7 years after posting this and its amazingly relevant today!

I found his voice calming as a child , and I still find it calming at age 60.

Man o man he has a way of touching my very soul with his words

We love you Dr. KING

The voice of the voiceless then, now, and forever. Long live MLK.

I started drinking when I was 16. I would drink at parties, but I also started drinking alone because I was unhappy, and I was in a lot of emotional pain all the time. My mom was very aggressive when I was younger, and my brother hated her and so did I. He started hanging out with shady people, he started failing all his classes, he was never home, and my parents fought all the time. I also ran away several times. I was always trying to figure out a reason as to why I was here or what the purpose of life was. So, I started looking at different philosophies, religions, and beliefs. When I was 18 after I was hungover, I got on my knees and I prayed for the first time. I asked if God was real that he would show me he was real because I couldn’t take it anymore. I was crying when I prayed for this. At that moment I felt a presence come over me like a wind. It was barely noticeable, but it was unlike anything in my life I had experienced up until that point. I was surprised when I felt it and I remember saying “what was that?” after that experience I pretty much forgot what happened and kept partying, until my senior year when I got arrested. After my arrest, my parents lost all their trust in me and I was expelled from high school. I was told never to come back. At that time, I felt afraid and hopeless. That’s when I started looking for God, and I prayed that he would reveal himself in my life and that he would give me signs. My prayers began getting answered so consistently that I couldn’t deny that God was doing something. It was mysterious and compelling. I ended up in Church and started reading the bible hours a day. I stopped hanging out with all my other friends because they were continually getting arrested. I was able to forgive my family and myself and to ask to be forgiven. I noticed how at Church people were judgmental and how they formed cliques but were afraid to be around anyone else different from them. It increased my faith because I realized Jesus was not like that and ever since I was young, I saw people as people regardless of who they were. After a while, it’s like I could see God's presence was in my life and then it felt like he wasn’t, and then he was, and then he wasn’t. One day I woke up and felt more depressed than I ever have in my entire life. I felt like I was dying on the inside. That night I prayed, and I said, God, I don’t see my life five years from now I'm going to die Jesus save me Lord, please save me. I was weeping when I said it and when I asked him to save me, I felt a presence inside of me like a heartbeat, and I felt it once like a pulse, and I said Lord please save me and I felt it again even stronger. It was like radiance. When I woke up the next morning, I had transformed everything felt brand new like I was a kid again. All my fears and all my racing thoughts everything was gone. I looked at my hands, and I said this can’t be real it’s impossible. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I saw a different person. I started praying, and the holy spirit became entirely real to me it was washing over me and inside of me. It was total love and peace, and I heard a voice but not an audible one, it was an inner voice. It said I am with you; I love you, I will never leave you, it’s done it’s finished. That was May 3rd, 2009, and ever since then I’ve followed God, I have seen many things change and many things I know wouldn’t have changed without faith and belief. I know what it’s like to be lost to feel you have no hope. Don’t ever think you’re stuck, or life can’t change because it can. My mom is a Christian now, Its night and day. Some of the things that went away during that period were severe anxiety and my addiction to alcohol. I’ve seen and experienced so many things that are miraculous and seen how God has worked in my life. When we ask God to forgive us for what we’ve done and turn away from our sins and wrongdoings and we believe in Christ's sacrifice everything changes. His word says if we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that he died and rose again we will have eternal life but not just life after death but abundant life in the present. Our sins are erased not only past, present, and future but our burdens and fears are lifted also. Our thoughts, our minds, our hearts, our souls are transformed and united with God and we know his spirit lives in us. If you seek, pray, and knock you will know JESUS IS KING!!! HE LIVES!

God knows he was a masterful speaker, with his brilliant use of adjectives he sprinkled his speeches, like salt on food. God bless his memory!

Absolutely. You can kill the messenger... but you can’t kill the message. Dr Martin Luther King Jr’s message stand forever.

Who’s watching this in 2020 with everything that’s going on right now??

I love Martin Luther king, he makes public speaking seem so easy, his voice oozes authority and precision, damn he was a gifted orator.

YES!! So a beautiful soul

Great counsels that today's world needs even more.

I love Martin Luther speech.

OMG...I had no idea the power of Operating Bread Basket in Chicago... This was a true milestone for our Black people... I told my mom that Dr. King had Unity with the Universe on a Masterful Level. His work was not in vain! Praise Jesus!

God should grant this world a second Martin Luther King 🙏🙏

I love to hear him say." Not only that" its meaningful to me.

