LONGSHOT GOSPEL RAPPER AND POET

LONGSHOT GOSPEL RAPPER AND POET

May 1, 2012, Jersey City, NJ – From living a life of impurity and inequity to being included on a Grammy and Stellar Award nominated CD, Gospel Hip Hop artist, Wayne JTM has come along way and is counting his blessings by taking his place alongside a distinguished list of artists who have brought Christian/Gospel/Holy Hip Hop from underground to a national stage.

Bought to the attention of EMI Christian Music Group’s (CMG) executives, Wayne JTM’s songs Delilah, Tonight and Reach will on the two time award nominated compilation CD, Holy Hip Hop: Taking The Gospel to the Streets, Vol. 13 (released April 24, 2012) which includes a bonus Inspiration Jam, Vol. 6 CD. 

“I greatly and deeply appreciate the opportunity to be included on the album along with other deserving artists and blessed to have it receive two prestigious nominations. As an upcoming independent artist, any opportunity to share my music that doesn't force an individual to compromise their morals is not taken lightly. Especially that of this magnitude” says Wayne JTM.

Wayne JTM was born into the church but as a teenager went astray into the streets of his native Jersey City, NJ.  But after a life threatening event caused him to seek God he has never looked back and dedicates his life to bringing souls to Christ as a masterful lyricist. 

"I used to only talk about guns, drugs, girls, and all the other street stuff," the ambassador of God says, “but now I introduce the misguided to a God who can do anything, but fail. I just want people to know the joy, love, and completion one can feel knowing and walking with Jesus."

His first project in 2005, Life Under Oath: The Testimony Volume I (Mixtape) followed by The Precursor (Mixtape) in May, 2007 and Maturity (Album) released December, 2009 (re-released in February 2012) garnered invitations to perform at McDonald’s GospelFest, the legendary Apollo Theater and The Gifted Soul Showcase. He is a highly sought after guest artist at churches, community events and concerts around the country and his music is getting spins from Athens, GA’s Power 105.5 FM The King to Rutgers, NJ’s Power of Gospel, 88.7 FM and radio stations in between.

Wayne JTM always keeps it “G” but now the “G” stands for God and not gangster and is peppered with a spiritual grace and contemporary melodic beats as represented in the singles Delilah which tells of living a good life, Reach explains the gift of righteousness and Tonight is a celebration of our salvation through Christ.  You see, on this spiritual journey, Wayne JTM has been both the message and the messenger, a cautionary tale and the voice of reason and for Wayne JTM salvation is eternal but you have to get there to receive it.  Never underestimate the power of the divine power of the all powerful.  Wayne JTM is God’s latest miracle.

Holy Hip Hop: Taking The Gospel to the Streets, Vol. 13 is available on retail online stores including Amazon.com. For more information on Wayne JTM visit www.justtruthministries.com.

Once again, I am a teen entrepreneur in the 12th grade, am the owner and founder of my own cookie company called My Sweet Tooth, LLC. Recently I was spotlighted on BET's 106 & Park where I participated in a cooking segment with Terrence J and Rocsi (this is the first of its kind for a teen).

Not only am I the CEO of my own company, I am a Motivational Speaker, a host of Blood Drives for Children's National Medical Center, and a Motivational Hip Hop Artist who goes by the name 'Miss Cookie'.   

Other exciting opportunities have presented themselves for me as well.  Recently I had a listening session with DJ Gemini at Radio One to promote my music on the radio and things went really well!  I am also a competing finalist for the 2012 Excellence in Business Award on behalf of the Prince George's Chamber of Commerce.

HEY PAPI PROMOTIONS IS A MARKETING & PROMOTIONS SPONSOR

Come and visit us @ http://www.beyondbeautyaccess.com/Jewelry-Sets.html

We have an upcoming gathering that will take place in Beaumont Texas, in July.  As I was working on some things regarding this "Convocation", the Lord began to deal with me to explain it.  Why were we doing this, what was the purpose?  In the past, we had seen various denominational meetings called convocations, but in reality, they were denominational conventions.  So, what did the Lord want?

He took me to Scripture and began to break down the essence of the Convocation that HE was calling.  I submit that information to you in this writing.

