In His Own Words: Bishop Rance Allen Reveals Real Meaning of Latest Hit Song
**Courtesy of Fred Willis,
“SoulProsper Media”, Ty-Scot Music and Entertainment
* Lead In by Deborah A.
Culp
For many years audiences
worldwide have been blessed by and thoroughly enjoyed the gift of Gospel Music,
ministered in song by the anointed Bishop Rance Allen and company. That noted
company being the other members who make up the award winners known as: “The
Rance Allen Group.” And glory to God, it just keeps getting better as the
groups kingdom work continues sharing this form of God’s love with his people.
The Rance Allen Group's
hit radio single "A Lil' Louder (Clap Your Hands)" has listeners
across the country groovin' along to its driving bassline and catchy hook. Though the group wants you to dance, they
also want to ensure that fans truly get the song's true meaning. With the goal to be an inspiration and share
their wisdom, they are excited about sharing this time in praising God. They
want the dancers to dance and the praisers to praise, all for our Father.
According to Bishop Rance
Allen, "A Lil' Louder (Clap Your Hands)" is more than just a
danceable tune. In a recent interview
with Soul Prosper Media, Allen explains that "A Lil' Louder" was
created to encourage those who are experiencing difficult trials. The discouragement that is felt during those
times can cause people to retreat or give up but Bishop Allen strongly suggests
that we should do the opposite. He says
that this song will serve as an important reminder.
"If you're going
through anything...remember that God is going to get you through. God never fails, God is always good,"
said Allen.
The Rance Allen Group is
known for blending popular music with the gospel message and their new album,
Celebrate, is a continuation of this beloved musical style. Celebrate will be available in stores and
online November 10th but fans don't have to wait until then to hear some
exciting new music. Consumers who
pre-order the digital album prior to its street date, will instantly receive a
new remix of the group's timeless classic, "Something About the Name
Jesus" featuring Kirk Franklin. Pre-order options can be found via
I-Tunes.

Matter" Mock Funeral event will take place In Nashville, TN. Tuesday October 21, 2014, beginning at 11:00
am CST. One of the" All Lives Matter" activities will consist of a
Mock Funeral procession at the War Memorial Plaza, which is also called

activities is as follows: The group will
assemble at the War Memorial Plaza, awaiting the arrival of the Hearse. The
"All Lives Matter” event highlights the nearly 170,000 Tennesseans who are
without health care because state leaders continue to deny them access to
Medicaid. Some of these people will die or experience economic despair for lack
of coverage. There are also 50 hospitals
that are at financial risk because of the denial of Medicaid, four of which have
already closed, and Medicaid denial has cost the state $2.7 million daily. Help is still needed and appreciated! Why? Everybody knows somebody that is
affected by Medicare Expansion if not, be glad that you don't, stated the TN
NAACP Memo on this event. In addition to
asking everyone to "pass the word" and the areas that are in need of
help in for the mock Funeral.
What can you do? There
is a need People that have been Economic Lynch by Health Care, Honorary
Pallbearers with signs, Active "hands on" Pallbearers, Flower Ladies
and Flower Girls with signs. As with any
funeral service, words of Comfort and Musicians are needed as well.
An open call asking
everyone to consider joining the Tennessee NAACP and health care advocates in
declaring that "All Lives Matter", was sent out. The TN NAACP believes that there is an
urgent need for Tennesseans to come together and proclaim that "All Lives
Matter". It is not necessary to be a Tennessean to support the NAACP or
the Mock Funeral Service. Summary: Suggested Attire: Black (Funeral Wear) Date:
Tuesday, October 21, 2014. Visitation: 10:30 am CST and the actual "Mock
Funeral" begins at 11:30 am. Where: War Memorial Plaza, aka: Legislative

I know that God and his dispatched angels helped me overcome the
unforeseen life changes that took me down in the latter part of 2007.
The back-to-back deaths of my daughter, my husband of 25 years and my
beloved mother-in-law really took a toll on me. After 17 years of
blessed recovery, I threw the towel in and purposely relapsed hard. I
really wanted life to end! I remember asking God, “Why do I keep waking
up? Please let me die in my sleep!” Talk about a major “woe is me” pity
party. After allowing God do what he does best, getting back up on the
proverbial horse (in recovery again since March 18, 2011) and taking
life one day at a time, I am seriously grateful to be where I am today.
I’m looking forward to what lies ahead and am so thankful for my
sponsor, support groups and “on the ground” team too. I’m a professional
writer, blogger, photographer and social media strategist. My work is a
place of solace for me and helps me to be an even better example and
anchor for others. Recovery rocks!

What is the basis for the “Keys to Success?”
What is the basis for
the “Keys to Success?”
Alright,
here is a “quick & dirty” synopsis, or short and sweet version.
No
one is perfect and we have the privilege of learning every day. Each day is a
brand new day and chance to “get it right” or simply improve. The response below may apply to others as it
has for this God’s Child, or it may not. Whatever the case, experience, various
situations and LIFE showing up and showing out – without my permission; has
often made room for growth. And to
practice/sharpen these basic skills and abilities. Ready?
Love,
trust and worship God or a higher power greater than yourself.
Effective
communication is key! This alone pays a dominant role in our lives and any
level of success.
Seek
clarity, follow up and do your level best to understand and convey, purposeful communication.
Including
but not limited to: Verbal, non-verbal, personal, professional and necessary
correspondence.
Take
time out to step into someone else's life and be genuine about it. Too often we
fall into the throws of selfishness. Self-preservation is a law of nature, but
we cannot live or thrive in the world alone. (For the most part) Practice
random acts of “unconditional kindness” whenever possible or the opportunity presents
itself.
Another
part of “Getting out of our own selves” and taking part in another life or the
lives of others. The latter may be just the catalyst needed in the discovery
process of learning what or why the other person(s) need assistance or support
with.
Have
a word about yourself, as my dear friend used to say. Meaning, stand on your
word, commitments, or promises. Team
work is highly dependent upon the team members “being there for the others”,
pulling their own weight and accountability.
Take
time out for self and (separate) time out for loved ones. We’re only human and everyone
needs breaks, vacations and reasonable reward, if that reward is nothing but
the good feeling of knowing you gave 100 percent, for the right reasons. “Know
your limitations or they will know you first!”
Whereas
Money is a highly important and impacting source of life, other things have
just as much or even more meaning. Who hasn’t heard the age old adage that “time
is money?” True enough, but time is also
priceless!
Last
for now, take advantage of learning something new and constructive daily if
possible. Foster a genuine interest in the jobs, duties and mission others by
literally, walking in their shoes” if only for a day. Being able to spend time with another or other
people who are different from us, and do things differently, is sure to awaken
or confirm new thoughts and ideas.
NEVER
STOP PRAYING!
For
yourself and family, and everyone else in the world too. E.g.; The world
overall is in constant need of Prayer.
Much
success always in all of your productive, valuable endeavors.
Lovingly,
From the Desk of DAC ~ God’s Writer Girl * www.About.me/Deborahculp
