Heasley, has a degree in Theology.&nbsp; She traveled the world as an evangelistic singer for many years. Jacquelyn has sung before the largest crowds in the recorded history of the world in Lagos, Nigeria. In December of 2025 she sang before a crowd estimated to be 22 million at The Redemption Camp at the invitation of General Overseer, Dr. E.A. Adeboye. Jacquelyn was ordained by Pastor Adeboye in 1993, the very first international woman to be ordained within the ministry.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/splitsecondsermons.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/image.jpg?w=225\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-655\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.7500048505073631;width:426px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She is a wife, mother and grandmother of six. &nbsp;Though she resides in Central Arkansas, she will always refer to herself as a Texan, having been born in Pampa, Texas and living in the Texas Panhandle and Dallas area for 36 years of her life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Years ago, Jacquelyn heard these words bubbling out of her spirit, \u201cGod\u2019s grace is so amazing the unbeliever can\u2019t believe it.\u201d This was her first one-liner, as she started writing numerous such lines, and she called them Pastor\u2019s Punch Lines.&nbsp;At that time, emails containing wonderful stories were being forwarded to myriads of folks around the world. Jacque saw how people loved these stories that warmed hearts and uplifted or even educated the readers. But she also noted how much time it took to read them all and found it impossible! She decided then to send out her Pastor\u2019s Punch Lines to her address book via email. They became very popular. A few years later, a friend of hers was writing an article about the one-liners in a magazine and suggested she change the name to Split-Second Sermons. Since that time, her one-liners have been known as Split-Second Sermons and have gone around the world. Split-Second Sermons have been quoted in many books and are used on church websites and newsletters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-3a88641f wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Split-Second Sermons Copyright @ 2019 cannot be sold without the written consent of author, Jacquelyn K.
