A Rapper Resurrected!
Evangelist Samantha Coleman

As a child growing up I was tricked, by Satan into believing that I was supposed to be a boy. I was dealing with the issue on the inside. My family really didn't know. But, anyone who can see spiritually would have known that the spirit of homosexuality was plaguing my life. I was a gifted child, chosen by God. At the age of three, I would pray and lay hands on people and they would be healed. I also grow up singing in church. Satan attacked my life just like any other vessel of God. Satan used the tool of corrupted music. At the age of seventeen I started rapping and started a record label. I dated guys, trying to be normal but I remained attracted to women. The spirit of sexual perversion had taken over my mind. At the age of twenty, I began to date a woman. Soon we were living together. I was living my life as a man providing for his woman. I had many problems with family and friends, but they just had to accept what I was. They all knew that if my mind was made up to do something; it was going to get done regardless of the thoughts of others. At the age off twenty-two, it seemed like everything was going great.

I opened a music store with two partners and my record label was getting exposed to some important people in the music industry.  I had no problem with my homosexual relationship, but the fear of going to hell began to torment me. Going to hell terrified me. One night I had a dream of angels writing me messages in blood across the sky telling me to repent and change my life because I was headed for hell. I wanted change but didn't know how. I tried going to church and repenting, but the temptation of Satan remained strong for me. Oh, but one day, my life was changed forever. In June 1998, while working in my music store, I met Mykel Trahan.

I was unaware that Ms. Trahan was an evangelist. I knew she was Master P's cousin. I thought she was going to hook me up with Master P, but she hooked me up with Jesus. One night in my apartment, she shared the uncompromising word of God with three friends and I. On that very night I willingly surrendered my life and my soul to Jesus Christ. He made me free and delivered me from all of my sins. By August, after God had changed my life, my record label had gone nationwide but God separated me from it, I left and I suffered. I was laughed at and talked about by friends and family, but I kept going and continue to walk in the ways of the Lord. Now God have resurrected me and sanctified my gift of rapping, and he has called me to be used as a tool to be light where there is darkness.
