Damon,
From the first time that I brought my youth group down to Hamilton and heard the words from the Father that was for this generation, I immediately knew that I wanted an impartation of the same annointing that is on your life. Not because of popularity or fame or to make a name for myself but because I wanted to be a voice that would awaken a this generation here in Memphis TN. We were in the Oct 2007 Meeting with you, Dutch Sheets, Karen Wheaton, Eddie James and Chosen. Satan attacked our church at the same time and the pastor was planning to leave the church pennyless to a couple that he thought were as green as a blade of grass. In feb 2008 he did and took all the money in the main account and the rest of the money that was above and beyond the amount of the cost to go to the ramp. We raised that money (all the youth) and then it was gone. The couple that assumed control of the church is black while he is white. upon succession, the white members all left and it hurt to the core. Authenticity was gone, the throne was gone if was there in the first place and I was left with a handfull of youth. I admit that I hadn’t listened much to your sermons because I couldn’t find them on your site or the internet. Nevertheless, the Father quickened in my spirit to seek the Glory. A few months later, I found a catalog of your sermons from the church alive and there was confirmation. My desires began to shift from merely declaring that since I was the seed of Abraham I was entitled to this or that like is often emphasized in my church to becomming a “seeker”. That is my desire more than stuff, more than friends more than anything. That has changed my life and I feel in my spirit that revival needs to break out rather is about to break out here on Memphis. I hope that you read this and I know that unless God permits, coorespondence is unlikely due to your schedule but you reignited this 24 year old youth ablaze and I’m helping this generation to get radical for His glory.
May God bless and keep you and your family,
Joshua Forbes
Damon,
Ok a high five and a 10-4! I am from Celebration Church in Fresno. I want to brag on God as we all love to do! My marriage has been put through the blender of life i am 25, an have two children. I left my husband and my children last December. I soon became a victim to the devil’s plan. I began another relationship still married full of lust and deception. I was living selfishly blaming my husband for everything. Never wanting to attend Church with me being lazy etc.
After I left my husband he became a man on fire for God. He tried everything to bring me home, I went back home then left again about five times. I was soon empty and full of anger still attending Celebration asking God for help but not meaning it. I found myself on my knees one night begging for help. Blessed with the strength I went back home with my whole heart on God. My husband was happy but scared. Its been a fight for both of us every day talking about separation but knowing we love each other and wondering how to explain to our children whats going on. This past Friday night I got into my car an felt God’s peace on my marriage!!!!! ahhhhh finally Break Through I thought. I wanted to go home and kiss my husband. Saturday night we were given a word BREAK THROUGH!!!! Sunday night my husband and I worshiped together with no holding back!! Praise God I have my family back today I love my husband more than ever. Thank you so much for being apart of Celebration Church and making life’s that are running apart dance together! You Rock! Erica Maldonado
The ministry of Damon Thompson, Karen Wheaton and Chosen really touched the depths of my being this weekend. There was a tangible, real presence of the Holy Spirit and his fire! I have never really worshiped the Lord in the way we worshiped this weekend. I have never been to prison, but the religious chains were keeping me bound for years and I was headed straight for Hell. God has really used ministries like these to touch the depths of my being and tranform my “stinkin’ thinkin’. I was looking around me thinking this place needs arena seating! Damon was stepping on toes, but PRAISE THE LORD! The church need to hear the message! We come out of church with the same spirts we come into church with! Where’s the deliverance? I know I was delivered this weekend from a lot… religion, fear, idolatry, messed up thinkin’ and God only knows what else! What a powerful message about the walls of Jericho and looking at March as an order vs a month! I was just talking to my sister the night before the conference started, she was able to go with me, about Joshua and the walls of Jericho! God spoke to me several times during the conference and he said, It’s not who you are….it’s who I am in you. It’s not what you can do (mostly what I’ve tried to do in the FLESH, which has crumbled and fallen around me) but What I (the Holy Spirit, El shaddaih, the Holy one of Israel can do through you. He told me to stop seeking mans opinions, philosophies, tradition and start seeking his PRESENCE! It’s in his presence that we find our strength, he is our shelter in the storm… there is no other! My goodness, I really felt the annointing and when Damon talked about being in the grave for three days-I was in AWE! Oh if the church could get this!! We have to die to our foolish, selfish desires before we can truly be resurrected and transformed in Christ! I have a burning desire to preach the gospel to the sick, lost and forsaken. If there is anyone reading this that goes to church for an experience or entertainment, you really need to examine your motives… we can be in his presence in your living rooms, please make time to be with him, your maker, he is a jealous God! He wants you, not part of you (which is all I would give him), he wants it all. The brokeness, the transgressions, the fears, the insecurities, the failures, he can take all of that and use it for his glory if you let him.
I am from Clinton and last year we had a tornado rip the city apart, my mother in law lost her home in the tornado. The Lord was really pulling on my heart strings there and he really called me out. I received a message from the Holy Spirit and I wanted to shout it from the rooftops! I would like to share it with you.
After a tornado destroyed the Clinton community on February 5, 2008, the Holy Spirit led me to write this on February 7, 2008.
Wake up, my people! I have cried out to you with a voice of thunder. The time for salvation is at hand. I will make you a libation. Out of your mouths shall flow rivers of living waters. Sing a new song. Deliverance is here. Salvation is here. Chains are being broken. Strongholds must leave. There is no room for the clutter. Confusion will turn to understanding and sadness will be joy. Do not despair! I am sending you forth to preach the gospel. I am your source. Do not look to any other for strength. What I have to give you is more than you have ever received. Become my vessel. I will use you to reveal my glory. I am your God and you are my people.
Mary, Mother of God pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our deaths. Amen.
Listen to my Son, he speaks through the Holy Spirit. Turn from Evil. Let not your face shine light upon its solitude.

God Bless Damon, Karen, Chosen, Randy and everyone at The Church Alive! Maybe next time there will be arena seats above us!
In Christ,
Maria
I just want to thank Damon Thompson for allowing GOD to use him in the mighty work that he is doing. My life has turned upside down for about a month now. I grew up in church and have been on Pastoral staff at a small church for about three years, I have been a Youth Pastor, and currently a College and Career Pastor. I won’t lie, the first message I heard from Damon I was a little offended. But the lord opened my eyes to see the truth, and exposed all of the false teaching I grew up with and have preached myself. I feel alive again, like I have a new assignment. I wish I could move to Hamilton to get behind the RAMP and the wonderful move of GOD that is happening there. But I feel as if my assignment is here. I just wanted to say how much GOD has changed my life, and will change the lives of all the people around me because somebody laid their life down and took a stand.
Thank you.
