Welcome to the sovereign digital embassy of the House of Stokes—an ecclesiastical family government founded upon divine covenant, Kingdom trust, and sacred stewardship.
At the heart of this royal lineage stand our esteemed Patriarch and Matriarch, Stokes: Connilus Jerome and Stokes-Howard: Felisha. Their divine union, established in love since 1986 and formally sealed in covenant through marriage in December of 1992, has flourished for over 38 extraordinary years of unwavering dedication, love, and spiritual legacy.
From their blessed union emerged four distinguished heirs—Stokes: Kierra Charday, Stokes: Lakendrick Connilus, Stokes: Brashad Quintrell, and Stokes: Briayana Tanshay—each born with divine purpose, Kingdom identity, and a mandate to govern according to Heaven's principles. Continuing this sacred lineage, each heir has birthed an heir of their own: Gilbert: Sarai Rose, Stokes: Logan Lakendrick, Stokes: Amiyah Gracelyn, and Gordon: Caiden Mykel—the next generation entrusted to advance the family’s divine assignment.
In April 2023, the House of Stokes collectively entered into a profound and life-transforming covenant with God, fully dedicating their lives, estates, and lineage to the restoration and governance of His Kingdom on Earth. For two dedicated years, the family journeyed through a wilderness experience—deliberately relinquishing worldly systems, identities, and attachments to wholly embrace and embody the government and constitution of Heaven.
Now, having diligently studied, reclaimed, and secured their divine inheritance, authority, dominion, and true Kingdom citizenship, the House of Stokes stands as ambassadors and rightful heirs of God—transferring their estates from worldly misuse back into sacred trust and divine governance. According to scripture:
“For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”
— Colossians 1:13-14
With estates and identities now fully reclaimed from the dominion of darkness, the family operates exclusively under the righteous jurisdiction of God's dear Son, Jesus Christ, and the Kingdom of Heaven.
Specifically assigned to steward and govern the territory of Illinois, the House of Stokes is committed to aligning every aspect of this region with the culture, justice, and righteousness of Heaven itself. Their divine mission includes reclaiming God's rightful property, restoring His authority within the earth, discipling and equipping other families to follow their example, and manifesting Heaven’s reality tangibly within the earth.
United under the eternal Constitution of the Kingdom of Heaven, in full ecclesiastical trust and sacred covenant, the House of Stokes proclaims with boldness, clarity, and unwavering resolve:
One Family. One Covenant. One Government.
Restoring Heaven’s dominion—starting here, starting now.
