Tha Messenger Jesse Holmes Jr., born in McKinney Texas, to the parentage of Jesse Holmes Sr. and Karen Holmes. Jesse is the elder of three sons. He began and completed his education in the McKinney ISD. After completing high school he immediately enrolled into the University Technical Institute, in Houston, TX, where he received Certification as an Automotive Technician. Jesse attended the Shiloh COGIC under the leadership of the late Bishop Frank Smith. On January 19, 1989, Jesse accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior, with the baptism of the Holy Ghost, during a revival, conducted by Pastor Larry Jefferson of the Faith Memorial Church, where he is presently an active member. Jesse is a husband, father and a minister of Gods Holy Word. THA MESSENGER immediately brings to mind one that has been purposely chosen, one that is well capable of delivery, one that has a message of importance, and one that demands immediate attention, one that is mentally prepared to face and overcome adverse challenges during the course of delivery. I have been chosen as one of God's Messengers (Jeremiah 1:15, John 15:16, Romans 8:29, 30), regardless of the challenges that I face, Romans 8:31 tells me I can't be defeated with my faith in God. The messages that God has given me I must deliver, to reach those that are lost in this maze we call life. I believe what the word of God says, and that is we have not been given the spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind, that only God can give. I am, on a mission, and that is to evangelize the world around me, to make a difference in the lives of the people that I come in contact with, by allowing Christ to radiate through my life. I've been commissioned to minister to the body of Christ and sinners. Foremost, God has commissioned me to live a Holy life in the midst of this chaotic world, that he may receive the glory. A Holy life can only be lived out, when you commit to doing the will of God for your life. My ultimate mission is to win souls as the Holy Spirit leads me, and to bring the creation back to the creator. Matthew 4:19, Jesus says, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men", this is only done by the preaching of the Gospel, doing the will of the father, says Tha Messenger. Hebrews 4:12 is the foundation to all of the messages that are delivered by THA MESSENGER. Tha Messenger has appeared on many programs, and with many great gospel artists such as; Montrel Darrett, Lil Raskull, Nuwine, Dooney, Jahword, Darryl and Latonya Blair, Drea Randall, D.J. Curly, Omar Jahwar & Nu Concept, Fred Lynch (Formerly of PID), Ashley Dunbar, Gee Gee Rodriguez, (sister of D-Boy), Generation J., The Shake, and at the National Quartette Convention, just to name a few.