The Vision Of

“The Word Of HIS Power...Convocation 2012”

Convocation Dates - July 8-14, 2012 in Beaumont Texas

Habakkuk 2:2-3

At the beginning of the year of 2011, when the Lord began to deal with me regarding this upcoming Convocation, I must admit, I thought of a convocation as many others have had them. They were, in part, church services, part musical showcases, part vacation. It was simply a time to get everybody together that was part of your group, or just wanted to “have church”. As time went on, the Lord brought me to a place of realizing He wanted to do much more.

As I write this to you, I ask you to prayerfully consider and ask the Lord if He will allow you to “catch this vision” and “run” with it, along with myself and others.

During the last few weeks and days, the Lord took me to the Scriptures that mentioned “convocation”. First of all, the word “convocation” means a calling together, a sacred assembly, something called out. So, during this time: The Lord is calling us out and together for a sacred gathering. He is planning on doing a work in those who will answer and show up.

In Exodus 12:16, the Word says that “no manner of work shall be done”. The revelation that the Lord gave to me was that we are not to do “business as usual”. We cannot approach this as the “same old church service”. Don't expect the “same old same old”. The Word goes on to say, “every man must eat”. The concentration and the only work allowed is to eat, I believe, of the spiritual food. We can eat the regular food too. But, the Convocation is about being fed spiritually.

When we look at Leviticus 23:27, it says, “ye shall afflict your souls”...”an offering made by fire”. This tells us that we should come before Him humbly and bowed down (in worship), to the place where our soulish nature is brought under subjection and offer ourselves as a sacrifice unto the Lord (Romans 12:1).

Numbers 29:1 tells us it is “ a day of blowing of the trumpets”. The Hebrew word that is used means, alarm, signal, shout, blast of war, alarm of joy, battle cry, blast for march. This Convocation is a time to celebrate the joy of the Lord, sound the alarm, declare war, give the battle cry and deliver marching orders.But, according to verse 12, we have a feast. It is a time to celebrate the Lord.

Therefore, here is the Vision of “The Word Of HIS Power...Convocation 2012...

• The Lord is calling us out and together for a sacred gathering.

• His plan is to do a work in all those who will answer the call of gathering.

• We cannot approach this as the “same old church service”. We must expect His “new”!

• We must eat of the spiritual food.

• Come before Him humbly, place our soulish nature under subjection, offer ourselves as a sacrifice unto the Lord (Romans 12:1).

• Celebrate the joy of the Lord; Sound The Alarm; Declare War; Hear The Battle Cry; Receive Marching Orders.

• Celebrate the Lord.

Will you “catch” the Vision and join me and “run” with me July 8-14, 2012, in Beaumont Texas?

I just recently heard a testimony of a guy on the radio, who said that

he had been in hospital, and had been in a coma, for some time.

GOD brought him out! PRAISE THE LORD!!! Lol.

www.soundclick.com/The+Final+Mc

This is what I do!

We are looking for you.  The PRAISE Experience is traveling to your city and would love to have you be a part of PRAISE 2012 "Moving In the Spirit".

Contact us at: keespiritllc@yahoo.com if interested.

Always have the Yes I can! mentality and the Yes I will! drive.

Now you fill in the blanks...

I received a word from the Lord today that said:

"The enemy is going to attack the children this week. Parents should be very diligent in watching over their children. Pray over them before they leave the house, pray that the veil of deception will be removed and they will be able to see the truth, and discern the environment they are in. Be sure of where they are going, who they are with, and the times they are supposed to be home."

Please heed the word of the Lord.

It is written, "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus". Well lets examine that for a moment. What was the mind of Christ?

Was it to party and have fun all the time? Was it to see how many women he could bed before he turned thirty? Maybe his mind was to get all the money he could, thinking only of his self and to hell with what anyone else needs? I speak as a fool: Perhaps his mind was to fight with the disciples about who is the greatest, or argue about positions and titles, then become all arrogant when the title is obtained: not being able to be called by his first name, or not answering those who called him until they called him Christ. Maybe Jesus was busy looking for different careers, fame, and fortune. I wonder if he used his platform to become famous in the eyes of man.

There have been many things written about our Lord and savior, but I have never read, or seen this kind of mind in Jesus. Jesus had one mind, one faith, and one baptism meaning his only focus was to do the work the father gave him and to finish that work. He was humble, meek, and lowly; terms that would make most men feel like punks today, but Jesus was anything but. He stayed with his assignment through being ridiculed, persecuted, slapped, punched, spat upon, lied to, tempted, whipped and beaten within an inch of his life, rejected by his own people, and finally hanged on a cross to die for our sins saying: "It is finished". He didn't start his new assignment until he had finished the first one: He came as redeemer, and left as savior and king.

