Brainwavezz's 2004 Infiniti G35 Coupe 6mt

I did not grow up in a Godly or even average selfish and fleshly driven household. My parents practiced every other religion in a negative aspect but Christianity. I never agreed with their practices, but was forced to live a defeated life. To the outside world, everything looked normal, and all my friends ever noticed was that my parents were "weird". I knew I needed to get out that environment, but I was held captive under bondage battling with spiritual warfare and generational curses. I always knew there had to be a better way to live than that, but didn't know how. I knew God could help me, but didn't how easy it was to call on Him due to my life-long lack of church exposure. I didn't know that I could just pray the prayer of salvation, get on the internet and watch TV to listen to sermons or ask for prayer, despite growing up in one of the most church abundant areas of Atlanta. I had no Christian friends that could expose me to Christ.

During my public transportation commutes, I saw men reading the bible and didn't know much, but knew the bible could help. I truly didn't know I could have bought one so easily, despite having access to purchasing one all around me. Around 20 years old, I was blessed to get a free bible through one of my dad's kung fu students (her parents were ministers praise God!) I began reading it, and even though I didn't understand what was happening, things started getting a little better. Not realizing what I ended up saying, I later ended up praying the prayer of salvation in my room, and things began feeling a lot better and the load was lighter.

God had His hand on me the whole time, and I just focused on trying to understand the bible, seeking God, and being complete in Him. 6 months later, I met who is now my wife and she had been dealing with the same thing. She was an angel and offered me a safe haven to live at so that I could get closer to Christ without my parent's interference. My wife and I later joined a local church in December of 2001. I still felt something was missing, and realized I wasn't baptized then. In January of 2002, I became baptized.

Now that I have matured some in Christ, I am aware that God had His hands on me the whole time and had a calling for my life. He had a calling on my life to preach the Gospel, but not to be pulpit preacher. I am now a member of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, a very well respected Holy Hip Hop Artist, Songwriter, Producer, Engineer, and owner of Think About It Records (www.brainwavezz.com), where the label's mission statement is to bridge the gap between Christian Hip Hop and secular Hip Hop, while glorifying Christ in the process.

I pray that this testimony be a blessing to those who read it.

To God be the GLORY!
