One Spoken Word – Dillon Chase

Dillon Chase initially came onto the scene out of Denton TX. To summarize the driving force behind making music Dillon says; I desire that my music glorifies God, builds up believers, and evangelizes the lost. He started rapping at the age of 14 in 1999, making every effort to grow in his craft. Originally a product of a home ridden with parents who struggled with alcohol and drug addiction, Dillon was destined for a life of struggling. But in 2004, by Gods grace-Dillon recognized the importance of the redeeming blood of Christ to pay the price for his sin. He turned from serving his own selfish ambitions and submitted to the will of God. Six years later the grace of God showed evidence in his parents life as well.
Overtime Dillon began to use his gifts as a way to create a platform to proclaim the gospel. In early 2007,Dillons life of servitude was seen and acknowledged through fellow Christians Lecrae and Sho Baraka, thus inviting him to be a part of the 116 Clique project 13 Letters. Currently Dillon continues to produce holy lyrics with a style and flare all his own, emphasizing being a walking testimony off the stage as well as on the stage, of Gods glory and redemptive power.
In September of 2008 Dillon signed with Kingdom City Records and released two projects with them; The Pursuit and Pause. Coupling his passion as a minister/street evangelist with Stand Out Ministries, Dillon grew exponentially as an artist, husband and father. Featured on such albums as the 13 Letters Compilation produced by Reach Records and Sho Barakas debut album Turn My Life Up, Dillon has nationwide exposure and nationwide acclaim. Although he receives accolades and applause for his music; he fights to remain humble, resting in the shadow of Jesus Christ perfect work on the cross. Initially releasing The Pursuit regionally to much acclaim Dillon Chase was later able to reach a national audience with the national re-release of the project. With his dirty south bangers, smooth contemporary cuts, and amazing lyricism, it proves to be a thought evoking, passion building collection of songs. The video for the single Walk Worthy featuring Tedashii reached thousands with a message to please God in private and public life.
Dillon Chase is currently touring with Stand Out Ministries in various cities along with ministering in his local body, and prisons in the state of Oklahoma.

What Monsters Do You Fight?

Check Out Revelaytor Music Here

My friend, Jon the Revelaytor, just released a powerful song that reminds me that I have the ability to fight in the midst of fear.

To be honest, the struggle is real.  Whether somebody is messing with your head, or you have decided a wrong direction due to your own human programming, there seems to be a WAR INSIDE, lying beneath.

It is like you are FIGHTING MONSTERS that only you can see. Sometimes they are the reality of life, and other times, the scars of life seem to become those monsters hiding behind the door, late at night, when you least expect them.

This WAR can get the best of us and lead to extreme consequences.  

  • When we have been wronged, we jump to ANGER to lash out and solve a problem
  • When we see an injustice, protests turn to riots and buildings are burned down
  • When we feel restricted and anxious, we rebell and try to break free of whatever restrictions we are living under

Think about the WAR inside YOU.  How have you seen, living in your very own skin, the extreme reactions and consequences of your actions?

Sometimes the actions we take make us feel like the MONSTER. We feel like something else is controlling our thoughts and actions and can’t find a way out. Paul relates to this struggle inside us in Romans Chapter 7.

“What I don’t understand about myself is that I decide one way, but then I act another, doing things I absolutely despise.”

Romans 7:15 MSG

The TRUTH is that we have power in JESUS NAME to find freedom and push back in the fight. The struggles in our daily lives do not have to keep us captive to fear.

Paul goes on to say

“I’ve tried everything and nothing helps. I’m at the end of my rope. Is there no one who can do anything for me? Isn’t that the real question?

The answer, thank God, is that Jesus Christ can and does. He acted to set things right in this life of contradictions where I want to serve God with all my heart and mind, but am pulled by the influence of sin to do something totally different.”

Romans 7:24-25

Jesus Christ brings FREEDOM and CONFIDENCE to win the fight. In fact, he is the source of power that gives us the strength to pick up our heads and move forward.

WHAT MONSTERS ARE YOU FIGHTING TODAY?

LOOK TO JESUS FOR THE POWER TO PUSH BACK

Was Jonah Really Swallowed By A Big Fish?

‘Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the fish, saying, “I called out to the Lord , out of my distress, and he answered me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and you heard my voice. For you cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the flood surrounded me; all your waves and your billows passed over me. Then I said, ‘I am driven away from your sight; yet I shall again look upon your holy temple.’ The waters closed in over me to take my life; the deep surrounded me; weeds were wrapped about my head at the roots of the mountains. I went down to the land whose bars closed upon me forever; yet you brought up my life from the pit, O Lord my God. When my life was fainting away, I remembered the Lord , and my prayer came to you, into your holy temple. Those who pay regard to vain idols forsake their hope of steadfast love. But I with the voice of thanksgiving will sacrifice to you; what I have vowed I will pay. Salvation belongs to the Lord !” And the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out upon the dry land.’ Jonah 2:1-10
