Testimonies from those that have experienced the ministry of

G. Craige Lewis

Yesterday I was watching the Steve Harvey "Don't trip, he ain't through with me yet" which is the comedy act from MegaFest.  I watched it wondering just what it was that he could say without cursing and you would never beleive what I heard.  In the middle of the whole thing he begins talking about his perception and the way he sees things and he said "God has blessed me with three eyes"  He pointed to the middle of his forehead and said that his third eye perceives things and sees things that other people don't.  Now my first reaction was to sit up and take notice because in the Truth Behind Hip hop 1 G. Craig talked about the third eye vision also KRS one touts this as theology with his infamous quote from a rap song admonishing people to open up their third eye vision.  Steve Harvey has gone off the radar with this one and it is definately true that he needs Jesus,  T.D. Jakes allowed this devilish doctrine to be doled out to 16,000+ people.  He should have gone and apologized or made some type of disclaimer seperating his ministry from this mess. Unfortunately when you sleep with the enemy people see it so no matter what he says,  harm was done. Steve Harvey remarked in the beginning of his act about a woman that said he needed Jesus in his life and needed to know him and his reply was,  (paraphrased) "Woman look at all this and look at you,  I may not know Jesus like you think I should but I must be doing something right"  he was referring to his expensive attire.  That brings to mind this verse1 Ti 6:5 "Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself."  Thanks to all that I have learned in the Truth behind hip hop,  I can actually see the things that G. Craig was talking about.  Needless to say at the moment I heard Steve Harvey say those words I took the DVD out,  I had no desire to see or hear any more of it.  To be quite honest it wasn't even funny because he is out of his element,  all he could do was talk about church folks and the things that they say to him and how they are so corrupt and wrong.  I hope that come judgment day he does not use that as an excuse for why he did not come into the knowledge of Christ as his Lord and personal savior,  there will be no U-haul behind his herse, so all of his gain gets him nowhere,  as a matter of fact I have advice for him.  Enjoy your heaven down here because at the rate your going that is as close to heaven as you will ever get.  I pray for his soul salvation.  The devil has thrown money at him to keep him in bondage and until he humbles himself and realized that a rich fly cat like him needs to be saved and is nothing and has nothing outside of Christ,  he is eternally lost.  Just thought you would want some feedback from someone who has learned from your ministry.
Sincerely

Minister K. Wheeler

I was at Elizabeth Baptist Church when you visited Atlanta.  I was so thankful when I heard that you were going to share the message about hip-hop there.  My wife and family brought alone several of my kids friends.  After hearing about you coming  I truly thought that the Holy Spirit had done a work in Bro. Oliver,  we were wrong.  However, we praise God for the one night, for we know that all things work together for the good for those that love God and to those that are the called to His purpose.  Keep peaching the truth my brother.   

May God richly bless you, your family and the EX family

Just wanted to tell you how timely and neccessary your message is about hip hop and its affect on the youth of our generation, I am a saved man who was indeed bound by the spirit of Holy Hip Hop, I dressed like the secular artists, and all and my justification for doing this was ok, I see the Holy Hip Hoppers doing this so Its ok for me to do it, after all im saved and in order to reach the streets you gotta be street........boy was my spiritual eyes opened when i Got the meaning of your message, you broke me down when you answered the question, what do we listen to now?........Just listen to God, turn off all music for awhile after your get this and allow God to minister to your Spirit and lead you in the right direction, we are to preoccupied with being entertained by t.v. radio, cell phones,newspaper, talk shows, no wonder we cant hear from God about spiritual things. thank you for being Gods vessel and allowing me to understand the importants of BEING STILL and knowing that he is God, Look forward to seeing you in August at NCBC in Columbus Ohio, God Bless

God has truly blessed my ministry. About six months ago, someone approached me and was sharing about the ministry of Craig Lewis. I was very apprehensive at the time. About two weeks ago, a member of my church gave me the DVD of “The Truth Behind Hip Hop.” I wouldn't even look at it. I was doing ok with my speaking engagements on Reaching the Hip Hop Culture. I felt that Brother Craig was too controversial. The Saturday before my youth service, I told myself that I would at least watch the video so that I can at least tell the young lady who gave it to me to review that I watched it. I thank God with all my heart for moving my spirit to watch this tape. Word cannot express the change and views I have in the assignment that God has entrusted with me. I asked God to forgive me for being so blinding in leading his youth. I showed it my youth and they were blown away. My son has made a choice, “his choice,” not to listen to hip hop. He told his mom that he tried to listen, but it made him sick. Praise God for your ministry!!!!!!!!!

