From our Apostles:

Long ago, I started reading a small 48-page book on

healing called By Jesus’ 39 Stripes We Were Healed

by Walter A. Straughan.

Day by day I meditated on it and many healings hap-

pened, including problems with my equilibrium, a

damaged facial nerve, heart attacks, tumors, gum

disease and glaucoma.

I rejected sickness of any kind and will do whatever

necessary to be healed. Through it all I finally came

to truly understand that it takes the Word of God and

faith working in me daily to maintain my healing.

Now when Satan tries to attack my body with ail-

ments, I lay hands on myself confessing the healing

scriptures over and over until I receive it, giving

thanks to our Father in Yahshua’s name. One of the

scriptures I use is Stripe #1 from the book, I Peter

2:24: “Who his own self bare our sins in his own

body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should

live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye (we)

were healed.”

Realizing what Yahshua has already done by receiv-

ing those 39 stripes for our healing, why, why, why

not receive my healing? It is truly a gift from

Yahshua.

Welcome Garnett Family!Welcome Garnett Family! Kamayah PorterKamayah Porter

The Garnett family joined the TYC family in July 2013. Brother J and his wife

Lalita Garnett have two daughters, Lailani and Lanaila.

Brother J currently works at the University of Phoenix as a Higher Ed Admin-

istrator; and Sister Lalita works at Richland County public services.

Brother J is originally from Augusta and Sister Lalita from Ridgeland. They

now reside in the northeast area of Columbia. The Garnett’s said that they de-

cided to join the Temple of Yahshua because it “provides spiritual accommo-

dations for the whole family.”

We extend a warm welcome to the Garnett family!

Luke 4:18 reads as follows: The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath

sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the

blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

Jesus came to set the captives free in every area of our lives and healing is one of those areas.

Healing comes with salvation. Once we are born again, by His stripes, we are healed according to Isaiah

53:5. Once we are born again, we must live a life that is pleasing to God.

Exodus 23:25 says if we serve the Lord our God, he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take

sickness away from the midst of thee (us). If we continue to keep His commandments, we will live a fruit-

ful and productive and health life.

A Fairytale Nightmare A Fairytale Nightmare Brittany J. DanielsBrittany J. Daniels

Theirs was the classic love story. A real-

life Black Barbie and Ken. They were edu-

cated, popular and hopeful. They met, dated

and he proposed. Like the rest of their rela-

tionship, their wedding was beautifully flaw-

less. The princess married Prince Charming.

Their “castle” was a quaint 2-bedroom apart-

ment on the 2nd floor. They were happy,

holding hands, and in love.

It was hard to imagine that just two short

weeks later, he used the hand she once held

to grab the back of her neck and drag her up

those same stairs. A few days after that, he

pushed her into a wall. Soon thereafter he

held her face down into a pillow until she

stopped crying. Sometime after that he threw

all her clothes out on the balcony, telling her

to get out of his life. To her, it was all a stun-

ning blur. How had this happened?

Looking back, it is impossible to even

recall what had provoked these rages of vio-

lent fury, when the fairy tale turned to a

nightmare. She remembered the day she went

to the store after work without telling him in

advance. He accused her of cheating, and

made her show time-stamped receipts from

then on to prove where she had been. Then

there was the time when he told her not to

turn on the heat in the apartment to save

money on bills. In the winter, she wore layers

upon layers of clothes at home, but could not

shake the chill, so she turned on the heat.

She had defied him, the head of the house-

hold. When he got home, he snapped and

shredded all of their wedding photos. She

cried and pleaded with him not to, but he

insisted that it was all trash because she was

not a real wife. What wife would defy her

husband? Centimeters from her face, he spit

and screamed that she was the devil. She

knew it had to be her fault. That’s what he

told her—that it was her fault, she wasn’t a

good wife. And she believed him. To her,

he was still her Prince Charming. She be-

came less than a princess—a peasant of sorts.

She had to do something to repair her mar-

riage.

She painted on a smile and pretended all

was well. She changed for him. She became

who he wanted her to be. She quickly real-

ized that her best still wasn’t good enough.

