Quotes: “When men did not believe in your design, I had a better plan. I called you to fly with me and drop bombs of intercession in your generation. I am the God who named you." And I want to come today to say there is a generation outside these doors sleeping on the park benches of Harvard and Yale, and all these schools, waiting for praying mama to approach that bench and snatch them off, and say, "This is who you are. This is who you are called to be. I define you - not the world."

Be blessed.
Remember: you have been blessed to be a blessing. (Genesis 12:2)
Pay it forward!

For years I never liked to share my story and the Lord said Dehavilland, when you don't share your story, you actually rob me of my glory. Because in your story lies the glory of God. So, I want to just tell you really quick about what I used to do on the other tracks. I was born in New York City, in the Bronx, the Boogie Down Bronx during the late 70s, where drugs were decimating the inner cities and cocaine was destroying the suburbs. I was born during the late 70s and my mother named me Angela Cornish.

Around the age of three I was sent down the stream of the Foster care system. The reason why i call it a stream is because i believe just like Moses, I was sent down that stream of uncertainty. i didn't know if i was coming or going. But God had a better plan. Say, "God had a better plan." So, I was sent down the stream. My name was changed from Angela Cornish. 

My first foster home was a family by the name of the Rock family. Do you guys know Chris Rock? He's a very famous comedian in Hollywood. I lived with the Rock family. I was Angela Cornish, then I was Angela Rock. Then, at the age of seven, I went into a home, my first adopted home. I remember walking in my first adopted home and my adopted mom walking up to me and saying, "I'm going to
change your name. Now, I'm like, "Wait a minute!"

Again, because I didn't just have my name changed, I had my name changed three times. I was called by another name three times. She came up to me and said, "I'm going to change your name to Dehavilland." I'm like... De who? De what? and De why? Cause I'm from the Boogie Down Bronx... come on. Give me any other name but Dehavilland. I didn't want to be picked at. I don't want that name... but she takes me to court. And I remember at seven years old, sitting in the courtroom with such an identity crisis, wondering and asking the question as a little girl, "Will somebody please tell me who I am? Would somebody please define me?" 

And as we get in the courtroom, I get my name changed. Later on, from 7 to 17... What do you do when you don't know who you are? You go to a generation and you look and you search for identity. Unfortunately, I was looking in all the wrong places. I went to the drug scene, but I knew I couldn't do drugs, because I saw what it did to my mom. So, then I went to the club scene... but then I realized I couldn't dance. So, that wasn't going to work. I was the only black girl in the club that didn't know how to dance... I didn't know how to... didn't know how to do it... so i would just stand off in the corner. So, I was like, "This ain't gonna work... this ain't gonna work."

So, I couldn't do the party scene. At 17 years old I found myself sleeping on a park bench in New York City. I don't know if you guys ever knew that. I found myself at the bottom of the bottom of the bottom of the bottom. What happens when you're at the bottom? You can't go any lower. I remember when i was on this park bench saying, "How in the world did I get here?" Feeling like that little girl that was sent down the stream of the foster care system.

And as I'm on this bench, a praying mother, who was a friend of the family, came and found me on the bench. How many praying mamas do we have in the house today? Come on! Praying mommas are dangerous! She found me on the bench and she said, "What are you doing on this bench?" She said, "You don't belong here." See, she had prophetic eyes. She said, "You are gonna come home with me."  She is full of the Spirit of God. She's prophesying. I'm drunk. Demons are manifesting, she's worshiping God. And this woman began to disciple me before she ever converted me. She began to disciple me before she ever converted me. See we've got to get to discipling people.
