Hey Flame - (i hope you really do read these)

:: From Bre - in STL :: I want to let you know how your ministry blesses my boys (ages 7 & 9) on a daily. They really look up to you. My oldest, loves to quote the story of Adam and Eve from "our world fallen" even my 3 year old daughter understands that "bad ain't good" lol...anyway, keep pressing, keep fighting, and resisting, and we will continue to lift your wife and you in prayer, as you proceed to perform God's perfect will...we are big fans of yours, and my girl Tiffany also testified to your genuine personality and how humble you are. I am grateful that you chose to do the will of the Father. We need so many more "Flames" burning and shining for Christ! :-) God bless you.

The first time me & my husband lisen to you we was both like wow.Jesus is really using him. I'm going to keep it short.When I listing to mind wars...... only thing I got to say is that when we just think we are by ourselves.... and feel that we can't hold our heads up high,due to mental illness. a year later after listening to the song i'm not as ashame about it like i have been since i was little. PRAISE THE LORD. KEEP LETTING THE LORD USE YOU

I liked the song- Joyful Noise!
God bless you brother and keep the fire burning for Him!

Flame all I can say is wow. I am a 33 year old woman and I fell out with rap before I was called out but with you I fell In love with it all over again the Spirit in you music is amazing Be blessed, and everytime I hear desire in conflict and bad ain't good a full video plays in my mind that if it was to hit Bet I believe it would bring about repentance in a major way

Glory to be the Lord Jesus Christ above all gods. I Thank God for this man of God who minister to me through his ablum and I can relate these the things he coming from and see what he's sees. God bless u man and keep me in prayer man of God. God Bless!

A man I lke you're music first of all I think your a real humbled dude and thats what I can relate with you too. I use to be a gangster and use to have alot hate towards anyone and also life I would also listen to secular music and also treat people like If they did'nt mean nothing and I regret the things and I would also sell drugs and also have enemies and always had to look back outside or in school But then I truly found Jesus Christ and now I don't even have the disires to look back I'm tryna be a christian rapper but I ain't got the economics to do that. But God Bless Ya that was my testimony!!

I grew wild and unruly. I loved sports and the streets equally and I moonlighted as a MC. As I grew collectively I got better at sports, the streets and rapping. However I never knoew anything about God. I didi not come from a home where we went to church. maybe six times in 21 years. I got a scholarship to play ball in college and was prospering but I continued my street mentality untill one night at a club i got into a shoot out and someone was killed. While in jail an old man came and ministered the Gospel to me at that point it was simple. I dedicated my life and as expeceted no one believed me. I would study the scriptures from 11pm through 5am evernight. I was convicted of voluntary mansluaghter and sent to prison for five years. While in prison I studied as much as i could picking up spanish and biblical Greek and Hebrew along the way. I started speaking in schools around a three county range and God was moving the request for me to spaek inschools was outrageous I was still incarcerated . God allowed me to get a job while ibehind the walls and I bought a house and three cars before I was released. I had received numerous awards from speaking while in prison and God even put me on the front page two time while incarcerated. I got married while in prison and not we have three sons. I left my former job as a supervisor to starta transition home for men returning from prison. Even now God is moving I serve as a street minister and help men change their lives daily. I still get out in the street and let your songs Bang hard in the trunk the gangster stop me and say what u listening to preacher I say Gospel. And they want copies God is good. He changed me I went from hating Christians to being a Christ representer. He is good

Hey Flame. Seeing all these different testimonies really motivates me to do bigger and better things in the kingdom. No I'm not a young brotha struggling, I'm actually a young lady, and when I first heard your music, I said to myself "this is what ppl need". Sometimes there are days that I want to give up. And even lately, God put me in a place of aloneness. Like I said I haven't had a life of trouble or struggle. And one day I was riding in my car, and it just seemed like everywhere I turned I was just being let down and I began to just break down and cry. But then God said to me "But I've been there the whole way". And it was then that I knew that He'd never leave me. God really showed me how to trust him more and I just give him all glory. B/c even now I understand that I shouldn't be here, of all the sins that I've done against his will, He yet said yes i'll love you and yes i'll be there for you when no one else is. And I'm a singer, so when I get up to sing I definately worship b/c I know what he's done for me. It's like I look up into Heaven and he's sitting there with arms open wide. He is the Lion and the Lamb. Your music really uplifts and I pray God blesses you, and just uses you more than He already has. Just keep giving glory to Him and credit to Him, He'll have His way in your life!

