These are my honest thoughts about the album as well as Kanye. But hey - what are YOURS? Let me know in the comments and hit that SHARE button fam! :) ye ye
Are you a Drake fan?
Agree with your thoughts. God only judges.
I like Trainers
Well said:)
Well said Ming!!
We Christians can be a weird bunch. We pray for revival but when God sends revival in a way we don't expect, we then say it's not of God. We pray for awakening to come to the world and for souls to come into His kingdom. Then when God answers our prayer by saving someone like Kanye West, we have all kinds of doubts.
We: Wah God....Kanye West oso can get saved ah?
God: ABUDEN??!!
Abuden..... 😂
This is so appropriate
What was Kanye saved from? The man just made the worst album of his entire career, I think that's pretty far from being saved.
@@elyiwen8010 He got saved from having to spend eternity without Jesus.
Bro this summed up everything perfectly.
Joseph Loh Kanye has been extremely vocal of his religious beliefs since the start of his career so I’m not exactly sure what you mean lol. Does that mean for the past 42 years of his life, he wasn’t Christian?
Kanye's album was bold. You making this video was bold. Maybe it's time for believers to be bolder?
AMEN TO THAT!!☆☆☆☆☆
It's always time for that.
'if they are not against us they are for us' -Jesus
Amen!
Ming, now i came to know that You are Christian , i'm a huge fan of your Channel thank God that we are brother in Christ.
God blessed you to achieve way more than your dreams👍🙏.
Me tooo!
Same!! Didnt know hes a Christian, and ive been following this channel since many many yrs ago.
And yes, i agree with everything Ming said here, we shouldnt hide our light under a rock. With what Kanye has done really encourages me to keep showing the light.
@@yofitakatherine keep it up ! will keep u in prayers ! be the brightest light and the salt in ur surroundings ! pray for wisdom and strength before the things are set to be done . :)
Yeah this is what I been waiting for as a Christian.
Me 2 brother
100% Truth: His album, these songs, actually moved me back toward my lost faith and seeking Jesus again and I wasn't ever a fan of his former music. The fact that he smiles ALL the time now compared to before, something to that. Selah especially, stirs my soul.
I personally had my problems with the album and overall it didn't feel real to me
@@TheUnitedMarshmallowFederation In the end, you're right, I think it was much more of a "false fire". I ultimately ended up only temporarily touched by the music.
@@DarlaAnne yea although I did enjoy Jesus is king, my hope was that with is next album that he would explain his religious transformation in a more concrete way, but unfortunately I don't think that'll come to pass.
@@TheUnitedMarshmallowFederation Agreed. I don't think so either.
Really didn't expect a vlog like this...BUT STILL LOVE IT!!!
PREACH MING PREACH😀
I am agnostic not a Christian but this album made me wanna read up on the bible. I've been curious about Christianity for a long time but I got good vibes from this album! Even if it's a stunt, it won't takeaway the feelings I got from this!
Silver Man pray that you’ll encounter God personally!!
@@SYZY0908 thank you!
You will fall in love with the character of Jesus Christ 😊
Praying!
Amen :) thanks Ming for this video and bringing this up
One of the best reviews I watched thus far amen brother spot on!!! 🙏🏽 just subbed
Great one with this, Ming!! The world needs to see this
Very well said brother Ming Han! True, who are we to judge?..we are called to love indeed. Praise God! Keep doing what you do best. God bless you bro 👍🏻🙏😀
Thank you ming Han for expressing your thoughts. Love your videos.
Lovin all the 'ye ye's
I cried, minghan. Thank you for the video!
“Don’t hide the light under the rock” 🔥
Hifish
ye ye
i like more under a basket but none the less i get your point
Ye ye. Appreciate your view! Thx for sharing and breaking down the tracks MH!
Thanks for a smart, thoughtful and spiritually mature review of the album. Respect for you as you pursue your craft (which you do so very well) and be open about all aspects of who you are.
