    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.

    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 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.
