There is a 16 year old girl who has a cancerous brain tumor and it is inoperable. Her older sister was killed in a car accident at the age of 16 a few years ago. Her family has gone through so much. Her name is Mackenzie and I don’t know what will happen to her family if she doesn’t come out of this ok. She can no longer speak, walk, go to school, or anything. If you could please pray for a complete healing. I’m believing by faith that God is going to heal her. He is still in the miracle working business, we just have to believe that He can do it and He deserves all the honor and all the glory. Thanks!

It’s interesting that you write about struggling to avoid routine in your career within ministry…I find myself in the same boat. Being in ministry as well, everything we do is “good” and “for the Lord”, but obviously, if our relationship with the Lord isn’t in line, the rest of it is pointless. Personally, I am finding that as I am going through each day, the enemy is coming at me from every angle imaginable with attack after attack. It is exhausting, and I find myself being distracted and concerned with the details of each circumstance, and not placing my focus where it needs to be…fixed on Jesus ALONE. You can pray that my focus lines up. I am confident that when that happens, all of those other things that try so hard to occupy my attention, my affections, my energy will line up according to the Lord’s will. Thank you for your ministry, your worship, and allowing the Lord to work through you in such a powerful way. I will be praying for you.
In Him,
Tracy

Hey Anthony! I totally feel where you are right now. And by all means, take a break as needed!

As for me, my prayers are that my Daddy, poppa God, would bless my ministry. I’m praying for provisions for unfinished projects, both books and CDs, the power to follow His leadership and direction, and that His plan is made clear for me in a way that I understand it so that it cancels out confusion!

Thanks in advance! Kei~

When and where will you be in Houston? Would love to come see you!

Hello Anthony, no prayer request for me but I wanted to let u know that I will be praying for u. I lead worship at my church and what most ppl dont realize is that the enemy would love to get us in a rut or it Jst become a routine like u say. We are an important, a very important part of service. So I will pray for u while Praying for others. It’s ironic how u post this, I was thinking this very thing about u Jst days ago. God is an Amazing God. He’s concerned about the very thing that concerns us. Be blessed

I have watched you present at the Brooklyn Tab twice and I thank God for what He is doing in your life. My prayer for me and really for us all is that we will continue to trust Him in our lives. I want Him to help me with my unbelief and that He would increase my faith.

God Bless!

Prayer for family and my safe arrival home to dallas.

At the end of my life, i would like to say that i’ve lived a life with *minimal* regrets!!! I given the best of me to everyone whos came in my life…for a season or a reason…some deserved and others didn’t!!! I’ve pour out what i felt i was missing in hopes to get in return. AT the end of the day when i take off the masks and the hats , the person i see is a stranger…consumed w/ the options of who “i” should be or how i should act, think, or speak !

I choose today to work on the one relationship that means the most…bc all that matters is what he(God) thinks. I’ve been consumed with doing *stuff* and i haven’t spent time working on me. The stuff was used fill the voids in my life; wanting approval, acceptance and even to distract my aching heart from singleness( doesn’t work)

This new venture is beyond getting a pedi ,mani or taking myself to the movies but rather this is where i draw the line and focus on me. To access my life and make sure that i’m doing everything neccesary to make my dreams happen. I’m at a fork in the road… if i continue on the current path it will be to the demise of self. I’ve pushed this away for far too long ,to deal with at a better day…which never comes!

I’m taking the next 30days to myself. To allow God to love on me as only he can do…when my heart aches and no solace can be found in humanities embrace. To strip away everything that i’ve used as a crutch or a void filler. I’m taking off all these hats: daughter, friend, teacher, armor bearer, singles ministry communication assit, special events cord..etc(there’s more) …I’ve let all of these titles define me to the point that i’ve lost passion, God and myself!

