Greetings My Dear Brother Fred Hammond,
I cannot tell you how deeply your ministry has touched my life. For over 20 years I have worshipped, rejoiced and wept in the presence of the Lord as I have listened to your Heavenly Melodies. Your song, "I Will Find A Way" has caused me to convulse and weep as I think how much I have lost thru the years as well. But I too will find a way to worship my Lord Jesus Christ!!
May the Lord continue to uphold by His Mighty Hand. By His grace you stand!!(We stand)

Isa 50:7 Because the Sovereign Lord helps me, I will not be disgraced, Therefore have i set my face like flint, and i know I will not be put to shame.. God Bless you brother Fred. I think your album "Free to Worship" is the best worship album i have heard and i know why. Be encouraged

The bible actually says except for fonication. At this time in the bible a man would be engaged to a woman for a year at which point whe would live with the man and they would have no sexual contact until they were married. During this time if a man were to find something wrong with his wife to be he would write her a bill of divorcement. Because men were writing bills of divorcement for any and everything Jesus said only fonication was a cause for writing a bill of divorcement. So the two were never married. Once your married God doesn't like it no matter what. He will forgive, but the bilble says from the beginning it was not so, pertaining to divorce. God is a God of reconciliation.

Jesus said except for adultery a man should not divorce his wife love is a choice that you make it aint a feeling so i gather the feeling went .. I think your desicion was in the flesh you and your wife because Gods not gonna contradict his word man.You say you prayed about it but why is God going to verify you divorcing your wife? it doesnt make sense. You cant say there is no spiritual attatchment because Gods word says the 2 shall become one flesh and this divorce is a tearing apart of one person is this not true?

I know the thoughts that I think towards Fred Hammond, thots of Peace (shalom - fulness, prosperity, nothing missen or broken...) and to give him a hope, a future and his expected end. - Jer.29:11
The scriptures can't be broken brother, they looked unto him and their faces were lightened and they were not ashamed - Psa.34. God is your strenght, and identifies with you. Thanks for being a blessing.

You have from time past, being a source of inspiration to me. I have always been blessed by every one of your songs. I cant wait to have you here in Nigeria one day.
Just want to assure you that in your darkest night, God still is the shining light. I still believe in the duo of Kim and you.
