How Kanye West’s Religious Lyrics Led To ‘Jesus Is King’ | Genius News
Over his career, Kanye West has never been shy about his Christian beliefs, especially with his breakthrough 2004 single, “Jesus Walks.” However his new album, ‘Jesus Is King,’ is a whole new step toward sharing his personal beliefs with his fans and on-lookers as he pulled together the Sunday Service series over the last year, re-working gospel hymns and pop songs from himself and others like Ginuwine, The Clark Sisters and Mariah Carey into spiritual and secular hybrids.
So, Genius News took a look back at Kanye’s history of mixing his religion with his rhymes and found some interesting themes.

Which words and policies of Donald Trump have been racist? I always hear that in the MSM, but nobody sites actual examples, or any that hold up to close examination, at least.
He was going to mega churches that only preach wealth. Osteen turned people away when they were looking for shelter from the hurricane. I hope that Kanye is sincere and not doing this for monetary gain.
21 Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of the heavens, but only the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will. 22 Many will say to me in that day: ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them: ‘I never knew you! Get away from me, you workers of lawlessness!’
Why didn't you the presenter tell the vidwers that you can't buy your way into heaven or buy the HOLY spirit in the book of act someone tried that and was rebuked your money perish with you this is blasphomy at 2 mins 45 seconds you all following this mk ultra mind controlled blasphemer n pay him respects we will see what God really thinks real soon
Every person has the choice to follow Jesus. Jesus is the son of God. You know that he is waiting for you. I just got baptized today and dang the wind was blowin hard. The Holy Spirit was there and it was a testimony. Good luck to all to who don't believe yet. God bless.
Kanye is a hypocrite. he doesn't know the bible. JESUS says about liars like kanye Matthew 23:28-29,33 [28]Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. [29]Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, [33]Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
kanye is a FRIEND of the WORLD. they love him. The true God of the bible says otherwise. James 4:4-5 [4]Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. [5]Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
THIS SEGMENT PROVES KANYE IS A WICKED BLASPHEMER GOING TO HELL! HES TWAVHUNG2 A FALSE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO GALATIANS CHAPTER ONE. HE CALLS HIMSELF SON OF THE MORNING. IN ISAIAH 14:12, son of the MORNING is Lucifer! ( king James version. HE CLEARLY NEVER PREACHES ABOUT CHRIST LIFE, DEATH, BURIAL & resurrection. the focus is on him. Hes not saved & I'll rebuke him with the bible.
Mr. West, the way of my Lord Jesus Christ is never not about entertainment , rich man. We believers. Go through the same pane as my Lord Jesus Christ. Are you willing to give up all you got and live as the way of my Lord Christ Jesus ? Preach of the Word. Of GOD.
And you notice the colors he wear Satan have colors because he live in darkness he is Darkness you notice he always wear a lot of black and red and dark colors that's what's Satan's like God is light he's not darkness and he is the light of the world Amen
I can’t believe that people really thought kanye of all people would do this non whole heartedly and for traction. Kanye has always been in public eye because he always speaks too honestly and doesn’t have a filter. But any one who’s heard Kanye’s music should know that god has always been a topic, not just now.
there was so much to unpack i finished this video in like 30-40 mins from pausing and researching
Oloff's new track sums up this Kanye situation very well
in Messenger of God, Oloff talks about Kanye being a false prophet and associating with Satan
Kanye should listen to Messenger of God by Oloff
Kanye is the GOAT
Oloff – Messenger of God
Kanye should respond to Messenger of God by Oloff
Oloff talks about Kanye being a false prophet in Messenger of God and he is right
Rolling Stones: Who IS SHI?
I PRAY
U CAN TAKE JESUS CHRIST SPOT
THINK MORE THAN TWICE
JESUS CHRIST IS KING

Kanye West isn't saved. Pastor Steven Anderson's documentary called antichrist Kanye West is good.
https://youtu.be/utHfN4yoeOc he's a deceiver and he almost got me to believe he was a true follower of Christ
The new face of the devil
What if kanye is jesus.
Okay but Trump does not have racist rhetoric and policies. Careful with the bias, Genius.
8:37 blasphemy
Along with scripture a nickname, and an album, Ye takes on a whole nother meaning when you hear slave name
but, will kanye make more explicit music like he does after jesus is king?
He is the biggest Satan worshiper and he’s preparing for the antichrist false Messiah
Kanye worships the "God of this World"
Matthew 7 : 21-23
21 Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of the heavens, but only the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will. 22 Many will say to me in that day: ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them: ‘I never knew you! Get away from me, you workers of lawlessness!’
“The media said he’s way outta control”
So does this nigga still cuss and shit like that?