Whew…had to get that off my chest! Thank you for praying and i will continue to pray for you!

ps. you have a accountability partner in me …after my 30day sabbatical : )

Hey Anthony,
I have a prayer request for a friend who just had her baby (Asher) who was born with a heart defect and has had to undergo open heart surgery at three days old. He is experiencing some complications and they have already had to resuscitate him once. He is in recovery right now and his blood pressure is low. Our whole church family has been praying for him for months, but it wouldn’t hurt to get some extra prayers going up concerning baby Asher. Thanks for opening up your prayer line…and keep up the good work. (love the new CD, by the way)

Fairly amazing that someone as busy as you must be would actually ask if WE have requests… thank you.
I stay fairly over-stressed (don’t we all) and I wonder much of the time if there isn’t maybe something I’m supposed to be setting aside/giving up in order to balance my life out and not feel like this “yoke” isn’t so easy right now… Thanks for the offer to pray… very appreciated.

‘I do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers. [For I always pray to] the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him, by having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set- apart ones), and [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength, which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His [own] right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all rule and authority and power and dominion and every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and in this world, but also in the age and the world which are to come.’ Ephesians 1:16-21 (Amp)
Taking time to pray this over you as often as I can…
I am so thankful for your ministry!!

Anthony,
My family, friends and I could use your help as a prayer warrior. Debbie Bynum is the wife of Acappella’s manager, John. As I type this, she is in ICU in Oklahoma City with pneumonia, bacterial meningitis, and severe sepsis. We are told the next 24 hours are the most crucial, followed by the next week. Debbie is a great person and mother of 3. John has been a great asset to our ministry and he really needs our prayers and support as well. Please pass the message to those in your ministry and family to pray for Debbie and John and their family. Thanks!

Had a great post-Vday at work Thanking you first for being open and honest. You have helped me focus more on being available for God rather than appearing perfect before His people. Thank you also for approaching His throne on behalf of your brothers and sisters. My 3 requests are for:
1. My friend Simone, 34, mother of 2 was recently diagnosed with colon cancer which has spread. I know God can heal through means or by a miracle. Praying that she’ll be ready for His answer.
2. My friend Richard – overwhelmed with life, unresolved family issues, and confused about the direction in which it should go. Praying for his complete surrender, clarification on his God-given purpose and strength to endure this race.
3. Richard’s dad – recently confirmed that he has months to live – has cancer – father-son relationship severely lacking. Praying for forgiveness, softening of hearts, humility, a relationship before the dad moves on to eternity.

These situations would be depressing if we didn’t know the Lord, the power He has over all circumstances, and that His ways and timing are perfect. I’m thanking Him for using us in ways we wouldn’t imagine, just because we’re available, even when we’re not “ready”. I pray that He also gives you the strength to endure your race – sometimes you may be sprinting, sometimes you may be walking but keep going.
Always in my prayers – Blessings!

I have a new supervisor that I have known 4+ weeks. Her marriage is ending just as we have been positioned to be a blessing to the southern sector of dallas. I am so glad we serve an informal God. I enter His presence stripped, raw, and aching to know Him and in fear of missing Him. He loves each of us uniquely and sometimes, to us, in heart-aching ways. Pray for her. She needs Him to love her uniquely and intensely right now. She needs for Him to fill the void and give her His strength and peace in the decisions coming up. I shared your new CD with her. It has ministered to me, but I feel it will minister to her in a more personal, intimate way. I am guilty of speaking from my flesh at times and of ignoring Him when I am hurt by the decisions He makes for my life. But I know Him to be patient, faithful, and so forgiving. He waits for me because He knows that my heart is for Him alone. How precious are His thoughts and ways. I’m amazed each day that He even considers me. Anyway, Thanks for being a blessing. I keep u and your family in my prayers always. Stop and rest as needed. His Spirit isn’t going anywhere…….we’ll be here when the Spirit prompts u to return. You sing for Jesus and Jesus freaks are eternally loyal!

I would first like to thank you for allowing yourself to become so open about your struggle. Truth is, that many of us struggle this the same issues. However, its when we are open up about the issues we are able to become free and others can know what areas of our life to pray for. Please be encouraged and know that you are not alone and that people that you don’t even know are praying for you.