Ming, I’ve been following and liking this channel for a long time now. Didn’t know you’re a brother in Christ😀🙏. Thank you for voicing out the same thoughts of us who doesn’t have platforms. I think the church has been the most judgmental people ever, if not all, I speak to myself and it’s a constant battle to ask God the discernment that He can genuinely change people. Let’s give each other a chance and yes- spread the love of Jesus❤️.
ye ye
very well said. watched it till the end, and salute you for such a mindset.
If a lost brother comes back home, we should clothe him. I'm not concerned since I don't really follow people, but the hate being thrown by some just reminds me why I left the so-called church.
GnaReffotsirk, I agree with you. I will pray for you to find a great church. None are perfect, mind you, for the devil works overtime to get us distracted with offences, gossip, etc. We must keep our eyes on Jesus, and as we stay in the Spirit, we won't be so easily offended. Pray to find a church in which the pastor knows how to and listens to, and is led by the Holy Spirit. Do not forsake the assembling, and even more so as you see the day approaching. Blessings and love in Jesus name.
There is a comment i relate so much before yours. It says "we Christians are a weird bunch". And it is true, one minute we preach about loving your neighbor and don't gossip the next we are gossiping about our church members. The church i am attending right now does the same thing. Their tagline or logline or whatever you want to call it is "Welcome Home" but tbh i dont feel "home" instead there, i feel judged because of my loud music taste etc. So when i start to feel the amount of bs stinking from them, i wonder is it me or is it them? But then again, i realised instead of piling hate on them, why not move on and ignore them. After all, you wake up at 5am to worship your Maker not your peers etc.
Love your presentation. Perfect. Thank you and God Bless all of your days. So happy for Kanye, he has found Peace. Much Love
I love your approach and perspective. Nicely done!😁
Best review I’ve heard in a while my man !
Ye ye! Thank you Ming for a great sharing, and for using this platform to be a testimony for Christ! :) "Dont be bitter, let's get better"
Love this! Finally, a Christian-related vlog! We need more of this! 🙌🏻♥️
+1
Looking forward to see more local influencers being bold in their faith. Love is the key in everything we do & Jesus is the source of them all. Love what you're doing bro. Continue to shine. God bless ya! Cheerssss
Wow. This is really solid brother! I really thank God for Him placing the courage in you to make this video and to just share your heart out for Kanye and for God. Indeed as christians we are called to love because God loved us first and who are we to judge if ALL have sinned and fallen short of God's Glory? Wonderful video brother! Love it! :)
Ye ye! Agreed on your stand on this so far, thanks for the reminder that we are to love and support, not to judge first :D
Love this. Very similar to my thoughts. You are inspiring me to make a video.
Ye Ye!
Great insight and 100% on board with your views. Thanks for sharing.
I almost never leave comments, but felt I had to. You speak much truth in this video.
I do hope that in the future, God shower you with wisdom and creativity, to make videos that become light and salt to the community that follows and watches you!
Hoping for more good stuff!
i rly like whole thing and the clarity of your thoughts like YES
I would want to believe that Kanye is really sincere in his faith by putting his effort in this album. The fruit of spirit will ultimately be the judge of his life in time to come. As for now, we really need to give him love hope and acceptance. And at the same time, Jesus also said, “go and sin no more”
You just did one of the best reaction with a proper message. I just became your subcriber !! God can use anyone even a CZcamsr like you. First i was sceptical as well but as i listened few times especially God is an amazing song. Kanye watch this video..Ming is awesome
Wow... God bless brother! I am encourage. Thank your for Sharing the Love of God!
Appreciate your review Ming! Couldn't agree more with you. Thanks for the reminder of Christian values. I had heard of the album but haven't listened to it yet. I'll do it asap. "ye ye"
Ye ye
You are one of those Christians who I don’t mind talking about religion to. Thanks for this video and for reminding people to love and be supportive.
