Actor Kel Mitchell: ‘I Decree That The Plans And Purpose Of God Shall Prevail’
By Movieguide® Contributor
Actor Kel Mitchell took to Instagram to encourage his followers with a message about “promoting” his Christian faith.
“I decree that the works of the devil are destroyed and the plans and purpose of God shall prevail,” he wrote. “I declare that I am advancing the cause of Christ in every region. I am promoting the King and proclaim that His kingdom is here. In the name of Jesus, amen.”
Mitchell captioned the message, “Mood! ????? #teamJesus #nottodaysatan #notanydaysatan #AllGod.”
Mitchell, who rose to fame as a child star on Nickelodeon’s KENAN & KEL, is very open about his faith. Movieguide® previously reported:
Actor, producer and pastor Kel Mitchell spoke about how his faith in God is central to his work in Hollywood and his ministry.
“Being an ambassador for Christ is very important to me. That is first, and I always talk about putting Him in everything in my life,” Mitchell said over a Zoom at the Liberty University Convocation.
During the Q & A with the school’s former Vice President for Spiritual Development David Nasser, Mitchell noted that his life as a child actor looked different from his classmates.
“In school I didn’t really have time to goof off because I was like, ‘Okay I’ve got this job I have to go to after school.’” Mitchell said.
Mitchell’s passion for children and their mental health grew from his experience in the industry. Now, Mitchell is a youth pastor at Spirit Food Christian Center and works to produce family-friendly and uplifting content on screen.
Liberty University reported:
While Mitchell has made an incredible career out of being a world-renowned celebrity, staying true to being a man of God is what he values most. He says that after seeing so many people in the entertainment industry battle with mental health he has grown in his desire and passion to help young people through youth ministry.
Although Mitchell confessed that the balance between his family and his career is difficult, the GOOD BURGER star said that it is made possible by his foundation of faith in God.
“Even in troubled times and in good times, the Lord (is) there,” Mitchell told the students.
In a previous interview with Movieguide®, Mitchell said: “Because it’s really about people seeing the God in me and not see just the character or just the person that I’m playing. It’s really seeing how I got through certain things in my life and obstacles and things of that nature. I have been in this business a long time and I feel like they should see the God in me and I would be doing people a disservice if I didn’t show them the way to the light.”