My name is Alejandro and this is how I came to know Jesus Christ. I was an average teenage boy in this world or atleast what i thought every teenage boy was about. I loved money, sex, and drugs. I lived to get high and get money. Until my older brother Enrique who was a Christian started to talk to me about Jesus. But I was caught up in my ways and caught up heavily in a hip hop culture, which teaches nothing but wickedness. I never wanted to hear about this Jesus he talked about. I had my own Jesus….one who loved me all the time. Even the times he wouldn’t truly approve of.
My brother knowing that I wasn’t trying to hear what he was trying to tell me introduced me to a Christian rap group called 116 Clique. This group is a group of born-again Christians who are not ashamed of the gospel and there method of getting the Good News out was through rap music.
But me being stuck in my ways I was so sure that there was nothing to life than making money and taking care of my own personal needs….or what I thought were my needs. I didn’t give this group any time or any thought. At this point my brother moved to Delaware and was able to come over and visit more often. He invited me to a 116 Clique concert in Florida. So of course I decided to go, I mean, its Florida, why not?!?! During this concert I saw the passion these guys have and they weren’t even cursing, or talking about sex…. THEY WERE TALKING AND RAPPING ABOUT JESUS!!!! After the concert the members of the group invited anyone who wanted to know more about the Gospel message backstage. So I figured, why not? (Not knowing what would happen back there). When I got back there, there were about 20 to 30 teens back there and before the rappers started to talk to us they made It very clear that they weren’t back there to sign any autographs. They were there to introduce people to Christ. At this point, more than half of the teens got up and left and I thought to myself, wow, this is something serious!
So the DJ started to talk about the message of the cross and what Jesus did for my life and I began to feel convicted. I broke down into tears and tears poured down my face. Then one of the rappers came up to me and took me into a corner. He held me in his arms as we began to read scripture and prayed. Leaving that night I felt new and fresh but going back to Virginia I had no true change of heart. I started going to barber school and got involved with a group of guys who were much more older that I was. Some were even married but they were interested in the weed, money and sex like I was, so they embraced me and I was feeling on top of the world. A 16 year old boy, chilling with 25 year old men, going to bars, doing new things I had no business doing. In turn, my friends from high school started to distant themselves from me and I started to distant myself from them because I was now hanging around these new guys. As time went on these older guys started to see a change in me. I’m not hanging around them like I use to. I’m not picking up girls like I use to. Now these older guys started to distant themselves from me and I’m now feeling like there was something wrong with me.
I’m no longer this cocky, loud, arrogant guy, so now no one is attracted to me anymore. No one is down with me and those things I use to love so much now was becoming old and I was starting to hate those things. During this period of time my brother was visiting more and more and I even now had a nephew. I’m now faced with more and more responsibilities and I’m beginning to feel as though this is too much to handle…….. so I turned to smoking weed to ease the pain and calm my mind. But I realized that after the high was gone, my problems were still there and they were the same ones. My brother was always constantly telling me to turn to Jesus but I still didn’t want to. Then on one of his visits to Virginia we got into an emotional argument and he could see how these things were driving me crazy and how I was looking for love and answers in all the wrong places. But I just wouldn’t listen. So he wrote me a letter letting me know that basically no matter what I’ve done or no matter what I’m going through, Jesus will never turn away from me and this letter he wrote really impacted me more than any words he could’ve said to me. This letter really caught my attention, especially after the argument we had. Along with the letter my brother wrote to me, he also bought me a book called “Every young man is God’s man” and I promised him that I would read it, and that is what I did. In doing so I started getting into the Bible more and more and learning more about God and realizing his plan for my life. I just needed to submit! I could no longer go on with my life without God being a part of it and on April 10, 2009 I cried out to the Lord and asked him to have my life and change my heart! On that day I felt the Lord wrap his arms around me as I prayed in the dark inside my closet and since then I have been on fire for the Lord. I’ve been seeking him more and more, growing in him more and more and learning to become more and more obedient to him by submitting to Him and his Word!
I will never be the same again…. My heart has been changed and it is a work of God. I am now a new creature in Christ Jesus thanks to the grace and mercy of God!

Flame, you are truly doing God's work. Your music has gotten me through some tough times. Songs like "Hold on" bring me to tears everytime I listen to it. I love you dude, and keep up the great work for Lord Jesus.
