What's Really Happening To Kanye West? (A Cautionary Tale)

- In this video, we'll look at Kanye West as something of a cautionary tale because his trajectory, and the reasons for it, are something that I think we all can learn from. I hope you enjoy!

I don’t think I have EVER commented but I’ve been watching your videos (literally everyone) for about a year now and I just want to applaud you and reassure you that you are changing lives. This channel was certainly a stepping stone in my journey to Christ. God Bless you, Brandon.
WOW! This made my day! Praise God & thank you for sharing! ❤️
@@Daily_Dose_Of_Wisdomhey sorry if you've gotten a lot of messages saying this but I keep getting my messages deleted. I sent you Dr Hovinds personal number they hope to hear from you soon.
Me too! I love watching Brandon’s videos! All the way from Australia 🇦🇺 keep up the great work!
@@Daily_Dose_Of_Wisdom Kanye is a satanist and a Freemason this is a easily verifiable fact
@@Daily_Dose_Of_Wisdom Have you done any research on Kanye's mental health? It may or may not be why his behavior is so erratic. God Bless!
what Kanye doesn't understand is when you part the Red Sea, you still got to go through the desert before you get to the promised land. My man got lost in the desert and is saying " does God hate us for bringing us to the desert?" He doesn't realize its the desert that is going to build up his character and make a real man out of him.
They did not make it to the promised land. They all died in the wilderness save Joshua and Caleb.
@@haggismcbaggis9485 true not everyone makes it. But thats the point. He who endures till the end shall be saved.
@dozo - I'll bet $100 you've never seen a desert :)
@@dozogoviovvrenvah1439 I guess when the Israelites were complaining that their god brought them out to the desert to die they had some legitimacy to their grievance.
Good analogy, never heard that !
"Jesus never promises to help us build our kingdom he invites us into his." Well said sir!
He's not well. Pray for him!
He's well off the rails, but least he's not lukewarm. Most of the people I love are completely apathetic. They don't even have an interest in sitting down and talking about God.
Prayers 🙏
He's literally off his meds...he refuses to take them..i'm typing this before I watched the vid but I heard him speak on this before.
@@Miles_305 what’s the point and who really wants opinions from sheep. Read Romans 1 KJV or learn the simple way it’s first grade stuff.
He’s well, This man has never been for Christ, but for himself
God is not a genie. His will is His will and He will not sway from it. If your prayer is outside of that will, it will be a hard no. But I trust that no, because He is greater and knows things that I don't know. I've received no's but what I can boldly testify is that He has never left me to suffer in that disappointed state. He always shows up, even after a no.
It's us that dont show up. I hear in what Kanye is saying a critique of modern Christians. God doesnt work like a genie, but he does use us to further the kingdom. When someone calls out for help from Jesus, as Christians we should hear that and step up for Jesus to help. Surrendering yourself to God means being obedient and letting Him use you for His will. Most Christians don't want to get involved and help. Likewise we dont want to help ourselves we just use God as that genie and think he magically fixes us but His plan is for us to come to Him and we do that work. We have to wrestle with God hence "Isreal".
@@LilJbm1 Yh this is true too. We do need to help our brothers and sisters in Christ for sure. I was responding more to what Kanye said about "having issues with Jesus" and him "praying and not seeing Jesus show up". If you pray and you don't see Jesus show up that shouldn't cause issues because He is not a genie. People need to surrender to God and help their brothers and sisters in Christ like you said but people also need to surrender when God says no and trust that He knows best. I think another thing he might be suffering from when it comes to modern Christianity mostly in western circles is the whole 'name it claim it' and prosperity gospel nonsense. Praying for the guy regardless. I hope he can rebuild and strengthen his faith in our Saviour.
Very interesting, the fear of the Lord. I read spanish, and in the spanish version of the bible, the fear of the Lord isnt “miedo” which is typical fear and terror, rather, the word used is “temor”, which is more in line with the concept of awe and admiration.
If I say to you “no temas” how would you define or understand that to be, not to be in awe or do not fear
Yes. The fear of God means that we recognize He is Almighty; all powerful, brilliant beyond description; too much for my words to describe! And we are pitifully just the opposite! If He wanted to, He could squash us like bugs. Yet, He is loving and patient, slow to anger. When we realize this, that is the beginning of wisdom for us.