I have probably watched over 30 reaction videos to Jesus is King, and I have yet to see a Christian say anything that wasn't supportive. I think there is such pleasant surprise at the depth of Kanye's feeling and the degree of Bible knowledge he has put into the record that the Christian response is unlikely to be anything other than pleasant surprise. It's also kind of funny that Kanye fans miss most of the Christian references than Christians recognize right off the bat. The most criticism comes from people in the rap/hip-hop recording industry who think the production is weak, with a few hints that maybe this whole Christian thing is a marketing gimmick.
Your reaction is well-stated, and I agree with you. He's a brother we should support and pray for.
Enjoyed your video every much......Good Bless 🇨🇦
Like how you are explaining it to the viewers! Every while done 👍 l’m a-born Christian! God Bless 🇨🇦
Good job brother well done, hope lots Christian's sees this
I usually never comment on videos, but i truly applaud you man for making this video. i'm sure God honours how bold you were to make a video like this as well. Praise God! :)
He's supposed to be releasing his next album around Christmas entitled, Jesus Is Born.
Miguel Cisneros i saw and have a lot of atheists friends who loved this album based off production and some lyrics, despite what they represent but some extremists did hate it just CAUSE of its purpose. Overall I loved this album
PRAISE GOD!! MY PRAYERS ARE BEING ANSWERED!!
GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME
🕎📖🕎📖🕎📖🕎📖🕎📖
AColdPiece Yes, be bold after 61 million unborn babies have been legally killed, many with our tax dollars. Nobody takes Christians seriously, and it will be A WHILE before they do. Jesus' real birthday is 9/11. Dec 25 is a pagan celebration of child sacrifice as is Easter. Open source.
“Don’t get bitter, let’s get better!” 🔥
YE YE
Ming Thing ~~~By far the BEST Review that Ive listened to on this New Kanye West album!! ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Well spoken Brother🤗😇
Nice honest review, God bless.
ye ye fam
Really love your thoughts and opinions on the album! Must admit that I was skeptical too when I first saw that he released an album called Jesus Is King (because who would expect that from Kanye right?) but after actually listening to the album I think you can really hear the sincerity behind the lyrics. Truly agree that we should always build each other up as Christians instead of tear each other down!
“ye ye”
Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
We Christian are imperfect and sometimes we are too busy judging people we forget our duty as Christians is to show others the love that God showed us.
God have loved and forgave us even if we keep failing Him, so who are we to judge on others?
May God Bless You ✨❤️
EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO.
I'm a Christian myself, and have been enjoying Kanye's music for awhile now. The details he put in his work is just, amazingly creative and inspiring. I appreciate how Kanye has always been genuine and bold in his relationship with God even though sometimes road was rocky for him. At times in his music, he voiced out his frustration, doubt, anger for God and honestly these feelings are all real. These are the challenges to overcome in pursuing God. It's just upsetting to see many Christians projecting negative judgments on Kanye as well as others before they try to understand what people have been through. Christians being judgemental is one of the reasons why people refuse to step into the church! As Christians, our first commandment is to love God, and the second is to love others as ourselves. Let's love more, judge less and hate non, it's cliché but true.
Admittedly I was little skeptical when Jesus Is King was released, but after looking through the lyrics, damn like what you said... Kanye has definitely done his bible study man. So much emotions, so much to say, and Ming you've said what's been bottling in me!! The balls it takes for someone to declare God's word in front of millions.. Imagine the weight of the cross. Kanye was ready to do what God called him to do. I truly respect him for it.
Ultralight Beam was my favourite from Kanye but now we have this album, I can't decide anymore lah.
Maybe you could work on your language too?
Mon Ember considering their YT name I’m gonna assume their nature language isn’t English, so no they don’t have to work on it, fuck off :)
SRT Gang A little careful with the cursing please. I know Mon Ember was a little rude but don’t resort to that please.
coolrubygal it’s the internet.. I don’t think me cursing or not on it will matter, either way I’m sorry it affected you.
