Why is this so important for us to go out and sing in the streets or any venues that we can, by us going into these places we are taking God's shining love into their space, somewhere we they feel comforatble and open, not being "judged", some don't feel that in a church. A Church building isn't the only place to meet God. As a matter of fact, Jesus didn't go into church's, he was out with the people, he went out to their towns, their streets! God works his power anywhere, even in jail as in the following scripture....

 

Acts 16:25-28 (The Message Bible)
Along about midnight, Paul and Silas were at prayer and singing a robust hymn to God. The other prisoners couldn't believe their ears. Then, without warning, a huge earthquake! The jailhouse tottered, every door flew open, all the prisoners were loose. .

 

See by taking that chance and going out there to the people, DLM and SozoRox has the chance to help get God's light out in this very dark world. We believe that Jesus will be returning soon, and we want to make sure that we have done everything possible to have reached out to as many lost souls as we possibly can. We want them to know the Jesus we know, the Jesus who loves us so much that he has washed away all our sins and has cleansed us from unrighteousness. We want them to see his compassion and love and be freed of what the world has put upon them.

 

Our mission is found in the following scripture...

 

 

Matthew 22:36-40

"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

 

 

Some may think that we are doing this just to be a band and like the attention, but if that was the case then it would be easy for us to play the wordly music and get more earthy cash for it. But we feel called by God to help share His Love to all who listen. We are not a band, we are a Ministry who tells of God's Holy Word through a different way, we sing it out loud!

 

We will continue to do God's will and we will continue to Love everyone who comes in our lives. We don't make money doing this, we don't pass around collection plates, and we don't demand special treatment, for we believe that God will always provide all our needs as long as we seek first Him and His kingdom and continue to share our Songs/Testimonies and all the scripture that we possibly can! For we are just humble servants of our Almighty God!

 

 

Psalm 96:3

Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous deeds among all peoples.

Last weekend my Band,Sozorox, played At Six Flags In Eureka,Mo.We were excited to be invited back,after playing last month,and having a killer time ministering to hundreds of people and fans walking by,and gathering around the stage area.We unloaded our gear,and prepared to start our set on the Fright Nights stage,which made for an awesome setup.Three short songs into our set,the rain came pouring down.We continued on as if it were not happening.....well,until they shut us down.Our backup guitars were out,our cases were open,our amps and pedalboards were getting drenched!In my natural flesh,well...yes,I was a lil' upset.Here we were,ministering to a huge crowd,who had to run for cover,while we're trying to figure out where to put all our soaked gear,and what was the next move?I was thinking,"come on Lord....you opened the doors for us,to witness and minister to hundreds today and your letting us get rained out!...I don't understand"In my own infinate wisdom,and great Holy attitude(lol),we all gathered in the Palace Theatre to seek cover with many others who had congregated.We were standing face to face with some of the most fantastic people,among those a couple who were Pastor and Wife,and members of their church,who ministered to myself and my wife....revealing things that only God could have told them...the Holy Spirit was revealing Himself to Minister life changing messages to us.After a wonderful time of fellowship,the rain cleared,and we were allowed to finish up our set(amazingly our gear was in perfect working order)and we were sent on our way.All in all,it was a great day....we ministered as we were instructed by God,and did our best to share His love with those who attended.On the ride home my wife (often the voice of reason in our family,lol) started to discuse what had happened at the park.....Even though the clouds gathered and the rain started pouring down,God had a plan for that day.If it were not for the rain,we would not have had the time to fellowship,or be ministered to...we would have missed out on the blessing....the Holy message we desperately needed to hear that day,from our Lord.The point to all of this?When the clouds start to gather.....the thunder is heard in the distance.....and the raindrops start falling.....God is in control!When the mountains of defeat....the feelings of worthlessness...the insecurities....the bills pile in......Fear not!!!Put your trust in Him.....He has a plan!!!It may look dark...it may look cloudy....but He sees each and every one of us,and He is there to help us take cover from ALL our storms!

Hello friends.....this weekend we played at the African American Heritage Festival 2008 ( Fairgrounds Park) ,in st.louis,mo.Over 2000 people were in attendance in the heart of st.louis county.We have new pics posted from this event,please check them out and comment on them if your led.It always amazes me how God works(i don't know why,lol)....Sozorox was blessed to be asked by our dear friend,Andre Williams and family to attend,and shared the stage with the likes of Andre,DonRon,and Mynista......even though we were the minority in this African American event....the people responded to the word of God that echoed throughout the park.Gunshots were heard,we saw the police chasing cars down the highway.....as a matter of fact 3 days earlier 2 young men were gunned down in the very area we ministered at....before we went on stage i used the local park restroom....on the wall was a huge circle of names  reading R.I.P. after all there names....all i could think of was how sensless,and meaningless these deaths were,most likely due to the fact of the enviroment they live in.....i was determined to share the word of God to all who could hear my voice.....the seeds had to be planted before yet,another name was added to this wall!!! We came in shielded in the armor of God,and His protection was upon us,and all involved!We've been asked..."isn't that a bad area?How could you go down there and hang out,let alone perform...weren't you scared?" My responce is "NO! We are all children of God.....If people like Andre,DonRon,Mynista and Sozorox are scared.....who is going to minister to those hurting,and dying every day???
I challenge you to step out today in faith and reach somone who hasn't heard,or hasn't had the opportunity to see the love of Jesus......WE ARE JESUS to them!!!Stop looking at the outside package.....stop looking at the color of our flesh.....We are HIS children...ALL OF US!!! Every life is valuable....every soul is needed and wanted in the Kingdom of our Lord....don't let your friends.....your family.....die needlessly.......BE BOLD TODAY!!!!!

Faith,Hope,Love......the greatest of these is LOVE.......Hmmmmm!
