A Date in the Garden: Eye Candy vs. Soul Food

Alica M.T. Neal was born to Evangelist Carol J. Lawson and Thomas Neal on March 19, 1995 in Reidsville, NC. From a young age, Alica loved to serve the Lord. She was a faithful member at Christ Temple of Deliverance Church of the Apostolic Faith under the leadership of the late Bishop John W. Henderson (founder), Bishop Joseph A. Henderson (Overseer), Evangelist Martha J. Lawson (her grandmother) & the late Elder Grace Humphrey (her spiritual mother). She was also baptized there in the name of Jesus Christ. She was in the choir and also played the keyboard for the church for numerous years. It was there she developed a desire to please God. At the age of 14, she was filled with the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues. As she continued to grow, the Lord began to deal with her concerning His plan for her life. He clearly spoke the words of 2 Timothy 4:5 to her that reads, ＂But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.＂ On May 6, 2012, Alica yielded to the call of God on her life and preached her initial sermon at the age of 17. Having a zeal to grow more, she joined Saint Thomas Chapel Pentecostal Holiness Church in Greensboro, NC where she was ordained and received her Minister’s license under the leadership of Bishop Dr. Tyrone D. Hunter. She served as one of the youth praise team leaders, adult praise team member & a member of the Fifth Sunday Chorale. She is a 2013 graduate of the Rockingham Early College High School where she graduated with high honors and a 3.9 GPA. Alica then graduated from the Living Epistle Bible College in Greensboro, NC where she received her Advanced Christian Education degree in May 2015 and more recently received her Certificate in Optical Assistance from Rockingham Community College in December 2015. In February 2017, Prophetess Neal released a book entitled, ＂The CAN Factor: When CAN’T is Not an Option＂ which became available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other book sources. Prophetess Neal is a faithful member at Transformed by Truth Church under the leadership of Apostle Alicia Foust in Jamestown, NC. She also fills in as a musician for local churches time to time as well as serves as a mentor to the youth. She stands by the fact that ＂holiness is still right＂ even in the midst of a wayward generation who has strayed away from the standard of holiness. Her motto is now ＂God’s will is good, his will is perfect & his will is acceptable＂.
