Dear brother Rodney, when it comes to any form of temptation, prayer is an absolute must but you must also take practical steps to overcome it. First of all dont create memories with anyone you may be tempted by, what i mean is no telephone calls that you can reminisce about, no "supposed innocent" meetings that you can think about when you are alone and daydreaming and dont go to places where you know without a shadow of a doubt that there will be someone there to tempt you. Always be HONEST with yourself as situations that arise out of being tempted or backsliding rarely happen by mistake. Like Pastor Donnie said, surround yourself with people who know about your struggles and will help you when you are weak. p.s Stay strong and positive and if your church does not have a deliverance ministry please look for a church that does deliverance and get delivered, i'm not saying leave your church. God bless you and keep you always. Joy

Bless you Bro Rodney,
I just wanted to say to you that I'll be praying for your strength to overcome and be delivered. Please know that you have the power and authority overall. You have to proclaim what God has spoken over your life and don't waver, though it may tarry wait on God. By His stripes you are Healed even in that struggle of homosexuality. I thank God for you being in the Kingdom of God.Keep pressing and don't give up. Be blessed.
your sis in the Lord,

Bless you pastor,
I just wanted to let you know that most of your struggles will be pacified when you connect with the wife God has cultivated for you. She will wait for you because she has no choice. She was created for you. Everything she ever went through in her life has prepared her for this assignment. To walk with you and to change a world. You both share the same passions, because God has intended it to be this way. Pastor Mcclurkin you are the blessing to the world. I thank God for you and your heart. Please continue to believe God for His best because thats what He has for you. She is not just a woman of God thats beautiful in the inside but shes beautiful even on the outside. Please don't settle because God has an awesome plan for the marriage its not about you or her although you both will be happy, its all about ministry.
In His care,
Lonnce Prayer

This is a reply to 'JUST WANT TO KNOW', @ 22:41 Nov 9 2007 - As you just want to know, you shall surely see, The Lord promised that He will prepare a table before me in the presence of mine enemies, NOT AS I WILLL, BUT AS THOU WILT.
WAIT I SAY ON THE LORD!!!!!!!!

Reading what The Lord has planted on your heart, made every hair on my body raise, and tears ran down my eyes, as only Jesus and I knows what I am going through at present. Maintaining perfect faith when the Lord has chosen you alone to believe well in someone or something can break your heart when the rest of the world doubts you. Thank you for your words of comfort and confirmation.

I did not know much about your music, but I went to your concert in Johannesburg, I was touched. The following day you were gonna preach, and something pressured me to go and listen to your sermon. The only way to describe it is that it was amazing. I have been to different churches but not heard anyone preaching the truth as you did that day. I am a very calm person but that day I was excited, actually you validated my beliefs of how to live your life Christ -like. Now I am a great fan of yours, thanks God for people like you!

Good Day Pastor Donnie.
I just have to comment on the concert you held in South Africa in August 7-11 specifically the one at the Sandton Convention Centre (that was the one i attended).
You were a blessing and the love you have for people of different nations is just undiscribable.
You touch lives by just ministering in song alone and that i must say is a gift from GOD.
Stay blessed !!!!!

Pastor McClurkin, Its been exactly one year that I have had a revelation so very wonderful about you! I wonder if you really know how 'special' you are. You touch so many lives and I find it surreal and spiritual; so beautiful that it makes me weep with joy. I KNOW the Lord has even another mission for you and it is all going to be so divine!-LOL

Blessed Pastor Donnie Mcclurkin..... i'm sure you know that God is your father and that he loves you so very dearly.... I got a word of encouragement from him for you and God said:
It is going to get better ooh child.....
No matter what situation comes your way, temptations or trials, remember that God is willing and capable to deliver you...trust in him with all your heart and lean not on your understanding, and it will be seriously well with you....
God bless you brother..

Hello Pst Donnie
Just wanna tell you that I am touched with your story everytime I read it. It's a proof that God's love endures forever, no matter how far u'v gone when you come back & cry to Him he will embrace you. I love your music very (I even have it in my cellphone). May God really bless you. I am planning to come 2 US to study music hopefully God will grant me the opportunity of meeting you. You r truly an inspiration and a father to me(but don't know it).
Love you dad in the Lord.