@@jayzor well, SRT Gang I was commenting on the use of the poster's curse words only. The language sounded perfectly fine to me. You could watch the use of your curse words too for that matter. Also, stop being an overly sensitive jerk. Do you not believe that there could be a Westerner with the name of Yen?
In Hollywood being a Christian is a career killer. His boldness is more than I’ve ever seen with any celebrity. God is in his heart now. We need to pray for him for strength against the enemy.
His album actually moved me back toward my lost faith and I wasn't even a fan of his former music.
Thomas Truther you obviously don’t know what Jesus can do to someone. It’s your opinion.
@Thomas Truther You'd be wise to remember who Jesus associated with before casting your stones. And that's not true. Kanye has denounced ALL his former music that made him millions. He doesn't curse anymore (or tries not to). He is concerned for how his children (daughters especially) will dress and what they will watch. Also, one of those Kardashians, his own wife, just helped free a woman from prison and is working to become a lawyer to help others. Kanye is also wanting to focus on prison reform and helping parolees get jobs when they get out. People can change and grow. Yeah he still has a big ego, but IMO he's very honest and self-aware. And I could not STAND him before. Ever. Also go look at older pics and videos of him. The man never smiled. Not even while making millions of dollars. Ever since he found Jesus, he can't STOP smiling and it is a smile that radiates his entire face. I'm telling you, his conversion is 100% real.
@Thomas Truther And the witchcraft thing is just ridiculous. There is not a single speck of a sign that they are actual witches and the allure that some of these CZcams videos selling these conspiracies, SO powerful and people go SO deep down that rabbit hole and lose sight of common sense. They had a famous lawyer for a father. The mother then created a TV show. They got rich because of social media. End of story.
Thomas Truther you sound ridiculous I couldn’t help but cackle. Coming from a person who has been a Christian their whole life and seeing my dad going from doing a lot of drugs to dedicating his life to God and Jesus it’s possible for somome like Kanye to change the way they are to follow God and Jesus. His personality change should say it all. He’s trying to help others and hold his hand out to people so others can join his journey. He bought thousands of acres of land and he’s planing on building manufacturing buildings for yeezy so he can put people in jobs. He’s very family oriented and he’s been around Christianity his whole life.
“Don’t Hide your light under the rock”. Thank you so much Ming for making this video.
I agree with you 100% and I’ve been trying to figure out how to explain the genuineness of KANYE’S cry for support.
Jesus said if you hate your neighbour, you have commited murder in your heart.
Great review. Track # 8 stopped me in my tracks!
Honestly I was very skeptical about Kanye being a Christian because I’ve seen so many celebrities be ‘Christians’ and are just not living it. But if God is using Kanye, who am I to stand in the way of that?
My kids were nominated for a Grammy in 2005 for an album of Hymns, so I saw Kanye oerform Gold digger with a full on marching band coming all through the arena. As great as that was, it is no comparison to this music imho, for this music is of a different realm. Look up Kanye West Sunday Service YT videos, and the one where he and his choir take over the airplane. I will search and post again. Even better than the album, which I bought and love, especially "God Is, "for the songs are longer and even more amazing. Oh, look up Praise Break Kanye West on YT where you can see the video of God Is, watch him at the end, and see if he doesn't remind you of King David leaping and praising God.
DeLise Graham-Hill you know satan was the leader of worship? Dont let lovely music and sounds distract you from the words. Hence why hymms are the greatest of all as they are from the word.
Totally agree with you. I think that many of us Christians grew up among other Christians in church and it somehow shaped our minds to have high expectations of other Christians to be more Christ-like because we all know God personally. However, we unconsciously bring this mindset out when we are outside of church too. Thus, setting godly standards on non-Christians, causing us to judge non-Christians very harshly. Man, even Christians can't hold up to God's standard, what more non-Christians that don't even know Him personally? Let us all learn to love God and love people. :)
ye ye
YEYE | Thank you for sharing this, Ming! Really appreciate your thoughts. If you're wondering if anyone's gonna watch this, YES PEOPLE ARE GONNA WATCH THIS. Thank you for sharing the gospel in this video as you review Kanye's album. You've encouraged a fellow believer here! Your video work has always been inspiring to me. Keep it up! Rooting for you, my fellow-brother-in-Christ. :) Let us continue to glorify God and share the depths of the Lord's love, through our genuine works and honest testimonies. ALL THE BEST MINGGGGGG~
Thanks for this ....God bless you .
