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.
