IN JESUS' NAME, I PROCLAIM I'M BLESSED not black

About the Book

I remember when Doctor Willie Traylor and his wife, Peggy, came to Greater New Start Church in 2005. They arrived from a church across town, Houston, called Christian Tabernacle, pastored by Dr. Richard Heard. Dr. Traylor relayed to me that Jesus sent them to us. They said that the LORD said He was expanding the borders of their tent. I can defi nitely attest to the fact that the LORD has expanded their tent’s borders as well as Greater New Start’s borders.

One thing that JESUS put on Dr. Traylor’s heart to do was edit our faith confession. Since we have joined in agreement in editing our confession, which we confess out loud each service, we all have and are still witnessing the manifestation of what we have been confessing in JESUS’S Name. This week we are moving into close to a half-million-dollar church property. Therefore, I feel this is a good place to share our faith confession with the rest of the world:

Father, we thank you that we are givers of ourselves, time, and money. Because we are givers, YOU give and cause men to give to us—good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over. We are sowing our seed into good ground; therefore we believe YOU are helping us prosper SPIRITUALLY, PHYSICALLY, and FINANCIALLY. We thank you, FATHER, that you increase our anointing more and more (me, my family, and my church). Abundance in every area is your will for us, and we choose not to settle for less. WE DECLARE that we are bearing a hundredfold fruit, and others are seeing the manifestation of our faith. We are wealthy in every KINGDOM AREA, in JESUS’ Name, amen.

Just as the LORD has used Dr. Traylor and his wife at Greater New Start, I am sure He is also using him in this great anointed writing. I know that each one who receives this Great Man of God will truly be blessed.
