00:01 Magnify the Lord with me
00:04 Magnify the Lord 00:08 Jesus alone is worthy 00:11 Magnify Him 00:17 Hello everyone and welcome to Magnify Him. 00:20 My name is Duawne Starling. 00:21 And I'm Yvonne Lewis. 00:23 Thank you for tuning in. 00:24 We know that you're gonna receive 00:26 a special blessing today. 00:28 Today, we have two very special artists 00:30 with two distinct styles of music 00:32 yet their focus is the same, to magnify Him. 00:35 So as you listen to Rebekah and Justin minister 00:38 in song I am confident that you'll be blessed. 00:42 So stay tune and we lift up 00:44 the name of Jesus and magnify Him. 00:46 Magnify the Lord with me 00:49 Magnify Him 00:54 I am sitting here with Rebekah Willis, 00:57 a wonderful, wonderful, 00:59 talented gifted song stress for the Lord. 01:02 It's so nice to meet you. Welcome to Magnify Him. 01:05 Thanks you. I am so pleased to be here. 01:06 Oh, well, we are so grateful that you would come 01:09 and bless us with your ministry. 01:11 Your voice is just so beautiful. 01:15 Your whole family sings. 01:16 Your sister also is an artist with us this season as well. 01:20 Tell us about your family. 01:22 What kind of family did you grew up in? 01:24 I grew in a ministerial family. Okay. 01:27 Everything in our home was about pleasing God 01:30 and learning how to use everything you had 01:32 to the best of your ability. 01:33 We didn't have everything. 01:35 My parents came from very different backgrounds 01:37 but they took what they had and they used it. 01:40 And for us we took what they gave us 01:43 and we're trying to use it even more. 01:45 Yes. 01:46 You know, we actually went from-- 01:49 we did evangelistic meetings growing up 01:52 and there were five of us, five of their children-- 01:56 siblings of mine, one brother, four girls. 01:59 Wow. 02:00 So there was no shortage of things to do 02:03 around the house and because everybody 02:06 has a personality that's deep and strong, 02:08 you know, you always got to hear the critics. 02:13 My four of my best critics are four people 02:15 that love me the most, you know, 02:17 and my parts don't pull punches and things like that 02:19 but it's all in love and it's never hurtful 02:22 because the idea is to develop your talent, 02:25 whatever your talent maybe to the best of your ability 02:29 so that you can use it for God, be useful in His kingdom 02:31 because otherwise there's no other reason to be here. 02:34 Yes, yes. For sure. 02:36 So with your siblings, do they all sing? 02:40 Do all of your siblings sing? 02:41 All of them sing. 02:43 My brother is actually a pastor now 02:46 and he is little reticent to sing sometimes 02:49 because he's gotten used to just doing all the speaking 02:52 and writing and things like that. 02:55 So but the rest of us do keep up singing. 02:58 My sister, Tanika, she lives in the Huntsville area 03:02 and she sings and my sister Heather, 03:06 she sings in Michigan and my other sister, 03:08 Heather, they some time sing together. 03:10 And they like to sing together. 03:11 So it's a real hard, you know when there are five of you 03:14 and you know, five fingers make fist. 03:15 And then all of a sudden one by one people go away. 03:18 You have to remake your ministry. 03:20 Yes. 03:21 But the good thing is God already knew 03:23 what was in our future. 03:24 Amen. So tell us about your ministry. 03:26 Where are you going with it? What are you doing? 03:28 Well, listen, I have had the most interesting life, 03:32 one of these days I may tell you about it. 03:34 Well, you know what? 03:35 I'll have you on another program 03:36 and have you come and talk to us about it. 03:38 Well, you know, it's all miracles. 03:40 From beginning to the end the Lord has just guided 03:43 and taking care of me and so having had 03:48 the good instruction from my parents. 03:49 You know, Bible says, 03:51 "train up a child in the way he should go." 03:52 Yes. 03:53 Having had that instruction 03:55 my life comes from being close to God. 03:58 That's where I can live and breathe and have my being. 04:02 You know what I am saying? Yes. Yes. 04:04 And so for me, when I didn't get 04:07 what I thought He wanted me to have 04:09 I realize that I was kicking against he pricks, 04:13 as the Lord told Saul it's hard to kick against the pricks. 04:16 You need to turn around and listen 04:17 to what I am telling you to do. 04:18 Yes. 04:20 And so I focused all of my energy, instead of saying, 04:22 well, Lord, I know You want me to do this 04:24 but I need to have an income. 04:27 I focused all of my energy on teaching, 04:31 teaching the gospel. 04:33 Writing, couldn't get away from writing. 04:35 You know my mother taught us to write when we were little 04:38 and I can't get away from that, you know. 04:40 Are we talking about writing songs or 04:41 Writing music, writing-- 04:43 I actually just wrote a book, you know. 04:45 Wonderful. 04:47 But writing and whatever He gives me 04:49 that's what I want to do. 04:51 Well, you know what, you are going 04:53 to bless our socks off today by the grace of God 04:56 because there's an anointing on you and your ministry 05:00 and we just praise the Lord for it. 05:02 So thank you so much for being with us today. 05:04 Well, I appreciate the opportunity. 05:07 Rebekah, what is it that you want 05:08 our viewers to know about you and your ministry? 05:11 Well, our ministry is about feeding others. 05:14 So they can go to katyrecords.org, 05:16 that's K-A-T-Y records.org and find lots of information, 05:21 free downloads, teachings that are available, 05:23 all biblically sound. 05:25 Amen. That's so great. 