In His Service,
Marita

King James version, 1 Peter 1:24-25
For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

I believe this is also the word that you preach through your music ministry. It is rooted in the word of God and will therefore live on and continue to win souls for the kingdom of the Lord even when you’re not touring. Albums you’ve released 5+ years ago are still blessing me and my friends. Even though I’ve listened to the songs hundreds of times, different events in my life make different songs more relevant than they had previously been. For this reason, the music doesn’t gets old (after all “the word of the Lord endureth for ever”). I said all of that to say take a break if and when you need one. As you said, “the music will always be there” but more importantly the power of God’s word will always be there. Please continue to spread the gospel and allow God to use you and your talent but also take time out to enjoy the life He has chosen to bless you with. I will continue to pray that you grow stronger and higher in the Lord and that giving Him the praise He is due does not become routine for you.
May God bless you, your family, and your ministry.

I’ve always been pretty decent at detecting the lack of sincerity in others. Spiritual burnout can lead to having to hide behind phony spiritual veneers. If we let ourselves become too mentally and emotionally depleted, it’s scary how quickly we can fall off course.
I feel emotionally drained at times because this is the one area I really give the most. I have a natural tendency to creep over boundaries and give too much emotionally to others (it’s how I’m wired). I often need to take time to recharge or recover. One mistake I’ve been making for a long time – I don’t go to our Lord in prayer first for soothing and comfort. I seek out people and, of course, I’m disappointed a lot because friends/family cannot always come through for us.
AE, u need to maintain your Jedi warrior mental toughness & physical strength!

hi anthony! can you pray for me bro. just how the Holy Spirit leads you. thanks God bless.

Blessings, Anthony! I pray in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth abundant blessings of peace, strength, great discernment and worldwide intercessors that will continually pray for your continual spiritual growth, traveling grace and an unlimited supply of specific biblical studies ordained and anointed by Jehovah to keep you rooted in the Word of God so that you will not get weary in well doing! In Jesus name AMEN! There is a great mantle upon you and so many people do not know just how much is presented to you. God knows and there are many people praying for you! Stay strong, committed and steadfast! Great is thy faithfulness, Man of God!Shalom-Queen

Nehemiah 8:10-Do not sorrow (be sad) for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

Keep that in mind Anthony.

Hello Anthony. I missed your recent concert at BTC in New York. It would’ve been the second time for me to experience your awesome testimony and worship. As far as a prayer request, I dont have a personal request, but please join my church in prayer for the continual uniting of churches (His Body) thru the Holy Spirit. In John 17, that was our Lord’s earnest prayer, that we would become one as He and the Father are one. I believe it would excite our Poppa’s heart to see His children love one another and effectively spreading that love across the land. Glad to see that you are concerned about your own personal worship time with Jesus….and trying not too busy serving him (like Martha). Anthony, I pray you can REST in Him during your break and also whenever you decide to hit the road again..still rest in Him.
Rest well,

Dawn

Anthony,
I will pray for you. Don’t let life get you down. I know being a “people pleaser” is rough! (Being a fellow people pleaser myself) Because I have noticed that these days alot of people just forget to say “thank you”. And sometimes that is very important to hear. I know it is probably also hard when you are in a position where alot of people look up to you, but that is where rest comes in… rest… Look in your heart, trust in your heart, your heart will tell you the truth everytime! Be blessed, you bless many people with your talents. Surround yourself with loved ones that will support you and lift you up. You will find comfort. Pray hard, God loves you. And “Thank You”. It was a blessing to meet you this weekend at “Going Beyond” this weekend.

I know how you are feeling in away. We are all still carnal bodies. I your faith will never fail you! You might fail your faith! But the Good thing is Jesus Always Carries Us and forgives Us All when we ask it of Him. Anthony the past two years have been Beat’n Me Down Brother! I have been shown abundance and took it forgranted and did what I wanted. Then the Lord showed me the bottom of the Barrel. If it weren’t for my Family I’d be in the streets no joke! I’m Thankful for these hard times I been going thru it open my eyes and shown me I’m Blessed No Matter What! Good or Bad times! May God Bless you Thru your Trials and Tribulations Anthony. ( I would pray for you but I better not. I said prayers for my grandma’s health last night and today she broke her femur. She said laughing not to pray for her anymore. NO JOKE! )

Psalms 27:14 Wait with hope for the LORD. Be strong, and let your heart be courageous. Yes, wait with hope for the LORD. Take time out to recharge your battery. Sometimes we need to take some of our own medicine that we prescibe to others. As I have previously said, your song “Letting Go” has been a great source of encouragement. Take time to let those words minister to you in return. Praying for you also. God bless you AE.

