I found out about Erica’s testimony from tweet sent by Crissy to several people, including Crystal in which in her response piqued my interest on what the heck she was talking about.

Man, I love social networking.

Now Crystal has Crissy as a guest blogger this week sharing her testimony in the post, Guest Blogger: Porn Star.

No matter what you can throw at God, He is almighty and all powerful and completely invulnerable to the best you can give to Him.  However, He can’t destroy it until you throw it at Him.

All He wants you to do is give up and let Him take care of everything.

Read Crissy’s post and leave some love over there.

Anybody who has read my testimony knows that this will hit really closer to home:

Club Erica Campbell

I am very familiar with her name and her career.

What is wonderful is that I see her picture now and she looks nothing like she did. She has beauty that could only come from Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour.

As my spirit cries out in joy, what else can I do but praise His holy name.

Who is like our God and who dares to even compare to Him.

Let me tell you how my last 5 minutes unraveled

Gmail shows I have an email from Classmates.com.

I thought, “This might be legit because back in 1996 I halfway filled out a profile before realizing I wasn’t going to pay a fee per month just to look up old classmates of mine.”

Alas, I didn’t have a Gmail account then.  In fact, no one did.  Gmail wasn’t around until 2004.

No alarms.

In this email was a link to Blogger website.  “Umm,” I wondered, “that is a mystery because how could somebody spam their blog to people who have merely halfway registered with Classmates.”

Now all the geeks reading this have the spam/phish alarms going off in their heads.  I swear I have those same alarms.  I hope I do after being a professional geek for 15 years

Alas, just wonderment.

No alarms.

Clicked on link.  End result: porn.

In the past, I would have been furious at several things.  One, naturally being my own stupidity.  Two, at Gmail for their recently weakened spam filters.

But in one split nanosecond, I ceased to become angry because I quickly realized one thing:

I couldn’t see past the top 25 pixels on the site.

From just the top of the website, I knew it was porn.  Without having to look at the rest of the website page, I calmly click the Close Tab x in Firefox.

Then I shared with my boss and co-workers.  Apparently, I am going to Geek Jail for being so lame.

Sixty-four days since the day that God sent an answer to prayer.

I knew when I wrote that post that something was going to happen. I didn’t know what but I knew God was in control.

In that time, my faith in…

God answering all of my questions

God being my Healer

God being my Portion

God being my Strength

God being my Joy

Forever

… has only not been moved but has only solidified to the point I simply don’t know of any other way, that is, God is not my Healer or God is not my Portion.

Even still, I can’t even accept the fact that God is even sometimes my Healer, Portion, Strength or Joy even when I don’t do good works because that flies in the face of what I know God to be: the same yesterday, today and forever.

My brain cannot accept any other fact because it is all I know. It is a fact, like we breathe air in order for our bodies to function or 2+2=4, that God is my everything and all in all.

On top of all that, God spoke into me gifts of leadership, discernment and visions/dreams. He spoke that I will be remarried soon (was never at the forefront of my thoughts but God’s will is His will). He spoke that I will shake this planet.

Only God gets the glory. I don’t want any part of it because I am not even close to being worthy. Even I wanted it, I am still not worthy.

In the last 64 days, I used to think that God will move. Now I know He will.

How, I am not sure.

No matter what will happens, I am still utterly dependent on who His is in me.

Let us see what happens.

A lot of the songs written at Gateway Church are written out of the things God is doing in our church body. We want our songs to capture the heartbeat of the church and bring a connection point between the people and our message. “Real” is an example of such a song. Our church was in a series called “Real.” This series encapsulated the relevance and importance of being a witness to the world. Together we learned that witnessing is not far off and hokey, it’s simply telling your story of God’s faithfulness in your life. No one can argue with your story and your story can turn hearts toward God.

When our worship team first heard about this series, our executive worship pastor, Sion Alford and I decided to sit down and write a song about it so our church would have an anthem to sing during this sermon series. We wanted to portray a story of how God has changed us and empowered us to change others. In just a matter of a few hours we had a finished song, and within a few days our church embraced it as their own.

I wanted to take a couple of excerpts from this bulletin on MySpace from Gateway Worship on their new album, Wake Up The World, which is released this week nationwide. Lyrics, tabs, chords are available for download at Gateway Worship. A muxtape will accompanying this series of perspectives. - Ed.