This is what I called true success. Long lived Dr. king 🙏

💕Martin Luther King Jr.💕Is a Powerful BLACK Man in Death Still 🙏🏽 He will Never be Forgotten. You killed the Man but You will NEVER kill His Dream Ever 🙏🏽 Rest in Peace Martin Luther King 💕 The World Loves You and We Thank You for Everything 💕

Not only the most enlightened consciousness, but also the most remarkable voice of our time. How we all need him today!

He was the most powerful American and world leader outside the oval office and white house. He was always sending ripples and chills a long the corridors of power

He was a man from God, and thanks him for his duties.

In my opinion, he was the greatest figure United States has ever produced. He was, still is, a light on the darkness of the sad history of this country. Hope to see, some day, hopefully soon, another person of his stature. Long live Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Martin Luther King Jr. Where do we go from here was a classic and still a classic to this day because to me he was the voice of all voices, but at the same time Martin Luther King Jr gave everyone to think about and there is only one Martin Luther King Jr and his famous speeches will live on forever.

The "isms" of racism, classism and militarism cannot be separated. They function together to create a net of enslavement. This man was wise enough to unravel the veil. The powerful men who assassinated him did so because they were afraid of his uniting message.

Such a loving person. Much needed today

Martin Luther King, You Will Never Be Forgotten!!!

There will never be one like you Dr.Martin Luther King you deserve to be born again your roaring messages was sending shivers down to spine of the oppressors

He was too pure for us .... His SOUL is at HOME with the Saints & Angels!!!

we need more people like Mr. Martin Luther King Jr! strong ,fair and unyielding

#JusticeForGeorgeFloyd Dr.Martin Luther King spoke nothing but the truth

His words are timeless and ever relevant

We as a people must teach our people to live peacefully among ourselves without hate, hypocrisy and malice. Repent, seek the kingdom of I Am That I Am.

I am going to listen this again and again because it is too loaded. One of my best ever sermons.

How is he still telling us today ? Amazing how timely and relevant he is with the subject . Not skipping a beat "

Rest In Power Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐🤓🧠 You were a Resilient Leader, Teacher, and Pastor who truly appreciate and Love ❤️ his People. #Brilliant, #Resilient #Love #Justice #GodIsLove

A true leader give his own self for others...Dr King a God's voice that brings light in the darkness and resonates forever..

A source of inspiration, an icon of breathing life to lifeless humans, a symbol of resistance to oppression. A true preacher, having a vast experience of traits of democracy, capitalism and materialiam/communism and applying that to pragmatic life of the oppressed have largely enlightended us. I wish he must have lived more than 100yrs, not 39/40 yrs. "I had a dream" or "been to Mountaintop" Long Live Martin Luther King jr.

Listen again and again., and it's always going to be right in the morning, and right at night. Thank God for the prophetic voice of the *on time* Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Happy to have just heard this for the first time today in 2021- Happy MLK Day ✊🏾

Watching this after George Floyd murder, 2020. Not enough has changed.

The very fact that there are streets and parks named after him in Belgrade, Serbia and Vienna, Austria shows how respected and regarded he was around the world.

"As long as the Mind is enslaved the Body shall never be Free" 😢

I really like the way he speaks

R.I.P to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. ❤️🙏🏽 He really fought for African- American rights and I will always love him for that❤️

The words of Dr.king are relevant more today as they ever was🏴 ✊🏿

'Non violence', 'non violence' : Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can drive out darkness. Thank you.

He was a prophet.that how they did to the Apostles. Now is no more

SEE THE POWER THAT WE CARRY? SIMPLY MOVING AS A UNIT

Yes God Yes!!! Your word is true: We Shall Overcome!!! I Shall Overcome!!! The devil is defeated!!! No weapon formed against me shall prosper!!! Glory!!! Hallelujah!!! Amen!!! And so it is!!! It is so!!!

Dr King was ahead of his time developing an Black economic base for the Black community.

Anytime I feel discouraged, I feel down, I feel like loosing hope, there is one thing I just do, Listen to Dr. King and I get back on my feet again 💪💪💪

He who hates doesn't know God powerful speech by Martin Luther King Jr

The dead are in our midst - this sentence is in itself an affirmation of the spiritual world; and only the spiritual world can awaken within us the consciousness that the dead are, in very truth, with us. - Rudolf Steiner

Today we remember a legacy of not only for this generation but the many more to come. I going to describe you Martin Luther King Jr in words, Love, Peace, Wisdom, Justice, Faith, Perseverance, Righteousness, Truth, Fearless, Legacy, a Man of character a gentleman towards his family and wife but yet a warrior against injustice fighting with words of peace and encouragement for all men and women to be treated equally without regards to color, sex, or religion.

Profound. "Hate is too much a burden to bear...."

Here's one great man I pray I will meet one day in a perfect place where there will only be love!