@@DavidMorales008 there is nuance to that brought on by the context. When you tell someone to “no temas” you are using it in the context if “no temas por tu vida” (dont fear for your life) or similar. It can be used in that way, but in the context of God, it is always used in the respect form. There is also something to be said about “fearing the one who can kill the soul”, the thing about it is the context. It is said this way to put into perspective just who it is that you are addressing when you speak to the Lord. If we are to take that aspect of who God is, then we must take all aspects, which includes the mercy. We are not just talking about simple emotions and concepts here, and to break them down to the bare primal concept of “fear” would be missing the point.
To sinplify: if you want to tell people to respect a king, I say “ten temor”
If I say “admire your friend” it would be “adrmiralo”
There is a higher tier in “temor”. You could even love your king because he is just, but he is king, and my life is in his hands. Its a concept we dont currently feel in society, so perhaps that explains the confusion.
@@pepethunder it’s not a confusion we just have to be real careful when we say English translation missed the mark this longer explanation you just did is what you may want to consider in the future because non believers or skeptics would use any excuse to say our God is not real if a English speaking nonbeliever sees your your first comment they may say things like “what am I supposed to do learn all languages and translations to fully understand the Word” some teachers tell folks about the original Greek or Aramaic scriptures that are more revealing but I as former non believer would have said how big is your God if I have to learn Ancient Greek and Aramaic to fully understand, I’m not trying to give you a hard time I’m also bilingual and even have a English/Spanish language Bible that I love but using your King analogy is much better for teaching non believers than using the “it make more sense in Spanish” teaching method I think your a great teacher just want to help you get even better your second example was better when we teach in a open social media setting we have to teach with the unbeliever in mind and there heads are so full of doubt sometimes it better to use examples while still using what bible they may use unless they are using the Passion translation or some non biblical bible translation God bless brother I hope I didn’t come off like a jerk I just believe in iron sharpening iron and I was a big mess as an unbeliever but being born again I can now look back at how my doubts were so blind
Awe and admiration alone are not sufficient imo for the phrase fear of the Lord.
Obviously there is more to it than fear alone as well.
But I think getting rid of the fear part is a mistake.
The Bible says that you shouldn't fear the devil nor other things, but God Who can destroy both body and spirit.
What it comes down to for me is to be mindful of God in all I am doing, to involve Him in my life fully.
That's what it means for me to have the fear of the Lord.
I think something that Kanye suffers from, that so many people do, is thinking that God is our cosmic bellhop that we can call on by praying whenever we need Him to do something for us.
Yep. I was well into middle age, when I realized that God didn't die for our sins just to give us freedom of choice. He isn't a superhero. He died to give us a different kind of freedom.
There is no god. You ppl be talking to yourselves lol
which is assuming prayer works like its pagan imitation: witchcraft
I thought that’s exactly the benefit of being Christian?
Small problem. There is at least one scripture saying calling on God, is heard, and answered.
The Gospel message simply fell upon rocky soil; the truth never took root as the seed was choked out by the ways and pleasures of this world!
“I’m the god of me”
That about sums up the problem, whether it’s comes from selfishness or mental illness (probably both).
Let us all pray for him(disconnection happens to people Prayer helps)
Prayers 🙏
Intercessory prayer has been studied for over 150 years. With respect to health outcomes, meta analysis shows that intercessory prayer has no discernible effect. Knowing this, why would you believe prayer would have any benefit for Kanye?
@@Jonas-gl9keFactually incorrect
@@Daily_Dose_Of_Wisdom Factually correct. Prayer has been studied for over 150 years and it has no discernible effect compared to a person the meditates for 5 - 30 min a day
@@Daily_Dose_Of_Wisdom “For instance, a 2006 meta analysis on 14 studies concluded that there is "no discernible effect" while a 2007 systemic review of intercessory prayer reported inconclusive results, noting that 7 of 17 studies had "small, but significant, effect sizes" but the review noted that the three most methodologically rigorous studies failed to produce significant findings.[16][17]”
The conclusion from the STEP in cardiac bypass patients: “Intercessory prayer itself had no effect on complication-free recovery from CABG, but certainty of receiving intercessory prayer was associated with a higher incidence of complications.”
The hypocrisy in every religion will drive people away. People think you accept Jesus in your life and things will just fall into place smoothly that isn’t what happens most of the time. I went through a long period of time where I had a big problem with God and his “followers”. I finally found my way back, and I hope Kanye can to. For a long time I didn’t understand Fear of the Lord.
amen, judging Gods nature by his followers is so wrong but so easy to do
Thanks for your honesty
Fight sin with all your heart ❤️
Brandon, I truly appreciate you showing the distinction between fear and reverence. That people not live in the "fear" of God (meaning to be under a feeling of immense terror) but to be in an awestruck, reverential understaning that God is who he is. There is a level of awareness that comes with that. Like as a child to "fear" your parents is a good thing. Meaning you have an understanding of their expectations and relation to you. That they (hopefully) want better for you and work with you towards that. God has that fatherly role with us and he deals with us accordingly.
