The Purpose Room

Have you tried Jesus? Hes alrightttt! Have you tried my Jesus? He's alright! If you growed up Church of God in Christ like I did you heard this song many times. The point however is that he is STILL GOOD! Its a southern thing to say that "Jesus is alright!"  ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT! *Claps Hands*. This has been a rough year but I am proof that he is the God of turn around. He is a God of purpose and clarity. In the midst of everything don't turn back, but cling to the promises of God.

It was three-day event and I could testify about the Goodness of the Lord. We literally brought heaven down all three nights.
