Stokes, Elliott E.: - Elliott E. Stokes is a pastor, teacher, and psalmist in the Redeemed Christian Church of God and Rhema Bible Church. A Rhema Bible College Graduate, his life has been radically changed by the power of the Holy Spirit and the message of faith. After struggling with depression and suicidal tendencies for many years, a supernatural encounter with the Risen Lord changed everything. He explains it, At three o'clock in the morning, I was prompted by the Holy Spirit to forgive any and everyone I was holding something against. As I said, I forgive everybody, the tears streamed down my face, and I felt the hand of Jesus reach inside my chest and touch my heart. I ran through the house screaming, 'I'm free! I'm free!' He has not been the same since. His passion is to teach Christians how to be intimate with God and to call the lost to repentance. Now he travels the world with his wife Julia teaching others his Faith for Living Alive! principle through books and different forms of media, as well as winning the lost through his Take the City ministries.
