Rev.
Timothy Wright Speaks Sunday, October 12th, Rev. Timothy Wright made his greatest public appearance since a tragic July 4th car accident that claimed the life of his grandson and wife, and left his body broken and paralyzed from the chest down. At the Circle of Sisters Expo sponsored by WLIB, his hometown New York radio station, Rev. Wright expressed his gratitude and gave his testimony to 3,000 people packed into the concert hall of the Javits Convention Center. As the crowd hushed to listen attentively, he spoke slower than classic Timothy Wright, but it was clear and powerful, ending with his declaration, "The next time you see me, I'm gonna be walking. God bless you.
" The once silent crowd erupted in praise and applause as they wiped tears and snapped pictures. After addressing his New York family, Rev. Wright joined WLIB Program Director, Midday Personality, Denise Hill, at a live broadcast for his first radio interview since the accident.
DH: You have always been an inspiration to us through your music and you said God recently gave you a new song. And so, even in whatever state the enemy thinks he may have you in, God's giving you new songs that will not only bless and bring you through but continue to bless others. Tell us about this newest song God gave you.
TW: Well, I was in the hospital and I was kind of feeling sorry for myself, but then the Spirit spoke to me and said, "I'm still here...for a reason." So, after all is said an done, after all the troubles and trial, after all the tears, I'm still here for a reason.
DH: I think the latter of that is the part a lot of people leave out. "I'm still here" and they kind of get stuck there. But its for a reason. So you can't just sit on the testimony that I made it through. You have to get through and go forth....

TW: Absolutely.
DH: ...and now be productive in the earth.
Other than music and the songs God's giving you, what do you see God doing through you in the future? TW: Well, I see the Lord showing me how to share with people that no matter what you lose, no matter what you go through, God is always there right by your side. Friends may leave you, loved ones may leave you, but the Lord is always there.
DH: "Whose on the Lord's Side," "Trouble Don't Last Always"...which one of the older songs that He's birthed through you have been a blessing during this time?

TW: I Know Somehow, I know some way, we're gonna make it. That's been taking me through.
DH:0Ah yes, with Myrna Summers. That is a phenomenal song. Your book...Whose Really on the Lord's Side...I'm expecting, through all of this, there will be a volume 2 as well?

TW: Absolutely.
DH: Has He given you a title yet?

TW: I don't know. I don't know just yet.
DH: Many of us have dates, hours, minutes in our life that we can look back and that was the moment things changed. That was the day life was not the same. That was the time I was in a place of uncertainty and did not know where I was going to go from here. July the 4th was one of those days for you.
TW: Um hmm.
DH: DJ was a phenomenal grandson to you, growing, learning...tell us about DJ.
TW: DJ was my first grandson and he was 14 years old and when we went to Detroit, that was the first time that I allowed him and his parents allowed him to go on the road with me and he was so happy to be with his grand dad. And, ah... that's all I remember.
DH: And that is enough. You can leave a legacy at any age and that is the legacy he left and that we honor. And your wife, the author of Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, your rock for so many years in business=2 0and in the pulpit.
For those who were not fortunate enough to know Co-Pastor Betty Wright, what legacy do we need to honor concerning her? TW: She was somebody special. She was my rock. I could lean on her and depend on her and I didn't lose her...because I know where she is now. I am thankful God is sustaining me through all the trials.
DH: Talk about some of the people who have been there from the beginning. Bishop Albert Jamison, Hezekiah Walker, Donnie McClurkin...

TW: Bishop Jamison has been so supportive. He has been right there for me. Pastor Hezekiah and Pastor McClurkin, and all the pastors here and around the country has been so supportive with their prayers and their finances and I am truly grateful. Truly, truly grateful.
DH: Say something to your WLIB family who loves you so much.
TW: To you sis Denise, I thank you for all that you've done and all that the radio station has done and I want you to know that I am very grateful. I want you to know that I am very grateful for everything that has been done for me. Continue to pray for me. Continue to hold me up in prayer.
DH: If you had to preach this morning what would you have preached?

TW: I'm still here for a reason.
At the end of the radio interview, Rev. Wright greeted fans and well wisher for an hour before returning to the Kessler Rehabilitation Center where he continues to progress.
Denise Hill can be heard Monday through Friday on 1190 WLIB and www. WLIB. com.

Answered Prayer
Faith-based confessions bring into existence those things God has promised. As you confess what God says about you, the evidence will manifest (Isaiah 44:26). Here are some confessions to help to establish your faith for answered prayer.

In the name of Jesus, I declare that I have a blood-bought right to answered prayer. The Word of God is my guarantee. Father, by prayer, supplication and with thanksgiving, I can make my requests known to You. You hear the prayer of the righteous and answer them. Your eyes are on me and Your ears are open to hear my prayers.

I am connected to Christ Jesus, and I am anointed. In everything I do I am more than a conqueror. Because I abide in You, and Your Word abides in me, I see the manifestation of answered prayer. When I speak Your Word, it does not return without accomplishing what it was sent to do.

Lord, I thank You that I walk in favor with man and with You. Wherever I go and whatever I do, Your favor goes before me. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous person avails much. Therefore, I believe I receive what I pray for right now. In Jesus' name, Amen!

Sunday, October 19, 2008 Sharing my devotional this afternoon from the Daily Word. Being true to Spirit within, we are magnificent, unfolding creations of God. Because of our diverse, unique features, talents, and backgrounds, we each fill a special place in life. At times we may wonder how we fit into what seems like a jigsaw puzzle of humanity. Yet being true to Spirit within each of us, we are magnificent, unfolding creations of God. We complete one another by being a unique part of the whole. No one person can take the place of another. Being unique in the way we think, look, and sound, we add substance to the entirety of God's family. When all the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle are in place, the true picture emerges. So it is with each one of us. As unique as we are, we join with one another as the family of God. "Because you are precious in my sight, and honored, and I love you, I give people in return for you, nations in exchange for your life." Isaiah 43:4

Praise ye the Lord praise God in his sanctuary ;praise him in the franment of his power;
Praies him for his myghty acts praise him according to his excellent greatnes;
Praise him with the sound of the trumpet ; praise him with the psaltery ans harp ;
Praise him with the timbrel and dance praise him with stringed instruments and organs
Praise him upon the loud cymbals praise him upon the high sounding cymbals
Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord ; Praise ye the Lord

psalms ; 150
