HI AND THANKS FOR STOPPING BY, MY NAME IS MINISTER OF MUSIC CHARLES JOHNSON. ( MINISTER JOHNSON) ON OCTOBER 3RD 2007, AT A MUSIC CLINIC AT ST PAUL MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH, THE LORD USED THE CLINICIAN, A MAN NAMED KEVIN BOND, TO SHOW ME THAT HE HAD A PLAN FOR ME. THE LORD SHOWED ME THAT HE HAD GIVEN ME A VALUBLE TALENT, THAT HE WANTED ME TO USE. I NEVER REALIZED THAT WHAT GOD GAVE ME WAS A TALENT OR USEFULL. ( THE GIFT OF WRITING SONGS ) THROUGH THE WORDS OF KEVIN BOND, THE LORD TOLD ME THAT HE WANTED ME TO WRITE AND SING. THE LORD WAS READY TO USE ME AND HE KNEW THAT I WAS READY TO BE USED. ALL THESE YEARS, I NEVER KNEW THAT LYRICS IN SONGS WERE VERY, VERY IMPORTANT AND THAT YOU CAN MINISTER THROUGH SONGS. IF YOU LISTEN TO ANY MINISTER, YOU WILL HEAR THEM RIDE THIER SERMONS ON THE LYRICS OF A WRITTERS SONG. NEVER REALIZED HOW POWERFUL SONGS ARE UNTIL THAT DAY. I THANK GOD TODAY, THAT IT WAS MY TIME, BECAUSE I AM SURE, THAT HAD I KNOW, THAT I HAD THIS GIFT, I WOULD HAVE USED THEM WHILE I WAS YOUNGER, IN THE SECULAR MUSIC INDUSTRY. I KNOW YOU MAY NOT BELIEVE ME, BUT I TELL YOU, THAT THE LORD SPEAKS TO ME. ALL THESE SONGS WERE DONE AFTER THAT DAY. I DID ALL THESE SONG DEMO'S IN THAT SHORT OF TIME. I HAVE SO MANY OTHER MESSAGES THAT I STILL NEED TO TAKE INTO THE STUDIO. I HAVE INVESTED THOUSANDS INTO GETTING THESE MESSAGES OUT. PLEASE UNDERSTAND, IT IS NOT ME. IT IS THE LORD WORKING THROUGH ME. I GIVE GOD ALL THE GLORY. I HAVE HAD THE OPPERTUNITY TO WORK WITH SOME GREAT MUSICIANS IN THE SACRAMENTO AREA. REGGIE GRAHAM, JARON HIEM AND ROLAND POLLARD. THIS YEAR HAS GONE BY SO FAST. KINGDOM BUILDING HAS REALLY KEPT ME BUSY. GOD HAS CONTINUED TO GIVE ME MESSAGES THAT HE WANTS ME TO MINISTER TO ALL. IT WAS NOTHING BUT THE LORD, WHO SENT ME TO ST PAUL MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH IN SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA. I NEVER WANTED TO GO TO THE CHURCH. I CAN REMEMBER PASTOR WILLIAMS CALLING ME AT MY HOME AND INVITING ME TO CHURCH ON MANY OCCASIONS. I REFUSED TO COME. I WAS TOO BUSY DOING NOTHING. THE DEVIL DIDN'T WANT ME TO GO TO ST PAUL. HE WANTED ME TO STAY BLIND. THAT NIGHT ON OCTOBER 3RD WHEN I WENT, I SAW WHAT THE LORD HAS FOR ME TO DO. I HAD BEEN RUNNING FROM MY CALLING FOR YEARS. THE LORD HAS SPOKEN TO ME ON MANY OCCASIONS. TODAY, YOU CANNOT KEEP ME OUT OF THE CHURCH. I HATE TO MISS CHURCH. MY SPIRIT IS NOT SATISFIED IF I AM NOT IN THE CHURCH. THE REASON I AM LIKE TIS, IS BECAUSE I AM ONE OF THE FEW PEOPLE WHO REALLY KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO DO FOR THE LORD. I CLEARLY KNOW WHAT THE LORD WANTS ME TO DO. WHEN A PERSON KNOWS THIS, IT IS SO SATISFYING. IT KEEPS YOU STEAD FAST, EVEN WHEN PEOPLE SHUT DOORS ON YOU. THOSE SHUT DOORS ARE WHAT MAKES US STRONGER. THAT IS WHEN OTHER DOORS OPEN UP. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME???? I WAS SAVED AND BAPTISED AS A CHILD, BUT I SURRENDERED TO THE LORD AT ST PAUL. THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE. BE BLESSED AND SHARE THEM WITH OTHERS.

Story behind the song
I WAS FEELING SAD FOR MY SISTERS ONE DAY. THEY WERE GOING THROUGH PAINS AND PROBLEMS. I HAD BEEN GOING THROUGH HARD TIMES ALSO. I KINDA FELT THIER PAINS. AS I WAS WRITING I THOUGHT ABOUT ALL THE PROBLEMS THAT PEOPLE GO THROUGH IN LIFE. I PUT SOME OF WHAT I WAS SEEING IN THE WORDS. PAINS, SORROW, DEATHS, FEELING LONELY AND RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS. I HOPED THAT THE WORDS THAT GOD GAVE ME WOULD HELP SOMEONE. GOD WANTS THEM TO KNOW THAT ALL YOUR PROBLEMS AND ALL YOUR PIANS, YOU CAN LET THEM GO AND LEAVE THEM WITH HIM AT THE FOOT OF HIS CROSS.
