Take one good look at this woman in this pic because, after today, she will never be the same! God is about to use me in ways like never before, and I feel it! I receive it! Whew! Baptized in a pandemic! I feel strength and power like never before!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now, three years later, Storm, who is a featured vocalist on Maverick City Music&#8217;s &#8220;The Maverick Way Complete&#8221; album, which is nominated for best gospel album for the 2024 Grammys, is making headlines for doing what she says the Lord recently told her to do, sing her new song called &#8220;We Can&#8217;t Forget Him&#8221; for passengers on a Delta Air Lines flight before takeoff. However, a video posted by Storm\u00a0on Instagram shows a flight attendant challenging her attempt to sing to passengers, who she said told her it was okay to do after asking their permission.<\/p>\n<p>She told the passengers before sharing her song, &#8220;So I used to sing on planes a long time ago. I just found out I&#8217;m up for two Grammys. My very first time, you guys. My name is Bobbi Storm, and I&#8217;m up for two Grammys. I sing for the Lord, and my song is out on all platforms. It&#8217;s called, &#8216;We Can&#8217;t Forget Him.&#8217; \u00a0She continued before she was firmly interrupted by the male flight attendant, &#8220;I wanted to do it when I first got on the plane. But I was like, you know, I haven&#8217;t done this in a while. I&#8217;ve gotten to the next status.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/U-ywBVBlcKQ?si=ty6jWlPJnjgGxYeA\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The flight attendant asked, &#8220;Are you able to be quiet?&#8221; She tried to plead before she was interrupted, &#8220;But they&#8217;re enjoying it. So, while we&#8217;re sitting here, can I please?&#8221; The flight attendant asked again, &#8220;I&#8217;m not enjoying it. So I&#8217;m asking you, can you be quiet?&#8221; the flight attendant asked again. &#8220;Am I gonna go to jail if I don&#8217;t?&#8221; Storm shot back. &#8220;Can you please answer my question? Are you willing and able to be quiet right now?&#8221; the flight attendant insisted.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s when Storm invoked her faith. &#8220;I&#8217;m doing what the Lord is telling me to do,&#8221; she replied. The flight attendant was not impressed. Once the flight attendant left, Storm still ended up singing her song for the passengers and received applause at the end of it. She told them where they could follow her on social media and buy her music. Video of the kerfuffle between Storm and the Delta flight attendant has now gone viral and triggered a wide range of opposing views.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the criticism she has been receiving from some onlookers online, Storm insists that all she did on the flight was obey God. &#8220;One thing you will never be able to do is question my obedience and the people saying God won&#8217;t call you to cause disruption; in fact, He will. Even in his word, he has told his people to disrupt and shake things up for his glory,&#8221; she wrote in an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Czg7sy7RLjn\/?hl=en\">Instagram