This brings us to the so called "church" the body of believers who say they are Christians (Christ like) and have the mind of Christ. If you will now say: "I don't think I have the mind of Christ, or I never said I had the mind of Christ" then you are wasting precious time and energy, because you can't fulfill the assignment of Christ without his mind being within you. He whose spirit dwells inside of you, if you have the Holy Ghost, of whom it is written: "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth (the Holy Ghost), is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come" (John 16:13).

We the blood washed people of God who are supposed to represent Jesus Christ in the same manner in which he represented himself, have not truly represented him. We who are arrogant over titles and can't be called by the name our parents gave us without pastor, apostle, prophet, or minister being placed before our names. We who fight and spar over positions within the four walls of a building instead of attending to the true war in the kingdom. We don't finish one assignment before we are off starting another one; many times without the Lord. Jesus had one assignment, one mission, one purpose, and here we think that we can split our focus between 5 different ministries. This is not what Jesus meant when he said: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father".

We are unforgiving, prideful, selfish, self-willed, liars, adulterers, murderers (if you hate your neighbor you are a murderer), lacking of faith, destitute of truth, and distasteful in the Lord's nostrils. We don't want to hear the truth though we are born of the truth, and we house the spirit of truth. We have said as it were: "...Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits". We would rather continue in our folly, than to adhere to the true word of God; this Jesus did not do. We spend our time stroking our egos while seeking others to do the same.

We lie before the Lord saying: "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me". We quote this scripture with such vigor, yet when it comes to the practice of if we fall short. To be crucified with Christ means that I am dead in Christ, but many of us are not dead. We have our own mind, thoughts, dreams, gifts, and hopes which we use to benefit ourselves and not the purpose of God. Even the gifts given by God we use to promote ourselves to cause our own names to be called, or become great. It is written: "A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men", it does not say that man shall make room for his own gift. Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.

The Lord Jesus never promoted himself, but he promoted the father in word and deed for he did only those things he had seen with his father. He spoke only those words which would magnify the Father, and would bring glory to his Father. Therefore, out of the confidence he had with the father he could say who he was while promoting the father. He even told us to pray to the father in my name. In other words, don't pray to me, pray to the father and he will give you the desires of your heart in my name. Yet we want people to come to us, depend on us for prayer, and we make ourselves a mediator between God and man.

We think that we are so ready to see Jesus yet because of the way we have represented him, there is no fear of God in the body of Christ, or the world. We have no fear in sacrificing our salvation for a quick moment of lust, anger, or hatred and for these we would use scripture to attempt to justify our actions, which scripture has no justification for!

We have embraced the dead thing, the accursed thing in order to draw in the world, and we have removed the spirit; the Holy Ghost from our presence and have replaced him with entertainment. Do you think Jesus will justify you for this? No dead thing has ever resurrected a dead thing. Jesus drew the world, but not by the world's stuff, but by the spirit of God for it is written: "The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with loving-kindness have I drawn thee" (Jer. 31:3). Also: "No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day" (John 6:44). We can not hope to draw the world by incorporating the world's music, dance, or anything that is the word's for what is of the world is of the devil, and is death.

Blood washed believers, It is past time that we allow the mind of Christ to be in us, and choose again the things of God. Without the mind of Christ it is impossible for us to fulfill the assignment and commandments of God the Father. Without the mind of Christ we are doomed to continue the works of destruction. Without the mind of Christ we are simply doomed.

Please heed the words of the Lord, deny yourself pick up your cross and follow Jesus. Renounce all the hidden things of dishonesty. Put off promoting your self, and get back to promoting the Lord Jesus. Die in Christ that he might live in you. Love your enemies, do good to those who mistreat you and despitefully use you. If one hits you on the one cheek turn to him the other. Being reviled (to speak abusively), revile not again. Suffer yourselves to be defrauded. Suffer the loss of all things. Endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. Let this mind which was also in Christ Jesus, BE IN YOU!

At Whitney Houston’s funeral, Actor Kevin Costner said at “The Bodyguard” audition, she didn’t feel that she was good enough and/or pretty enough to get the part. He said because of her insecurity regarding her looks that she went in the back and put on more make-up and that it smeared down her face because of the hot lights.

And since her death, some people have been talking about how could such a talented, beautiful woman be insecure about who she was?