Ye ye.. Thanks for sharing your thoughts 😊👍
Ye ye. Not a christian but i guess i'll spend some time and listen to the whole album😊
As a spiritual person with my Catholic background, I just really appreciate how someone could change for the better and even give huge acknowledgment for the reason of his change and his struggles along the way in accepting help and needing help; and a hip-hop fan here is already loving the bits of the soundtrack you've played here! Personally haven't heard of the full album yet, but I'm excited to hear what he has to say about his journey in his spiritual life. Totally agree with your stance as well! Cheers.
Well spoken bruh... Truly only God can judge the fruits of a tree... One thing is for sure thru this video, that you both are a awesome bunch in the modern days, not being ashamed of being Christ follower. Respect... A big YE YE...
thanks for this bro
John 3:16 Isaiah 53 The Gospel 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Shalom from NC! A new subscriber! Kanye fan now!
It is a bold move! I believe he’s transforming and has chosen to serve God.
Hey Ming. Thank you 🙏🏼 for this video. I’ve been a ninja believer praying fervently for all even celebs God puts in mind. True. We are called to love & point to peace ✌🏽- Yeshua
A very insightful and loving reaction, as a Christian most of the stumbling blocks are sadly thrown in the Church......Satan doesn't bother the people following world, they are already doing his bidding.........he attacks the the Believers in Christ......he hates us only because God The Father and His Son Jesus Christ loves us.....it's satans only desire to see us fall. I don't know about anyone else out there..but unless you hung on a cross and died for the Worlds sins You have no right to judge. We are to search the scriptures to prove what we hear preached is True..period! and pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ...and no matter who is speaking Gods Word does not return void....It is Truth..and the Truth will set WHO SO EVER FREE
Amen to part 3!!
ye ye.... i also enjoy this kinda vids over those dynamic stuff(lots of movements/B roll?)
ye ye
I appreciate your response to the album. I had a couple of thoughts about some your takes on the songs:
1) Closed on Sunday - although I think that you're right about the positive encouragements in the song being aimed at Christians (and pre-Christians, too), I think that the lyrics that are more of a challenge or warning are actually written not to the Church, but to the demonic and possibly those who practice witchcraft, too. The line "Jezebel don't even stand a chance" is a big clue to this. Kanye is talking on levels that a lot of Christians don't even have a grid for, and I think that is at least in part because of the deliverance that he personally went through.
2) Everything We Need - I think that his line about Eve, apple juice, and putting it back on the tree is actually saying the opposite of what you think it's saying. You got a "we all make mistakes" vibe from it, but I hear the line as "let's not make the same mistake Adam did, because [with Jesus] we actually have everything we need." On a broader level, I think he's taking a swing at the materialism that many people get caught up in (in the hip-hop world, as well as many other places). I think he's trying to turn that value system on its head and show people that they can actually be content with what they have.
My $0.02. Thanks for taking the time to read it!
It's funny how everyone says track one is exactly like going to Church. I grew up Catholic my whole life, went to church every Sunday with my family and the choirs never sounded like this. I like it though, it's quite powerful.
Fast forward today and I don't attend church anymore, nor would I consider myself Catholic but I do consider myself a Christian and I personally really like this album. I wish him the best of luck with his walk and whether he's being genuine or not, he is at the very least, making people talk about Jesus and looking up Bible verses, so I would consider that a good thing.
wow! “first fruit” of a new born christian! 👍🏻👍🏻 do more video like this! love it! i seldom comment on videos.. but this..👍🏻👍🏻
i watched till the end, well said brother.
