I post this video in the discussion section instead of just as another video because of all I have been through over the past months and especially the last three- four weeks! While I'm looking over the site today handling some of the admistrative chores and listening to this song it has a whole new meaning for me like I am just hearing it for the very first time!
This is a song of testimonial power because the power of God is channeled trough the man of God Marvin Sapp in song. It was God with him walking through the fire that made him come out as a conquerer and than the song was written, God gave him the words of the song at the altar, on the Sunday after he eulogized his father. It's built upon a simple refrain: "Never would have made it, never could have made it, without you."
He wasn't even goin to put it on the album it was thereputic for him. I have heard this song a million times, but somehow today looking over the site seeing what's goin on here, and where it goin and what this has the potential of being and reflecting on everything I just come thru and all God is blessing me with now, it's like I'm hearing this song, these words for the very first time.
I had to go get the video and watch it and then post it here as a discussion for everyone. Give everyone here a chance to share!
I wanna hear what you think of the song, what you thought you would have never made it thru and how GOD brought you thru. I'm getting alot of email and prayer request from people goin thru some very real storms right this very minute and think there is no way they can survive em, some wanan give up, so just dont know where to turn and you never know how your testimony might give them the strength to go on
So I ask you now, share your testimony for all those who need to hear it, for those who need to know their is light at the end of the tunnel, who cant see an end in sight. Sometimes we need to hear from those who have gone thru it already, who can releate to what we are feeling at this moment. Not only will you bless someone you will be blessed for it!
Take a minute and PRAISE GOD and tell how you thought you never would of made it but how GOD brought you thru it!
Oh Lord Jesus has brought me through so much, you just don't know - stuff i can only share with him. When I get brave enough I'll post in the open. but he brought me through so much. Praise God.
Praise God! I neva would have made it without him truly I would have lost my mind! I am so grateful that he loves me the way he does and that he has enough love to give to each one of us individually. Exactly the dosage we need. Truly God is doing great things on this site and we will be able to look back on this and say because He allowed this to come into existance it has made us stronger, wiser, better much better... For without him leading and guiding us in our endeavors we neva would have made it! To Brotha AJ I say keep ya head up.. Know that God has his hands on this and he never fails! You shall be and will be wiser, stronger, and better so much better. Keep holding on to him for he is truly the one who will keep you from falling.
Be Blessed and Know that God is God--The Almighty -Most High
Jehovah Jireh & Jehovah Shalom--
Jah Bless like only you can

I Made It, but I Ain’t got It Made
By Marion Jones
Bible Study taught by Pastor James
I’ve been up and I’ve been down
I’ve been turned every which way, in circles, round and round
I’ve stumbled and fell flat on my face, more than I can count
I got back up scratched and bruised, but not out.
I made it, but I ain’t got It made
I’m fighting this battle for my life, to stay clean
To live right, by the Word and what it means
There’s a spiritual warfare, that’s going on right now
Taking us one by one, you don’t know when and you don’t how
I made it, but I ain’t got it made
Understand Who’s you are and who you are
Not getting to uppity, to comfortable, doing what you want to do, taking it a little too far
Realizing that He is Lord and because if Him you are here
Stop walking and acting like you have nothing to fear
I made it, but I ain’t got it made
I Made It
Because He died for me
He took the beatings, the tortures to set me free
He was born for that reason, so He could die
Would you sacrifice yourself for someone else at the blink of an eye?
Yea, I Made It… but
Not to turn back after where He brought me from
There are more like me out there and there’s work to be done
To hold up the blood stained banner and let my light shine through
So you can see what He did for me, He will also do for you
I Made It
I Made It
Yes, I Made It…
He’s still working in me and with me, a work in progress
But I Ain't got it made
To God Be the Glory for ALL the Things HE has done!!!
This song along with "Be Blessed" By Bishop Paul S. Morton are my Mottos for 2008.
I know that 2008 is not over, but WHEW - He Has brought me through this year thus far!
As the song says: I would of lost my mind and gave up, but HE was right there! Glory! That along makes me SHOUT and Praise HIM!
I always reflect over my year on my B'day in Nov. to see where HE has brought me from during that year, and MAN do I have a LOT to reflect on for 2008, but in closing... I am STRONGER! WISER! Much BETTER, and still GROWING!
Thanks for the opportunity to comment...
It is all about HIS-STORY in our lives (heart, soul and mind)!!!
Stay focused on God and your Goals/Desires will come to past!!! (In HIS time)...
Thank You very much RJ for sharing your testimony with us, all I will say is I can truly relate, more than mere words can express! I pray God will continue to smile on you and bless you in your every endeavor and bless you with all your wants, needs and desires.
