Watch — Kanye West Announces Christian Music Revolution at Joel Osteen’s Church:
Breitbart ^ | 7 Nov 2019 | JEROME HUDSON

Posted on 11/17/2019 12:53:09 PM PST by Hojczyk

Kanye West joined Pastor Joel Osteen on stage at his Lakewood Church on Sunday and said he plans to recruit the best talent in the music industry and release new Christian music every month.

“This music is going to come every month. We dropping that heat. We’re in the studio. God is strengthening our hands,” Kanye West said to the over 17,000 in attendance and the millions watching on livestream.

“The devil stole all the good producers, the devil stole all the good musicians, all the good artists, all the good designers, all the good businesspeople, and said you’ve got to come work for me,” West said.

“We have writers. We have producers. We’re taking all the most fire producers and bring them back to God,” the Grammy-winner said to the roar of applause. “All the best voices, all the best dancers, all the worship for us to see that it’s through Christ — following the Bible can free us all.”

“When we bring up the name of Jesus, we’re told to be quiet. Every time I stand up, I feel that I’m standing up and drawing a line in the sand and saying, ‘I’m here in service to God,'” West continued.

West explained how he came to make Jesus Is King, his ninth consecutive number one album and his first Gospel album.

"Slow Train Coming" only Dylan that speaks to me...watched his only SNL appearance afterwards and "Gotta Serve Somebody"

Those two songs are amazing and I am Jewish/will never be Christian but I can see what was going on. Which was true Testimony by Dylan.

I guess you've forgotten about this:

Matthew 14:13-21

Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand

13 When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns. 14 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick.

15 As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”

16 Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”

17 “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.

18 “Bring them here to me,” he said. 19 And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. 20 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 21 The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.

Luke 18:25 does not provide that a poor man has a less impossible task.

It amazes me seeing the number of “so-called Christians” on here that are wanting Kanye to fail so they can claim “righteousness” just like the Pharisees of old. I find that disappointing and disgusting. These are the same kind of people that turned me away from religion years ago. It wasn’t until I found a Grace-based church that I became a true follower of Jesus. I then learned about a relationship with my Savior over “following a religion”. What a wonderful life I have now.

yep...guess that so close to the same as satellite cable into 500 markets at once....

My Savior spoke with less people in his ENTIRE life, than a TV huckster speak with in the first five seconds of their broadcast.

NOT BU MIGHT MY SPIRIT. (Says the Lord)

God bless you.

In the end, the modern-day Pharisees will lose. They always do. They will be swallowed up by the coming tsunami of the Gospel of the Grace of Christ.

True. But a poor man is constrained often to pray because of the utter precariousness of his existence. It sometimes does not even occur to a rich man to pray very often --- unless the diagnosis is "stage-4, metastasizing,and inoperable".

If you want to go to the BibleGate online concordance and search keywords "rich" and "poor" in the NT--- and read them straight through --- you might conclude that Jesus was strong on his anti-rich, pro-poor inclination, almost to the point of obstinacy.

Even Mary his sweet Mother took up the theme (Luke 2:46-55). Oy, it troubles me, too.

You don't know that and can't know that.

“go to the BibleGate online concordance and search keywords “rich” and “poor” in the NT-— and read them straight through -— you might conclude..”

I use Strong's. I know Biblical doctrine, thanks.

Those who are not trying are dying...This might be an actual Bob Dylan lyric or maybe I am imagining.

What he really sang was>>> Dylan — “He not busy being born is busy dying.”

He should stay far away from Olsteens. Olsteens will just use him to justify his prosperity gospel schtick.

Did you actually read what I wrote( three posts on this thread, now four) or are you just angry about something? I’ll repeat. It’s great he’s doing what he’s doing but I’ll make an analogy. Suppose Kanye just started learning martial arts. He gets his first belt, not a black belt not a 5th dan black belt, just his first yellow belt. And Kanye goes out and makes a movie about martial arts and everyone wants to believe he’s the second coming of Chuck Norris or Bruce Lee.

Great he’s doing well. My fear for his soul is he’s going out there too fast and too hard without yet being grounded in the word. Can you understand this? Dylan and others went out and made people lose faith because they couldn’t stand for Jesus longer than a couple albums. My prayer AGAIN is for Kanye to be grounded in the word first before he POSSIBLY removes all doubt later on.

A new believer in the Lord should probably NOT be on stage preaching Jesus unless they can handle the push back and end up caught up later on in shallow words during interviews and worse.

I’ve seen it happen all too often.

It sometimes does not even occur to a rich man to pray very often --- unless the diagnosis is "stage-4, metastasizing,and inoperable".

I was told that, practically verbatim, by the richest guy in the parish, and his wife, at a Bible study. It's not an invariable law, but it makes sense. This particular man said a driven, confident, Alpha-style rich man doesn't take time to pray unless he's driven to his knees. In this brother's case, it was cocaine.

Do get your Strong's and read straight through the "rich" and "poor" NT passages, and experience is full, cumulative weight. It doesn't deviate much from chapter to chapter or from book to book. Some pretty uncomfortable reading.

According to West:

“””The mentality is that Satan is as powerful as God, but this isn’t true. The trend is going to change. Jesus has won the victory because now the greatest artist that God ever created is working for him,” he added.””

...10....9....8....7....6....5....4.....3.....2....1....

Will not take long....sorry West supporters....”Pride comes before a fall”

Will the fall be spiritually fatal? Don’t know....but it will come.

100% of the time.
