About Me

Grace and peace be unto you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ! Welcome to the official myspace interactive site of Minister CJ Rhodes! A minister of the Gospel since 2000, I am presently matriculating from Duke Divinity School, where I am a Master's of Divinity candidate. I strongly sense God doing something new in the earth and this generation is apart of this new thing! I'm mad blessed to be a part of the movement and am humbled to be counted among those who represent of the Kingdom of God.As the visionary of New Creation Ministries, a transdenominational movement of Spirit, I feel called to minister holistically to a fragmented people by facilitating the expansion of human consciousness and emotional/spiritual intelligence. We must not only preach soul salvation, but also social liberation, so that every human being can live the zoe (abundant) life promised by the Christ, and move beyond preaching mere religion to prophesying that a "new creation" has come in the power and person of Jesus of Nazareth. By proclaiming the Good News and speaking truth to power in love, we who are disciples of the Kingdom can turn this world upside down. Get ready for the revolution!Peace and power! This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? using original artwork by Marah Johnson. Go get one!
