2nd James


"By the grace of God 2nd James survived the 1st James. _____Romans 10: 9, 10
Within 24 hours 1st James faced numerous trials. First, as he was diligently going about his normal routine of making the night deposit from his job, he was robbed at gunpoint with the barrel of the gun just inches from the side of his head. Without any concern for what had happen to James, his Superiors cold-heartedly fired him for being late making the deposit. James was then asked to remove all effects belonging to the store from his vehicle. Devastated and baffled by their decision, James inadvertently released the latch to the hood of his car instead of the trunk. Still distraught over what had taken placed James left. As he traveled down the 710 Hwy at a speed of 65 miles per hour, still unaware of what he had done, the hood of the car suddenly flew back crashing through the front windshield. In a panic, and with his eyes filled with glass, James fought desperately to maintain control of the car, through the grace of God he managed to steer the vehicle to the side of the road without further incident. While sitting in his car, mentally and emotionally distressed and with his eyes still filled with debris from the glass, what had been spiritual implanted in James throughout the years from attending Church and half way seeking the Lord began to surface. James began to repeatedly cry out, "No weapon formed against me shall prosper! No weapon formed against me shall prosper!" As he continued to cry out, he began to feel a sudden calm and settling in the pit of his stomach. He felt the presence and the comfort of the Lord telling him it was going to be alright and that he had everything under control. Later that week, as he sat on the rocks at the shoreline beach in Long Beach, consumed with thoughts about all of the recent trials he had faced; being robbed at gun point, losing his job, being separated from his wife and almost losing his life, James noticed an older white man. His appearance was that of a bum. His skin was dirty and his clothing was shabby. Concerned with his own situation at the time, James tried to avoid the man. James thought he was going to beg for money, but instead he gave him a word. Keeping his distance the man said "I don't mean to get on your case, invade your space or get up in your face, but the Lord told me to come tell you, he has a message that you must get through, you need to get your life in order carry around your pad and pen and a tape recorder." "The messenger continued ministering to James for several minutes with each sentence ending in a rhyme. As he finished and walked away, he said, "foot prints in the sand". James could not deny that God was speaking directly to him. After that, the Lord continued to impact his soul greatly. His spirit man began to grow and he started writing truly divine, anointed and inspiring Word based Gospel Raps that flowed freely from pen to paper. James, a native of California, rededicated his life to Christ and yield to the calling in April of 2003, at that point, 1st James died and through the Mercy and Grace of God 2nd James was born. The Lord has blessed 2nd James with a Strong and Powerful gift for "Wrappin" the word of God. 2nd James has declared that as for him and his household, which consists of a truly righteous mother, a prayer warrior sister, and a young bible reading word speaking nephew, they'll serve the Lord! He thanks the Lord continuously for a spiritually supportive family who consistently lifts him up in prayer and keeps him encouraged as he walks this road of faith. 2ndJames has committed to diligently seek God first in everything, as he strives to pursue the vision given to him by God. 2nd James sees the Lord using him as a vessel to go out among God's people and minister the Gospel of Jesus Christ through the Highly Anointed and Unique Ministry of Rap, God has placed him in charge of. THANK GOD FOR SECOND CHANCES!
