116 needs you! by LeCrae

Type: blog By lecrae Posted June 7th, 2008 49 Comments

I'm in a constant state of Rebellion.
I'm turning my back on the culture and turning to the word of Christ.

This summer I'm be on tour with the 1-1-SIX Clique.
Pray Pray Pray Pray for us cause our Unashamed Tour is set out to try to deeply impact all who God would have listen.
How you can be praying for us.

Well, some of our family members are very sick.
Some of us have wives and kids that are alone for the summer. The road is full of temptation, room for bitterness, and divisiveness.

Most of all we have a common enemy in Satan.
The word Satan, means an adversary; this shows us the chief of evil, who got thrown down for trying to be God, now has permission "with the rest of his spiritual wickedness's in high places, to walk up and down, seeking whom he may devour." He is called Satan, in the book of Job, where we are told, that "when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, Satan also came amongst them." Sometimes he is called the evil One, because he is evil in himself, and tempts us to evil.

I don't think much of us as a crew, we are imperfect men.
We are striving for holiness, humility, and Godliness. But I do believe God has permitted Satan to test us. Pray for us as we are tested. Pray also for our flesh cuz it's weak and I don't trust it!

Satan is crafty he tries to draw us into sin by presenting the bait-and hiding the hook.
He shows us the golden cup but hides the poison. He shows us the sweet pleasure and profit that feels so good to ya soul by giving in to sin, but hides from our soul the wrath, misery, and pain that follows the sin. That's how he got Adam and Eve and in Gen 3:4-5. Spitting game at em like "Your eyes shall be opened, and you shall be as gods!" Here is the bait, the sweet, the pleasure, the
profit. Oh, but he hides the hook, the shame, the wrath, and the loss that comes next!

Pray for us cause there is a lot of bait out here.
Bait to lie, cheat, be unforgiving, selfish, and angry.
We've been praying, fasting, memorizing scripture, and pursuing holiness and when we hit your city we want the name of the Lord to be magnified on high and His eternal Word to go forth. Pray for us.

Ya boy Crayola

  • Ashley (Jun 7th at 3:46 PM) 116 Clique! you guys are all in my prayers. Your music hits my soul and fills my Spirit everyday!! I got you guys in my prayers every morning and night. You keep me strong in my faith. God got you and your families covered! I can't wait to see you all in Boston!! God bless you much love and peace!
  • jeremy (Jun 7th at 4:39 PM) 116 , a truth that is totally over looked today is the truth of applying our lives to God's word. We tend to instead apply his word to our lives ,which leave us in control to apply as little or as much as WE feel like (ex. would be a women applying on make up either a little or a lot. ) Instead of a surrender of our lives to the Word . EX. of a proper application would be , when Noah got a word from GOD did he fit it in HIS schedule to build a ark or did he from then on wrap his entire life around God's WORD.
    What about Mary when he she was told she would bare the Savior of the world did she just fit him into her shedule or was her whole life wrap around God's word. Lecrae and the members of 116 ,I write this to you so you can walk in confeidence in Christ. romans 8:28-30 Just let Christ minister to you and through you. We have the gift of the Holy Spirit may we be stewards of HIS gift. Love you guys and hope to see ya'll in jacksonville ,fl on june 21st.

  • DJ DAVIS (Jun 7th at 11:11 PM) ALREADY BRO!!!!!!LETS GET 2 PRAYIN
  • G.O.S (Jun 7th at 11:30 PM) WE WILL KEEP U IN OUR PRAYERS
  • Beth (Jun 9th at 12:32 AM) I'll be praying for you and your families. I will pray that God will put a hedge of protection around you, your families and homes. Thank God for wives and kids of His missionaries and pastors, they are true heroes, holding down the fort so that God's Word can be spread. I'll pray that you guys will be strong against attacks. You are prime targets, because you are soulwinners. I'll pray that the message you give each night is the unadulterated Word of God and that the lives you touch will be forever changed. I'll pray for the young souls you all will be affecting, that they will know God and will grow and be obedient in their spiritual walk. I'll also pray for strength and endurance for you all. Thanks for taking on such a beautiful ministry. God Bless! See you in Seattle.
  • Jesse (Jun 9th at 11:02 AM) What up Crae. Man thank u for comin to H-town on the Unashamed Tour spreadin the gospel with such passion and love for God and his people. No doubt the Body of Christ got ya back. I pray for yall all the time and will continue to do so. Hope the wifey is doin ok after everything. For the rest of the guys Sho, Tripp and Tedashii thank yall as well and know that you all are an inspiration to many (more than u think). Hey and whenever u get down remember the script in 1 Chronicles 28: 20 "Then David continued, Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Dont be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. He will see to it that all the work related to the Temple of the Lord is finished correctly." Keep it up Fam. One love.