Oh taste & see that the Lord is good! Thank you Min. G. Craige Lewis for
hearing from God while caring for us & sharing with us. You have left a
burning trail of evidence from the anointing here in the Hampton Roads area. In just 2 days you delivered a Word from the Lord that opened the blind eyesof not only young people, but adults also. It causes all Christians to look at yourself then look at Jesus and measure your love for Him versus the way of the world.

It's been over 2 weeks since you were here at Hampton University and people are still disposing of Hip Hop CD's, DVD's, video tapes, books, magazines & even clothing. As of 12/5/03 the # of CD's that have been brought to me for destruction is 873 & still counting. There have been numerous souls saved & rededicated to the Lord Jesus Christ. I've even had to minister to young people that were disappointed after denouncing Satan & Hip Hop, because their parents wanted them to keep the CD's that had bound them up & caused them to lose so much sleep while living on the edge. One set of parents rebuked their daughter saying that you were collecting the items for resale.(Even though we have them!)
Thanks be to God for giving us you, Min. G. Craige
Lewis because you keep it real.

Rev.G Craige Lewis and his wife came to our fellowship to do a two day Awareness Revival. He came armed with Knowledge and the SPIRIT OF THE LORD! By the time THE LORD was through, CD's were turned in and destroyed , both by young people and adults. Scales dropped from the eyes of those --WHO WERE BLIND. Our youth were delivered from pain they did not know they had.WE ARE NO LONGER IGNORANT OF SATAN'S DEVICES! The religion of HIP-HOP with it's worshippers and disciples was dealt a severe blow. AND, A powerful "hedge" was prayed upon Rev. Craige, His wife and family and All the EX-MEN!


Go--Rev. Craige ! Proclaim LIBERTY to those who are bound ! Free those who are in PRISON and OPEN THE EYES OF THE BLIND IN JESUS' NAME!

Keep Up the God-Work! Your presentation, to our youth, here at the Texas Youth Commission was outstanding! The Educational information and Spiritual perspective are invalueable in helping troubled youth to adopt values and principles that brings success
and not destruction! As Texas Youth Commission staff, we see firsthand, the powerful negative influences of some of the Hip Hop artists in America. We thank God for raising up Ex-Ministries as a standard against the flood of destructive influences on our youth! We will plan for an encore and KEEP UP THE GOD-WORK!!

SINCERELY,

The ministry of EX and words of my brother G. Craige Lewis changed my life. I was on e of the 4 members of the secular group "Color me Badd" and I sold millions of records about sex and sin. I was sitting in a crusade that Bro. Craige was speaking at and the Spirit of God led him to speak this powerful message about the music! The message was for me. I went backstage and he began to minister to me and I repented. I went and quit the group that night. I am ministering the Gospel of Jesus Christ to this day and I thank this ministry for not compromising and standing on the truth. I am a living witness of what this ministry is called to accomplish. Praise God!! I am truly an "EX" man now.

This page has effected me like no other site. You are stating things I have
being feeling for years. This has even floored me. I cry as I type this
letter. I am a Gospel Music Producer. I knew it was bad, but not that bad.
For the first time, I am considering leaving the business. I am ashamed for
God to be associated with artist that compromise so viciously. I am
speechless, I support your cause 150%. Please get the word out.

Question, have you gotten responses from gospel Artist concerning these
things? I was at one of Karen Clark's Concerts were she sang songs from DMX,
and company. She also had young girls get on stage and dance provocatively
doing the head bang. In case you don't know already, sex had entered the
Gospel Marketing spectrum. Look at Yolanda Adams new album.

"Awesome," is the only word that adequately describes the gift that is within G.Craig Lewis. I had the privilege of having him share with our youth and the youth of another ministry during our crashing satan's party(halloween alternative) here in Charlotte, NC.

His ministry has impacted the lives of youth and adults. They will never be the same. I had an usher run up to me the Sunday after Craige ministered to tell me that her beautician greeted her with this statement, "girl what did yall do to my daughter on Wednesday, I don't know who the guy was that spoke, but he got to my daughter. She got saved, came home and broke up her CD's, and threw them away. The next day a friend picked her up from school and she was listening to power 98(secular hip hop station) and she told the individual, I don't mean no harm, but I can't listen to that stuff anymore, please don't be offended!"

People were saved, healed and delivered. Our phones have been ringing off the hook, asking for Craig's website address. This message needs to get out to the masses. My prayer is that God will usher him to the forefront and allow him to share this transforming truth.

It was exciting to see and experience the power of God that was brought forth through this mighty ministry. Our youth are giving up their secular cd's and making vows to only invest in Christian music. Curses where broken and God gave us new beginnings through the power of your message. We want you back.

Your words came out and touched me like God was really speaking directly to me. It really made me understand the power that music had over me. - Ben McKinney, Dallas Tx
