The format for service this past Sunday was so simple, but the anointing was so powerful! Galley Molina, Israel Houghton, and Stephen Baldwin were all there to talk about their newest movie “I’m In Love with a Church Girl.” I actually saw the trailer for this movie quite some time ago and thought “What in the cheesy church movie,” but after hearing Galley Molina’s testimony I am definitely going to support on October 18th.

The story is based on Molina’s life going from drug lord to pastor. He spoke briefly about how God was able to enter his life because he knew that the only way he would go to church was because of a woman. The movie “I’m In Love with a Church Girl” reflects his life as a drug lord and how he gave his life over to christ. It’s not your ordinary redemption story, it is the story of how God truly works within our culture and society.

God says come as you are, but many people feel you have to be fixed up and “perfect” so God can accept you. What we don’t realize is that God knows every fiber of our being. He knows our heart better than we do. If we come to Him “perfect” what good would our testimony be. Our struggles and how God helped us move forward by overcoming them is a powerful story that can and will help someone. We just have to come to God as we are because only He can heal us.

After the Q & A session with Galley Molina and Stephen Baldwin, Israel and New Breed BLESSED us with a “mini concert.” When I tell you we were #TurntUpForJesus I mean it. He sang quite a few songs and the anointing of God’s spirit was so powerful. He sang a few of my favorites, then again I love all of his songs, “I am a Friend of God,” “Lord You are Good,”It’s Not Over” and “Moving Forward.”

“It’s Not Over” has gotten me through some tough times. It made me realize that God has the final say in everything. Although many things that I have wanted and prayed for I did not receive, I know that it was for the best. The lyrics say

I know its darkest just before dawn
this might be the hardest season you’ve experienced
I know it hurts, it wont be too long
Cause your closer than you think you are
Closer than you’ve been before
so look to the sky, help is on the way

Chorus

Is not over, its not finished
its not ending, its only the beginning
when god is in it,
all things are new, ooh ooh ooh ooh
all things are new, ooh ooh ooh ooh

Verse 2

Something is moving, turning around
Seasons are changing, everything is different now
Here comes the sun, piercing the clouds
You’re closer than you think you are
Closer than you’ve been before

So look to the sky, look to the sky
Help is on the way, help is on the way
Our God is faithful, faithful to say

It’s not over, its not finished
It’s not ending, its only the beginning
It’s not over, its not finished
It’s not ending, its only the beginning
When God is in it
When God is in it oh oh oh oh ooh ooo

If you keep God first in your life know that there are no limits. God can do above what we can ever imagine. We just have to remain faithful and in prayer while looking to the sky because as the song says help is on the way. Remember with God THERE ARE NO LIMITS! This has to be our thought process as believers.
