In layman's terms, a blood vessel bursted at the stem of his brain, thus flooding his brain with blood killing numerous brain cells. He slipped into a COMA soon after the stroke. He spent several days in the Intensive Care Unit on Life support with a Trac and Feeding tube in his stomach. This traumatic brain injury (tbi) left him temporarily paralysed on the right side. Through much rehab, therapy, following a strict regiment under five different specialists in the medical field and a lot of prayer Joe was brought back from the brink of death. Joe is etrnally grateful to his Wife, Terri and children, Joseph, and Mariah, my family members, Rev. Stroman and the Christian Hope family, Bishop David Coeland-Pastor "C" and the New Creation family, Dr. Ed Montgomery-First Lady Minister Saundra, Mark & Lenora Taylor and the Abundant Life family, and all his musician friends and friends that prayed for me and gave of their time, talent, and treasure!!!JOIN HIM AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE WITH FOLLOWING CONFESSION:This is the day that the Lord has made, and I will rejoice and be glad in it. Father thank you for this day , for your Word, and for your precious Holy Spirit. You are my Father, and I am your son, therefore I come before you boldly and confidently, knowing that you are not a man that you should lie and that you watch over Your Word, to perform it. Your promises never comeback empty handed- they always complete the assignment that you give them. Therefore Father, I bring before you my concerns, dreams, and desires, knowing that You care for me. Today Father, I confidently claim the victory that Jesus won at Calvary when He disarmed the principalities and powers that were waged against me, and I confess that I am redeemed from the curse of the law- redeemed from every sickness, disease, malady, affliction, defect, deficiency, deformity, injury, and every demon. I speak restoration to every damage brain cell and I speak life and activaion of dormant brain cells. Father I thank You that my gift makes room for me, brings me before great men, opens doors, grants me access to important people, and gets the attention of distinguished and renown people who are moved to use their power, their ability, their influence, and their wealth to help me. I thank You Father that You restore my soul, renew my strength, guide me along the right path, send me in the right direction, and refresh and renew my life for your name sake. I thank You Father that You have visited me with your favor, restored me, and brought me back to the place where I belong as a skilled minstrel. Your hand is mighty upon me and I am anointed to play skillfully as I minister in music. I thank You Father that as for me, you have come with healing, curing the incurable, restoring and giving me back my health, and that my wounds are healed. You have sent Your Word, Jesus, and healed all manner of sickness, deformity, and disease because I am valuable to You. Therefore, just as Jesus healed the man with the withered hand, I thank you that same anointing is available to and for me, therefore my hand is completely and fully restored, just like the other one. Because You spoke the word that healed me and brought me back from the brink of death, I thank you for Your marvelous love. And by my faith I declare that my body is healed and restored in Jesus' Name. I Love You Father. BY PASTOR CHARLES PERRY..
