I was duped.
And Yes – the title is my own attempt at rap. (I have always hated that music)
When I first heard that Kanye West came out with an album called “Jesus is King” and read all of the hype that Kanye really did repent and was born again, I admit that I was very skeptical.
But then a well known pastor from Calvary Chapel made some statements that I admit, really affected and influenced my initial reaction. The pastor spoke about thinking back to when we were “baby” Christians and how we didn’t make good choices and how it was a process to continue to mature in Christ.
He spoke of looking at all of the lyrics to the songs on “Jesus is King” and how these songs were glorifying to God.
By that time, I was feeling like a hypocrite. I felt that my knee-jerk reaction to Kanye was very wrong. Was this a teaching moment from the Lord for me? I thought it might be. That is when I wrote the article about the angels singing because of Kanye’s conversion.
I did say that we would have to watch, wait and see; but that we should think the best of someone until we see a reason or reasons to doubt their verbal confession of faith in our Lord Jesus.
A friend who is also a writer tried over and over to help me to see that Kayne West was fooling the masses and had fooled me. He wasn’t angry with me – he simply wanted to show me that I had been deceived.
Yesterday I read my friend’s latest piece on Kanye and the Lord used it to open my eyes to the truth. I had been bamboozled by a man who just saw a “Come to Jesus” moment as another way to bring in millions of dollars.
I will be using the article in its entirety. I am grateful to the Lord for using my friend to open my eyes to Truth.

KANYE WEST PERFORMED WITH SATANIST TRAVIS SCOTT AT ASTROWORLD 2019 AS MARILYN MANSON SANG ‘ANTICHRIST SUPERSTAR’ AND BURNED THE BIBLE
Just eight days before Kanye West took the stage at Lakewood Church to perform his Sunday Service with false teacher Joel Osteen, Kanye was on the other side of Houston as one of the headliners at a hip-hop festival called Astroworld run by Travis Scott who is dating West’s sister-in-law Kylie Jenner. Travis Scott is a longtime and hardcore satanist, and his yearly Astroworld festival is filled with all sorts of bottom feeders from the pit of Hell. Think I exaggerate? Think again.
“Abstain from all appearance of evil.” 1 Thessalonians 5:22 (KJV)
Another one of the headliners of AstroWorld 2019 was Marilyn Manson, who needs no introduction, one of the most evil and reprobate performers in the music world ever. Among the many numbers performed by Manson, you might be interested to know that he sang one of his hits called ‘Antichrist Superstar’ as he burned a Bible in front of cheering and frenzied fans. This is the very same AstroWorld show that Kanye West lent his name to and performed at. Still think that Kanye West is a “baby Christian”? He’s not, he’s a stone cold deceiver.
The AstroWorld Festival was created by Travis Scott, baby daddy to Kylie Jenner and soon the be brother-in-law-to Kanye West, and this is the second year in a row for its production. AstroWorld feature an unbelievable assortment of the dirtiest, filthiest and openly satanic hip-hop music you could possibly imagine. Yet Kanye West hasn’t spoken a word against it, and was one of the main performers at this year’s show. What are we to make of that? Is this the type of music a born again Christian could make? No, no, a thousand times no as DL Moody used to say. A true born again Christian wouldn’t even attend a show like this much less be one of the main acts. If you want to see how much of a satanist that Kanye’s future brother-in-law is, take a look at this, but pray first because it’s nasty.
Why do you think that so much of the music in Kanye West’s Sunday Service is so dark and gothic sounding? He performed on the stage at Lakewood church for 2 hours on Sunday night and they were all dressed in black and other dark colors on a very dim stage. Why? Take a look at this video you will know why.
Kanye West Used The All-Seeing Eye Of Horus Stage Set At Lakewood Church
So Kanye West brought his travelling Sunday Service road show to Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church on Sunday night, and by all accounts it was a rousing success. But not in any of the accounts I have come across thus far make any mention of the odd styling of the stage set used. From ground level it appears to be a well-lit and professionally choreographed stage set, but when the camera shows us the birds-eye view, we see a completely different story. What do we see? The all-seeing Eye of Horus that is so beloved by the Hollywood Illuminati, smack dab in the middle of the Jesus Is King Sunday Service. Hmm, I wonder how that happened? 🤔
I will say it again, once more and louder for all you lukewarm Laodiceans out there. Kanye West perform at a hip-hop show run by satanists where Marilyn Manson sang ‘Antichrist Superstar’ as he burned the Bible onstage. And Kanye did that a mere 8 days before bragging about his “christianity” with Joel Osteen. Watch these two videos about Travis Scott and his Astroworld Festival, and if after all this you still think that Kanye West is saved, maybe you’re not.
Travis Scott: The Forbes Interview
AstroWorld 2019 Highlights
This is AstroWorld 2019 as created by satanist Travis Scott, watch this at your own risk. It is filled with profanity-laced language, and loud, evil sounding satanic music. If you start watching at 1:33:35 you will see Travis Scott introducing his future brother-in-law Kanye West, and the filthy language doesn’t stop. Watch as Kanye West leads the crowd in singing along with the evil, filthy lyrics. The frenzied crowd shouts “Yeezy!, Yeezy!” as Kanye receives their worship. AstroWorld is the real Sunday Service that deceiver Kanye West is selling.
Okay brethren, have you seen enough to convince you that not only was Kanye West NOT born again – but from all appearances in what he has been doing and saying and rapping; he is serving the devil BIG TIME.
I know that Geoff said that those who were believing Kanye, were Laodiceans and not born again. I know that I am a blood washed, born again believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. But what happened here is a good lesson for all true brothers and sisters in Christ.
The lesson I learned is first of all to listen to the Holy Spirit within me – HE told me from the start that Kanye was a fake.
But I was temporarily deceived by the evil one. The devil can use any of us – just like he did here:
“From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day. Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee. But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men” (Matthew 16:21-23).
So Satan used even Peter and the Lord Jesus had to rebuke and cast Satan away from Peter.
Thank you Lord for using my friend to open my eyes to TRUTH!
Of course we should pray that Kanye comes to the truth. Right now I am not very optimistic about this – but God can certainly do anything He wants to do.
Shalom b’Yeshua
MARANATHA!!
Wow!
What a disappointment to see this but continue to pray. :*(
YES – continue to pray. God can use all of this to finally get Kanye’s attention and truly be born again!!
Our God can and will save those who answer His call.:)

