is a lot of info available, but we have to get it out to folks on a personal level. Many are out there alone and depression tries to keep them isolated. Let's be the ones who reach them in those desperate moments and save a life. Music and entertainment are great ways to do this. My music, books, and podcasts are focused on helping to do this. Others are doing this as well. Let's try to join together and multiply our outreach exponentially.

Our primary focus is on Su***de Prevention and helping folks understand what they can do to stay safe from Human Trafficking, what to watch out for, and how to get help if caught in it. We also include homelessness, food pantries, legal help, etc.

Many smaller communities think they are safer than the urban areas, but what some fail to realize is that some of their children are going to grow up, travel, vacation, or interact in some ways with these urban areas in their life. The more they know, the safer they will be.

Plus, the events are going to be a lot of fun and locals can join in with the event, showcase their talents, sell their stuff, and make new friends. Everybody wins!

I REALLY NEED SOME FOLKS to help us plan this and put it together. Please let me know if you'd like to be a part in some way, share your stuff, sponsor, etc. I've been able to do a lot by myself, but I know there are many I can help bless that help us. Thanks so much. Let me know! AMERICA DARE TO DREAM Tour! Go for your Life Dreams! We can help!

WHATCHA DOING? Series Post #4

WHAT CHANGES ARE IN STORE FOR EACH OF US THIS WINTER? EXCITING!!!

It is said that trees lose their leaves in the winter season to strengthen and grow their roots. What do we do in our winter season? How do we strengthen our foundation, our core? Perhaps we’ve been through some storms that may have partially uprooted some areas in us this year, tore at our faith. Maybe we can schedule some alone time, maybe even on a daily basis of 15 minutes here and there to get some peace, rest, and focus. I know that is my plan. My daily schedule is so jam-packed that I can’t afford a full day off, or week, but I think I can do the 15. How about you?

I was making a new ad this morning for my books and music, to let folks know that they are available, and as I finished it, I thought, “Why not share it in this series?” So, I’ve attached it. I wrote my first book in 1992 and the rest since, as the Lord instructed me to do. I don’t like to market my own stuff, but I do it because I need to pay bills and survive, too. And, by the way, it is very time-consuming.

So, if you want to read a true story of miracles, Janiece’s story is incredible and hopefully we can start the movie process soon. The movie teaser is on the website. I wrote a fiction series, starting in 2009 when we were in Dallas, and finished in 2018. Each book was strictly from visions and revelations I was seeing in the Spirit and it was so exciting, because I didn’t know what was coming next or how it was going to end. I wrote the allegory in 1992 and created an artwork shortly after. When I started driving for Lyft and folks were talking to me about su***de, I wrote the self-help book and then created a journal and podcasts for it. All this while constantly adding to my songs as the ideas came. It’s amazing what happens when we allow the Lord to work through us.

Whatever you do though, strengthen your roots when you can and perhaps help others as well. I personally love encouraging others and sometimes it’s almost addicting. If I’m feeling down when I get ready to go out and drive, I know that one or more of my riders is going to cheer me up. It never fails. Most of them are complete strangers. We have a lot to share with each other and sometimes we become friends.

TIDBIT: So, in all that’s going on, take some quality time for you. Your family and friends will love you for doing it. Laugh a little! Love a little more! Share some jokes! Share a smile with everyone you meet, even if they don’t smile back. You touched them! They just saw a glimmer of HOPE! Pray for them as you walk away! Perhaps, the fact that they were noticed in that moment will help them make it through another day! Blessings to you all.

WHATCHA DOING? Series Post #3

IS IT TIME FOR YOU?

Whatcha doing right now? Did you sleep well last night? What’s on your mind? Is the day coming at you too fast? You had plans but they changed last minute? What do you do now?

There is so much going on in our world right now and it seems that if we stop, even for a moment, we won’t be able to catch up. That’s the plan by some forces out there. Wear us down, cripple with fear, trying to get us to simply give up.

