The LORD's Response to Solomon If I close the sky so there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send a plague among My people, and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land. Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.

Thank you for being obedient to follow God's purpose for your Successful Life. If you follow God's plan you will always be successful. The first thing that God wants us to do is to obey Him. How can we do this? By Listening to His Word to develop our Faith in Him. We all know that faith comes by hearing the Word of God. Matthew 6:33 says: But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. So, we know if we Seek God and His Righteousness, we can't go wrong. Romans 8:28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. Do You Know your Purpose? God gave us a Title, a Ministry and a Job. God gave us a title: acts 1:8 He called us to be a witness. He gave us a ministry 2 Corinthians 53:18 the ministry of reconciliation. and He gave us a job 2 Tim 4:2. It was to preach the word of God.

The story you are about to read is true to life. I've experienced so much drama in my life that I couldn't write it all down in one sitting. After receiving positive criticism from many people who read my first 2 books, "Brother Lew Life or Death", and "Who the Son Sets Free" I decided to write my books in a series. People are still asking me if there is going to be a movie based on my life. The series include: 35 Years Sober, Breaking the Strongholds of Addiction, "Thug Life 2 Hip Hop", "13 Years In-The Belly of the Beast" and others. In these books, I write about my life growing up without a Father, being a Father, and living with the Father. I write about Hip Hop and its' effects on our youth. I write about what parents can learn if they want to truly communicate with their teens or young adults. I'm from the Bronx and it's the birthplace of Hip Hop, so anyone that is 40, 50 or 60 years old that grew up in the Bronx knows about Hip Hop, as well as the positive messages that started it all. I write about what I did to keep me sane, sober and straight. I want to assure everyone who reads these books to have an open mind and to understand that I do not give the enemy any glory by reliving my past. I relive it the way it was, not to offend anyone, but to allow others that have gone through what I have, that there is hope. It is the truth and if you're offended remember that the truth will set you free.

I want to set the tone for this book by giving you some history, so that you can understand the reason that I am writing this particular book. I give no credit to the enemy that had infiltrated in various parts of my life, but I must tell it the way it was or no one will be able to identify or benefit from it. The enemy had a stronghold on my life until I found the truth and the truth had set me free. This book was produced for the purpose of outreach for the lost, evangelism for the needy, and encouragement for the body. We encourage the body to use this book to reach out to people in jails, juvenile detention centers, prisons, rehab centers, hospices, hospitals, the armed forces, colleges, schools, or the streets. I will not sugar-coat anything that happened in my life, am I ashamed of my sin, absolutely, but that is why it is good to tell the truth because the truth will set you free. I give God all the Honor and Glory for what He has done in my life, and I'm thrilled to call Him my Lord and Savior.We must remember that tomorrow isn't promised to us, so let's reach out to the lost today, door-to-door, city-to-city, and nation-to-nation. God bless you.
