Singer, worship leader and author Janeen Michael has released her
first music video of the song “Overcomer’s Joy (I’’m Free)” which she
wrote and recorded for her CD, Press On. The
radio single was remixed by Ron Benner (Jennifer Holiday, Donnie
McClurkin), Ray Seay, and Kenny Daniels (Prince, R. Kelly). The band
included Jessie Bond (Mary J. Blige, Celine Dion) on lead guitar, John
Elmore on keys, and Payge Cooper (Dietrick Haddon) on drums. The song
was written as a personal victory cry from Michael who survived an
abusive marriage to a pastor.
““When I was in an abusive relationship, I didn’t believe that I was
an overcomer because I was intoxicated by my environment,”” says
Michael. “”Taking one step at a time in deliberately trusting God with
my life, released me from oppression. In doing so, it reoriented my lost
vision of His character; ever present and unceasing in His care and
love. Freedom is realized, within every decision we make, in each of
life’s moments. I believe that freedom is a result of what we do and
being an overcomer is a result of who we are.””
Michael shared her story in the book entitled, Journey to Love,
which began as a personal journal that she kept during her 15 year
marriage. Her story has been featured in various media outlets including
Elev8, EEW Magazine, Atlanta Daily World, Faith Filled Family Magazine, among others. Michael says pastor’s wives are especially vulnerable to abuse because no one expects pastors to be abusers.
““The best advice I can give to any woman in an abusive situation is
that God created you to love you,” says Michael. “He did not create you
to be a manipulative play toy for another. Domestic violence is terribly
disorienting and all impacted are in desperate need of reorientation.
People often ask me why I stayed so long. In truth, I was empowered to
do ‘something’ about my situation, but I kept doing the wrong
‘something’ which resulted in my prolonged stay. Full of a strong will, I
decided to deploy my methods and strategies to cure the toxicity. It
was the wrong ‘’something’’ because it only focused on ridding the
natural symptoms to a problem that has a spiritual root cause. The
solution isn’t a thing, it is a Him; the person of Jesus Christ. He must
be accepted as Lord and Savior, fully and completely. Both abusers and
those who are being abused must turn to God. He is the Solution to this
problem.””
““Overcomer’’s Joy (I’’m Free)”” is currently being played by stations across the nation. Preview the music video at this link:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyqyzvfuBRw. Visit www.JaneenMichael.com for more information.