    Ya boy Jesse
  • Erik (Jun 10th at 9:19 AM) I appreciate deeply you alls brokeness and openness before us. This magnifies even greater that we are family in Christ. I was just thinking recently how important it is to be praying faithfully for the fam in the hhh/rp community. Not only is there the general daily battle with the flesh that all beleivers fight but there are also added pressures and temptations that come along with serving God in such a public (and I imagine also sometimes faced-paced, land lonely) way. I love yall and pray that God will give me the grace to lift you all and your families up in prayer more often. I encourage all of you (and all beleivers) , while your on tour and always, to make repentence to God and one another (and to your families) a daily, natural, genuine lifestyle. God is so glorified in our brokeness to him and one another. And relationships can grow so deeper with this humble love. This is another way to be radical for Christ-daily brokeness-a trait that the world (and sometimes even the Church) does not hold with high esteem, but God does-Psalm 32.
    Much love,
    Erik
  • Min. Armstrong (Jun 10th at 9:29 AM) praise God 4 u'll bros holden God in TX.

  • Jeremy (Jun 11th at 11:21 AM) Struggles come, I know, but remember that God chose us as we were running as fast and as hard AWAY from Him as we could. He elected you and equipped you for every good work by the power of the Holy Spirit. Even when your life doesn't seem to reflect Him, God sees you cloaked in the righteousness of Christ. Thank you father for the blood that you shed for your servants and thank you for the ministry you have given them. I pray that you continue to shape their view of who you are and who they are in you. May your word Sanctify them and may your Spirit guide them in all things. I pray against anxiety and the need to meet deadlines and please everybody, Lord, may they continually let their requests be made known to you and may your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Use them as they spread your word and may they always give you the glory.
  • Jenn (Jun 11th at 4:43 PM) I will definetley keep you brothers in my prayers as ya'll hit the road and always...til' Kingdom come!!!

  • bballmaster017@yahoo.com (Jun 19th at 5:13 AM) i'll be Prayin for You hard. People need God more than ever in this "Get it Now and Gotta Have it" Culture we live in. it's so easy to get wrapped up in cars, money, clothes or whatever your passion is. remember matthew "wherever your treasure is your heart will be also"
  • YoungSolomon (Jun 19th at 6:34 AM) I'm definitely keeping you brothers in my prayers. Yes temptation is lurking at every corner so keep your eyes on Christ. I'm sorry to hear the concert in Austin has been cancelled. I will be attending the one in Miami. I'm bringing an unsaved friend. I pray that this experience may have a life changing impact on him.
  • Roosevelt (Jun 19th at 11:24 AM) Not Mos Def the MC, but you all are most definately in my prayers. You are an inspiration and a blessing (Glory be to God). Stay firm in the Word, Live in the Spirit and Contend for the Faith.
    Peace and Blessings
  • Purpose (Jun 20th at 7:49 AM) Yo, Ima pray for yall cuz its just something that we gotta do for each other. Make God's word known man. Be safe and STAY BLESSED.
  • Jworm (Jun 21st at 9:52 PM) Hey, just wanted to say that I appreciate your music and your representing the truth. I can't even begin to imagine the spiritual warfare that y'all go through by being in the spotlight. I'm glad that you put no trust in the flesh, and I will pray that God will strengthen you and deliver you from all evil and present you as blameless. I know He will use you to put His glory on display. Keep representing our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.
  • HeavenzCiTiZin (Jun 23rd at 7:17 PM) Hey, i first of all wanted to thank you for all that u do for God. Your music is deep and i love the message. i just wanted to let u know that i totally, 100% support u. i will be praying for u. Keep repping the name of the Most High and your reward shall be great.
  • JMID 4 (Jun 24th at 1:57 AM) I know what it's like to be the one at home with kids while my husband is out of town for the ministry. It does take a great deal of prayer. As a wife it was hard at first but when my husband reassured me that his family was first no matter what then that allowed for me to understand what he had to do outside of the home for the work of the kingdom. Let your wives and children know that they are first and reasure them that this is the calling that God has on your lives right now. The prayers of your wives are the first defense when temptation comes. You have the prayers of your supporters but the prayers of your family means so much more.
  • Bryon Isaac (Jul 1st at 10:53 AM) Fo sho Crae! Yall know yall in my prayers, keep uplifting the name of Christ, don't forget, we in this with yall! 116 for lyfe

  • Convicted (Jul 3rd at 11:52 AM) I can't imagine the depths of these things...but as an artist myself, I only tour the state on a small scale and the little time my family is alone is sometimes tuff...so I am praying for your families as well. I am glad that your families support your ministry and hope that they know that they are a part of it just by supporting you, especially wives.I cant wait to see yall in Orlando soon!
  • RoxAnn (Jul 9th at 3:22 PM) I would like to say thank you for providing music to my children. My son has over 400 Christian Hip Hop songs on his IIPOD. He calls it "renewing his mind." Your concert in Seattle was outstanding and we all left energized and renewed. I am blessed to be a single parent of two children -- ages 10 and 15. Your music continues to provide both of them with an unwavering sense of their faith -- we listen to your CDs in the car during our commute, and on the weekends while cleaning house. I find myself listening to it even when my kids are not in the car and while working out. Please continue to be Unshamed -- I pray you come back to the Seattle area soon -- it was and will always be one of my family's cherished moments -- together listening and learning -- it has also helped with out communication -- You rock!

