6 years ago I dealt with a ton of backlash concerning my book Woke Church which was a call to biblical justice in and thru the church. The amount of slander, videos and even whole conferences done, books written against me personally and the issues in this country was staggering. Nonchristians were very encouraging to me and many Christian’s were as well. I had Hebrew Israelites and other BRIC’s and folks from the conscious community saying they didn’t know black Christian’s call out racism in the church and this country. I called out the issues with both conservatives and liberals. I had those who were pastor associates doubting my salvation. Woke/conscious was a term used by blacks to speak of an awareness we all should have for the racism in this country and beyond. The left highjacked the term and the right defined it based on the left’s misuse of it. Over time I became disillusioned with spaces that I was in where the majority culture was arguing about CRT and politics and there being no such thing as systemic racism. I can’t be placed in a monolithic box. I’m pro-life and anti racism, I’m for the nuclear family and not for transgenderism. During this time I became very depressed being connected to majority cultured evangelical circles. So I pulled out of all of them. It was hard at first, but ever since then, as I’ve focused on the mission God has given His church and the assignment that God has for me, I feel like I’m so in the will of God. I didn’t deconstruct, but I was depressed, I didn’t abandon the faith, but I sought to abound in gospel clarity and commitment. I was going thru a storm of spiritual warfare on every level of my life. Church, family, relationships and personally. I even found out that a witch coven had made it their assignment to specifically assign demons to me and my family to torment me and destroy me in very specific ways. I was suicidal in secret. And begged the Lord to help me stay here for my kids, my wife and His glory. I went into counseling, told my closest friends, wife, and church. Got the help I needed. And God renewed me. I’ve watched so many of my brothers and sisters whom I love dearly leave the faith over the last 4yrs. Im still here by the grace of God and my resolve is ever clearer than ever for YHWH AND HIS glory! Yeshua will get the glory, all of it! I’m convinced that we are in the last days. Idk why I’m posting this, but just felt led to. Maybe it’s for just one person that needs to hear this. God loves you and so do I! Hold fast.
