    I attended the sermon on 6/2 and it was my first time in a church since the last time I got saved which was 2017. The chains most certainly fell off of me. I cried so much but healed so much and I am so appreciative of my brother for inviting me to this sermon. I look forward to becoming an official member of the ministry and get baptized again in August. I have always been a fan of your music but God knew I needed your words as I overcome the current chapter in my life. Thank you thank you thank you. To God be the Glory.

    I needed this so badly this morning. The enemy has been busy, but I declare God's peace. I will not let him cause me to step out of my character. God will fight my battles. he will not use my children against me. I claim them, God gave them to me, and I give them back to God and HIS protection before I let the enemy have them and destroy them. I have more authority and power than the enemy, I will stay on my knees day and night. I have victory in Jesus, Amen.

    My struggle is not knowing my assignment. God has blessed me in every area of my life, education, promotions at nearly every job, finances, etc, but i still feel like something is missing and im not walking in my purpose. I pray about it. God has not yet revealed it to me. So, currently, im doing the homework until He speaks.

    I'm not Educated by man's teaching.. But I am educated by the Holy Spirit and the word of the Bible.. That the Holy Spirit Put in my heart and time of need.. He reminds me what God says what God does what God Will is.. And his purpose.. For the test of my faith. It's like a bank deposit.. If you don't deposit anything in it.. The Holy Spirit has nothing to draw Out of.. Within me. Thank you Holy Spirit will be my counselor and my teacher and not leaving me Ignorant
