About Me

While I was smoking a blunt making booty shaken tracks, the Spirit of the Lord spoke to me. He said that He was going to use me to reach people through music. He said I would go to prisons, schools, hoods and be on the radio and t.v.Then He gave me the name 'Purposeâ€™. Of course I thought I was tripping because of the blunt, I even laughed about it. God saw something in me I didn't see. All I saw was a weed smoking, foul mouth, flesh lusting, Sunday Christian. As time progressed, I realized I was playing church. I saw a lot of people faking it and I didn't want to be that way. I began to seek Jesus in a real way even though I was still smoking etc. I truly confessed my sins and ask Jesus to help me get right. It was a struggle but I continued to fight even if people doubted or called me a fake Christian. God knew in my heart I was real with it. One night I was going through something and I was trying to handle it the right way, but I didn't. I believe this is when I began to feel conviction because it hurt my spirit. So I ask for forgiveness and said "Lord it ainâ€™t easy walking like Jesusâ€, then in my spirit I heard "put ya holy shoes on". God had given me my first song 'Holy Shoes'. After an evening service, I exposed a secret to my wife I was keeping cause the Word convicted me. I felt in my spirit God was telling me to tell her. I told her I had herpes and she thought I was lying until I showed her.(I had an outbreak at the time) She tripped how I hid it for a couple years but I had my ways, plus I had my own place in the beginning.(God protected my wife and kids from it) That same night the Holy Spirit fell upon me and healed my disease. I fell to my knees and began to cry and I remember I kept repeating â€œYes I believeâ€. God confirmed the purpose He called me to do. After all the crimes and hard times God still accepted me because of His mercy and grace. He saved my life so many times in the streets. To sum it up, I've been delivered from disease, drugs, womanizing, cussing, getting drunk, lusting (sometimes my eyes wander and my thoughts slip, but I rebuke it in the name of Jesus. Just keeping it real) Iâ€™m not where I want to be yet, but Iâ€™m not where I use to be. Several of God's prophetic words have come to pass. Iâ€™ve been to the prisons, schools, projects, radio and TV. He said a lot more but I won't tell it all like Joseph because their are a lot of haters out there. Thereâ€™s a lot of Purposes out there but God called me by name. It's all good as long as were all doing it for God's glory. Pray for all the gospel artist because the Holy Ghost take over is going down. To all my readers if you don't know God, you need to open up your heart and ask Him to reveal Himself to you. A lot of people just wanna do their own thing and would rather be blind from the truth. For those who truly wanna get right, just ask God to forgive you for your sins and to put Jesus in your heart. Ask Him to show you His ways. He'll accept you as you are and clean you up to be pleasing in His sight. But you gotta be willing to change the way you think and not do what your flesh wants to do. It's gonna take some time but don't give up. Don't wait until your standing before God on judgement day to realize He's real. The devil wants to take as many people to hell he can. I lived a life without God so I understand why you would think He doesn't exist. People killing each other, wars, hunger, kidnap, rape, etc. That's more of a reason to have God in your life for protection. I don't ask God why good people die anymore. I had to ask myself why did He save someone like me. No one can explain what God does so don't try. Check out these scriptures and talk to God. GOD BLESS.( Deuteronomy 29:29,Psalms 139:1-24, Proverbs(all of it) Ecclesiastes7:29, Isaiah 55:8-11, John 3:16, Romans 10:9-18, Romans 12:1-2, Galatians 5:16-23, Ephesians 4:17-32, 2 Timothy 2: 19-21, Hebrews 12:3-11, 1 Peter 1:13-21, 2peter 3: 3-13, read the whole new testament and ask God to give you understanding. Remember love sums up your whole walk with God.(Matthew 22:37-40)

Sounds Like: God is faithful. No matter what we do or go through, He's still God. If people don't wanna believe or be obedient, He's still God. Giving us grace and mercy everyday. Think about it. He knows everything you say, do think,everything. But Jesus justifies us every morning we wake up asking God to give us more mercy. That's reason to wanna do the right thing. God is not a man that He would lie so He continues to give us mercy like He said He would. But He also said what you reap is what you sow. Eventually you face the consequences of your actions if you don't repent( Proverbs 28:13)(John 5:14). Yet His mercy is still there because He is still willing to forgive you. All we have to do is keep fighting. We can't justify our sins. We need to ask for forgivness and ask Jesus to help us walk right. It doesn't matter what it looks like. If we believe in our hearts He can fix us, It'll happen. We also have to be willing to sacrafice what ever hinders us, even family and friends. It's hard sometimes but their is a blessing in it. Like I said you can't worry about what it looks like now. God is so much bigger then we allow Him to be in our life. We can't just expect the good without working for it. He gave His Son Jesus to be beatin spit on and killed. Theirs nothing we can go through that will compare to His suffering. Nothing. We might feel like some things get to hard for us, but that's why we have to have faith and be patient. How can we grow strong if we don't learn how to fight through our weaknesses and our troubles. When I go through things I still sometimes have to pause for a minute and catch myself. I'm like hold up God got this .He didn't allow me to live just to have a messed up life. I take responsibilty for my own actions. God gives us a choice and if I mess up I have to deal with it . But God's mercy gets us through. Our body will lie to us and tell us we need sex,drugs,drank,pornos,even certain foods that make folks fat. Really focus and realize our flesh is our enemy and the devil knows what you like. Were born into a sinful world and he's been following us through our life to know what we like. The only reason we survive is because God protects us so we can make a choice to follow Jesus. After a while the hand of protection is removed.People end up becoming drug addicts, prostitutes,robbers,killers,gangstaz,you get the point. God allows people to have their own way of thinking if they don't wanna trust in Him. I never thought I would do the things I did in life but I wasn't follwing God so the devil was able to control my mind. Nobody in their right says they wanna be a hoe or dopeman or gangsta, come on. We got all these diseases but people still sleep around. Scientist say condoms aren't guarenteed but that doesn't stop nobody. You can't even tell who's infected but that doesn't stop nobody. God tells us not to fornicate for a reason. He'll send somebody at the right time. You won't have to worry about gettin caught up then.People see what can happen with drugs but that don't stop nobody. After all this gang killing people still wanna bang. If you don't allow the Spirit of God to work in you the devil will be able to come in and take control. That's why people do crazy stuff. It's so real but you'll never know if you don't truly surrender your life to God. Whether He's black or white, Whether you believe the whiteman wrote the bible or whatever the excuse, the fact remains, God is real. A lot of people believe in the devil and hell but don't believe in God. That don't sit with me. I can only speak on experience and I know it's only cause of god i'm still alive. I don't ask for money or ask people to join my church, so what's my reason for sharing the gospel? It's like this back in the day I let people know where the party at where the hoes at where the smoke at cause that's the life I know. Jesus open my eyes and changed my heart. I'm telling you it's really a spiritual war and the devil gets those who don't know how real it is. I got 5 kids and I live in a 2 bedroom apartment. I'm like 40gees in debt and I still got court issues.I don't let that stop me from praising God. He didn't do that to me but He's helping me get through it. Why would God give me a house while i'm in debt and have court issues? I know once things get in order i'll get a house and all that. My situation only makes me go to God even more cause I know He's my source and He knows what I need cause He
