what I was looking at. I needed to put my spiritual eyes on. The Bible says that thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven. If it’s God’s will for me to be prosperous, blessed, healed and victorious, and I am not seeing that in the earth realm I wasn’t doing that. God shifted me to an infinite thought process. Ghetto means sectional, having a small mindset. It is not a cultural thing. Actually, the Jews were put in sections and that is where the word originated. We as African Americans have tried to adopt this and make it our own. God said my mindset was sectional and it needed to be transformed and renewed based on Romans 12:1-2. So that is what the book is about, being renewed in every aspect of your life.” God has given her favor with her artist management company, Faith Management & Talent Casting, over the years with clients such as; Film producer Joshua Coates, Film producer Deitrick Haddon, David & Tamela Mann of “The Browns”, Shekinah Glory Choir, Film producer Tyler Perry, Sunday’s Best” Jessica Reedy Marvin Sapp, James Fortune & FIYA, Angie, Debbie & Ce Ce Winans, Kirk Franklin, Brian Courtney Wilson, Vashawn Mitchell, Todd Dulaney, Pastor Wess Morgan, Bishop TD Jakes and many more. She periodically works with various record companies in the areas of radio tracking, marketing and promotions. We asked Pastor V. about the sound of this generation. “Just like each musician or time period has a sound, it is the same thing with the Word. If you notice in the Bible and the course of his-tory there have been different movements and shifts. There has been the Evangelical movement, the Prophetic movement and the Charismatic. What has happened in the music industry is over the years, God has entrusted awesome men and women of God. On each realm when God is shifting, He needs them to shift with what He is trying to speak through His oracles, whether it be prophetic psalmists or dancers. The music industry has become tainted. It has become polluted. People were more concerned self. They were not laying before God. They weren’t trying to get a Rhema sound. They weren’t getting heavenly notes. They weren’t trying to have the sound that would penetrate the atmosphere. The church and the people of today are tired of the sound that mimics God and that is not God. People need the real sound to pull down the strongholds, chains, and bondages. God has some oracles now that are singers who are willing to fast and willing to stretch out and they realize that just cannot sing out of their knowing or gifting because it is not working anymore. So in order to be successful, they will have to get in God’s face. Because the audience, they are listening and can tell the difference. The church can now tell the difference be-tween a Pastor who prophesizes to manipulate them with money and a Pastor who has really gone before God and has the oil of God on their tongue. The people are tired of being trick and bamboozled in church whether it be through music of preaching. This is why we are hearing a sound. God has called for a trumpet sound to be released out and blown. There is another dimension. The Bible lists in Ephesians, chapter 6, different hierarchical systems in the demonic realms. In order to tap in, you have There is another dimension. The Bible lists in Ephesians, chapter 6, different hierarchical systems in the demonic realms. In order to tap in, you have to go before God to escalate to those realms. So these artist are now going before God to pull down strongholds in different realms to make an impact on the listener’s lives.” In the gospel music industry, there are encounters with those who are just starting out and may think that they have arrived based upon their success so far and are not looking for the sound. They are producing entertainment leading to a false sound. Pastor V. gave awesome insight and revelation on this. “They are functioning under a Canaanite spirit. It is the same spirit as a false prophet. The Canaanites were very cocky and arrogant. And what happens is the spirit of pride and arrogance with the gift that God has given has distracted them from having the true sound. They will only go so far with that. Anyone who is spiritual is going to recognize that they are functioning under a sound that mimics God and is not God. In this hour if you want to have longevity in business, you cannot have an ‘I know it all.’ The only way we get our knowledge is because we have to be humble enough and submissive and pride less to hear from God. The anointing, even though God has anointed them is functioning out of a strange anointing which is a polluted sound that they are releasing into the atmosphere. They are releasing arrogance and pride into the atmosphere and the listeners are downloading into their spirit. If you are already arrogant in your gifting, then how can you hear God sing melodies on another realm? You are stifling the gift that God placed in you.” Our final question to Pastor V. was to sum up herself in one word. The word that she used was servant. “Because Jesus was the ultimate servant. When you are a servant you don’t have pride or arrogance. You are teachable. You consider other. You have compassion. You have love. I am striving to be more like Christ.” You can contact Pastor Veryl Howard at www.havesumfaith.com, vimeo.com/Pastor Veryl Howard, www.ptwwntv.com, churchnownetwork.com, on channel NC7, www.facebook.com, www.myspace.com/verylhoward and G -tube network.
