| Releases: | [The Campaign] [The Campaign (pre-release)] [Change The Game] | | Info: | Mike Shelton was born on October 8th 1982 and raised in
Fortsmith, Arkansas. He now resides in Fort Smith. Even
though he was faced with a lot of adversity in his life. If
you wanted to sum Mike's life up with one word it would
have to be "survivor". A lot of people ask me all the time
why do I do what I do? The MC says: The answer is very
simple. "Change the game" meaning to be yourself not
what's on TV or what everyone else wants you to be. You
have to understand that I haven't always been like this.
My Answer
Growing up I never had a father. Don't know who my father
is to this day. As a teen I always found myself searching
for that one thing that would fill the holes in my life. I
wasn't complete so I thought by having sex before marriage
that would be my answer. I thought by stealing, I thought
that was my answer. I thought by running with street gangs
being accepted I thought that was my answer.
Empty
You could always find me in the clubs, gone off dranks and
high off drugs... I thought all that was my answer. I
thought by me dranking myself to sleep was my answer. I was
constantly looking and looking, but it just made me more
empty on the inside. One night I'll never forget it, my
pastor told me that "God has a calling on my life to go in
the ministry" I was like "man this guy has tobe crazy!
Only reason I came to church was to holla at women." So I
didnt pay much mind to it.
Revival
About 3 months later I was at a revival.The man of God
preaching that revival I never met him and while he was
preaching he stopped in mid sentance, came up to me and told
me in front of 300 people that "The Holy Spirit told him to
tell me that God is calling me to the ministry." Well that
freaked me out a little bit so I asked God in my life...
Hard
Well I came to realise really quick that this christian life
is hard to do and the life I was living, I wasn't through
with it. That was a lie straight from the devil himself. So
I quit church, and I went back to my old lifestyle. Well a
christian friend of mine tricked me one night, and said
there was a rap concert and he wanted me to go so I was like
"aight bet.."
Boy Band
Well when we got there, there was a band, that was a
"christian boy band", and I got mad b/c I didn't want to
listen to some christian backstreet boys. so I went to the
very back and just sat there. While they were singing the
lead singer told them to turn the music down and walked in
the crowd and came straight to me and said "The whole time
I was up here singing the Holy Spirit told me to tell you
that he is calling you to be in the ministry."
Yelling
Man I went home and cried and was yelling at God saying
"why do you want me!?!?" "I want to do my own thing!"
all of a sudden out of nowhere God spoke to me in a real
voice and this is what he said "Michael if you get in my
will and do what I have called you to do I will take you
places you never thought you would go". I'll let you do
things you never thought you would do and I'll let you see
things you never thought you would see" and that was the
night I dedicated myself to God...
Counterfeit
I realized all that stuff I was putting in my life was
counterfeit, and God was the only thing that could fill the
void and the holes in my life. Now you can find me preaching
this gospel, and telling people that sex before marriage
isn't your answer, drugs isn't your answer, being a part
of a gang or a click isn't your answer. God is your answer!
I just give God all the Glory for everything.
