Prayer is NOT enough.

Prayer is both valuable and necessary but we also need to do something practical that the Lord can bless and use for the sake of others to grow in His kingdom. 
 

When Jehoshaphat was surrounded by a great army from Moab, Ammon and Mt Seir he enquired of the Lord and prayed publicly to the Lord, when the prophet gave him God’s word, This is what the Lord says to you: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s. 16Tomorrow march down against them.  …  Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the Lord will be with you. 
After consulting the people, Jehoshaphat appointed men to sing to the Lord and to praise him for the splendor of his c holiness as they went out at the head of the army, saying:

“Give thanks to the Lord,

for his love endures forever.”

22As they began to sing and praise, the Lord set ambushes against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated. Read the whole story in 2 Chronicles 20

I want you to note:-

  • They prayed.
  • They had a direct word from God.
  • They consulted the people. They had a strategy.
  • They put the singers and musicians in front of the army.
  • The enemy destroyed themselves.
  • Jeshoshaphat didn’t even have to fight, but they did have to work, it took 3 days to carry off the plunder. 

Think about Joshua walking around the walls of Jericho, they heard from God, they had a strategy, they had to do something, but then the walls came down without any battering ram or artillery, still the Israelites had to go in and fight and take possession of the city.


There are too many Christians today playing around with prayer and not hearing from God, getting a strategy, doing the work or getting into the fight. 
If you pray first, seek His will and guidance then when He gives you a strategy, go out and fight. God will give you the victory, stop waiting for some giant blessing of money, land, buildings, or other resources to drop on you without exercising a God given strategy.

 

Maybe it could be start a business, visit a certain place, make a gift to someone, do some physical work, God honours faith that has legs, make sure you do what He instructs because the danger is thinking that your works may get your blessing, no, it is doing His work, as instructed by Him, that’s gets His blessing.

Chicago's very own “ Brandon James" is ready for success, and he wants you to know it. The r&b/soul singer is creating a strong buzz with the upcoming release of his single "So Emotional." "So Emotional,"  is scheduled for release on April 26th, 2019 and is the first single off the upcoming E.P scheduled for release this fall. 

 Chicago native Brandon James was born "Brandon James Foster". He states that he "started doing music as an outlet for depression early in life. I wasn't very popular in school and I was considered a latchkey kid due to my mother's work schedule and my father's battles with alcoholism." On a teacher's suggestion to find extracurricular activities, Brandon joined the choir. He finished the eighth grade with a determination to elevate his understanding of music and succeed with his own music. Constantly challenging himself to become better at his craft, he has taken voice lessons from Bobby Wilsyn, Ars Musica, and Andrew Schultze. He has played with Earth, Wind & Fire and performed at some of Chicago’s most notable venues including the UIC Pavilion and the House of Blues. Brandon has also earned a degree in music performance and business from the Columbia College of Chicago. Forever seeking to share his story and testimony, Brandon seeks to inspire, touch hearts and provoke thought with his music.

Applications

Monitoring the Quality of CAR-T Production during the whole Process

The immuno therapy, such as CAR-T involves the collection of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from the patient, then enrichment of the desired T cell subset followed by genetic modification to create engineered CAR-T cells. The CAR-T cells are expanded in large-scale and then infused back into the patient. With the Countstar S2 system it is possible to continuously monitor the viability and concentration every step of the entire process of manufacturing CAR-T cells under GMP.

 

Dual-Fluorescence Viability

Acridine orange (AO) and Propidium iodide (PI) are nuclear nucleic acid binding dyes. AO can penetrate to both dead and live cells and stains the nucleated cells to generate green fluorescence. PI can stain the dead nucleated cells with compromised membranes and generate red fluorescence. The analysis excludes cell fragments, debris and artifacts particles as well as undersized events such as platelets, giving a highly accurate result. In conclusion, the Countstar S2 system can be used for every step of the cell manufacturing process.

 

GFP Transfection Efficiency

In cell and molecular biology, the GFP gene is frequently used as a reporter of expression. Currently, scientists are commonly using the fluorescent microscopes or flow cytometers to analyze the transfection efficiency of mammalian cells. But Flow cytometer requires a high-qualified and experienced operator. While Countstar FL enables users to get the result of a transfection efficiency assay quickly and accurately.

Trypan blue viability and concentration

Trypan blue viability and concentration assay also can be available on Countstar S2. Shown here, are the enlarged representative images of cell line. Since all of the cells were stained with trypan blue, we show the stained trypan blue image as well as the Countstar S2 counted image.