Thank you so much for your sincerity and transparency. Its so refreshing to see someone so real. I pray that the Lord will take the “other 23 hours” of your day and fill them with His rest and His peace. I pray that He will make you ravenous for time in His presence, and continue to cause you to seek after His ways. And through this time, I pray He will bless you even more and strengthen your faith to bring others into a place of worship during that one hour on stage…and through the other 23 hours of their day!
Thanks for all you do and for your ministry.

I understand burnout on so many levels. I am fighting it now. The only word that I have for both of us is “Wait”. I am thankful for music that points me to God because I know that He is the only one who can renew my stregth. Continue to be faithful to your calling.

I’ve seen your testimony of how people you loved and did life and ministry with caused you alot of pain. I’ve always wondered what they feel about what happened. who is God listening to when two people who are his children but at logger heads believe it’s the other that has casued the injustice.
My challenge right now lies in the practical nature of Hebrews 12 that encourages us to throw off eveything that ‘Hinders’..it’s hard being in ministry when the things that ‘hinder’ are the relationships and programmes or acts of ‘service’ that are meant to be building and edifying. I’ve been strugging with a sense of fear and anxiety about my character, spirituality, what is expected of me and the reality of who I am and what I can, cannot or i’m not yet able to do and what the whole ‘being in ministry’ thing is really about. Those times..i feel exactly like you say..like enough already! the floor is giving way and the solidity of my foundations is being challenged and why do things that are meant to be so good end up being such a ditraction and sometimes even a burden! I’m still talking to God about this..and i’ll make a point of mentioning you as you pray for yourself and all of us. It’s great to have a ‘great cloud of witnesses’ cheering you on in your faith on earth so be encouraged.Blesings for the journey ahead.

Hello Anthony! I saw you minister for the first time today at the Going Beyond Conference in McClean. It is such a blessing to be led in worship by someone who has such a heart for God and is willing to be transparent about what is going on in their lives. It is the testimonies of our victories and confessions of our struggles that bring healing and deliverance. I pray that God will lead you to rest and peace in Him and that He will give you strength to follow Him even through the “certain” places of your life.

Hi Anthony,

It was such a blessing to see you today at FBCG. EVERYTIME I step foot into that church I am blown away…It brings tears to my eyes just knowing that I was lead there and that God is doing an awesome work in my life. Hearing you and your sister for the first time today was AMAZING…you personally took my breath away, I stood there with my arms open in awe as your voice calmed my spirit. I know God is doing a great thing in my life right now, but today, after hearing you both, it gave me the confirmation I needed to keep standing and believing that I am where I’m suppose to be…. in my “Certain” place.
I saw grown men sobbing as you sang. You are truly blessed to be a blessing. Continue doing what you were set out to do…Changing lives for the Kingdom!
Thank you and your sister, Mrs. Priscilla Shirer for sharing your gift with us today. I will never forget it.

Hi Anthony

Am Hannah from Malawi, a small country in Southern Africa. I have just come to know you like last week because I saw your Letting go video on TV and i just fell in love with it. You were actually talking to me and i remember whispering ‘thank you’ soon after it ended. Thats when i spent some time this morning to do some research on you. I am impressed… God is doing a wonderful thing in your life. God is all we need. He is our pillar, our hiding place, our running place. I like what u did on that night when u showed the audience the real you. Hosea 6:1-3 reminds us that even though we might sometimes feel that we are SO HURT and maybe the hurt is coming from God Himself, He still is the only safe running place coz He will heal us and will restore us and thats exactly what He does. He is so faithful. You remember when the other disciples were leaving Jesus and then Jesus asked the twelve if they would leave Him too and Peter said “Lord, where else can we go? You have the word of life”. Its only Jesus who can completely heal our hearts coz its Him who understands even much better than we do. For our thoughts are not His thoughts neither are His ways are our ways. And we know that all things work together to the good for those that love God. One assurance we have as christians is that victory is guaranteed and there is surely a light at the end of the tunnel. We are not hopeless, we are serving a big God and He is our hope. May God continue using u to reach out to multitudes. For He is looking for worshipers who will worship Him in spirit and in Truth. Pretense does not surely help and it is too much work and is bondage. We have been made free in Christ.
Really want to get hold of ‘Undisguised’ and will check around and see if i can find it though it very doubtful that i can get it. Malawi is just a small country. If you may pliz advise on how i can get hold of it… am willing to pay any amount.
God bless u.
Hannah.

