Music World Gospel/Interface recording artist Micah Stampley will release his new EP project on November 16. Release Me is Micah’s fourth CD and a joint project of his independent label, Interface, and Mathew Knowles’ Music World Gospel.

“Spiritually, I feel liberated and I chose the title, ‘Release Me,’ because I’ve been coming through the struggles of being an independent artist in an industry that doesn’t always support independent artists. It’s like a load has been lifted off my shoulders,” says Micah.

“Micah’s gift of inspiration brings a powerful voice to the masses,” says Mathew Knowles C.E.O. and President of Music World Entertainment. “As a singer, songwriter and producer, his impact within the faith community is evident, with supporters filling stadiums around the world. Micah is creating a legacy as a true renaissance force in gospel music.”

I recently have come out of a season where I wanted to toss the book. I had been doing all that I could possibly do, in my opinion, to improve my situation. Strangely, I classified my desire to make my situation better as my desire to seek God. I prayed and fasted and sang Shirley Caesar songs. I told my neighbor that it was a new season and turned around five times. In all of these things, I found that my situation did not improve. It was at that time when the Lord ministered to me. He let me know that what I was in need of was not funds it was focus.  A lot of us find ourselves in a state where we are seeking a solution but not necessarily God. We seek these solutions via spiritual observations such as fasting and praying but our focus is off.  Isaiah 26:3 says, “Thou wilt keep [him] in perfect peace, [whose] mind [is] stayed [on thee]: because he trusts in thee.” The key to finding God in the midst of the clutter is shifting your sole focus back to Him.

There is a common lull in our relationships with God. Some people get so used to praying, fasting and provision that they only classify God as source. If something happens when source seemingly stops supplying we often want to give up. The clutter is not going away; the page is actually becoming fuller. In these seasons where it feels like God is nowhere to be found, I encourage you to go back and re-evaluate your relationship with God. This re-evaluation will give you the ability to shift your focus from Him simply being a source to Him being sovereign. Once this perception has shifted, you have shifted yourself back to a royal place, you are his Child! God has not left you! He still loves you! He has an expected end but you have to stay on the path!

BeBe Winans was on the Howard Stern Show recently to promote his new radio show on Sirius Radio and Howard Stern, who loves to meddle in Robin Quivers love life, was trying to get the two to go on a date.

According to reports, Stern kept pushing them to go on a date. “Love is in the air,” he said at one point, after Quivers discussed her recent marathon finish with Winans. Quivers has lost 80 pounds switching to a vegan diet, and she noted that Winans  has lost weight too.

More news concerning the Bishop Eddie Long case broke today, as New Birth and LongFellows Youth Academy make statements. 

New Birth Missionary Baptist Church acknowledges that Bishop Eddie Long’s accusers went with him on trips, but said it could not confirm or deny whether anything inappropriate happened.

The LongFellows Youth Academy, the church’s mentoring program for males also filed responses.

The Lithonia megachurch, in its response filed in DeKalb County State Court Monday, acknowledges that the men accompanied Long on trips, in some cases overseas, but said it couldn’t explain the nature of relationships that may have existed between Long and the men.

The church said Anthony Flagg, one of the accusers, traveled with Long on trips to Tuskegee, Ala., New York and Las Vegas, but couldn’t provide further details. It said it could not “admit or deny” allegations that the two were intimate.

The response said “the church understands that Bishop Long often shared hotel rooms with members of the congregation while traveling,” but it couldn’t say whether Flagg shared a room with Long. The response was filed by attorneys with the Atlanta law firm Drew Eckl Farnham.

Long has called the plaintiffs’ allegations false. His responses to the lawsuits were filed last week.  CLICK HERE to read Eddie Long’s official response to the allegations.
