Cindy O’Neil - A Voice for His Kingdom
I'm thrilled to introduce Cindy O'Neil, a woman whose voice and spirit bring a powerful resonance to my next track, “Promise God Made to Abraham (Galatians 4:17-23).” Cindy's contribution to this scripture song is a beautiful reflection of her journey with God, and I can't wait for you to experience it.
Cindy's story begins in a home where God's name was spoken more as a warning than a comfort. Growing up, she recalls a childhood tinged with a vague fear of Him—whispered threats of divine punishment rather than any sense of love or relationship. A brief stint in Sunday school as a young girl offered little clarity; she didn't know Him, and the lack of His presence left a void that shaped her early choices.
After high school, Cindy drifted through retail jobs and office work while chasing a dream in the arts. By the early '90s, music became her focus—songwriting, recording, and performing live. But in July 1999, her health took a sharp turn, bringing pain and physical challenges that tested her resolve. By October 2001, a diagnosis of severe systemic Rheumatoid Arthritis brought everything to a halt.
Yet through it all, unbeknownst to her, God was in pursuit. For years, Cindy admits, she had her back turned to Him—lost in pride and ignorance, avoiding the purpose He had for her. Her efforts to build a life on her own terms left her with a quiet hopelessness that seeped into everything.
Then, in 2015, a shift began. She started whispering, “God speak to me, I'm listening.” At first, His voice was faint, but the more she sought Him, the clearer it became. Good things unfolded, then wonderful things, as hopelessness gave way to promise.
By 2018, she found herself marvelling at His presence in her life. One night, while praying in bed, she felt Jesus fill the room—not visually, but with a weight of joy, love, and power so tangible she surrendered everything to Him in an instant.
That surrender changed all. Cindy describes the freedom she's found in Jesus as something the world could never offer. Through every trial—health struggles, daily challenges—He's been with her, bringing peace and progress as she's learned to trust Him.
She's discovered the power of her words: a simple “Help me Jesus” invites His aid without fail, while worldly reactions dim His work in her life. Psalm 107:20 has become her anchor: “He sent His Word and healed me, and delivered me from my destructions.” It's a truth she carries into every note she sings and every conversation she shares.
In 2021, a desire to proclaim God's greatness took root in Cindy's heart, blossoming into what she now calls Kingdom Vocal Vibes (KVV). After gentle nudges from God, she said “yes” to this calling, launching KVV on April 19, 2023. This podcast and online community is a celebration of an up-close, personal relationship with God, featuring episodes where Cindy talks with people from around the world about how He moves in their lives—real time, real life.
It's a platform where God's love, His work through people, and His invitation to conversation shine through original, Bible-based content. KVV uplifts and challenges listeners, offering something relevant every day because, as Cindy puts it, “God knows what we face.
I'm honoured to have Cindy lend her voice to “Promise God Made to Abraham,” a scripture song set directly to the words of Galatians 4:17-23. Her journey—from a place of fear and distance to one of surrender and purpose—infuses this track with a depth that only a hard-won faith can bring. Her work with Kingdom Vocal Vibes is a testament to her mission, and you can explore it further on Patreon at patreon.com/KingdomVocalVibes.
I'm so excited to share this track with you—stay tuned for something truly special!
