Author Publishes First Book Ever Written

Vineland, NJ - September 19, 2007
-Christian author Evangelist Aleechea Pitts has astounded the literary world by writing her first book. Evangelist Pitts seized the opportunity to use her idle time while doing ministry full time. She was inspired by her mother to write. Her mother called her up one day and said, "Have you started writing that book yet?"

Charles Spurgeon said, "If there be one stitch in the celestial garment of our righteousness which we are to insert ourselves, then we are lost, but this is our confidence. The Lord who began will perfect. He has done it all, must do it all, and will do it all. Our confidence must not be in what we have done, nor in what we have resolved to do, but entirely in what the Lord will do." Evangelist Pitts is a great example of the type of author we often encounter on Lulu - she has not only been creative with what she has written but also with how she has written it. The book took 5 months to write.

Evangelist Pitts says: "Only a few years ago I would have struggled to find both the time and the publisher to enable me to create this book. Thanks be unto God, family, friends and Lulu I am now proud to be a published author."

Although the book is titled "The Whole Armor of God," it is not just about spiritual warfare!

First of all I would like to thank my brother Ernest Pitts, Jr. who started me out in playing the keyboard. You guys keep him in prayer. He had a natural and God given talent to play any musical instrument he put his hands on without ever having to take music
lessons. From that point on, I took what he had taught me and started learning on my own and building upon what he showed me. I started trying to play along with tapes and videos. I learned alot by playing for a family based female quartet group called "Transformation". God blessed me where I ended up doing several recordings with them and recorded one of my own songs with them as well.

I've always looked for some type of way to enhance my playing. Local musicians don't want to show or teach any other musician due to inferiority and don't want others to sound like them, I suppose. One day I was surfing the net and came across a site for learning how to play gospel music. It has been quite a blessing to me. Everyone noticed a difference in my playing. My pastor was so astounded that she made me the assistant to the head musician. It has always been my heart desire to play for my church and God granted that to me. Because God gave me the motivation to not give up on my playing and due to websites like the one mentioned, I have achieved much. I get many compliments on my playing from musicians who I hold in high regard. God has opened
many doors for me, now I have pastors and other churches coming to my pastor and myself requesting me to play for their services. I am so grateful and humbled by this experience. I made a vow to myself that I wouldn't be selfish as other muscians are but I would be willing to share what I've learned to help someone else. I believe that God blesses us that we may bless someone else. I know how I felt when others wouldn't give me the time of day to show me how to enhance my style of playing.

At one point in time I had a complex about playing. I was playing in a service behind a preacher and an evangelist was in the audience letting me know that I was in the
wrong key. At that time I had just started back playing by ear in the church. The evangelist came up, found the key and the preacher asked them to continue to play. I didn't have a problem with that.  The problem came in when after the service, I heard the preacher and the evangelist making fun of me being in the wrong key and that's
when I had developed the complex. Years later, I approached the evangelist about it, but they said that they don't ever recall that happening. I never did get a chance to approach the preacher about it.

But I thank God that he delivered me from being inferior to other musicians. I know that there will always be someone out there that is better than I but it is the anointing that makes the difference. You can be a skilled musician so that you cross every I and dot every T but if the anointing is not in it, people are not getting delivered and yokes are not being broken and destroyed it counts for nothing. You have to love and enjoy what you're doing.  King David in the Bible was the ultimate musician. I know God took me through that experience so I wouldn't do it to someone else. I do believe that music theory is very important because once you know theory you don't have to second guess what chord is next. I just started getting into music theory a few years ago. So the answer to your question is this: Man cannot say if it wasn't for me you wouldn't being playing like your playing. God gets the glory out of this!

By Evangelist Aleechea Pitts ©8/29/2007

I am grateful to Christ Jesus our Lord and give him thanks for he has judged me faithful to do this work. Christ has strengthened me to hold this office.

I was a lesbian but I was forgiven because I acted ignorantly. The grace of our Lord overflowed for me. My past offenses have been wiped away and forgotten so that they no longer drag me down at all or leave me in an inferior position against other good people who have received God’s grace, revealing God’s faithfulness and love as he gives his grace to me.

