Pastor Hart Ramsey and the NCC Family Choir celebrate their new single, It Is So taking the reigns of radio and landing at #92 on this week‘s chart. The song comes from the Alabama based church’s sophomore project True Story, which is available online now for pre- order. It Is So is written by Ramsey with assistance from Greg Johnson and Daniel Johnson.
“It Is So is an anthem for believers whose experience has not yet caught up with that they are believing for,” says Ramsey. “The song encourages us to say only what GOD has said about us. Our believing should never be altered by our experiences, but our experiences should be affected by what we believe. God orchestrated the operation of the entire universe by the power of the spoken word. He gave us the same power. I think the song and the album will deliver life changing words in this prophetic time.”
Ramsey heads to Miami, Florida the week of August 10th to join Pastor Kim Burrell for the Ephesians 4 Conference and hosts a gathering on prayer at the Northview Christian Church later during the month of August.
Pastor Kim Burrell takes her Ephesians 4 conference to the sunny city of Miami, Florida August 9-12. The conference will offer 3 days of intensive workshop classes, powerful preaching, anointed singing and a time of fellowship. Burrell will also take out time to present new music for her live recording that will close out the conference on August 12th.
Joining Burrell this year are Grammy award winner and new host of the new BET Gospel show Joyful Noise Tye Tribbett and noted songwriter, musician, author, Bible teacher and Pastor Hart Ramsey. Donald Lawrence, Chrisette Michelle and Robert Glasper will make up the celebrity guest panel that will offer critique and wisdom to up and coming artists.
