Confessions of a Christian Rapper

Yes, that is the title for my new book " Confessions of a Christian Rapper"  This book reveals a lot about my past  and present life. Seeing the increase of black christian books, i felt the need to tell my story. I wanted to tell my story to all who would listen to it.

I have been through so many trials and just like you, some battles I did win, and others I lost. I have lived a decent life up till now, and I intend on following God to find out what else he has in store for me. In this new christian book i have opened up about a few things that many don't know about me. And i hope that this new book will help someone who has been through, or who is going through the same situations.

This  christian eBook is about the life of a christian rapper. This rapper has a interesting background story. This amazing book is full of interesting tales of money, drugs,sex, relationships, music, work, and family and proverbial insight from the lessons of his life.     

New christian books  are climbing high and it seems like they are more in demand in this present day. Many people are seeking the truth, because they are starting to realize all of the lies that are being told to them through every form of media they are using right now. Christian rappers,and christian hip hop music is on a steady increase in searches and sales. More youth are looking for new and more positive music to listen to. And i don't blame them.

This book has many lessons that you can learn from. Especially my mistakes. Christian rappers are of the elite that has been overlooked for a long time. I look forward to putting the stamp of  the love of Jesus Christ on as many hearts as i can do. Christian are an elite group as a whole that has not been silenced.

Why didnt God destroy Satan from the beginning?

Why didnt God destroy Satan from the start? well, when you look at it, he had several reasons. 1) Satan had rumored and rattled so many of the angels that, if God did destroy him, it would have more of the angels questioning God's authority. 2) God wanted to give the angels a chance to really see the motives of Satan for who he really was, so when judgment came, there would be no excuse or pity on his punishment. freedom of choice was the greatest gift that the creator has given man, besides procreation, but it also comes with GREAT responsibility. When you choose to follow God and his will, you will be rewarded for your obedience. But if you  choose to follow rebellion, then punishment will be your judgment. There is no good reward in following rebellion.

 The angels watched as Satan deceived Adam and Eve, and how he took dominion of this world away from them and continued his battle with the Almighty to this day. They even saw how he came back and forth from the earth looking for his next prey. Look at what horrible things he did to a man named Job, took his family, all ten children, his livestock, made him ill with boils  and sores all over him, and made his wife talk crazy to him, and his friends couldn't understand either. And last but not least, look at what he did to the one who tried to save him from his own destruction; beat him, whipped and gorged him, disfigured his face, many people spit on him, made him carry a cross. Not only did he nail him to the cross, he stood it up on the highest point for all to see! 

 That was the moment that they knew he was a liar and a murderer. They knew that God was righteous and holy in his ways. Blessed are  the ones who didn't believe Satan's  lies. But sad for those who did follow him and got cast out. He had every opportunity to change but he chose otherwise. Hopefully some humans will be smart enough not to follow and receive his same punishment.

We can never know God's plan for things until we start doing our part. Then little at a time, he gives us pieces to the puzzle as we go...stay diligent and humble yourself. God will show you honor and glory for your obedience to him.

What does the bible have to do with me? Part 1

If i had a dollar for every time i have heard this question, the top 100 billionaires couldn't touch me!! but the answer is still the same... it has every thing to do with you!. Dont believe me? i figured you wouldn't, so i will break this down into easy to understand segments, this is Part 1. You have heard the expressions "There is nothing new under the sun" and "History repeats itself" which are actually facts. So many people laugh and say that the bible was written by man and that God is only a myth in the mind of humans. And that the bible is and outdated book because its over 2000 years old. But think about it..... IF THE BOOK HAS BEEN AROUND THIS LONG, THAN IT MUST HAVE SOME SORT OF POWER BEHIND IT TO ENDURE THIS LONG. Through a couple of illustrations you will see the similarities from 2000 years ago to the present day.





What is this? this is a ancient coliseum in Rome, where they held there sporting events, among other things.It is well over 2000 years old.

Now well over 2000 years later, what do we have hear... a similar coliseum which holds sporting events in our present day.

Next is this olive tree. This well-known olive tree has been calculated to be about 1,600 years old. It still gives fruit (about 30 kg per year), which is made into top quality olive oil. No matter how old something is, when it works for the good of God it will always produce!!

Is anyone familiar with the dead sea scrolls?


Here are some facts about the dead sea scrolls:


The Isaiah Scroll, found relatively intact, is 1000 years older than any previously known copy of Isaiah. In fact, the scrolls are the oldest group of Old Testament manuscripts ever found.



The Scrolls can be divided into two categories—biblical and non-biblical. Fragments of every book of the Hebrew canon (Old Testament) have been discovered except for the book of Esther.


The Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in eleven caves along the northwest shore of the Dead Sea between the years 1947 and 1956.They have been called the greatest manuscript discovery of modern times.


and here is a excerpt from an article about the scrolls and their findings about Jesus Christ:

"The discovery of the virtually identical wording "the Son of God" from Luke 1:32 and 35 with the scroll found buried in a cave in A.D. 68 stands as a tremendous witness to the early existence and transmission of the Gospel records within thirty-five years of Christ. If the Gospels were written and distributed within thirty-five years of the events of the life of Jesus (as the Gospels claim) then they stand as the best eyewitness historical records we could ever hope to possess. It would be almost impossible to distribute the Gospel accounts to thousands of people in Israel within three and a half decades of the events unless they were true accounts. If the Gospel records were untrue, many witnesses would have stood up and denied their accuracy. However, the records of the first century reveal that no one denied the facts about the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. In fact, all of these ancient historical records confirm the truth of the Gospels."

This is for you who are on the fence and dont know what to do. Trust and have faith that Jesus is the way of life.I will have much more to share and show you in these next segments. God does love us all, and this is living proof of it.



People will tell you that God is a myth, but they dont understand that God will forever preserve his word. The above information supports my statement. Im not here to force anything on you. but facts are facts.Im here to share knowledge because i care. God says "My people will perish, for lack of knowledge". Man will always fall relying on his own knowledge and understanding. I dont want to see that happen. stay tuned for part 2.

Free will or Fate.. that is the question?

I came across an article about free will and i wanted to share it with you. I enjoyed reading it, enabling me to confirm within myself that God and free will is all that we need to make the best in life.

Free Will?
by: Scott F Paradis



Fate or free will? Choice or predestination? The debate has raged since man first conceived himself separate from his surroundings and apparently presented with options. Some say the script is written, that we move through life, experiencing the rush but not really choosing the course. Others contend that choices abound, options are infinite - we creatures are free.

Scientists exploring the nature of forces, point to the nearly infinite string of cause and effect — the consequence of every force is an incontrovertible result. Every "a" leads to a "b" leads to a "c" without deviation. Forces set in motion are not deterred from their net effect. In this construct there is no room for choice. Cause and effect, and ultimately life, are reduced to a mathematical equation moving to a determined quotient.

In the day-to-day reality of life we believe we have choices. We can choose coffee, tea or milk; beer, wine, or schnapps for that matter; or nothing at all. We can choose to wear blue, red, yellow, green; a turtleneck or cutoffs; a beret or bonnet. We can work in industry or government; services or manufacturing. We can live here, there, or nowhere at all. Choices abound. In the end - it is belief that matters.

The argument for fate, as rational as it may be, assumes a finality - a limit, an end, a definable, ultimately measurable state of existence. This argument presupposes a perspective so grand it accounts for every variable - the entire complex motif; the awe-inspiring wonder and richness of infinitely complex forces at play. The proponents of fate suppose no influence of powers outside the dimensions of what can be known. But all might not be as it seems.

Science, nor philosophy, nor religion can define the bounds of what is. The scope of it all is beyond the ability of human intellect to conceive. While we cannot see beyond the reach of our sight, we cannot presume to "know" what is out there. Luckily, however, life is not an experience in a theoretical realm. Life is a foray into a wondrous brick and mortar adventure.

Can beauty or truth exist with no conscious choice? For without the ability to choose an option, effort is for naught - all of life is a regimented process - not an engaging quest. Without choice, life would seem a hoax perpetrated on ignorant beings - an experience of the illusion, a colorful drama, but a drama lacking purpose. Without free will, life truly is a divine comedy.

If this reality is not the ultimate reality, if we are in this sensory world, temporarily immersed in the illusion, it stands to reason - powers in another dimension can influence what happens here. If we further subscribe to the belief that though we seem to live here, ultimately we are not of here, we can begin to grasp that we, ourselves, have a means to influence this reality - here again, we have a choice.

In attempting to resolve the argument between free choice and predestination we seek not an intellectual understanding of the means of this illusion, but rather the facts about who and what we are. We seek to know the truth and in this way understand and embrace our nature.

The ability to change direction, to influence an outcome is evident in what we observe. The universe is too big to confine. Our intellects cannot grasp the expanse nor understand the complexity of it all. Even if fate leads to an ultimate destination, in practice the roads to travel there are so diverse we have every choice. The opportunities in life are so varied, the promise and potential so vast that fate has no practical impact on the options before us. Our will is free enough. To experience a full and fulfilling life choose.
