A Message From Loretta
I was called into the ministry in 1986 to carry forth the call of God to the world as stated in Isaiah 61:1-3:
"The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified."
To whom much is given much is required, and there were many attempts by the devil to destroy me physically, mentally and emotionally. But through the miracle working power of God I was able to overcome all those obstacles, including a death sentence from my physician.
The songs that He(God) gave me were the very songs that brought me through all those heartaches and trials. I struggled with fear, intimidation and rejection, however, He has given me the grace to boldly stand as an example of His ability to take 'nothing and make it something'.
All these things are not about me...but are about God and His power to restore and use a broken life.
Though I have no formal music training, God has opened the doors for me to minister in song and testimony in many churches and organizations across the nation. I am called to take this ministry to the people...wherever the people are.
I am an entertainer...for only God can bring forth the anointing and the power, that changes the hearts of men.
Giving God The Glory!
Loretta Withee
Loretta's love for the Lord and her desire to serve Him is the driving force in who she is and all she does. She is sensitive to the opportunities which God puts before her to minister for Him. There is nothing to big or to small for her to undertake if she feels God leading that way.
She may have traveled across country to cut a CD or perform on stage but will take the time to shop for that special little "something" for someone in need, pray for a homeless gentleman on the street corner, or lay hands on a woman having difficulty walking.
She has personally experienced the healing power of God in her own life. She is no stranger to pain and disease. Loretta had congestive heart failure, pulmonary edema that required the use of oxygen 24 hours a day, crippling rheumatoid arthritis confining her to a wheel chair for several years. She was also diagnosed with liver disease and also a possible brain tumor. But God has healed her of them all. She has grown to understand the true meaning of "The just shall live by faith" for it is her faith and God's grace that has carried her through.
Loretta is a very gifted and talented woman of God. She has the voice of an angel.
Loretta has been traveling and singing full time for 7 years and shares her testimony to the glory of God.
