Hey there Whirlwind Fans!
Here’s another for the Music Gallery:
I threw a little Chaos over “The Valley”.
Hope you enjoy this song given as part of a prophecy which did come to pass just as spoken and written.
The peace and love of God be with you.

Yes, a song of encouragement for these troubled times.
But more than that… “Hold On” offers a voice that we might cry out!
Some things we just need to say; and say it out loud, before we can let go and move on.
What is “IT”?
That’s for you to decide.
Because “IT,” today, may not be “IT,” for tomorrow. Today it is possibly COVID-19 and no job or not enough money because your business is falling apart.
Tomorrow, “IT” could be a lack of feeling right with your Creator.
A few tomorrows from now it may be a society gone mad WITH the Mark of the Beast literally manifesting in OUR world.
With Christians IGNORING God’s Word and no longer able to live in their cities and homes and general communities.
So whether your “IT” is your walk with God or more mundane issues…
“HOLD ON,” because God has your back as His servant, the Servants of the Living God, Jesus Christ, our Savior.

As simple and bee-boppie as this song tends to be… I thought “Salvation Bound” would only appeal to children. Gratefully, I was wrong.
One of the coolest things I like about the song “Salvation Bound” is the fact “Salvation Bound” is loved by children around the world.
Try it! Put this song on and watch your little ones dance across the room.
Add to this fun fact, I have also received no less than six testimonials detailing how some people’s children refuse to go to sleep until they listen to “Salvation Bound” JUST one more time (Mommy and Daddy).
Oh yeah, and my wife, Pam, is singing on this, our first CD and title song, too.
And I can’t forget the sweet natured vocalist, Cindy Aquilino, from Tucson, Arizona.
We hope “Salvation Bound” brings as much joy to your life and the lives of your children as it has to us and our children.
Enjoy and sing along!

Level 2 Memory Verse:
Even when God has shined a great Light into your life and you have lived your life faithfully for Jesus… sadly, you cannot hand that relationship or faithfulness or salvation to another person.
We can bring them to the River-of-Life – But they must drink for themselves.
It is God who calls us. (John 15:16; Acts 2:39)
Individually we must answer.
Blessed be the name of the Lord, Jesus Christ!
“You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you (John 15:16).

Sometimes life falls apart around us.
It’s good to know God has your back!
We don’t often know what God is doing –
or where He is taking us,
but we know we can trust Him.

I will never forget the day I wrote this song. What a joy of joys filled my soul.
Should I pray you feel that touch from God at only half the strength I experienced His touch…
Then you will remember the love of the Lord brushing your soul.
Be blessed! Enjoy! Rejoice in the love of your Savior with me.

Happiness is a walk with our Creator
WHEN we know we are in the center of His will.
No better place to be.

What a privilege to have this piece of music.
The photo above is of my mother as she sat recording that fine day (she liked to be called Patsy or Patsy Lou by friends).
I remember working with my mother on “Garden of Roses” in our recording studio that fine September morning. My mom was 75 years young and she just loved recording this song with me.
We recorded a few songs over a couple of hours and as you can tell from the music, she was in fine form.
As I sat here this morning – listening to this recording with her playing (for she went to be with Jesus, family and friends on November 21st 2019) tears filled my eyes for remembering the joy and pleasure we shared that day and many days.
Wish I had more of my songs recorded with her.
Hindsight 20-20, right?
I Love and miss you mom.
At least now, you really are singing and sharing in that “Garden of Roses” with our Lord.
Hope you enjoy this rendition of “Garden of Roses”.

God is Great!, Hearing God's Voice, Love, Prophecy, Steven R. Harrel for This Side of the Whirlwind
Hi Whirlwind Fans.
By the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established (2 Corinthians 13:1).
February 9th 2020, as I was playing my guitar and worshiping the Lord I received this Word, “I am opening doors for you.” This Word from the Lord was followed by a vision where I was playing at Reid Park, in Tucson, Arizona. I was set up somewhere near the Southwest section of the park just off the corner of 22nd St. and Country Club Rd. In the vision I was sitting at the side of a Ramada simply playing Worship and Praise music. A short distance away was a sign on a post which read: Come and Worship the Lord with Steve Harrel.
Now for anyone who has read our “True-Life series #5-#7” you’ll understand the significance of that phrase, “I am opening doors for you”. I had not heard a single whisper from the Lord which included “open doors for you; or eyes that many may see; or ears that many may hear” since that mountaintop experience on the Mogollon Rim of the White Mountains, Arizona.
