Day 1- What’s on your Mind today?
Spirit
Romans 8:5-6
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit
the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life
and peace.
Soul
Colossians 3:1-2
If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the
right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
Body
Proverbs 16:24
Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
Encouraging word:
One of the hardest things to do is to admit that not every thought we entertain is a good one.
Someone might cut us off on the highway and we might have some unkind words to say to that
person. Or the waiter might have messed up our order and we may have a few choice of words
to say that might not be very encouraging. What we think and what we say will always have
an outcome, whether it is good fruit, or bad fruit. We have a choice as to which seed we want
to be planted in our mind. Romans says that to be carnally minded is death, which means that
our carnal mind can produce bad fruit and leave a bad taste in someone’s mouth. Instead, we are
encouraged to seek after the things that are spiritual so that when a situation arises we have
goods seeds to choose from to be planted, so that it can produce good fruit in the end. We have
access through Christ, who is seated at the right hand of God to obtain those good seeds. But we
set our minds on things above where Christ is seated. Sometimes the words we say can cause
damage to our own bodies, because 80 percent of the time, our voice is the only one we believe
and no one else’s. So we have to watch the words that come out of our mouths at all times.
If we speak life according to God’s word, we will walk in that life. But if we speak death
through the carnal mind, we walk in that which we have spoken. So I encourage you speak
life according to God’s word.
Prayer:
Father I thank you that through Christ who is seated at your right hand, that we have access to
everything that is pure and holy. Father forgive me for entertaining the thought that come to my
mind that do not edify you. Show me what I must seek according to your word so that every word
that I speak will become fruitful and multiply to those around me. Father I thank you that I am
created in your image and likeness, and that this body that you have formed is healthy. Thank
you for your word that gives life.

Donald has seen many miracles and healings happen through this ministry and many have come to know the Lord as their personal savior. In June of 2017 he led over thirty missionaries from different states on a evangelistic event in New York City where they saw God move in powerful way through song, dance, testimony, and preaching love and repentance to non-believers. His desire is to see many lives touched by the power of the gospel with signs following. Donald continues to impact his community and other surrounding areas with the gospel message.

Through music Donald has seen many children and adults overcome obstacles that used to be a hindrance for since birth, and they continue to progress every year through music therapy and other modalities. Donald was graced with opportunity to perform on large stages such as Madison Square Garden twice with his students, and Radio City Music Hall where he opened up for the Christmas Spectacular and performed a song he wrote with a young boy who has been blind from birth.

Donald had hopes of running in the 2016 Olympics but came to a standstill after suffering from a pulled hamstring and injured back. After a dry season of not working out, and eating unhealthy, Donald gained forty pounds and felt the effects of his weight with sharp pains in chest, and not being able to carry his own weight. He decided it was time to get serious about his health and started working out again. Donald learned how to balance his eating by going vegan for a few months and learned the benefits of eating raw foods, and eating in moderation. The gym became his second home, and when he wasn’t in the gym he made it his priority to work out at home. He started coaching others who wanted to lose weight, get stronger, and have an overall great health physically as well as spiritually. He began to see results of the effort they have put in, and decided to work with people voluntarily. Since then, people have grown strong physically and spiritually. Donald continues to inspire people all over with faith and fitness.
