Prophet Herbert Elijah Goodwin Jr., also known as Eliyahu, talks with Emunah hosts Tamara and Charisse about his calling to spread the gospel both in the USA and abroad. He is a talented musician, songwriter, entertainer, producer, director, actor and Minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Often his sermons, speeches, lectures and teachings include the clarion call of the shofar, which he blows with precision.
Born and raised in the South, Prophet Elijah grew up in a little town called Yemassee in South Carolina where he was raised by his father Herbert Goodwin Sr., who pastored Griffin Hill Holiness Church and his mother Jamesina Goodwin who worked hard to raise her children with morals, standards, family values and respect for others. He credits his mother with raising him to "trust God."
He served more than six years in the U.S. Marine Corps, and was given the vision in 2003 to begin Razor Sharp Records as an independent label and recording studio in New Bern, North Carolina. He earned a Bachelor's Degree in Entertainment Business from Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida. The Studio today operates in Stone Mountain, Georgia.
After being called to the ministry, God directed him to his first trip abroad in 2017. He had asked the Almighty to lead him to a relationship with God that's similar to what we read about in the Bible. With little money but a lot of faith, he describes in detail his trek through pyramids in Egypt and other adventures.
God was teaching him what it means to "Live" a righteous life.
"For me, it's not just hearing the Word and knowing scripture, it's actually applying that scripture to your actual life and behavior, [developing] characteristics that define good character," the Prophet explained. "Living for God requires discipline."
Prophet Elijah's message coalesce with the goals of Emunah - which is to teach listeners how to live for Christ.
