Pam and I started singing in the summer of 2014, we have recorded several songs over the past 2 years as God directed. I was in a lot unbelief about what Jesus told me to do. At times it would freak me out, but I continued on singing with Pam, until eventually I would overcome what people thought of me; to a degree. I had to continue to believe that God had given me a music ministry.
A few months ago Doyle came into the sanctuary on a Wednesday night, and quoted this scripture: 1 Corinthians 14:26, How is it then, brethren? When ye come together every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.
The following Sunday night I knew that it was right to join Pam, with the song God gave us, “Just A Closer Walk With Thee”. The Saturday before, I woke up in great fear, I felt like horror had overwhelmed me. To that point I could have never understood what it meant to have horror overwhelm you. I got up and went out and walked and prayed almost until the 11 am program. I kept praying and pressing in with all that I had, about 10 minutes before the program started I could feel it lifting. By the time the program started it was completely gone, I was free, no fear. It hit me again Sunday morning, I did the same thing, it lightened, but did not leave until around 3:30 that afternoon. The devil had said to me earlier in the day that I needed to have some wine, before I went to sing, I laughed! How would I ever overcome this fear if I was intoxicated!
By the time I got to church that night I was a little nervous but not afraid. I was ready, and in the middle of the program we went up to sing. I thank God for that night, so I could overcome fear of what people think. So I truly learned, that fear is a spirit and you don’t have to yield to it and you can overcome it and it has to leave. Even in a trying situation, you can walk in perfect peace, if you’re obeying God. Pam has shared with me something Doyle had told her and it is true. He said to her, “When I overcame caring what people thought, then I could obey God”.