She was getting dressed for work one day

and noticed how big all of her clothes

seemed to be. It was then that she realized

that she hadn’t been eating. The stress, the

pain, the despair, the abuse was taking its

toll, and there was no end in sight. Like a

zombie she drove to work over the familiar

bridge. She thought for a split second about

driving over the side, ending it all, to show

her Prince Charming how he had destroyed

her. But God. God showed her a glimpse of

her former self. The princess she once was

had been abused and was wounded. But God

reminded her of His promise to never leave,

to make her the head, to fight all her battles,

to provide all her needs that she may have

life more abundantly. She knew then that if

she did not turn over her husband and her

marriage to the Lord, she would surely die.

And she decided then to live, to let go, and to

let God.

The turning point began like any other

fight. She could not exactly say what she

had done to anger her husband so, but in the

midst of his rage she ran into the bathroom

and locked the door. The hands she once

held banged on the door with his fists, and

she cried and shook in despair. Suddenly all

was quiet. She began to breathe, slowly and

deliberately. She felt an eerie calm. Just as

abruptly as the banging had stopped, it start-

ed up again, but this sound was different. It

was no longer his hands on the door, but a

hammer. He used all of his strength to try to

get through the door with the hammer. He

was yelling incoherently, something about

hating her. Her eyes darted about the bath-

room, and with nothing there she could use to

protect herself from her hammer-wielding

husband, she prayed:

God, if you let me live through this, I

will leave and never look back. I’m sorry I

put him before You. I thought everything was

good, and did not see the need to pray. I’m

sorry, Lord. I needed You then, in my good

times, just like I need You now! I trust You,

God, to save me like You promised You

would! Now, God, give me the words to say

to calm his anger.

And He did. And she left, with no mon-

ey, just her car and some clothes. Most im-

portantly, she left with her life and her sanity.

It was over; she was safe.

She is a different person now. Yes, more

mature, wiser, but also she knows God to be

a life-saver because He saved her life. She

knows God to be a restorer because He re-

stored her mind, body, heart and soul. She

knows God to be an on-time God because He

stepped in on time for her. She knows that

troubles and trials only come to make us

strong, and she is stronger. She knows to be

aware and alert to the ever-present, subtle

warning signs of trouble. She knows to live

for her. She should have left a long time ago,

but there was always someone else to think

about. What would this person think? How

can I face so-and-so? However, so-and-so

was not on that bridge or in that bath-

room...only she and God were. So now, she

lives for Him because when you know better,

you do better. And she is doing much better.

A Word on Forgiveness Forgiveness through the Forgiveness through the

Blood Blood Apostle Juanita FordApostle Juanita Ford

Scripture References:

In whom we have redemption through His blood, the

forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His

grace. -Ephesians 1:7

In whom we have redemption through His blood, even

the forgiveness of sins. -Colossians 1:14

The scriptures teach us to establish everything in the

mouth of two or three witnesses. The two scriptures

given are to build your faith on to operate in FOR-

GIVENESS GOD’S WAY. This can only come

through the blood that Jesus shed for us on Calvary for

we are looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our

faith. We must remember that God forgives us and then

He challenges us to forgive one another just as He for-

gives us. Our will must be like God’s to forgive be-

cause He is righteous.

In my own life I had to practice these scriptures on

different occasions:

Forgiving myself when I do something that

doesn’t line up with the will and purpose of

the Heavenly Father

In my relationship with my husband

In my relationship with my church family

My natural family

My co-workers

Since my will is to do the will of the Father, I must use

the Word of God. For instance Psalm 119:165 says,

Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing

shall offend them. Let’s keep our minds on the Word

of God and the power of the blood.

Love + Forgiveness Love + Forgiveness Prophet Reggie LloydProphet Reggie Lloyd1ST TIME CONTRIBUTOR

How can one forgive without having the love of God in

their hearts? The two must go hand-in-hand; you cannot

do one without the other.

When someone has wronged you, it is your responsibil-

ity to forgive them, love them, respect them and forget

about what was done or said that you may have felt was

offensive to you. (Let’s not forget we have been bought

with a price and we no longer belong to ourselves.) For

the word says in 1 Peter 4:8 Love covers a multitude of

sin. There goes that word again (LOVE). Again, HOW

CAN WE FORGIVE WITHOUT LOVE?

So many times I have told myself that I have forgiven an

individual for wronging me. I spoke it out my mouth and

tried fooling myself that I forgave that individual, but

subconsciously the unforgiveness still lingered. If we all

are honest with ourselves, we all have experienced this.

