Reverend Senior Lewis, III
Teach me Your way, O Lord; and lead me in a plain path because of my enemies.
Psalm 27:11
The verse above introduces Retired Naval Chief, Elder, and Maintenance Superintendent of Florida State Prison, Reverend Senior Lewis III. He is a distinguished man of God, known as the greatest brother of them all.
Reverend Senior Lewis III was born to the late proud parents, Former District Elder and Pastor, Elder Senior Lewis Jr., and Gospel Singer and District Missionary, Mother Willie Nell Williams Lewis.
Raised in the church, he felt the call to serve his country, enlisting in Selective Services at the age of 18. He joined the Naval Branch of the Military at 19, serving for 24 years and retiring as a Naval Chief Officer in 2014.
Affectionately known as “Senior,” he preached his first sermon at the age of 8 during our parents’ Pastoral Anniversary. His sermon, titled “Is your stomach full yet?” was inspired by his observation that the congregation seemed unsatisfied after the main speaker’s address. With an urgency that remains with him today, he was encouraged by his big sister to preach the good news of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. His sermon was so powerful that the entire church was bountifully blessed, and God’s Spirit was poured out upon all present.
Reverend Senior Lewis III has a right-hand man, his only son, Israel J.T. Lewis, who follows in his father’s and grandfather’s footsteps by preaching God’s Holy Word. Called to preach at an early age, Israel continues the family legacy with dedication and passion.
May God’s Word through Reverend Senior Lewis III touch our hearts and souls, leading us to a better way of life. He has also assisted Superintendent Smith and Global Mission with Restoration Church of God by Faith in Ft. Meade, FL.

Confession of Favor
In the Name of Jesus, I am the righteousness of God. Therefore, I am entitled to covenant kindness and covenant favor. The favor of God is among the righteous. The favor of God surrounds the righteous. Therefore, it surrounds me everywhere I go and in everything I do. I expect the favor of God to be in full manifestation in my life.
Never again will I be without the favor of God. It rests richly upon me. It profusely abounds in me. I am a part of the generation that is experiencing God's favor immeasurably, limitlessly, and surpassingly. Therefore, favor produces supernatural increase, promotion, restoration, honor, increased assets, greater victories, recognition, prominence, preferential treatment, petitions granted, policies and rules changed, and battles won in which I do not have to fight.
The favor of God is on me and goes before. Therefore, my life will never be the same. This is the time of God's favor in my life. That is the favor of God. In Jesus' name, Amen.