2019....WE MUST COME UP OUT OF THE SUBMISSIVENESS TO OUR ENEMIES!!!!! AND LOVE OURSELVES MORE!!!!1

Simply can apply to any time frame including now. So powerful and electrifying.

Challenges THEN are still NOW 2020

"We shall overcome." Still relevant today! Thank You Dr. King for your faith, courage, tenacity and perseverance not just for People of Color, our brothers and sisters, But, for all! #Restinparadise🙏❤

True man of the lord 🙏

What a voice , what a message , he should have been America’s President, the world now would be a better place .

Wow. I've listened to and read this speech so many times in my life, and I think this is when it's had its biggest impact on me

One of the famous phrases “I haves dream “ I have dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident:that all men are created equal .🙏👑👣👣Martin Luther king jr.( January 15,1929-April 4,1968)..🙏👑👣💓

One of his greatest speeches in my opinion. Thank you for the selflessness Sir Dr Martin Luther King Jr.

We miss you Martin

Greatest speech. Touched on everything - facts, debates, and inspirations.

An awesome man who worked long and hard and effectively to help to raise his fellow man up and forward. A Great Man Indeed!

A Great Man Indeed...."It is when you give of yourself that you truly give."Kahlil Gibran.... Dr Martin Luther King, Jr gave himself to serving. May God Bless Us with people that can give themselves to serving others.

MLK words were undiluted truth ,powered by the force of lightening, none that passed the face of America is like him...

My hero then, before I was born and will always be. Hope one day, I will get to meet your descendants.

A man who was born a head of his time and a true prophet of God. up to now i still wonder how certain classes of people chose to make fellow men useless?

Wow....this speech has me fired up yo...we need this voice again BUT for ALL people......to realy MAKE AMERICA TRULLY GREAT FINALLY...(not any President or politicians..)..we need a concerned American citizen

The Real Man of all time, The real king, the real Hero of the black people Your voice up to date is still an encouragement for us Dr. King

a man cannot ride your back unless it is bent....well said, stand up straight and make your request (demands) known, using your limited assets powered by unity when the only time our backs are bent is to reach down and help a brother up. Thanks Dr. King, and by the way your organization and your influence is still relevant today even as another great leader of SCLC #DwightMontgomery of Memphis is being mourned. #MemphisTN #SCLC #economicempowerment

He one of the might voice of freedom

That so what everth a man sowth, so shall he reap.

You can never kill the message, especially if it the truth. Thank you Martin Luther King. I pray your soul rest in peace.

What a truely independent message.

Love to hear him.

Dr Martin Luther King Jr and I want to say thank you for fight our freedom and

I was born and raised in Atlanta. My parents owned a home around the corner from Dr. King. Dr. King was going to Washington to demand Reparations for America's slaves. I am picking up that baton and will carry it to the finish line. Reparations Now

Thanks for letting me know Amen 💕🤔💘💘😽

Such a powerhouse 😮😢

In 1967, Dr. King tells us that African Americans had black-owned banks and black-owned newspapers. In 2019, they no longer have these. What black owned banks are there? Carver Savings Bank? Is the Amsterdam Post newspaper even published anymore?

Black People need to support Black owned businesses and invest in real estate. Educate our people Deuteronomy28.org We must love our people, respect our people and help our people when they are in need. We must encourage our people to have pride in themselves and do not see our selves as inferior to anyone. Deuteronomy 28:15-68, We must teach our people to marry within our race for it's an abomination for the Hidden Ones to mix with the oppressors Jubilee 30 chapter. We must teach our people that I Am That I Am made woman for man and it is an abomination for man to marry a man and a woman to marry a woman. Leviticus 18:21 and the only sex that people should have only is to be between a husband and wife. We must be born again.

Dear King I'm trying to run with your message in the 2020 New year resolution Freedom and justice for all.Amen.Ive been trying with a broken back/ wing you sent us a dove, the dove rose for us and I feel resurrected but am lost in my ways because evil ways hold me down.please King give me guidance in all of our ways in Jesus name we pray.

This is my favorite the best speech he has ever spoken in my opinion.

I liked his approach of non violence but I also liked Malcolm x and the Nation of Islam as well sometimes you have to defend yourself and you can’t always be non violent.

For all looking for the quote used in "Requiem for the American Dream" by Noam Chomsky, it starts at 54:45

There's no RIP for anyone. The struggle continues. Peace on earth and Dr Kings dream must manifest before any resting of the spirit of man is done.

rest in the good news

50 years later I am still dissatisfied! ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿

I JUST HEARD A PREACHER PREACH THIS TITLE IN HIS OWN SERMON ON THIS PASS SUNDAY AT DRIVE UP CHURCH SERVICE! 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌✊✊✊✊✊✊✊🎤♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥#BLACKLIVESMATTER#