God has transformed me and now I’m a new person. I revel in God’s grace in me which wipes out all memory of my former way of life.

This saying is sure and worthy of acceptance, Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, not righteous people of whom I am the foremost sinner, since I acted in ignorance and the rest of my life seemed blameless to other people. What I’m saying about myself is nothing out of the ordinary.

From the start God showed his grace in me in a most obvious way. I am so overwhelmed with this. The church benefited from me being a lesbian before I was called to be an evangelist. “How?” you might say, that in me Christ might show forth all longsuffering for a pattern to them which should in the future believe on him to life everlasting.

I count it a privilege as well as an honor that God has entrusted me to counsel as well as pray for and pray with those who have been oppressed and possessed by the spirit of lesbianism and homosexuality. I do not take it lightly for these souls have been assigned to my hand (Ezekiel 33:1-9). I have exposed myself for the benefit of those who are struggling in this area. There is a trust I have with those who have come to me in secret that is lodged in me and I am held accountable if I discharge that trust. I am to give warning to sinners of their sin. It is the will of God that the sinner man should be warned. PLEASE VIEW MY BLOG ON THE STRONGHOLD OF HOMOSEXUALITY!

EVANGELIST PITTS REFLECTS ON HER OWN LIFE

That ‘in nothing’ I have reason to be ashamed of ‘my work for God or his work in me’ [ALFORD], but that with all ‘boldness’ Christ ‘shall be magnified’ in my life.

As a child I always had a zeal for God’s word. To know Christ is more than merely to know a doctrine about him. The objective ground of confidence for the believer is the righteousness or perfect holiness of Christ appropriated by faith and it is also a subjective principle of life.

My life before I came into the knowledge of Christ was ‘refuse’ and has been thrown away as not worthy of being touched anymore or looked at.

I once was lost and have been ‘found’ and I hope to be perfectly ‘found’ by him (Luke 15:8). I was transported from the bondage of lesbianism into Christian freedom at once. The bands of lesbianism were loosed instantaneously and opposition to this lifestyle took the place of opposition to the Gospel. God’s providence fitly prepared me for the work of overthrowing all ideas of justifying lesbianism.

I do not wish to be understood as saying that I have obtained a perfect knowledge of Christ or am already perfected and perfection absolutely reached. ‘I press on’ that I may lay hold on (the prize, Philippians 3:14 which is the ‘crown of righteousness’, ‘crown of life’ and ‘a crown of glory that fades not away’ for which also I was laid hold on by Christ at my conversion, 1 Corinthians 13:12). He who counts himself perfect deceives himself by calling sin an infirmity (1 John 1:8), at the same time, in order to be a Christian one must aim at perfection (Matthew 5:48). The Christian is always humbled by the contrast between what he is and what he desires to be.

Therefore ‘as many of us, as are perfect,’ that is, full grown (no longer ‘babes’) in the Christian life (Philippians 3:3, ‘worshipping God in the spirit, and having no confidence in the flesh’), 1 Corinthians 2:6, fully established in things of God, ‘beware of the concision’. Follow not evil doers, because they are ‘many’ (Exodus 23:2). [They are the enemies of the cross of Christ in their practice, whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly (Romans 16:18), who mind earthly things. (Romans 8:5)] For our citizenship: our life as citizens is in heaven. We are but pilgrims on earth; how then should we ‘mind earthly things?’ (Hebrews 11:13-16) We wait for the Lord Jesus as a Savior. (Hebrews 9:28) He is ‘the Lord’, now exalted above every name, assures our expectation (Philippians 2:9-11). Our High Priest is gone up into the Holy of Holies to atone for us. ‘Who shall transfigure the body in which our humiliation has taken place (2 Corinthians 4:10), in which His glory is manifested that it may be conformed in our body according to the effectual working.’ Not only shall He come as our ‘Savior’, but also as our Glorifier.