    God Bless!
  • Jamie (Jul 23rd at 12:57 AM) God has really laid on my heart the lives of those who grew up and experienced abuse on the streets--those in gangs, drugs, poverty, abusive relationships, and hopelessness. Finding you and all you are doing has really been inspiring and a complete answer to prayer. You are on my heart and in my prayers. God bless you and what you are doing!
  • alexus ashlee amber (Jul 23rd at 5:35 PM) hi you guys i was wondering if you guys could get a concert n dc. my sisters and i love your music my mom lovs yuou 2 we r prayin bye
  • Morgan (Jul 24th at 5:23 PM) Hi there 116 clique. I am praying for you my brothers and God is keeping watch over His children most definitely. There is no worrys when we have Jesus! I will be attending your concert in san bernardino this sunday. I am so excited. I have been introducing others to your music, the real music and telling them to get off that secular junk. We need to "Glorify the Lord with what we listen too." I know everyone who will be there will be blessed. Thank You so much for just being that light that God shines through to reach me as well as many others. I love you guys. I will be seeing you at the concert. God bless!!!!!

    your sister in the faith,

    Morgan
  • Michelle (Jul 26th at 10:54 AM) Recently at one of your shows I noticed that two 116 clique members had a 116 tattoo. As Christians, we understand that it is against the Word of God. "He who is emasculated by crushing or mutilation shall not enter the assembly of the LORD." Deutoronomy 23:1 I also understand that many people have tattoos before they come to Christ, which is justified. The thing that stood out is that it was a 116 tattoo... I'm afraid this can give others a bad impression and I wanted to know your views on this issue.
  • Cedric (Jul 27th at 6:06 AM) Sister, that verse is about something very different--please research that chapter a little deeper.
  • Michael Edwards (Aug 3rd at 9:19 PM) In Paul's writing to the church in Ephesus he tells them, "...be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." So as a believer myself, I send exhortation to the 1.1.Six clique. I pray the through God's grace you all are able to withstand temptation. James 1:12 says, "Blessed is the man who endure temptation." So remember brothers and sisters, as long as we seek God as His Word resonates in our hearts and is carried out through our actions, "no weapon" formed against us shall prosper . It's really simple. If God is for us, who can be against us? NOBODY! (Trip shot out!).

    Blessings,
    Michael Edwards
  • Lorenzo (Aug 3rd at 9:49 PM) We have to learn that in Christ we are perfect. In Hebrews 10:14 it saids that through Christ giving his life we are made perfect. Also in Ephesians it states that he has pesented us to himself without spot or wrinkle. If sin is the thing that makes us imperfect, and through Christ our sins are washed away, then we are no longer imperfect. There are a lot more scriptures on Perfection in Christ, I just hope people learn to walk in this Truth.

    Nothing but Love,
    Lorenzo
  • Brandon (Aug 12th at 4:25 PM) what up 116 fam? First i praise God for yall brothers. My intrest is on the tattoos and whats your reason behind getting Romans 1:16 tatted? I'v heard other peoples veiws on the matter but they didn't help me understand why. Shed your veiw
  • Jake (Aug 14th at 8:51 AM) Honestly there is a lot of things that are in the old testament that we do not follow since we are not under the law. Like eating pork. The Jews were told not to get tats because the people around them were using them as a form of worshiping other Gods. Today in the US people that get tats are not using them as a form of worship. So there is nothing wrong with them. Plus in Revelation 19:16 hints of Jesus coming back with a tat on his thigh. :-)

    Keep up the great work guys!
  • Brandon (Aug 18th at 5:21 PM) People in the U.S. get tats for a lot of different reasons; like in memory of a love one, gang related, a dope picture and etc. But my question would be seeing that I got a tat before I came to Christ what would justify me getting one now. I can't say it's to represent the Lord cause my life should rep the king, not art work in my flesh. And who took a needle and ink to Jesus thigh? That sounds ill. We need to look a little deeper in the text.
  • ROG (Aug 19th at 11:34 AM) im from the Seychelles in a gruop called the S4C-Soldiers 4 CHRIST!we organising a b-boy battle beginnin of september pray 4 us as we do drama songs ,spread the gospel to bring d youths lost to be in CHRIST.pray 4 us also as we keep all of uus in prayers.Amen.Praiz GOD,n we got a mixtape coming up soon following wit an album.2Tim.2:3...116 clique rocs!Blessed Be the name of the LORD!

  • Daddy's Girl (Oct 26th at 7:22 PM) I pray that our Father in Heaven would command the host of Heaven to fight on ya'll behalf! In the mighty name of Jesus, your ministry is reaching on levels that were never heard of. You all will remain in our prayers. Your wives, your children, your crew, and God's minstry thru all of you walk in the blessing, favor, and providence of God! Keep sounding off! Your testimonies bring hope!
