Kwame Kilpatrick spoke to the congregation at New Life Family Church in Detroit, MI., but cameras were not allowed inside of the sanctuary.Instead, he was heard on audio saying spending time in prison made him a new man. Kilpatrick passed the cameras with confidence and had no words with reporters. His parents were in the church to hear him speak, except his wife and children.
Furthermore, Kwame Kilpatrick was prepared to sell his autographed books after service at New Life Family Church, but church officials would not answer if he was paid to speak. However, we does not think it matters, whether he was paid or not. All we know is the ex-mayor of Detroit testified about how God made him a new man.

It has been so long Kwame Kilpatrick has spoke to Detroit residents since he relocated to Dallas, Texas, but for black history month Kwame Kilpatrick is sending a clear message to those whom are eager to hear what he has to say. Those whom attend the New Life Family Church will hear a clear message for repentance, restoration and respect. Kwame Kilpatrick has a message not only told in his book, 'Surrendered', but in person, he will testify about what it has meant for him to truly repent, restore himself, then earn his respect back, after doing so.
This is what is needed among those whom say they love God, we should be prepared to welcome people back after they have made peace with God. Kwame Kilpatrick will stand before the congregation today and admit although he has done wrong, his life has been restored, all because he has repented before God. Therefore, Kilpatrick sends a message to congregants he deserves respect from the people of Detroit.
We wholeheartedly agree with Kwame Kilpatrick who has admitted he has done wrong, but also truly repented for his past mistakes. After we have completely repented before the almighty throne of God, we should speak out about how He has restored us. You see, that is what the enemy does not want, the Devil wants us to hold on to our past, just because others may not forgive us and hold us accountable for our mistakes. However, God gave us a life and after we repent, we no longer have to remember our past, no matter what it was or how awful it was. God is One of restoration, after we fully repent and submit our lives to him, then we are owed respect, whether those think we deserve it our not. People did not create us, God did and He certainly has the power to restore us, after we surrender our lives to Him.
We are praying for Kwame, his wife, Carlita Kilpatrick and entire family. May God bless and keep them.
