The Vision and the Ministry (Updated Saturday January 9th 2021) We are all blessed with talents and gifts and as Christians, our purpose in life is to glorify God first and foremost, as well as to bless others with the gifts that God has given us. It's hard to realize the talents you have until others help confirm them to you. I believe revelation comes from God Himself and confirmation comes from/through man. God has given me a passion for rapping and poetry (Therapy - Prayeth - They Rap) and a burden for today's youth. With that, He has given me a vision to preach the sermons that He has laid on my heart in hip-hop (Holy Inspired Praise - Healing Our People) format, a sermon that can relate to young kids and our current generation. In order to effect (affect) change, we need to transform the mind's of our youths because they are the ones that will change the world. The moral decline of our nation (and world) calls for drastic measures. We need to reach our youths and bring them back to the path of righteousness and purity. God has called me and I have answered Him. He has given me a vision and I have taken the step of faith. With the help of the church, the body of believers, a great impact will be made if the youth can get their ears tuned in to the lyrics that God has inspired me to write for Him (to advance the Kingdom of God). I'm ready to stretch God (or Im ready for God to stretch me) to the limit with this ministry and I know that He will answer my call because He has promised me that if I call to Him, He will answer me and show me "great and unsearchable things that I did not know (Jeremiah 33:3). My ministry is called Words That Build because the words we speak are so powerful. The world speaks words that kill and tear apart, and I'm here to speak words that encourage, heal, and build. The tongue is one of the most powerful weapons we have. Forget about weapons of mass destruction; if people spoke words of love and actually loved their neighbors, would there even be wars? We are all accountable for the words we speak and I have made up my mind to not let any "unwholesome talk come out of my mouth, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it will benefit those who listen (Ephesaians 4:29). My vision is that every youth (or everyone young at heart) in America and even worldwide (made possible through the internet) will have access or an opportunity to listen to the ministry of Verbal Chemistry starting with my very first album, "His Favor, My Offering," because the words I speak are not my own. The words I speak are from Jesus Christ and are life changing. "Divine inspiration...Christ gave His blood, I give my perspiration, combined with patience, my lyrics will nurse the nation back to health. Verbal Chemistry

Lyrics
Track 12_Self-Thoughts (His Favor, My Offering) Lyrics written by: Verbal Chemistry Music Produced by: ArcticSongs @ www.FreeRapBeats.com Lord, please don't be upset with me...I need to get in the ring with you and wrestle with you...that I may draw close to you. (Verse 1) Lord, I'm bout to self-destruct; I'm almost to the point of what the...but I trust in your perfect timing; your servant's dying; I once was king but the jungle has killed this lion; they see my smile but you're the only one that hears my crying; why the fear? why am I scared? I feel the pressure but I see no diamonds; in the land of giants, I've run out of stones and death is knocking; my chest is throbbing with pain from a broken heart; I'm in too deep like I missed Noah's ark; I'm so small but how great thou art; rescue me, set me free; who is he who dwells in your temple that shouldn't be? tell 'em to leave; I feel like the seed who is choked by the weeds and can't even breathe; you've broken me to the point where I'm on all fours, humbled, crying, saying, "Lord, I'm all yours!" and I know there's no quick fix, no spiritual lottery to get me rich quick; I'm like Job, a wanted man on Satan's hit list; hit with, every arrow from every angle; hit with, situations and problems I can't handle; hit with, a spirit of heaviness that needs to be lifted; your Word is true but right now it seems like a misprint; your blessings, I've missed it; Satan all up in my district; I used to chew on solid food, now it's back to liquid; too many backward steps, you're everything right but I'm rebelling going hard-core left; why the stress and this awkward catch 22 that leaves me confused about the real you? you claim to be the Way, the Truth, and Life, but is that even true? you want my trust without me first seeing you? good thing I'm not a preacher 'cuz I'll be a preaching fool; preaching to fools who would believe something so absurd as your Word; like a God who is complete yet cut in thirds? the Trinity is silly; see, it's like the funniest thing I've ever heard; but what do I know? little me.... (Bridge) What do I know?(6x)...and He blessed me! (Verse 2) I guess I'm just bitter 'cuz I've denied myself worldly pleasure because Heaven is where the fun's at; but you're taking your sweet 'ol time just to make your come back; it's not fair, why must I suffer? some cats get blessed with rainbows but I get lightning and thunder; I run fast for cover; I'm alone; no brother, no mother, no friend, no significant other; darkness reigns no other color but pitch black; and if the Son can't give me the light, then He can take His gift back; it's sad that I feel this way but I've been long gone even before the storm formed and everything is all wrong; sometimes I wish I was never...let's stop right there; I've bit my tongue for too long; if I let it loose, I just might swear; I've shouldered my cross and as a result these are the burdens I bear; I can't feel your presence, not even a little bit; this dark cloud that hovers over me is killing me, you need to get rid of it; just say those three words like you did in Genesis; the glass is half full but I'm this close to being an oxymoron, a Christian pessimist... Track 12_Self-Thoughts (His Favor, My Offering) Lyrics written by: Verbal Chemistry Music Produced by: ArcticSongs @ www.FreeRapBeats.com continued (Verse 3) I had to vent vertically 'cuz God is the only constant in this world of uncertainty; it's hurting me to see my brother in so much pain; he cried to the point where he had no more tears, that's when we took on his burdens and cried like the rain; nothing makes sense anymore, you have to die to have gain; I try to maintain, but some people never know freedom; they just die in their chains; time for a change; my mind was insane until it got renewed; spiritually, I was about to expire but He knew...I couldn't hide anymore; God's vision, see-through, and I represent everyone in the same situation
