Clifton Ray Jr.

Clifton Ray Jr. was born and raised in North Philadelphia, PA. On August 25, 2013, Clifton was consecrated as a prophet by his spiritual mother Alice Hemmeian. By meeting this influential woman of God, the gift of God came alive even more. This is where it all started when he began to write just a few poems, and from there it went deeper than he could have ever imagined. He spent over three years compiling his poetry work. Through his strength and belief in God, he was able to share his life experiences through the gift of poetry, and share prophetic revelations by God.

I dedicate this book to God and a special person who is my spiritual mother, Alice Hemmeian, for playing a major role in my life up to this very moment. Without God, none of this would have been possible. The word of God says, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth (Mar. 9:23 KJV).

I hope that these poems will truly touch you in a mighty way. This could not have been done if not for my Heavenly Father that is up above. From the experiences of my life and the gift of God, these poems came into fruition. Whatever gift you do have, never give up on it because it is only a matter of time before God will reveal it to you. I could not have done this without those who have encouraged me through my walk with Christ. I want to thank my spiritual mother, Alice Hemmeian. It is because of her support and true belief in me that this book was able to come to life. Also, I want to give recognition to my godmother, Emma Kelly, who had a great impact on pushing me forward