Hey Anthony! I live far from the USA, in the Democratic Republic of Congo. I love the way God use you, the way you sing for Him. I realy would like Him to use all my life for His glory. I am a worship leader, but many times I feel like quitting. I can’t explain this, please pray for me that God gives me a worshiper heart. I also want to receive peace in my marriage. Help me loving my God, help me serving Him, because and you know it, it’s meaningless without HIM.

Hello,
I had the pleasure of experiencing your gift at Raleigh North Christian Center. Initially I wasn’t going to attend the celebration because I hadn’t heard of you or the other performers. I decided to go because I knew we would all worship together (even if the performers weren’t that great, LOL). I must say I was pleasantly surprised by your gift. You have a yoke breaking anointing in your voice. It is simply beautiful. I have been listening to your music for the past three days and I really enjoy it. I’ve told my family and friends about you and they ask “what or who does he sound like?” and I tell them your voice is clean and precise and you sound like an angel (LOL). This is funny because when I hear people say this I think how cliché it sounds but that is what I think of when I hear your voice. In short, your music is uplifting and encouraging. My favorite songs from the new CD are All That Matters, Could It Be and Hallelujah. Thank you.

Anthony,
I just wanted to say that I love, love, love your new cd! Your music inspires me. I just wanted to send you a hello from Florida. I saw you Christmas time at my church, CB Glades, and I am seriously hoping to hear that you will be coming back again soon.
Please take time for yourself. We all need it. I don’t have any prayer requests right now. Please know that I am praying that you continue to inspire others while also having the opportunity to enjoy life yourself.

