My Testimony Jewel Blackshear

In My Testimony, I open my closet to give you a glimpse of some of the pitfalls, pain, and adversities that I experienced. I also share how I was victorious in overcoming adversity after I learned to take ownership for my actions. I share how I accepted my charge to make the appeal that folks stop doing wrong and calling it right. My heartfelt desire for you is that you exercise Godly wisdom to avoid some pitfalls that can cause much trauma and significant drama. The key to avoiding some of the major painful experiences is to completely trust God. He stands ready to grant us the desires of our hearts; however, we tie his hands through our willful acts of disobedience to his Word, his way, and his will. In some instances, it took me a long time to obtain wisdom because, for so long, I insisted on being stuck on stupid. For too long, I was determined to do things my way. I did not give any serious thoughts to the devastating consequences to me and to those connected to me. In My Testimony, I candidly reveal my exposure to major church hurt. There is no hurt like church hurt. But I survived it, and I want you to know that so can you. Those tests serve to make you better, not bitter! I learned that forgiveness is a matter of the heart. My experiences have given me the ability to be bold, real, transparent, and explicit in my appeal to encourage folks to abandon their evil and wicked ways. God is not mocked! The Word of God is clear in that we will reap what we sow! I share with you how I learned to allow God to come into my life and super rule, trusting him unconditionally with my life for he is my creator and he knows what is best for me. I want to encourage believers to be true followers of Christ-living a life that is pleasing and acceptable in the sight of God.