You may ask yourself or tell others, "how can I forgive

them for what they have done?" You want justice served

because injustice was done to you. Well let me give you

two encouraging words on how you can handle this:

LOVE THEM and FORGIVE THEM. Matthew 5:44 is a

recipe to help your spiritual life rise to the potential that

God wants it to be. Be blessed.

Praise Yah (God), I would like to talk about this

awesome auxiliary that I am proud to be a part of.

This auxiliary does not mind going into the enemy’s

territory and tearing its kingdom down. Our unique

approach is something to be reckoned with. Our

quest for victory over the enemy stemmed from

reading the word of Yah on how to be victorious

through songs (2 Chronicles 20:1-29). We fully un-

derstand that the praise we extend to God through

music confuses the enemy. This blessed, anointed,

kind, loving and extraordinary auxiliary that I am

proud to announce is none other than the awesome

TYC Music Ministry.

TYC’s music ministry consists of a few members

who do not mind giving praise to the One whom

praises are due: our Lord and Savior Yahshua Christ.

The music ministry rehearses the second through the

fourth Tuesday of each month from 7-8:30 p.m. The

praise team meets on the first Tuesday of every

month from 7-8:30 p.m. here in the sanctuary. Our

goal is to usher the presence of Yah into the sanctu-

ary as well as ushering the people into a worship

experience that will bring healing and deliverance.

I (Prophet Reggie) praise Yah for giving me the

opportunity of being one of the leaders over this

great auxiliary. Prophet Waylon Gibson also works

closely with me into taking this music ministry to the

next level in Yahshua Christ. I dare not forget to

thank each choir member and musician who gives of

themselves to be a part of this auxiliary. I pray that

your labor will not be in vain and that our Father will

continually bless each of you for your faithfulness

and love to the TYC music ministry.

Those of you who do not mind giving Yah the praise

and are interested in becoming a member TYC’s

anointed choir, please see myself (Prophet Reggie

Lloyd) or Prophet Waylon Gibson and let us know

your heart’s desire. It is our desire to make a JOY-

FUL noise unto the LORD.

Greater Than, A Review Greater Than, A Review Whitney GrantWhitney Grant

Praise the Lord Saints! If you don’t already know, Tye Tribbett released his

new album, Greater Than, on August 6, 2013 and boy is it the business!1 The

CD consists of twelve songs all of which were good and oily2! The CD fea-

tures music that incorporates both acoustic and electric instrumentation with

prominent percussions. The lead vocalist is Tye Tribbett with the exception

of one song, and is accompanied by the great harmonization of his backup

singers. Even though there were a couple songs that were not my favorite,

there were none that I just flat out could not vibe with. Some fan favorite

songs include “You are Everything”, “You are Good”, “If He did it before…

Same God”3, “Better”, and “He turned it”. However, in my opinion, the best

song is “What can I do” written by upcoming artist KJ Scriven. The words

are so simple but the meaning and power behind the lyrics is what gives it

the ability to send anyone on a one-way ticket to worship mode! Neverthe-

less, I digress; overall I give this CD the green light. Whoever buys this will

not be disappointed so hurry up and get your copy now! Editor’s Note: 1. An expression meaning awesome or

great. 2. An expression meaning anointed or heavily

anointed. 3. When the song ends, turn your volume all

the way up and you’ll hear a music jam snippet.

If it stays in that basis instead of

deviating. A lot of times you have

things that are supposed to be

Christian reality shows but they

really devi-

ate. If they

stay firm

on that

basis I

think it will

be good

because

it’s needed

not only

for the

teens but the adults as well. So if

they don’t diverge from what we

really believe in and stand on it in

the Christian reality shows I think it

could be good.

-Prophet Reggie Lloyd

Preachers of LA is a new Christian reality television show on the Oxygen network. It premiered October 9th and chronicles the lives of

well-known ministers/preachers who live in Los Angeles.

I don’t have an issue with it

as long as they are strictly

basing everything on the

Lord. When they start bring-

ing in the drama and the

messiness

that’s

when I

have an

issue;

because

you don’t

need that.

God is

Love;

He’s

peace and joy and not the

extra drama that’s added. So

if its based on the Word and

focuses on God and Christian

principality’s then I’m all for

it. -Miranda Jackson

I feel like it could happen

depending on how far they

take it [and] as long as it is

still promoting God. As soon

as it gets out of hand that’s

when a line needs to drawn,

but I think they can have a

Christian reality show with-

out taking over.