Because fear of God, is not emotional fear. It is awe, and respect for who God is.
Fear of God is all of the above. Including emotional fear.
@@user-hz4uu8dh6r You can't love someone/something you have to fear. The disciples were terrified when they first saw Jesus after the resurrection. Jesus's first words to them were, "Peace be with you. (Shalom)" Not what you'd expect from someone who was just betrayed, tortured, and killed. Of course we fear God emotionally at some point, but we know he loves us and even died and sacrificed himself for us, so there's nothing to fear. It's like the relationship a baby has to their parents. Rejoice! Be happy! A sign of the Holy Spirit is joy, despite the suffering of the world and our ultimate destruction. Trust in God and there's nothing to fear.
@@user-hz4uu8dh6r it's not the type of fear you have when you meet a tiger, I wouldn't say it is emotional fear. I think respect for God is a better term.
It's common sense. It's the same as fear of heights or fear of drowning, however the stakes are greater because now your soul is also on the line.
@@user-hz4uu8dh6rAmen 💯 truth.
This is why, when someone says they have converted, we welcome them and WATCH. They will need direction and discipleship and time will reveal their conversion as genuine or not.
Why not watch before you welcome?
@@stevendouglas3781 What? How?
💯💯💯
@@stevendouglas3781 Romans 14. How can we help direct and disciple someone if we don’t welcome them?
Kanye was shot up the ranks and even directed his own worship group. The man put himself in a leadership possition out of nowhere and all my alarms and bells went off. When someone converts, especially high profile people, the correct thing to do is to be humble and seek in privacy, seek guidance and read the word. Converting with the expectation of bringing all your worldly clout along with you leads to what happened to Kanye.
The bottom line is, Ye needs to stop straddling the line of serving Jesus or Satan and give his life totally to Jesus because you need a savior from your sins.
Agreed… he wants best of both worlds. You cant serve two masters.
Well said! People like this always feel that "Jesus doesn't show up."
EVERY single human being straddles this line whether we admit it or not. Duality rules this world, good and evil exists inside all of us.
@@saturnFIV3 which is why we need a savior, because the Bible tells us about our hearts, it's deceitful above all things and desperately wicked, who can know it but God. We were born into sin, but because of Jesus, we don't have to stay that way. Here's the kicker, we have to choose Him, he doesn't force us like Satan does.
@@1776rewind we certainly can't do it alone. Jesus was one of the best to ever do it (live life). But I try not to get wrapped up in, who is on "team good" vs "team evil". I see this in the gospels, the pharisees constantly point out when people are breaking Mosiac law right, and Jesus' keeps pointing out, who are they to judge others?
Great video, one of the best I’ve ever seen! And I’ve watched a lot of videos.
Brandon, excellent job explaining your assertions. I enjoy being able to understand you. Thanks. God Bless
"what we think that we need" - greatly said! It amazes me how people in general, keep on missing this simple truth: often, what we want is NOT what we need. God is so loving, he teaches us a lesson by giving us what we want to prove his point, not to make us happy. Addiction is when we never confess that He was right and instead keep on leaning towards that addiction.
Also, thank you for this channel and for your effort, sir.
I think that you totally hit the nail on the head with your last point. And sadly, much of what you say applies to many of us. It describes how many of us are so immature in our relationship.
PS. "Jesus never promises to help us build our kingdom, but He invites us into His" is just beautiful.
Brilliant brother. Well said ❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for making this. It explains much.
10:33 Great video. Big fan of the channel, first time commenter. Only one small thing. I actually think that when we are told that "fear of the Lord is beginning of wisdom" that we're actually talking about wonder and awe more than anything else. Like the wonder and awe of seeing something miraculous or surprising, like if one day you opened the front door and there was the Grand Canyon or the Great Pyramid! In the scriptures the angels always say first, "be not afraid" and that's just a member of his host! When we think and pray, the majesty of God should be overwhelming...we should be transfixed, get chills, our hearts should filled to bursting, and our mind should reel. I hope this makes sense!