05:27 You know, viewers, it's so important 05:29 that we appreciate our artists on Magnify Him 05:34 because they really do want to minister. 05:38 So take a look at Rebekah and be blessed. 05:43 I was alone and standing in the portal 05:48 All I was seeking was locked into my storeroom 05:53 Thought I had beaten the system, still had more room 05:57 Nothing escapes Your view 06:02 What I was doing was trying to sneak in my way 06:07 Just like the dragon who took the wider highway 06:12 There is no secret with You. 06:14 I can't get by Say nothing escapes Your view 06:20 You're the truth and the Love that lights up the avenue 06:27 Do not let me lose You 06:30 All I have 06:32 Only death, ends the stubborn, broken path 06:37 Give me eyesight so I can see 06:45 What is this thing that is coming over me now? 06:50 I want to be in the way, I'll get the know-how 06:55 Faith comes by hearing, rebuke me, changing my style 07:00 Nothing escapes Your view 07:04 Oh, how I love You 07:06 I see all You have given 07:09 Never too much could you ask, for You I'm living 07:14 Sought me, You saved me, I won't look back right then 07:19 Nothing escapes Your view 07:23 You're the Truth and the Love that lights up the avenue 07:30 Do not let me lose You 07:32 All I have 07:35 Only death, ends the stubborn, broken path 07:39 Give me eyesight so I can see 07:47 When I was alone and standing in the portal 07:52 All I was seeking was locked into my storeroom 07:57 Thought I had beaten the system, still had more room 08:02 Nothing escapes Your view 08:07 Precious, You're Awesome! 08:09 My foundation is so sound 08:12 Gifted, You keep me, 08:13 I'm sleeping through the night now 08:16 No longer gauging my wealth by my accounts now 08:21 Nothing escapes Your view 08:33 Strong person will try to solve every problem 08:36 that comes their way. 08:38 Well, we don't have to do that.

Glad to be here. 14:29 Bless you, man. 14:30 So I tell you one of the things I love about you 14:33 is that you're a worshipper, 14:35 not just a worship leader but a worshipper. 14:38 What is this-- I guess the things 14:39 that you do to kind of get into God's presence? 14:44 It's often through reflection of things that God 14:47 has brought you through those testimonies in life 14:49 that really allow you to connect 14:52 to a place of gratitude, a place of thanksgiving 14:56 and for me that's what worship is about, 14:58 honoring God for what He's done in my life 15:00 and also for who He is. 15:01 So the songs that you've sung tonight-- 15:03 I know we've heard one already 15:05 and we're about to hear another one. 15:06 Are those songs that you're written? 15:08 Songs I've written and co-written. 15:09 Okay. 15:10 Very good. Very good. 15:12 Now are you working on something now or? 15:13 Yeah, those two songs are actually 15:15 from my first project. 15:16 Okay. Entitle Fear Not, it's a EP. 15:19 I love that. 15:20 And my newest record coming soon will be 15:22 a full length worship project 15:23 and so I'm beginning to write songs for that 15:25 and connect with different writers and folks. 15:28 So I am really excited about that. 15:29 Very nice. Very nice. 15:30 And you're also a family man? 15:32 Yes, sir. I am married almost four years. 15:34 Excellent. 15:35 My wife is actually a pastor. So I am a pastor's husband. 15:38 A pastor's husband. 15:41 So one wife, one child? 15:44 Yes, sir. 15:45 Very good, very good. 15:47 I tell you what, 15:48 some of the things that I love about, 15:50 you know, ministry is seeing couples minister together. 15:54 Is there ever a time 15:56 when you guys on the road together 15:57 or she's speaking and you're singing. 16:00 No, it hasn't been often yet. 16:01 Okay. 16:03 We're both still developing in our ministry journeys. 16:06 But ultimately-- when we got married 16:07 of course when we dated, we saw that God 16:09 will have a ministry for us both. 16:10 And so we're really waiting 16:12 for that perfect timing as it were. 16:14 But defiantly when we are at the same church 16:16 at times or ministering the same place 16:18 I'll often sing a song of meditation for her. 16:21 So it's a beautiful thing to be able to minister with my wife. 16:23 And what church are you currently attending? 16:25 We currently attending 16:26 the Atlanta Berean Church in Atlanta, Georgia, 16:28 where she servers as an associate pastor there. 16:30 Excellent. Excellent. 16:32 This is-- I tell you, 16:34 this is a good information 16:36 because I believe you need to be heard 16:39 and she needs to be heard. 16:41 And I'd love to see more opportunities 16:43 for you guys to minister together. 16:45 Yeah. 16:46 It That would be awesome 16:48 to minister more often with my wife. 16:49 I'd love it. 16:50 Yeah, maybe we'll get to see that, 16:52 you know, her speaking and you singing. 16:53 Yes, sir. 16:54 So in your music, are you more of a songwriter 16:57 or you co-writing or how do you-- 17:00 I wrote a lot of songs that I sing and minister 17:03 and I have a great friend Michael O'Hare, 17:05 he's out of Guelph, Ontario. 17:06 We went to Oakwood together. 17:07 He's my favorite writer, my favorite co-writer. 17:09 Really? 17:10 One of my greatest inspirations for Christian songwriting. 17:13 Now who else have you listen to? 17:14 Who else has inspired you? 17:16 I am heavily inspired by Byron Cage. 17:18 I love his ministry. 17:20 Of course you may-- you've been a blessing 17:22 to look up to and to hear Oakwood stories as well. 17:24 So that's powerful. 17:26 I tell you what, it's been a pleasure having you here 17:29 and I know it will be a pleasure to hear you. 17:31 Every time I hear you I am blessed. 17:33 Praise the Lord.