God Bless,
Kat

Dear Mr. Evans,

“Whatever I Can’t Erase” was used by Jesus to heal what I was holding onto from my past, mistakes, failures, success, time put into addictive behaviors. My friend contacted your agent and was able to get the accompaniment for me to sing/ act out at church. To express my past, I was rebellious after feeling rejected (kinda like in “Could It Be”.. I was chasing after the next “hott” (however ungodly of a) guy). I was hurt bad, of course, but mostly… five years after all that.. after having major body image issues and.. opening the gate for the spirit of pride.. MY LIFE WAS in the most pitiful state.. more pitiful then I ever thought I could get. ANYWAY.. so I leased your cd from a library… I loaned like 28 Christian cds that day. I heard your cd… and God began to bring me back to Him.. one day at a time.. one song at a time.. He was able to heal me by showing me the healing that you go through in your songs.
So at church… I was singing it.. and acted out what I went thru: it started with me having the Holy Bible, then tossing it to the side, putting on my sunglasses (pride) and walking away with an attitude of pride being very apparent… then I had two orange cones set up in the middle of the stage area, with signs on them saying… “consequences of breaking” on one and “the Law”. So I walk and trip over them.. I fall down, I struggle to get up, I finally cry out in agony, yet I put on a mask, that is smiling with the word LIES written right across it. and finally I throw the mask down and cry out to God. I had worn a mask for so many years.. not telling people that my life was messed up because I had addictions, after rejection.. and I had had an eating disorder.. and felt terrible about what I looked like.. even though God saw beauty and perfection because of the gift of His son.. So anyway, the rest of the skit… was me acting out the words of the song.. and praising Him with dance. To bow down and worship God is my only desire~! SO… I was awake.. after singing with a sister in Christ tonight.. and I for some reason was lead to this song.. Well… I know why… I write.. and I write my prayers to God.. and questions to God.. so I wrote to Him, “WHY AM I SINGLE GOD?” He answered, I need all of you for myself,for now, Staci. Then I asked, “What Am I not giving to you, that i should be? What is it (from the question above) that makes me long to be married, dating, or courted after?” Then He answered, “Know that I love you with an everlasting love, Staci, my daughter, my beloved child. I am yours, your dad, your friend, I (underlined three times) am the lover of your soul.
Then I wrote, “Thank you Father. Speak to me LORD. Love me LORD. Be my all. In all, for all. No more feeling rejected. I toss out all thoughts of incompleteness, insecurities.” “Spirit filled.” “All I am is yours, my hands raised to you.” “Be alive, not dead (as in how I act and how I sometimes hide my true joy and sheer excitement for what He has done in my life… the victory He already won for all the world… HIS FORGIVENESS AND free gift into the Kingdom of God.. my love for Him and praises need to be expressed for the world to see His goodness… to acknowledge Him in all (I really encourage you to seek God out with all of your heart… everyday, as I know your desire is that. ANd I know you do, but continue, continue to and let GOD USE YOU IN SO MANY AWESOME WAYS for His ways are awesome for only He is truly Awesome, Creator and *our Father* and King of all. I will be praying for you mighty man of God) my ways).” Then He said to me “Be in love with me child, not depressed.” I bind those spirits of rejection and depression. Because James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Way too acknowledge HIM in all of your ways, Mr. Evans, He loves you and loves that you are part of His Kingdom, the New Jerusalem. 1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.
So Jesus Christ, my LORD answers as He always does… but in a MIGHTY, mighty way tonight… as the devil tried to put a greco-roman wrestling move on me.. Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. However, the Word of God exposes the DEVIL, the worm, everytime… AND your obedience to God… allowed Him to work through you to bring me His WORD tonight… I bought your cd on itunes… and listened.. and my mind was renewed…the fight was over.. “Could It Be” put the words to so many daunting years of my life..where I was running a race for myself AND OTHERS.. not God.
So then, the song “ALL THAT MATTERS” played. I replayed it and replayed it, as God imparted another skit to perform at church with that song.. as a testimony of what He has done in my life…
All the running, all the working out.. all the diets.. all the measuring my waist… ALL THE TIME AND ENERGY I WASTED like you said… YOU PUT TO WORDS… well… you because of Jesus, broke the stronghold the Devil had in my life…
The skit is going to touch lives as well. I was deceived. Years ago, my friend told me that I was like a chameleon, I would change how I acted to please those around me.. And at a new church.. I felt today… like why God am I so nervous as I reach out and love (* once again mentioned on your CD! love is willing to get hurt). But I was so nervous to have their approval and their praise.. and their attention almost. like look at me.. am I good enough for you and for God now? But praise JESUS!! His sacrifice perfects me. So all He sees is His child, a royal priesthood and king, perfection, no blemish or spot.. for I have been washed! He only feels… UNCONDITIONAL LOVE towards me~! : ) And really ” all that matters to me” now is to know Him more and more.. to worship at His throne, to rest under His wing, to lift my cup up to Him and have it overflowing for all eternity. Rivers of Living Waters flow only from YOUR THRONE LORD. Praise God!!!

Revelations 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

ANYWAY, I will be praying for you and everyone on your staff at Anthony Evans Records. I know it takes a lot of great people, submitting to God’s will to produce your albums and to put on performances. So thank you. I thank God for you and your ministry. It makes my heart glad to witness Jesus shining in your life and in/ through your music SO STRONG! PRAISE BE TO THE LAMB who was slain, forever and ever, for He is WORTHY!! keep looking up, bro. I thank God for the Body of Christ and the family we have in that. Also… I just read your blog pg. today for the first time (while sending a message to Mr. Jonathan Pitt about an accompaniment track), thanks for sharing your heart. Anyway, I am very sorry to hear about your Grandfather. I know how close I am to mine. They have meant so much to me in my life.
God bless you, powerful man of God. Be bold and strong.
In Christ’s love,
Staci Ehrman

Aloha Anthony,
We’ve met before…a couple of times…I go to New Hope Church in Hawaii. I saw u sing again and was so blessed by your testimony and music. the line that stands out in my mind is the one where u asked if all u needed was Him. The one who was always right there in front of u. U were singing the lyrics of my heart. The Love of my life should be Him. I know this, yet, so often I turn elsewhere. Anyway, I just wanted to say that I kno exactly what u mean and how u feel…however…every time I see u in person I freak out and I never say more than a few words to u. Lol.