Great video. Been worried for Kanye for a while. I loved his Jesus is King album. Much love to you all
The two fears referenced are not contradictions, Kanye is taking them out of context.
Im further addressing the difference between 'we do not have a spirit of fear' (2 Timothy 1:7) and 'the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom' (Proverbs 9:10, Psalm 111:10). The first one is about overcoming fear and timidity, while the second is about having a healthy respect and reverence for God's power and authority.
Think of it like this: one is about being bold and courageous, while the other is about being in awe of God's majesty!
And let's not forget about Doubting Thomas! He's a great example of how it's not about not having doubts, but what you do with them. Thomas had doubts, but he brought them to Jesus and said, "My Lord and my God!" (John 20:28). He didn't let his doubts hold him back, he brought them to God and God set him free!
That's the key! If you hold onto your doubts, they can take you away from God. But if you bring your doubts to God, He will set you free! So, don't be afraid to bring your doubts, fears, and questions to God. He's big enough to handle them, and He'll meet you right where you are.
Remember, it's not about being perfect, it's about being honest and bringing your whole self to God.
❤️✝️
Kanye's story is also my story. I felt hurt by God and rebelled with sexual sin as well. I was on the brink of self destruction but kept hanging on to hope in the goodness of God. God never stopped pursuing me and led me back to a place of truth where I can follow Him and surrender my life to Him as he leads me to the greater depths of restoration. He loves us more than we can see or comprehend but we must trust Him and obey Him to reach our promised land not only in this life but in the life to come.
Great Video
Still grieving for his mum... Kim, his kids. I really feel for him. We still have a responsibility to pray for him. I pray that he truly gets to experience the love of the Father.
Thank you brother Brandon! You are blessed with wisdom! If we are not committed to GOD, how can we expect Him to react?! ❤
So good. That quote was 🔥 would love to get hold of the reference for it ?
If you pursue Christ in order to gain self in the world, you were lost from the get go. “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
Right on point 👌🔥 I like this channel.
A lot of things we want aren't good for us even though they seem good to our eyes, if God doesn't give you something you wanted, it isn't good for you or it isn't time yet. If given too early a blessing can be a curse, it can be our undoing.
Well said. It is when we Align our desires with Gods that the magic happens.
@5:32 amen. A wise man once said , “ many come to the Master’s table for what they can get off it, not for love of the Master.” That’s not a knock on Kanye but rather the shallow western Christianity that’s been cultivated.
Thanks for your videos bother
Thank you. I will meditate on what you said. I have been struggling with this same battle With feeling like God has tricked me or that he does not help me in my agony. But I stop long for hope that He’s my friend and will one day wipe away all my tears in death. But I have so much fear about when I die if there’s even anything to restore all I have loss on earth.
What's supposed to draw us to Jesus is who.he.is. When you begin to get glimpses of who Jesus IS and what he gave up for you and me your heart begins to melt. If we approach God with a transactional attitude we will be sorely disappointed because he doesn't operate the way the world does.
It kinda seems like Kanye maybe never got those glimpses of Jesus' character. I would say that you get out what you put in when it comes to your relationship with Christ. If you want to know him and let your walls down and put the effort into learning who he is at any cost, you'll find him and you won't be disappointed. If you have a surface level approach to Jesus and treat him like a genie instead of a holy yet loving God, then I think this is where you can end up.
Thanks for the great videos! Please keep making content that glorifies God and fosters a deeper understanding of who he is! We desperately need it!
I finally figured it out!! I've been watching your videos for sometime now and I love the content but I can't put my finger on what is "off" (I apologize, for I don't mean to offend). But I do have a question... what is the distinction between these terms and I'm interested in the responses and possible answers, but what is 1)wisdom 2)knowledge and 3)understanding?
Just curious on our perception and encounters with these.
Will keep all in prayers and have a blessed day!
Those words aren't the same for secular people either, so any dictionary would help you with that.
To illustrate, there's a famous phrase that goes: "Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad." You can be knowledgeable (say, about science, art, history, etc.) and still be bad at decision-making, have a dysfunctional moral compass, be immature, etc. That would be a person who has much knowledge, but not much wisdom. Understanding, on the other hand, is related to knowledge, but knowledge may or may not be superficial, while understanding is always profound. *I'm sure that there're a lot of people that know you but don't understand you.* Understanding requires knowledge, but knowledge doesn't require understanding. For example, I may know many scientific facts and may be able to perfectly recite the works of Shakespeare because I was forced to memorize them at school but that doesn't mean that I really understand whatever I'm saying.
