Kanye West’s Sunday Service events keep hitting the news. This time, a pastor at Sunday's Baton Rouge event reported that 1000 people gave their lives to Jesus during the altar call at the concert.

Tonight, @candacebrewington & I got to experience Kanye West’s Sunday Service at @bethany_church in Baton Rouge. If you’ve ever doubted the legitimacy or spiritual impact of this #sundayservice project, simply look at this incredible shot taken by @the.smitan during the altar call. YES, I said ALTAR CALL. 😲 Tonight, worship was lifted, the name of Christ was exalted, the Word of God was preached, a multitude prayed together, the Gospel was clearly proclaimed, and an opportunity to respond was given. In a crowd of 6,000 people from all walks of life, all ages, and all races, i witnessed over 1,000 people respond to The Gospel by raising their hands to accept Jesus as their Lord & Savior! 😱🙌🏾 Say what you want, & think what you want.... But trust me when I tell you - The Spirit of the Living God was indeed present. I danced, wept, stood in awe of God’s redemptive work, & can honestly say that tonight I witnessed a new wave of REVIVAL first hand. #Jesusisking • Isaiah 43:19 “Behold I do a NEW thing. • 1 Corinthians 1:27 “But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. • #excited #inspired 📸 @the.smitan

Very cool. Now baptize them with some kind of holy water sprinkler system and laser lights, Kanye.

LYRICS FROM KANYE WEST’s SONG: “HANDS ON” FROM HIS LATEST BILLBOARD NUMBER 1 ALBUM: “JESUS IS KING”

Said I’m finna do a gospel album
What have you been hearin’ from the Christians?

They’ll be the first one to judge me

Make it feel like nobody love me

They’ll be the first one to judge me

Feelin’ like nobody love me

Told people God was my mission

What have you been hearin’ from the Christians?

They’ll be the first one to judge me

Make it feel like nobody love me

Make you feel alone in the dark and you’ll never see the light

Man, you’re never seein’ home and you never see the domes

I can feel it when I write, point of livin’ in the right

If they only see the wrongs, never listen to the songs

Just to listen is a fight, but you booked me for the fight

It’s so hard to get along if they only see the slight

From the love of religion

What have you been hearin’ from the Christians?

They’ll be the first one to judge me

Make it seem like nobody love me

I’m not tryna lead you to Visas

But if I try to lead you to Jesus

We get called halfway believers

Only halfway read Ephesians

Only if they knew what I knew, uh

I was never new ‘til I knew of

True and living God, Yeshua

The true and living God

(Somebody pray for me)

I deserve all the criticism you got

If that’s all the love you have, that’s all you got

To sing of change, you think I’m joking

To praise His name, you ask what I’m smoking

Yes, I understand your reluctancy, yeah

But I have a request, you see

Don’t throw me up, lay your hands on me

Please, pray for me

Hold myself on death

Hold it down, all fallen down

Somebody pray for me

That’s funny! I don’t care who you are. Billy Graham should have thought of it.

Praying for Kanye. This is what a tent revival looks like in 2019. Jesus is King.

Baptism is soul changing.

Is Kanye West leading the 4th Great Awakening?

How ironic it would be given his medium is rap (a musical style certainly not created to glorify God, in fact quite the opposite) and his wife achieved fame through a pornographic video.

Well, he’s no Elmer Gantry, but at least he’s trying! ;)

RE: Well, he’s no Elmer Gantry, but at least he’s trying!

*THAT* my friend is where the division among Christians lie. They can’t make head or tail of what’s going on.

Is he an Elmer Gantry or a Billy Graham in the making?

Only time will tell.

It’s a great feeling when someone I once HATED becomes someone who can be liked.

It’s not where you start but where you end up.

Right now it seems like he ended up in a good place.

Some talk about the money angle, how it’s a new market for him.

The guy’s worth a quarter of a billion dollars.

I think he’ll make LESS doing this but it doesn’t matter because he’s super rich and doesn’t have to worry about money or what anyone else thinks anymore.

I hope he keep going.

I wish well for him, hope well for him, pray well for him. God desires good for him, I can’t desire less.

No we can’t.

God may be using him too to reach the hard to reach

A lot of kids from the ‘hood listened to his nasty music so he might have some “street cred”.

If he saves a few, it’s worth it.

Actually getting saved, born again is soul changing. Baptism is just a public act to confirm your belief. It has no bearing on salvation

what is amazing is when I saw him on the Corben show...Kanye never ever smiled but now it is like he can’t keep from smiling.

No he was always angry.

There’s a special kind of joy when you connect to God that well.

I don’t have it yet :)

Ironic to maybe learn from Kanye West how to find that joy.

The older I get, the more the world amazes me sometimes.

I associate being born again with baptism. But I guess you can get saved with out holy water. It’s really about the commitment in your heart about Christ and his teachings.

All you have to do is to COMPLETELY AND FULL SUBMIT to his calling you. You will experience Joy that you never knew existed! That's how I got it. I'm living the life that I never knew existed. Didnt know what to ask for. And I'm certainly NOT talking about finances or material things....just a content, satisfying, joyful life.
