Prince Rogers Nelson… Where do I begin??? You know…it’s very, very, veeerrrry hard even trying to write this. (&… “trying” is the operative term) I’ve known about the spirit we call “Prince” since I was a teenager. I was in high school when his stardom was rising on such a fast…&…vast level. First impression??? I loved this being who dressed & looked different than any Black man I had ever seen on tv. It seemed a little crazy. Let me explain… O.k. First, I had never seen a Black man wear so much make-up…wear high heels…& dress in such vibrant colors…as Prince. Now…don’t misunderstand. Sure, I had seen people like Little Richard but…it was not the same. I found Prince to be both very masculine &… very feminine at the same time. But…not in a way that put me off. Not at all. And…back then…in the Black community that ‘coulda’…& normally…’woulda’ been something that put a lot of us off. By “put-off” I mean that people tend to distance themselves from something…or…someone that’s like… an Enigma. Hard to place….hard to pin down…hard to describe. I think you understand. But, you see…with Prince… it was different. And…
What made him different…is also what made him so beautiful. He was a spirit that wasn’t bound by convention…by the norm…by what “people” may have expected him to be &…look like. No. He had the courage…& the boldness of spirit…to carry it in a way that suited him. They say the eyes are the “seat to the soul.” And…I know this to be true. If you exercise the gift of “knowing”…you can look into the eyes of a spirit & see what lies behind those walls. Truly. God will allow you to see into the soul of that person… “the good…the bad…& the ugly.” And…it can’t be hidden. So…what was revealed in the eyes of “Prince?” When I looked at Prince…I saw “pure light of God” emanating from that spirit. Meaning? I knew he was a “child of God.” I knew that God had sent him from Heaven as a “beacon of light” to shine ever so brightly in this very dark world. Now…don’t misunderstand…
I am not saying that Prince did everything that the Father wanted him to. I am not saying that everything he did…or didn’t do…pleased the Father. That’s not the issue. No. What I’m saying is this… Prince was created by God…& for the purpose of serving God’s will on this earth. While God creates everyone…everyone is not his child. But…without a doubt…I know that Prince was my Heavenly Father’s son. Many…many….many speak about the humble spirit…the unselfishness…& the respectful manner in which Prince treated others. This is no surprise to me. Why would it be? That’s how Jesus carried it. Right??? You could see the God & hear the God…within Prince, if you ever watched him sing certain songs. You weren’t just moved by this being. No. You were bulldozed over by the experience. But, not in a way that hurt you. No. No. But…in a way that was other worldly & absolutely breathtaking. You knew you had just witnessed & experienced something & someone very…very…veeerrry special. Now…
This ability that Prince had to do this…was not natural. How could it be? You don’t experience this type of interaction with 99% of the people you deal with on a daily basis. Think about it. This ability…came straight from God. This ability, running through Prince, was the power of God. Plain & Simple. God made this man in his image…& you could see it. If Prince had walked this earth, at the time that Jesus was a man, I could easily see Jesus picking him as one of his disciples. Prince was hard-wired…by God. His gifts to play all those instruments…to write beautiful songs so prolifically…to sing with such passion & power…are gifts given to him by his Father. Why?
God put Prince on this earth to serve his purposes. He created Prince the way He did so we “would be” bulldozed over & inspired by this being. He wanted Prince to bring people into his Kingdom. It’s not coincidental that his mother named him “Prince.” He was a princely son of God…put down on this earth. You don’t run into beings like that on the regular. And…you won’t. These beings are very rare. And…this is why so many people…in so many places…have been simply devastated just by the “thought”…of him not being with us in the flesh. And…it is devastating. There are not many people who walk this earth…with the brightness of light that was contained within “Prince.” I must tell the truth & shame the devil. Many might think they do…but…they are very mistaken. God…has an elect group that He has created with that degree of light within them. A very small…elect group. Now…
If the world was not the way that it is…it could be a little easier (not much though) to deal with a loss like Prince. We live in a very dark, dark world & when a light goes out…it gets even darker. This is a very tough place to exist in…to say the least. And…I understand this. Believe me. So… when we see a light existing like Prince…we want to see that light shine on earth forever. We just do. It is heart-wrenching & heart-breaking to know that we can no longer see…touch & experience that being the way that we use to. We can’t go to a concert & experience the light of Prince. We can’t turn on the tv & catch him being interviewed by Tavis Smiley. No…we can’t. But…
All is not lost. Not at all. Not in the least. Why? Because remember what I told you earlier. Every good thing about Prince came from God. Let me say it again…& I want you to listen. Please… Hear me children of God! God is not a man who dies & has not risen. God is and always will be. PRAISE GOD! It is the God, that was within Prince, that we were attracted to. Whether you realized it or not. I’m telling you the truth. And…Guess What? You can experience the light of God anytime you want. How? By going to him & creating a relationship with him. By going to him…even in your grief…& building a stronger relationship with him. And… If you thought experiencing the light within Prince was something…you haven’t seen nothing. God’s light is infinite & so abundant I can’t even put it into words. If you thought Prince was something to behold & experience…the wonderment of God will literally knock you off your feet. I kid you not. I remember, an occasion, that his literal presence in my home made me feel like a million electrical volts were running through my body. I’m telling you the truth. I was so awe struck…& scared to death…that I started to run outside with no shoes on… in my pajamas. And…it was cold as hell outside. I thought my body was literally going to explode. It was as if I could feel every…single…molecule…within me…jumping around. But…Guess What??? At the same time…the feeling was extraordinarily wonderful. And…these words I’m using…can’t even really touch what I experienced. So…
What I’m saying is this? Mourn Prince. It let’s the Father know that you appreciated his “work of art”… who we called Prince. But, know this…there has been no greater being that walked this earth…than, Jesus. There is no more beautiful being that has ever walked this earth as man…than, Jesus. And…know that JESUS LIVES!!! Now & Forever. PRAISE GOD! Ask him & He will come to you. He will talk to you. You can see him in all of his beauty & magnificence. And…no man, living or dead, can or will ever match the internal or external beauty of Jesus. His is a trillion times… a trillion… greater. And…that still does not capture it. Know this…& have peace in your spirit. A many a time…I tell my Father, “I would truly die with the lost of all hope, but for the fact…I know you &…I know how real you are.”
May God Bless You & Keep You…& Make His Face To Shine Upon.
With Love & Sympathy,