Get the rest u need, and rejuvenate, my brother…u r doing stellar work for the Kingdom. Enjoy our food, people, and sunshine…we always enjoy ur visits. Maybe next time I’ll be on team to sing with u. Praying for continued role in His plan…Niki.

Hi Anthony,

I have no idea how to do the Twitter thing (tried to figure it out, but can’t, can read, just can’t post), but I wanted to share this with you. I read the post above by you shortly after you posted it and you have been on my heart and in my prayers ever since.

I wanted to give you some encouragement as you fight the spiritual battles. When we are under attack from the enemy it is because we are making progress and are a huge threat to enemy. You my friend are pounding down walls for the Lord with your music and ministry so that leads to attacks. Even the car break in and the stuff that was stolen.

In the last year I have been through a tremendous amount of trials and tribs and find that through it all, God just keeps drawing me closer to His heart. My prayer since Nov. of 2008 has been “More of you Lord and less of me.” I am just realizing how serious He takes us when He knows this cry comes from our heart. It isn’t an easy road and there are times when I don’t think I can feel Him or hear him, but it is all such a blessing and causes growth as long as I keep my eyes on Him. I can see the changes He is making in me…

Anyway…I wanted to share this piece from Max Lucado’s book “Cure for the Common Life”… and a quote I reread today at an appropriate time for me and it is from someone you might know

If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies. 1 Peter 4:11

God shaped you according to your purpose…Your ability to diagnose an engine problem by the noise it makes, or to bake a cake without a recipe. You knew the Civil War better than your American history teacher…How do you explain such quirks of skill?

God. He knew young Israel would need a code, so he gave Moses a love for the law. He knew the doctrine of grace would need a fiery advocate, so he set Paul ablaze. And in your case, he knew what your generation would need and gave it. He designed you. And His design defines your destiny.

Here’s the quote…

We will all come to a place where God is taking us from what He had, to what He has in store. As we continue this journey, true solace isn’t found in knowing what’s on the other side; it’s only found in worshipping Him as we cross the bridge.” Anthony Evans

Thank you Anthony for your transparency and may you find courage, blessing and comfort from your Abba Daddy when you are going through the attacks…it means you’re making strides forward. Even if we are stumbling forward, it is still forward motion.

Take the time you need when you needto and remember to enjoy the small blessings and be thankful for them, the laughter of children and family, the sound of the crowd as they worship with you, a green light when you need it most, the song of a bird, a sunset at the beginning of spring and the way your horse will nuzzle your arm at times. God calls us to rest in Him. Don’t stress your music is part of your design and destiny.

God Bless Anthony

Good Morning Anthony,
I want to thank you so much for investing your time, your treasure, and your talent into your recent project “Undisguised” I was so elated to see that you had a new CD!! I absolutely adore the song “Rejoice” and “All That Matters to Me”. Rejoice is currently on repeat and probably will be be for a little while The guitar and piano fused with the drums are fantastic. Your unique sound is a breath of fresh air for me. Being raised in a southern baptist church, I like the heavy drums and subtle beats but the organ and the “ole slave time religion” hymns can be a wee bit much…lol. As I began to seek God for myself, I was introduced to other types of sounds from culturally diverse churches, but it seemed like each one was stuck in one sound, which makes sense because America is still divided by certain rituals in their culture.

Anyway, I also remember going to an independent baptist church where all they had was a piano, but the words were totally awesome. Then I went to a…I will call it, a new generation church, and I heard the electric guitar with the violin…amazing. But I was finding myself searching for music that fused all of God’s music together. And so far, I must say you are the only artist I can’t put in a genre! You are yourself! That’s Awesome!!

Be encouraged and continue to use your music to give God glory, because when He is the reason why you sing, there is no more Anthony, only His servants singing “Glory to the King!”