LOVE THIS.
Thank you for the video. I don't even know much about Kanye West or his music. But thank you for a video promoting love and not hate.
The Lord spoke and said Kanye Had a Heart Like David to a very well-known pastor that the Lord speaks to , I also have heard his testimony and he has truly been born again Praise the Lord, we should never put God in a box Hes Limitless He died for the sins of the whole world not just a few selected Saints, we should never limit God ,,so praise God for Kanye we need to as the body of Christ pray for him because the enemy ain't too happy about it we should know this,, and we need to keep him in prayer. Praise Jesus a year ago I wouldn't have said. This but God has done something,, yes Kanye recently said the Lord said are you ready now son, and yes the Lord is able to do a great Revival, through Kanye or anyone whom the the chooses!God bless❤
Well said MingH! I personally like how Jesus has moved Kanye's life and pouring his heart into this beautiful Album and i believe it won't just stop there to Kanye's life but to more life out there who longing for the puzzle that is missing in peoples life that specific piece of puzzle, that one piece that can make us whole.
ye ye 😂 surprised to see this vid! I RMB in the early days you did a cover of beautiful saviour right? Can't seem to find it now 🤔
Its not just an album he's held "Sunday Services" where he played the album inter spliced with full gospel and an actual service half way through for very low prices and even went to the lengths of banning alcohol sales in the venue. He also recently made an opera after the story of Nebuchadnezzar that has nothing to do with his own music.
I attended both and I don't even consider myself a Christian but as someone with a strong Roman Catholic background I have nothing but respect for his resolve with this. True goat this man.
I'm so happy for Kayne. I LOVE this album. I honestly feel like he is being genuine and being a light where it is needed. He was going down a very very very prideful path. GOD Grabbed a hold of him and showed him the truth of Jesus Christ. I honestly also feel like... his song " Jesus Walks." was the first finger print we had of Kayne gift to speak of Jesus.
ye ye
Much love, I think a lot of people needed this
Me being one of them
not part of the christian community, but totally agree with your honest thought. no one is perfect! to love and no to hate! no matter which religious community you are in :)
Ye ye
No but foreal 💯 other than the fact that its such a meaningful and impactful album the beats and 808s is freakin insaneee, featuring Kenny G as well whewwww
Mad respect to Ye despite the backlash he got in the hip hop community,
Hope this album inspires others in their own walk with God.
ye ye. bless you my friend.
Well said!
Once our hearts is in sync with the Lord, we will cheer for His son Kanye West and love our brother, or else, one may spew hate to show, which is the known characteristics of our enemy.
Well.... Well said.
Woah thanks for sharing, and it’s true, show love and forgiveness. Who are we to judge 😊
well freaking said 👏🏽
This needs to get trending!!!!
Preach.
Thanks for sharing this from a fellow Christians perspective. I definitely cant cast the first stone myself. I totally agree!
Somehow after watching your videos for so long, i didn't know you are a christian. Praise the Lord , Jesus is glorified in this video for sure. Amen!
I couldn't agree more. I am so frustrated with the negative feedback from Christians. As I Christian I'm so ashamed
True! It's pretty sad to read so many negative comments from some people who called themselves christians when all we need to do actually pray for him, his family and his growth in Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour.
Claiming to be a Christian or claiming to have changed doesn't immediately require forgiveness or ignoring present and past misdeeds. Otherwise, priests wouldn't need serious investigation and criticism for child molestation or protecting other child molesters.
Esther, Don't apologize for others bad behaviour, God will deal with those people who are judging and hatin'on KANYE
The Fruits of Kanye's transformation are evident to a 2 yr old!🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴
God bless you, bro
Bingo!❤it! Great job Kanye!
MIRACLE 👍😃 love it
First fruit; love, peace and joy.
Amen!
Tears were flowing down while watching this vid...
