Getting Ready for the New

Yes I'm so excited about this NEW SEASON in my life. I'm so thankful for this New Year that GOD has giving to me. I'm excited about the NEW CD that I'm working on. It's coming out HOT.  Fresh New FIRE!!! God said sing a new song unto him and that's what I'm doing. I'm writing and recording New songs. Recently I performed one of my NEW songs "MY GOD" in church and the congregation went wild. I'm was so encouraged and blessed. Then I got a prophetic word for the 3rd time GOD's telling me to write a book. That's right people look out for my NEW BOOK it will blow your mind the things I will be uncovering. I didn't come up with a title yet, but I feel the CD and BOOK will be connected with topics I'm writing about. 

God never ceases to amaze me. He's full of so many wonders and miracles for us all. As we take our affections off the things (lust of flesh, lust of eyes & pride of life) of this world. We will see GOD do some mighty things for us. He said in the last days HIS spirit will fall upon all flesh. Will you be in the number? Make sure your name is written down in the LAMBS book of LIFE. 

Here's a pic of me in Far Rockaway before Hurricane Sandy hit the area hard destroying many homes leaving thousands homeless.  I go there twice a week to work with children in foster care. It's a very rewarding experience but could be difficult at times. Please keep me and residents of Far Rockaway in your prayers as I continue to minister to the children out there. 

Thank You!

It feels so good to be back in the studio recording my next project. It's been a very long hiatus for me. I've had to persevere through some difficult times, but GOD has been faithful and He never leaves us nor forsakes us no matter how stubborn we can be at times. I've been linking up with some great producers and they have been sending me tracks to write to. I'm so thankful and excited about the new songs GOD has given to me and I know they will be a tremendous blessing for my listeners. I haven't come up with a final name for the new project yet, but I would say the songs are very inspiring and motivating. Today I was thinking of calling it "PERSEVERANCE" but I have not made a final decision on that yet. I hope to have the project release early next year if not sooner so keep me in your prayers that God helps me to get it done soon. I've been recording with LOGIC and I'm using the Neuman U87 mic which is one of the best in the world for any vocalist to have the pleasure to record with. I'm looking for some musicians and producers to collaborate with so if you play acoustic guitar, bass, electric guitar, violin, piano or any other instrument you think will sound good with HIP HOP then contact me on my facebook (Keith Craig Allen) or go LIKE my page http://www.facebook.com/CraigSOG and send me a message. Also my phone number is 718 316 3175.  I will also be shooting some music videos soon and I'm looking for camera people, extras, video editors, and general help for getting HOT videos done. If that's you reach out to me as well. Also pay a visit to my site http://www.CraigSOG.com you can find most of the projects I've produced there and buy a copy. Also I will have links there soon for the purchase of BNB T-Shirts which have been a favorite for many over the years. I'm sure some of you would like to order a fresh new one. Hoodies will be available also for the new fall and winter season. Follow me on instagram at Craig_SOG. SHALOM!!!!

The Discipline of Honesty

I was blessed by this Word in church so I decided to share it. Be blessed!

Truth is necessary for real healing to occur in our lives

You are as sick as the secrets that you keep. Find someone to pray with if you have a confession to make so GOD can heal you completely James 5:16 Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. 

Truth confronts sin and hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is living in duplicity. Duplicity is living on the outside what your not being on the inside. 

We are stopped in our healing to the degree we are honest

When confronted Saul hid

When David was confronted he confessed. And there was a major difference on how GOD was able to move in their lives based on their honesty. 

As Long as we conceal we won't be healed

True LOVE requires Truth

If a person is not truthful about themselves they can't be loved because they present themselves as being abc when they are really xyz. What happens is they feel they are never loved because they never presented their true self. So it becomes a self fullfilling prophecy.

When a person seduces they dehumanize themselves

Hypocrisy comes from the world of acting the putting on of the mask

Hypocrites who put on an act rob themselves of True love

I John 1

6 So we are lying if we say we have fellowship with God but go on living in spiritual darkness; we are not practicing the truth. 7 But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.

Truth is tied to our fellowship with GOD and with oneanother

Truth brings us into right fellowship with oneanother

Some religious circles relate in untruth. They don't allow space for a person to be real they want everyone to act as though everything is all good like there's not problems going on when inside people are something else. They potraying themselves one way in church but act different outside 

Be honest in prayer 

Some people liet to GOd while praying to HIm. 

Make your prayer Col 2:13 You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins. 14 He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. 15 In this way, he disarmed[d] the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross.
