Madeline, you are so so blessed by our Father in Heaven. I say this with more conviction because after blessing you yesterday, I forgot about one of a particular problem that troubled me, and as I sat by my desk just freeing my mind to God's will, there came one of my supervisors with a small token in his hand for my family- He says it was for going beyond the call of duty. Now-While money is not the kind of blessing I wait for, it feels like every locust and cankerworm is after me, and the little I am contented with was no where to be found. I told Jesus, "It's your move Lord". And You know what- He moved! So thank you for giving me an opportunity to be blessed. My soul will continue to magnify the Lord! And we will continue to encourage you in The Lord!

Remember- our blessing could not have come from a curse. YOU ARE BLESSED!

"Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The Lord God is my strength, and He will make my feet like hinds feet, and He will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief Singer on my stringed instruments. AMEN
Habakkuk 3:17-19

As Jehoveah Tsidkenu is the Only FAITHFUL ONE- we remain faithful.

The Lord has planted in our hearts this special love towards you and your son! We feel extremely excited for you on this part of the universe as we know the Victory is yours- TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

Lucifer and all his foolish demons were simply given permission to touch certain areas in your life, BUT NOT TO KILL YOU!
My guess is you have to collect on something really big! Because the greater the pain, the bigger the blessing! The harded that devil will fight you.
Your son is a son of Eight (2008)- Perfect Healing is his!
If the Lord gave me the victory when my daughter was given under six months to live by doctors; our Father in Heaven told me that He is not going to fail you. Remember when you were having your son, that pain only made you push, and push, and push. Why! Because you knew that you were expecting to see Life- your beautiful baby boy! Enjoy your journey- dream big dreams, praise, worship, sing psalms and plead the blood of Jesus over everything your eyes and hands come in contact with. Avoid persons who you know lie in wait for your ruin, order your conversation aright, refuse to entertain any unnecessary, foolish talk that does not help you or your son.

When Jesus was all we had , we realized Jesus is all we need! Believing Jehovah Rapha for your complete healing. Give your son a kiss for us.

We are believing God with you and for you as God hears us as well when we pray, and we decree and declare in the Mighty Name of Jesus that every unrighteous prayer and works towards your household- that is, was ,and is to come- has been cancelled and command it never to return. May you and your son receive that particular blessing that the Lord holds in His hands for you both.

As a mother who truly loves her children, I have been well acquainted with rejection, pain and sorrow. We desire to see you free. We love you. Trinidad

being in bondage for forty years can bring sweet Revelation to every step you take. I have no other choice BUT TO WAIT. Jesus promised me that He will come in flesh to my rescue.

I wait- Jehovah God is not like man that he should lie.
If Jesus says it - He will do it. Amen

This God idea will not go away , THIS TIME I WAIT!!!

Pastor McClukin, I want to express my profound gratitude to God for granting you the strength to share your experiences. Most especially, your decision to be who God has destined you be.

I tell you the truth, tear roll my cheaks as i scroll through the lines of your story. The reason is because, I stayed too long where i was not supposed to stay. I just realized that i have a callingn to be a Pastor. All these years, i have been having problems with my schooling until God used someone to confront me. Now i know, and there is a kind of satisfaction that runs through my Life.

I am getting prepared to attend a Bible School to assume the call of God upon my Life. There is nothing like being in the place God destined for you.

I close with this, Your decision for being a Pastor is a nice one. It gives me more assurance about myself too.

God Bless You.
P. Felix EFIRI

I myself realize those very things you have come to terms with, and I am excited for you as you have made it in, not only phsically, but spiritually and mentally. There is no such thing as "too long'' with Jesus. We look at things that way when we have come into His embracing light, BUT JESUS IS ALWAYS ON TIME FOR HIS children. And may I remind you that your Father in Heaven already knew who you will become and the work that you will accomplish for His Kingdom....in spite of what, if Jesus chose you, by all means necessary Jesus will back you up all the way as you make a stand for righteousnesss, in the feedding of His sheep.
I look forward to hear of your work for the Glory of Jehovah God. Stay strong! If it was not for Jesus on my side, most definately I would have been dead to this world and burning in hell. Thank you Jesus!

We love you, and as we wait for Jesus to speak to your heart, we hold on to the word Almighty God has planted in our hearts, as you have no other choice RE. the Affairs of Jesus Kingdom. WE LOVE YOU! and All @ Perfecting Church in Freeport.
How can I say Thank You for All that you have done?

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY TO APOSTLE GARY and PROPHETESS AGNES GEORGE AND to ALL THE TRUE WORSHIPPERS @ JESUS ELAM REVIVAL INTERNATIONAL, TRINIDAD.
Thank You for being Good Leaders, WE LOVE YOU!

I saved the best for last...HAPPY VALENTINES DAY TO OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN, THE ONLY FAITHFUL ONE, THE FIRSTBORN OF EVERY CREATURE, LORD OVER ALL, WHO SEES ALL AND KNOWS THE HEART OF ALL.
WE LOVE YOU MOST!

The testimony of Donnie McClurkin is refreshing. I felt inspired to comment because, whether we have struggles with homosexuality or not, each one of us are in equal standing with God. Sin is sin. I don't have homosexual desires, but my sins are no less than any other sin. Our daily struggles to keep pure as the Lord asks of us, is what it is , a struggle. We need to cling to the Lord to keep from falling.
Pastor Donnie is not alone in his daily fight. We all have the same testimony to keep "Standing" in God's grace. What a testimony we each have right along with Pastor Donnie. What an inspiration each of our lives are as people see our struggles and as a result our lives point to God as the source of forgiveness, grace, love and mercy.

Pastor McClurkin:

I read your post and I have to tell you that you are an inspiration to alot of people, I was a gay man for the last 20 years, I was molested by my uncle between the ages of 6 and 13 years old, and I am hear to tell you that it hurts but I think GOD for his grace and mercy upon my life. I listened your music, including my favorite "We Fall Down" I am a man that has failed down so many times, I have been on the verge of suicide at times, but when I listen to your music, it encourages me to go on, so I am hear to tell you Pastor McClurkin, that I am going to continue to go forth and stay strong.

Sister Lonnice Prayer,

Have you ever thought about having your own website? You are such an Encourager. I view this site often because I recognize the pain of God people and it’s great that someone is able minister to them. It’s good to know someone cares. I pray God best for you.
God Bless

I've only been listening to Pastor Donnie's music for a couple of months now, and something about the lyrics, and the attitude got me to reading about him. I am impressed. First time I truly listened to STAND, I cried for hours.

Pastor, such a short while but you are already a source of inspiration to someone who falls down ever so often, but has to get back up again... because there is hope in Jesus Christ, and your work helps underline that to me more.

God bless you abundantly in your life and your work! God bless your family.

its good to know that a man of God can come out and tell us that he has issues which he deals with on a day to day basis,
