I want to shed light on fatherless households, and the effect of spiritual warfare fueled through the Hip Hop culture. There is a fatherless crisis among the black community, and too many people aren’t talking about it. The hip-hop celebrity artists are fueling this through their lifestyle and art. Although rappers are not the only cause of this crisis, they play a massive role in our black communities’ lack of fathers in the home.
Are you saved and Heaven bound? These days many are deceived about being saved and think they have time to play around with their life here on earth. However, I created a video that can help you navigate your questions about eternity and salvation. For those that get saved (born-again), God writes their name in the book of life. Salvation is found only in Christ Jesus, and you’ll see that in the scriptures.
Many people get presented with the Gospel daily yet reject the invitation to come to Christ due to deception, hatred, and disbelief. But, don’t be deceived, my friend. Everyone that denies the message of the cross will live with the consequences of the choice eternally.

Every fasting experience I ever completed was unique from the others in some way. Eleven years ago, I fell short during a corporate Daniel fast. I didn’t’ struggle much during the first thirteen of that twenty-one-day fast. Yet, on the fourteenth day, I had a weak moment and ate chicken.
My fall happened because of canceled plans. Please let me explain!

Are you ready to fast to refocus spiritually now? Fasting and prayer are the super-powers for Christians. When you pair fasting with prayer, it packs a supernatural punch in the spirit realm.