1. Where are we talking from today?

A. I currently live in Jamaica Queens.

2. What would you like to accomplish in 2019?

A. I will like to connect with a team and label that gets my sound and art. Begin my album,
release it by November and Start touring by the beginning of 2020. You got to be
specific and set your goals and intentions. That’s my philosophy in 2019.

3. What is your take on politics?

A. I always remember what my 8th grade history teacher said, “You picking the lesser of
two evils.” For example, in the last election, who you rather Hillary who has hot sauce in her
bag and can’t email properly or Donald J. Trump who’s grabbing women by their
genitals and making America great again on Twitter(wink wink). I think politics are great
but I leave that to your own personal preference. Freedom and equality is what I stand for no matter the race, color, religion, etc.

4. Where did you get your artist name from?

A. My full name is Lawrence Artis, Jr. My friend who was smoking the green earth as we
were chilling says, “You should make your stage name Law...it’s the Law now drop it!” I
went with it and it stuck. It’s basically a shorter version of my birth name.

5. Growing up, how important has music been in your life? Can you recall the moment
when you decided that you wanted to be a musician? Was it an easy or difficult choice to make?

A. Music was my everything! I wanted to sing like my Grandparents who are both very
good singer. R.I.P. Pop-Pop. I knew I wanted to be a musician when I wrote my first
song at 10 years old. My cousin who was a wonderful vocalist, we had a childhood
group called Double L and we sang at a banquet. I remember thinking I want this to be
like this for the rest of my life. It was easy until I hit 18. Everything became so much
harder. Where am I going to get the money to finance these dreams? Many people kept
telling me to find a backup plan. That’s not what God is saying in my heart. It was a struggle to find balance, and peace in this artistic journey.

6. Was there ever a time when you thought about doing something else? If you weren’t a musician today, what could you see yourself doing?

A. Are you kidding me...I’m the king of back up plans. I have been a deli worker, call
center rep, bank teller, paperboy, college student worker, and a soldier. If I wasn’t doing music today. I would continue my education and become a professor for the arts.

7. What has been the biggest surprise so far about making music your career? What has been an unexpected or welcome challenge to it all?

A. The biggest surprise is how easy it is for me to record my song and write lyrics. It’s like
breathing to me. I hadn’t been in a studio in 5 years and decided to just go for it. I had to
write the songs before the studio session. My producer Ian Litovich just went with the
flow. I don’t like to waste time. We knocked out a song a day and no more than an 8-hour
session. The hardest challenge was the visuals, writing the treatments and explaining
my vision to the directors. Sometimes people come with their own agenda and you got to give them room to express but not take over your vision.

8. What was it like putting together your EP?

A. It was so organic. I loved it! I enjoyed really digging into my creative place. I was so free
from my insecurities. I was doing ME and that felt good. Talking about things that
people don’t always sing about and not caring. That’s revolutionary for me!

9. Who are some of your favorite artists or rather, what musicians have continued to
inspire you and your music? Who would you absolutely still love to work within  ?

A. Favorite Artist are Janet Jackson, Lady Gaga, Brandy, Babyface, Toni
Braxton...(basically anybody in the ’90s) Artist that inspire me is different, these artists I
can see myself in their reflection: Kelis, Pink, Lenny Kravitz, Bill Withers, Bjork, Grace
Jones, and Macy Gray. I would love to work with my Cancer sis Solange, Dawn Richard and Lion’s Babe.

10. What has it been like keeping up with your social media accounts and all of the
different platforms? Is it hard to stay up to date on it all? What would you say is your favorite way to connect with your fans now?

A. I’m a private person and will always be. I’m only on Twitter and YouTube It keeps me
sane and focused on my mission in life. I like to keep my peace and my humans(my
fans) know me and I speak with a purpose or there is no reason to speak at all.

11. If you were going to be stranded on a deserted island, what musical item would you take with you and why?

A. I would take a recorder and a pencil and paper. I’m about to write one of the dopest album on this island. Law Artis: The lost files...I’m already marketing it. lol

12. If your music was going to be featured on any TV show that is currently on right
now, which would you love it to be on? Or if you prefer, what is a movie that you love
that you wish your music was featured in?

A. This current EP, I would say Grey’s Anatomy because this music is full of mood, love,and drama. That’s definitely the Grey’s Anatomy series.

13. At the end of the day, what do you hope people take away from your music?

A. I hope people will become more transparent in themselves. Live in their truth with no
apologies. Just know you are not alone, we all got stuff, but it’s how you take that stuff and make it gold. It’s your life...do what you will :-)

14. When you are not making music what else do you enjoy to do?

A. Acting, Dancing, and watching art and tennis. I see a concert and a Broadway show once a month. I’m at a movie once a week.

15. Where you @ online?