Computers have helped us to do so much more and faster than ever before! But, what’s the end game? How much do we really need to do today? What is important right now? What or who needs my attention? An answer that might surprise you, may be you! You might need some time for yourself and I’m looking closely at me too.

I’m around folks all the time. It’s now second nature for me to see someone and wonder how they are in the moment. What do I do? How can I help them put a smile on their face and heart? If we’re not careful, we can easily take the whole world on our shoulders and it’s not ours to carry. Talking to self here.

If something happens to us, who does it affect around us. When I had the two seizures, fractured vertebrae, the drug I was deadly allergic to, and the 7 hospital visits this year with the 8mm aneurysm, it affected Janiece and Daniel greatly. It traumatized them, each hospital visit. How were we going to make it through? We did! Amazingly! I’m still not sure, but I know we had lots of folks praying and it worked out. The back brace hindered me so much from doing what I thought I needed to do. This all was necessary to keep me alive going forward instead of dead. Father knew about the aneurysm and He planned the right time to take care of it. I wanted Him to just heal it, but there were others He wanted to get involved and encourage. It wasn’t all just about me.

In spite of the big concert and event I was planning in September in the Woodlands and everything being canceled, it was the right time. I can see that now. I did get to perform in November in a different event and that made me feel human again after losing three close family members this summer.

Sometimes, He’s just got a better plan in the midst of chaos, storms, and bad things that happen to us. The seizures were bad, but without them, the aneurysm wouldn’t have been discovered and fixed. I was a walking time bomb for five years. Miracles!

TIDBIT: So, today, take a look at you and just ask Him what to do. Then don’t worry or stress about anything else. If you need some help, ask. You are not superman or superwoman. If you need His supernatural energy and strength, grace, peace, hope, encouragement, love, etc., ask. His banquet table is full, take what you need everyday, all day and night.

Blessings y’all. I hope your day is super amazing and awesome. Check on someone you haven’t heard from in a while.

Here are some more pics from the AFSP Out Of The Darkness Walk for Su***de Awareness and Prevention last Saturday, Nov 9, in The Woodlands, TX. The Forecast was rain, but we all prayed and it was great. Thanks so much for your prayers.

I had some people come up to the stage to thank me for sharing some of my songs. It totally blessed me that my music touched them so deeply. Getting on that stage also helped me to feel alive again after all of the hospital visits and family losses this year. I think I'm still a bit numb inside, but getting better every day. Blessings to you all. I'm looking for more venues now that I'm on a roll...lol

Remember, "It's OK, to not be OK!" Let's break the stigma and talk to each other.

Not all people who are thinking about su***de need a doctor. Many just need a friend, a smile, a kind gesture just letting them know they are not alone and someone sees them.

I have personally found that the thing that works greatest with me is when I talk to them about their Life Dream. Some don't know what it is, but it's great to ask them what their interests are and what they would like to do. It helps get them focused on possibilities rather than impossibilities, doom, and gloom. Look up!

Last year, one local high school senior decided to change everything in her life, including ending an abusive relationship with her boyfriend. Her life turned around in a heartbeat because all she needed was to refocus. I just asked her about her dreams and told her about Psalm 139. Ask the Lord what His wonderful plan is, daily.

Sometimes Pharma and other drugs can be the cause with their side effects. Check the list of side effects on the drugs being taken. There are over 208 Pharma drugs that list side effects of su***de and depression. There are some chemicals in our foods as well. Be watchful!

Life is a battlefield. We are warriors trying to make it through each day. Let's help each other like our military does, and perhaps we can change everything! No one lost, or left behind!

Su***de is not a cowardly act! It is being in a place of no hope, no way out, and mostly demonic influence wanting us dead. We can counter that just by being close, unlocking the door, and helping them out of that dark place.

It doesn't cost anything to smile, to open a door, to greet with a kind word. We might even gain a friend. Blessings y'all!

I've got my music, books, What's Your Story podcasts, and Life Dream training course available on my website to help. Find what works for you and go for it. Joseph-James.net

Some pics from the Out Of Darkness Walk this last Saturday. It was so incredible to be able to perform again after this very traumatic year.

