I’m going to tell you a story about how this album came to be. There’s an important principle to be learned. And it plays into what we now see, blanketing the earth.
If you don’t know of He Hears Me , it’s available on spotify and iTunes and all other streaming services. On with the story :-
By the time 1997 had rolled around I had returned home to the Northern Beaches of Sydney Australia from NYC where I’d been living for 3 years. I’d been working as a jazz musician and a session singer up in Harlem. Not bad for a little white girl from Australia.
For a musician who’d been involved in so many other recording projects , original albums of other artists, I had never had my own release. It was important to me that my 1st record spoke of my faith. I’d written a bunch of songs that I wanted to record . I signed a deal with a label in Australia and together with Kevin Hunt went into the studio. The traditional songs were re-worked in a Jazz style to give them new life . The original material was straight from the heart. Very passionate , no holding back, lyrics and performance.
At the time I was going to a big pentecostal church, with a big time well known senior pastor and teaching at their creative arts school. It was standard practise that anyone on the payroll who wanted to do something outside, ‘the movement’ had to ask permission. Now , I had never heard of such a thing. I’d never been under that kind of controlling nonsense. And it didn’t sit well with me.
Still , I wanted to do the right thing and as an act of faith and submission to God , not a man , I decided I would ask permission to release this album that was already in the can ( finished ready for pressing ) . Original artwork : Photography Ken Duncan


I booked a meeting with the senior pastor, still thinking to myself , ‘if he says no, I’m still gonna find a way to release this work ” . But as I was getting ready , doing my hair & makeup in the mirror, I was praying and I finally let go for real, I said, ” OK God. If he says no, I’ll take that as your answer,’ . It was an act of faith, of submission, of surrender. This was not my usual M.O. You might think , well that’s nuts Deb , why would you even think such a thing’? Understand that this was the way things were done in those days and it wasn’t as tho’ I had a husband who could have stood up for me. I was quite vulnerable as a single woman in the church . AUTHOR’S NOTE : single women are still very vulnerable in the church. Sadly.
On with the story: As I said those words, a veil of softness came over my face. Visible. Surrender & submission in faith, had this tangible effect on my countenance. I am NOT advocating that women should do this to some ‘senior pastor’ or any leader in the church or anywhere. God ? yes. Your husband ? yes. Anyone else? No.
And then the strangest thing occurred ; I heard plain as day in my spirit God say , ” Y’know why the devil is so successful” ? Because he practises my principles “. And with that I was in shock.
I had experienced first hand a lesson in immutable spiritual law. I went to the pastor , asked permission & he said yes. He didn’t seem overly interested in the album at all . That was until I told him about the conversation I’d had with God on my way to the meeting. As soon as I began to talk about that , his ears pricked up & he lent right in . He knew , as did I , that I’d been given a supernatural download on how to actuate success on this earth . Then he said, “You’ve really touched God’s heart. I don’t know how or why but you have some kind of extraordinary communication”.
Bob Dylan said it well : ‘You’re gonna have to serve somebody . It may be the devil or it may be The Lord but ya gonna have to serve somebody”.

Thing is, anyone, any entity can leverage or use to their advantage , the laws God has put in place to govern the natural and spiritual world. Surrender to win is a law. Submission to power is a law. God will honour those who honour Him. Satan/Lucifer/the devil/evil/your adversary, uses spiritual law to his advantage . He knows if you chose by your own free will to dishonour God’s precepts and laws that he has a legal right to mess with you. You’re gonna have to serve somebody. And you will. One way or another we are a slave to whatever has mastered us.
I look at what is happening around the earth today . It is a demonic mess. 10 year old boys are being led into operating theatres and by law, without their parents consent , ( & sadly sometimes with their parent’s consent ) are having their penises cut off. 14 and 15 year old girls are having their breasts removed. CHILDREN. If you can not see that evil is running a muck , then I ask you to take a closer look. You might think , well that’s happening in the USA and its rare. No , It’s happening in Europe and Australia and New Zealand and it’s not rare. Gender ideology and the teaching of it , is common place. Accepted as right , not wrong. Children are being given puberty blockers , drugs used to chemically castrate sex offenders. And then they are being led down a pathway of mutilation and into being a permanent patient needing medical care and drugs for the rest of their lives, which will probably be shortened by that trauma. They are now sterile. And drugged up . And sex organs removed. And in mental and emotional anguish .What is going on?
Parents are being shamed into letting their children do this. They’re being told – “If you don’t let them figure out for themselves whether they’re a boy or a girl and go ahead with this treatment they will suicide” . Sheesh. Apart from manipulative BS can you imagine the grief & the trauma this is for everyone concerned . Accept the surgeons apparently and the sex educators . Jump online and listen to the stories of people detransitioning , families ripped apart, lives ruined , and detransitioners suiciding. It is straight from the pit of hell. Make no mistake , you do have a very powerful enemy. You also have a more powerful advocate. Who is that ?
This is just one of the game plays evil is up to right now. But it is one that grieves me greatly. Children – barely lifted their head out the gate. It sickens me. I won’t get into the others here.
I say all that to say this:- Do not be afraid to stand up for what is right. Do not be bullied into agreeing with gender ideology or anything else that dishonours God. It’s now or never. Hate me , cancel me , laugh at me or unfollow me , I could care less. The day I decide to stop advocating for CHILDREN is the day I have lost all moral authority to speak out on anything. If you have read this far I thank you for your interest , patience and courage. Leave a comment or reach out to me privately if you like.
There are spiritual laws being inacted for sick, evil & nefarious purposes on this earth . And I cannot sit silently by. Regardless of the consequences. So I ask the question & I invite you to ask it also :- Who am I, what do I stand for and what am I doing with this one glorious life God has given me? We don’t have to have 500k followers on social media to make a difference . We can be the one person in a community who says to a heartbroken family – “I’ll stand with you and fight this thing. I will publicly say – this is wrong. This is not right” .
The endgame has begun . Which side of the line are you on?
