After a last-minute announcement on Friday, thousands of people gathered to worship with Kanye West in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
With no stage, lights, or fancy audio equipment, Jonathan Stockstill, the pastor of Bethany Church, introduced the rapper to the crowd.
“Can we hear it for Jesus?” Stockstill asked. “He is king tonight.”
West, standing between wooden crosses, opened with “Closed on Sunday,” with his daughter North sitting on top of his shoulders.
“You my Chick-Fil-A,” West rapped. “Hold the selfies. Put the ’gram away. Get your family. Y’all hold hands and pray. … Raise our sons. Train them in the faith, through temptations. Make sure they’re wide awake. Follow Jesus. Listen and obey.”
Curvine Brewington, a musician and pastor at Crossroads Church in Lafayette, Louisana, attended the event and took to Instagram to point out the spiritual change he saw first hand in West.
“If you’ve ever doubted the legitimacy or spiritual impact of this #sundayservice project, simply look at this incredible shot taken by @rebeccabradley__ during the altar call,” sharing a photo that showcased a large crowd with their hands in the air.
“YES, I said ALTAR CALL,” he added.
Thousands lifted their hands in worship, Christ’s name was lifted, and powerful prayers were said, Brewington shared.
“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,” Brewington wrote. “In a crowd of 6,000 people from all walks of life, all ages, and all races, I personally witnessed over 1,000 individuals accept Jesus as their Lord & Savior!”
He added that while many are doubting the rapper in his newfound faith, “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,” Brewington concluded.
“Incredible night,” the musician added to an Instagram story. “Such an honor to witness what God is doing firsthand.”
Brewington’s wife also added a photo to Instagram, writing, “This man met JESUS and He changed everything, and now he is telling everyone!”
I’m excited that he’s here,” Sierra Scoggins, an elementary school teacher in Baton Rouge said according to The Advocate. “It’s really good for the Baton Rouge community to be here and lift up Jesus’ name.”
“He has always lifted up God’s name,” she added. “I’m excited that he’s reaching a multitude of people.”
Frank Manguno, a salesman from the area, told The Advocate that he only recently became a fan after West’s transformation.
“I was interested because he said he was going go completely Christian,” Manguno said. “I was, like, ‘Well, this is crazy. Let me see about this.’”
Thanks for posting. HOORAY Kanye!
She sees her gravy train and all of her Hollywood friends disappearing, which is why she has yet to start dressing more modestly.
I think she hopes to have her cake and eat it too.
Having kids also made him wiser.
:) oh their heads are exploding right now...and have been. They well aware of just how far this mans influence stretches. This is their worst nightmare.
....except it appears it is real!!!
I believe this is a Miracle.
“Can we hear it for Jesus?” Stockstill asked. “He is king tonight.”
and then comes West,
“West, standing between wooden crosses, “
Something about that set up bothers me a lot. Everything in the Kardashian-West world is staged. Who ELSE was between wooden crosses and names “King”?? I have no doubt what he
is trying to set up.
I am not mocking, I am openly doubting. I don’t trust this guy and I don’t know how any Bible-believing Christian with a modicum of solid teachings can.
I’m praying for GOD to be in this situation which I am sure He is.
West had his own sensual and perverse lifestyle which he joined with the Kardashian’s positively demonic lifestyle and he brought kids into that mess.
He’s already known to have mental health trouble, he has an ENORMOUS ego. I think he’s lost it. I think he’s going to proclaim himself Jesus, a Savior, a Prophet, or the Father of God and have North step into that role.
He has people following this madness already. IF this is genuine he has taken baby steps and is not anyone to lead anyone anywhere!
Kanye has no humility, he has not burned his filthy lucre. In the last 2 weeks he proclaimed himself “the greatest artist of all time” and declared he going to be the POTUS. He has bragged on his 3 billion dollar business. THAT IS NOT CHRIST LIKE NOR EVEN APOSTLE LIKE!
You think the Devil is going to say “Hey I’m Satan follow me”?
Anyone else here see this?
Some of us have seen miracles in these past few months. Perhaps we’re about to witness an even greater miracle than that of POTUS DJT’s win. We pray this will be so. We will rejoice in our acknowledgement. PRAISE THE LORD!

I love that message! God is the potter, we are the clay. He takes a bunch of cracked pots and makes them whole again!
“IF this is genuine he has taken baby steps and is not anyone to lead anyone anywhere!”
Maybe this is isn’t sincere for him, and maybe he hasn’t changed his life. Still, if he has provided the true Gospel message to others, and the seed was planted, the Holy Spirit can and will work in hearts.
And there’s always ... redemption. We don’t know what’s in his heart.
Unbelievable things happen.
I remember being angry at Kanye for the way he treated Taylor Swift. And now she's just another generic, bought-and-sold uber-lib pimping herself out to China while paying lip-service to the "woke" SJWs who never bought a single Taylor Swift album.
Isn’t HE wonderful!? No matter who we are, we are still accepted by Him. We learn, ourselves, while attempting to teach others.

It’s OK to doubt. Many thinking people are like Thomas the Apostle. They need concrete evidence. That may be forthcoming. And even if it is not, at least thousands ofpepole are being persuaded to give Jesus a first or second look.
Paul said in Philippians 1:16 “8 But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.”

That’s a very interesting verse. Thanks for bringing it up.
Anyone remember Adrian Rogers?
Here’s one of his messages on false prophets.
(2 Peter 2:1-3)
Know them by their manner.
And many shall follow their pernicious ways… (v. 2)
Pernicious is a word we don’t use much today. It literally means “unbridled lust.” The center, sum and substance of their message is themselves.
They call themselves prophets, but they’re living in sin. Note their methods, manner, and way of life. Are they above reproach?
I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none of them doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants therefore as Gomorrah. Jeremiah 23:14
Success in ministry does not necessarily mean they’re doing God’s work. Statistics are no proof that something is of God, because “many will follow” (2 Peter 2:2). Some people love the sensual rather than the spiritual. Jesus said, “Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father, which is in heaven” (Matthew 7:21). Many people lead double lives. They are counterfeits.
WOW! Thank you for that.
Maybe it is because, from His point of view, we all are unlikely.
You never know.
For the time being, look at what time4good posted:
Paul said in Philippians 1:16:
“But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.”
Yes. And how many said about Jesus...”Him? He’s just a carpenter from Nazareth.”.
How many turned and walked away when He said, “You must eat my flesh and drink my blood.” Nowadays they would call Him Dracula or Hannibal Lecter.
His own right hand man denied Him three times.
And so forth and so on.