Really good explanation of what is probably going on with Kayne.
Id love to sit down with this guy. Super enlightened. God bless.
God doesn’t make you free from suffering, He suffers with you.
13:07 so, then my walk with Him must be a comedy. 🤣
Thanks brother. Appreciate the content.
Kanye is still alive there is still hope for his soul. Thank you for making this video its encouraging to see the faithful not condem Kanye but want him in the arms of our Savior.
Good commentary and well said Brandon - prayers are to strengthen your relationship with GOD. To worship GOD and accept HIS will - ask for forgiveness and strength to withstand evil
*Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done; on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.*
PRAISE GOD....the spirit is using you.
As soon as I heard how he was bringing up how his prayer wasn't answered, I figured out part of the issue. He doesn't understand prayer.
If God doesn't grant the prayer, it's either because it's not something that's good for the person. Or He's asking the person to wait patiently. If what you're asking for truly is worth it, you should be willing to wait for it. At the same time, you need to reflect and ask yourself if what you're praying for is truly good. But keep in mind, even if you come to the conclusion that it is good, He can have a good reason for not granting it in the grand scheme of things. Plus, it truly is a test. Who or what do you love more? That thing you're asking for or God?
Great video brother.
Beautiful quote brother, thanks for that.
God bless you and your work sir 💙 respect from Croatia-Europe 😇😇😇
Man his handlers did a NUMBER on him, huh?
Yup
God bless you and your ministry dear brother in Christ.
True there is lots to learn here.
Let’s continue to pray for Kanye and many like him to repent and to fully surrender to the LORD 🙏🏾
Prayer in the sense of petition, asking for things, is a small part of it; confession and penitence are its threshold, adoration its sanctuary, the presence and vision and enjoyment of God its bread and wine. In it God shows Himself to us. That He answers prayers is a corollary - not necessarily the most important one - from that revelation. What He does is learned from what He is.-CS Lewis-
“The only lives that truly matter are those who respect the lives of others“.
Departing from evil is the fear of the Lord according to the Bible. Nothing more than that. Period
We’ve all been prodigal sons/daughters at some point. Praise Jesus❤
Jesus always answers prayer, but sometimes His answer isn't what you want. Sometimes it's no or not yet. I've learned you have to remain patient. It's not on our time, but His.
4:03 “You can do more than pray after you have prayed, but you cannot do more than pray until you have prayed.” -S.D. Gordon
I think your analysis of West‘s failed relationship with his wife and subsequent disappointment in his half-hearted prayers to Jesus to show up and fix it, is spot on.
That's what happens, when someone only reads the Bible one time or even never. They start to think that " Christianity" is about them and their lifestyle.
Amen for the wisdom of the Holy Spirit from your words
Kanye will see how much he’s “The God of me” when he passes and meets his creator
Arrogance and pride is ugly on anyone.
I honestly didn't know anything about him. It's sad to think he had the experience he had.
He thought that his walk with God was going to be easy and at the first trials he dropped off the narrow path. The walk with God is not for the faint of heart. Just look at what happened to the apostles and many Christians now getting murdered for their faith. God has to strengthen us in the walk by testing us to see how much we believe and rely on him. God knows what he is doing with us and we have to let go and surrender.
Disappointment with God by Phillip Yancey is a book that came to mind watching this video. It's a great read for anyone interested.
Why do we pray? God knows what we need. He has the ability and the desire to fill that need. He wants prayer so that we can learn by working with him. Pay attention to what he gives and withholds.
He is still in the journey
Hello, thank you , This K.West is so contradictory with himself. The problem is people are listening to him.
what he said: God Bless you, Brandon
Ooph, this tyranny of self is the most difficult battle I’ve ever fought.
Most people will get this I hope, I love my dad and I know he loves me but as a child I also feared his punishments. He never abused me or anything, I just respected the consequences I knew he’d lay upon me if I did wrong. And I knew he would punish me if I did wrong even tho I know he didn’t enjoy having to do so. And so there was fear of the consequences I’d be held accountable to, but not of my father in general. And I think that’s how we should be towards God. Understand the bad that will come from his punishment but also understand that he loves you and doesn’t want to have to do that.
Yeah, “to fear” in the ancient language should stand just for “to react” or similar semantic nest. “Reacting to God, being not indifferent to him is the beginning of wisdom”.
And this is why 'I' is in the centre of both sin and pride.
“The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful.”
