"Why did GOD let you live and allow my son to die TC?"

"Why did GOD let you live and allow my son to die TC?" 

The woman asked me with a bitter cold harshness.

This woman had requested to speak to me about possibly publishing her book and she had shared with me that she lost her husband while he was still a young man and then her son to a heart attack at 32 years of age.

She knew my story of having a sudden cardiac arrest in 2012 and overcoming powerball type odds to survive.

Less than 1 % ever survive a sudden cardiac arrest outside of a hospital, and yet I survived.

I was clinically dead for 1.5 to 2 minutes before I was revived.

I did not tell that woman about my wife who that night as I was fighting for my life inside that ambulance.

They had not told her yet that I had died and were frantically working on saving my life but she KNEW something was terribly wrong and all she could utter were the words, JESUS, JESUS,JESUS.

I did not tell that woman about my baby sister who was on a business trip in Detroit Michigan and in bed when GOD woke up up and told her to pray and she did, not knowing her big brother was fighting for his life at that precise moment in time.

Some of you are only reading these words because somebody prayed for you, not because of your "street smarts" but because someone got up in the middle of the night and PRAYED for you.

I did not tell that woman of being brought back to life in the ambulance as the ambulance sirens were blasting and whoever was driving was doing so with a PROFOUND sense of urgency and the paramedics telling that I had died and to "hold on"  that in the midst of THOSE TERRIFYING moments, that I had a PEACE that passed all understanding, that in that precise moment, Isaiah 43:2 became alive to me.

"When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee."

Here is what I know.

That night, I died with God given dreams still inside of me.

But I was given a second chance and I have done my very best to not squander it.

Started a publishing and media company that has generated over 100 plus best selling authors, written 3 best selling books, have franchise TV segments on several networks and now have my own Prime Time TV show that is seen in 93 million homes and 200 Nations. 

The next time I die, I have zero intentions of taking any God given dreams with me.

No suitcases for TC Bradley for that final trip.

I am doing what God called TC Bradley to do and I am doing so FEARLESSLY and BOLDLY with no regard to peoples opinions.

I KNOW my mandate and I KNOW my assignment and I KNOW my gifting.

There is not one person walking this earth that could ever talk me off of my giftings.

I do realize that the majority of folks that will end up reading this fall into 2 main categories.

1. God spared your life as well and you too almost died with your giftings and God given dreams inside of you that you have not activated yet for any number of "reasons" also called excuses. 

2. The other group had those God given dreams inside of them but over the course of time, you have allowed them to die inside of you. 

I feel on this Resurrection Sunday that some God given dreams are going to be resurrected.

It's not late for you.

You are not too old.

Your time has not passed.

God has not forgotten about you.

It is time for you to activate those God given dreams and come up out of the tomb that you have been hiding in licking your wounds.

I can think of no worse fate that man can experience then to die KNOWING that you did NOTHING with the gifting and dream that God had given you.

GOD has 1 level and it's the NEXT level.

Empires are not built by settling for less, or playing it safe.

He never called his children to stay on the safety of the shoreline but to the deep waters.

Your God given destiny can only be found in the DEEPEST of waters.

God will accept no excuses from you on that day, nor will he ever give you an apology for giving you that God given dream that you did nothing with. 

He is RISEN and so shall your God given dream this day.

I DECREE it and DECLARE it on this day over your life.

God Says WHEN.

God Says NOW!
