Laying Hands On Baldwin IV

about

Hello everyone, I hope that you’re all doing great!

I’m grateful to share with you a new piece of music called « Laying Hands on Baldwin IV ».

This composition is one of the most important I have ever worked on. Especially in the metaphysical realm. I recently discovered the story of a King whose name was Baldwin IV. He was a franc and was the King of Jerusalem during 1174 to 1185 AD. He was, during all of his life, a leper and died at the age of 24. He saved multiple times his kingdom, was a mighty warrior and did his best to keep peace with the Muslim world during his life. You might have known him artistically in the movie « Kingdom of Heaven, (Especially The Director’s cut Version) ».

Only few times in my life, my heart got broke like this. Once after reading the Gospels and watching the Passion of Christ. (I needed to take a decision after that). Second, in reading the story of Saül and King David, in the two books of Samuel from the Bible. Third after reading the Little Prince. Fourth Baldwin IV. I needed to take a decision after this too.&&

Before to go further, I put a simple disclaimer here. While I will share my view as a Biblical Christian, this description — as well as all the music shared with you all — is for everyone (atheist, agnostics, polytheists, jews, muslims etc). I love you all the same, and respect you all the same. I don’t make any distinction of any kind when I’m sharing my personal views, I’m simply being transparent. And I will never force my belief upon everyone. I apologies for the long text! It will be mostly focused on Scriptures.

Note : For those who wonder what Biblical-Christianity is: It is trusting only the Bible in matter of Faith, and not anything else. For example the Catholic Church trusts the Bible + traditions of man. Orthodox the same, Bible + tradition. For instance, there is no clergy, pope, prayers to the saints, prayers to Mary, purgatory in the Bible. However, again — to clarify— I consider all Christians from all over the world as my brethren in faith, whatever the denominations, I love them all the same. King Baldwin IV, was a catholic.

To go back to what I have said above, I needed to take a decision after encountering the life of Baldwin IV. The decision to make sicks persons a priority in my life — as Jesus Christ taught — In accordance to my own humble capacities as a human. In more details, to pray for them until they are perfectly healed — whatever the disease. It is called « To Lay Hands on the Sicks ». (Book of Mark Chapter 16, verse 18).

If you ever read the New Testament, you will notice that Jesus’s life was concentrated on healing the sick, casting out demons, proclaiming the forgiveness of sins and repentance. He never stopped doing that. When He offered His life as a penal substitute for the sins of mankind, and Resurrected, He commanded the ones who wanted to follow Him to do exactly like he did (To proclaim the forgiveness of sins, repentance, to heal the sick etc). Here are some Biblical references in case you want to read :

1: Book of Matthew, chapter 10, verse 8.
2: Book of Mark, chapter 16 verse 17-18.
3: Book of John, chapter 14 verse 12.
4: Book of Revelation, chapter 2, verse 26.
5: First letter to the Corinthians, chapter 12, verse 9.
6: Book of Luke, chapter 6, verse 40.
7: Book of Matthew, chapter 17, verse 14. to 20.
8: First letter to the Corinthians, chapter 14, verse 1. verse 12.

To clarify the context :

When one repented from his sins, (meaning to be convicted in his/her heart of being morally guilty before a Perfect, Good and Holy God) and accepted that Christ took the punishment he or she deserved — by offering his life at the Cross — the person will receive perfect forgiveness and perfect Salvation.