If Kanye pushed through his disappointment and trusted God, he would’ve seen that Gods “no” was the best thing for him. But he wanted God to serve him rather than the other way around.
He definitely needs prayer 🙏🏾. 🙏🏾 for him.
I've been saying for years that God is not an ATM. You don't put in a prayer and get out what you want. God is not an ATM, or a vending machine.
He may intellectually believe in Christ as the Savior, but he is a spiritual baby, as all new believers are. He needs discipleship from other, more mature Christians, and he needs Bible study so he can start to understand what it means to live as a genuine Christian. Pray for him.
You mentioned in the video that God doesn’t say that he will give us the desires of our heart or every desire, but that he’ll give us a new heart however, in Psalm 37 four it does say that delight yourself and the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. Can you speak to that?
Yes, I think that when a person delights in the LORD & is in true union with Him that their heart will desire good things that God is happy to give.
Let me get this straight...he tried to tell God what to do...and because he didn't get what he wanted, he decided to be the god of himself. What I heard coming from his mouth does not make him a Christian. I'm sorry for you Kanye...I pray you get well soon.
That’s exactly correct!
Jesus promised suffering to follow him. I have suffered so many things I almost walked away from Jesus. I couldn’t walk away. Faith and trust is all I had because who can help in hard times? Myself? My first 20 years proved all I will do is screw things up. I have lost friends, ex wife and others because of Jesus. I won’t turn from Jesus for anything. His love and peace make life bearable.
Kanye is more than generously equipped to change the world. He could confront how hip-hop culture destroys lives. How about what Kanye can do, if it’s all about action?
I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
(Galatians 2:20, ESV)
What many people don't understand, is that we must first die to self before we can enter God's kingdom. Kanye doesn't understand this, and probably never did.
Kanye reminds me of the rich young ruler who wanted to follow Christ but his love for is riches and wealth wouldn’t allow him. Jesus is not a genie who just gets you out of trouble
When someone has documented mental health diagnosis such as bi-polar it might just explain his erratic behavior. But it's really difficult to say if he is a false convert or just a Christian with a severe mental illness that has grandiose thinking. If Kanye's behavioral changes are the result of a mental illness expect more of the same until he decides to take medication to control it. Prayer is what he needs from everyone not condemnation. 🙏
Whatever
@@malato43 No hate like christian love🤔
Pray-act-Gods will be done🙏
One of my best friends recently (3-4years ago) left Christianity for agnosticism and nihilism. We're very open and have long dialogues about faith, purpose, etc. Does anyone know of any good books or fallacies I can share? He's very smart and versed in Biblical texts, so it needs to get deep in order for the message to 'pack a punch.' Thanks.
I dont have enough faith to be atheist, cold case christianity and the evidence that demands a verdict were the 1st books I read coming out of atheism and they helped a lot
Your story reminds me of the parable of Lazarus the rich man and the poor beggar.
@@thomaswashington2127 thanks I'll check them out.
Wait, agnosticism AND nihilism? Someone admitting to being a nihilist is a pretty rare thing to hear. I constantly hear Christians equate atheism with nihilism; maybe you consider agnosticism to be just as bad or with the potential for bad things?
A truly saved person would not have a false sense of what Jesus did in their heart....
If you are not fully committed to JESUS, HE will never show up! 😢😢I don't know if he was ever saved! 😢He need our prayers. ❤❤
I know nothing about KW's story but I wonder if he was plugged into a group after his conversion and had someone to be accountable to.
He’s in the exodus through Joshua stage Us humans live the same over and over and over again. These are human struggles. I think he’s a smart and wealthy dude in a really evil industry and that’s gotta be SO hard. He’s the only one talking out loud about Jesus even if he struggles sometimes. Kudos man. U know the devil trying hard to turn him away cuz of his reach
Maybe this is an example of the seed falling on rocky soil...
There's a danger when people are not discipled early on.
I don't mean this to be cruel, but he's always come off as a schizotypal personality that industry vultures profited on for as long as they could control him. Kind of like those homeless chess geniuses who are otherwise disfunctional.
Really disappointed 😢. His gospel albums were so beautiful and sincere. He said “I didn’t see Jesus show up “ . I get that life beats you down and you wonder where God is . But those are moments you cling to God the most . I just want him to come back to his true walk with the Lord
I felt our Lord left me hanging too. It was bad, bad, bad. Don't make the make the mistake of grumbling like me. You will regret it later 😅. All of God's moves are calculated. Don't stop praying, don't give up.
Thank you for sharing this!