11/04/2024

Can really use some extra prayers for this week, especially on Saturday, November 9th. Going to be sharing some of my songs and some stories at the Out Of Darkness Walk at the American Foundation for Su***de Event in The Woodlands at Town Green Park. We need the weather to cooperate with no rain here, preferably Friday too.

Also, for me that I'll know which songs to share and stories to tell. I desperately need his anointing and direction. It's been over a year since I've performed because of all the medical stuff this year. Getting back up and out there again!

Wanting to touch folk's hearts and encourage them, while also challenging all to keep going through the tough times. Sharing some of the dangers to watch out for too in our foods, drugs, etc. Knowing the truth changes everything. We can make it when we can do it with others, not alone.

Just created a new 1/4 page flyer that we are sharing on SM and handing out for our upcoming venues around the country. They'll be available at the WALK OUT OF THE DARKNESS Event on November 9, too.

If you'd like to help us, pray, or be a part, let us know and check out the links. Changing our country! FAMILY FUN DAYS EVENTS!

Working on the new event for The Woodlands next year that I had to cancel this year because of the medical challenges. We are good to go now. Check it out and be a part. Please share this!

Thought I'd share this photo of me from the photoshoot last week to illustrate something and an announcement.

I have a focus and a direction as to where I'm going. I've had some folks come alongside me and say they've wanted to help me with the tour, the events, and the non-profit, but in reality, they wanted me to help them build their businesses so I could make a bit of money for myself to fund all of this myself and they get the big increase from my labor.

Uh, no, that's not how it works. We have a non-profit, GCU Events, in which we can receive donations from, but it's also a place where folks can advertise their businesses, goods, and/or services. Based on the advertisements, they can also advertise and/or help sponsor certain events around the USA which will be helping local communities and get their own names out there more. The main cause is helping save lives and to cancel su***de and human trafficking, plus others.

I've had a lot of folks say they were going to help me and are nowhere to be found. This is not an easy journey. It's not the norm. There are spiritual attacks. The world system wants to enslave. The Lord wants to set free.

I really hope these folks understand. It's nothing personal, but we need to do things the right way for the sake of His Kingdom. If you don't want to help, don't. No hard feelings, just don't expect to share in the rewards. The Lord is just and He does see the motives of our hearts. When we give of ourselves, our wisdom, volunteer, funds, the Lord blesses back. Choices.

We are helping folks, saving lives, changing the way folks see their world, so that we can all come together and make this country and the world a better place to live. There are many more good folks out there than bad, by a long shot. The devil isn't stronger, he doesn't have more demons than angels, (actually with a certain set he is outnumbered 2-1, as he only took a third with him,) he doesn't even have more people. All of heaven is with us and LOVE & TRUTH win! We need to all take our place and stand up! If not now, when?

If you want to be a part of what we're doing, let me know. As you can see in the image, I'm heading somewhere... I'm moving forward now that all the other stuff, (medical), is behind me. It's time to go on.

I'm planning a new event for The Woodlands for next year since the hospital stays got in the way of this year. The Mitchell Pavilion & Town Green Park!

This year's OUT OF THE DARKNESS WALK for Su***de Prevention with the AFSP is November 9, 2024 from 9am - 1pm, Veteran's Day Weekend.

There is going to be food, games, vendors, info, music, including me! I'm excited to get to be a part of this.

We need to learn what we can do for our loved ones and those around us, the signs to watch, the stigma to overcome. Sometimes just talking to those around us and acknowledging they exist stops it in its tracks. This works for me with my Lyft riders.

One other thing to let folks know is that, IT'S OKAY TO NOT BE OKAY! MoCo BHSP Motto!

There's a lot more to this so come out and join us.

I have some songs that deal with this. My YouTube channel & 37 Streaming Platforms

THE BATTLEFIELD
If we all join together and watch out for each other, we can kick a deadly blow to Su***de. It is a demonic entity/force and we are all on the battlefield of Life!

Welcome to the AFSP Southeast Texas Chapter! Our chapter covers 33 counties in Southeast Texas.