Reblogged this on El Noticiero de Alvarez Galloso.
Excellent article Geri! I keep coming back to Mat 24:4…the very first sign or warning Jesus gave His disciples about end times was, “ Take need that no one deceived you.” Did Jesus know or what!!!!! Everywhere we turn these days, from emails, TV, news, texts, online, advertising, you name it, it is all deception!
My friend and I have been discussing this, and yesterday while driving a whole Christian talk show was basically saying, “ Don’t judge and give this man a chance!”
These last days are not easy!! Mmmm…we are between a rock and a hard place!! 🙂 our rock is Jesus, the hard place is earth!
You are so right! Listen to that still small voice. He does lead us into all truth!
This deception is about the biggest yet, which means we are that much closer to hearing the shout!! Glory to God!
I woke the other morning and my whole being was filled with the words from the old hymn Holy, Holy, Holy! I was surprised I remember all the words! I did look it up and sang with the video.
We are called to be Holy, because He is Holy! Amen! Again, that is a word few want to hear or understand. It sure separates us from the world doesn’t it!!
Blessings to you and all followers of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen, sweet sister in Yeshua! AMEN!!
Now this is bad fruit!!

Looks like someone took this down
Geri, I didn’t have a doubt in my heart when I heard this nonsense. The “pastor” that “mentored” him should be ashamed of himself. You do not fly half way across the US weekly in a private jet at the behest of a super rich faker! He has “mental” issues and this is just another deluded fantasy for him, it will wear off, and according to your article, looks like it never took root anyway. He is the definition of “anti-christ” in these last days. Jesus warned us about such people and we MUST be on our guard sister. Great article!
Amen, Dawn. We should still pray for him. But we should also pray for those who have been deceived by him.
No matter what the truth is about Kanye’s salvation(for me the jury is still out), the testimony of Geoffrey Grider can not be trusted as evidence for anyone being or not being a true Christian. So using Geoffrey Grider’s article as proof that Kanye is not a true Christian is like believing the pot when it calls the kettle black.
Because Geoffrey has denied the faith himself by openly admitting that he believes rcc fundamental doctrines taught by the pagan Gnostic Augustine for the foundation of his beliefs. This makes Geoffrey a wolf in sheep’s clothing. An unbeliever posing as a believer. So Geoffrey is hardly one to believe when he says that someone else is not a real Christian.
I am still in wait and see mode, as you say you were with Kanye, regardless of his seemingly less than Christian associations. But, with his adversaries being people like Geoffrey Grider it works more as a plus that Kanye may indeed be a real Christian, than a minus. For these reasons Geoffrey’s article can not be considered as proof to the contrary.
Kanye appears to be a novice and should be treated as such as Paul instructed until he proves himself to be otherwise.
Even so… maranatha!!!
This article has really disturbed me. Why is it that we give so much weight to a “celebrity” who “supposedly” gets saved and we just gloss over the millions that are in true conversion? I, for one, am so tired of the whole celebrity scene. These are people that are hypocrites for a living and do it long enough, they themselves don’t even know what is real and what is fake. They change their entire lives to get glory and fame. Now, I read Proverbs every day and have for years, and the book of Wisdom has a lot to say about people who seek their “own” glory, their “own” idea of what is right. Are we still, knowing all that we know, seeing all that we see, are we still in a place “spiritually” where we are so immature in the word of God that we can still debate whether or not a certain “famous” person has truly given their lives to Jesus as Lord? Let us consider the admonitions of the Apostle Paul and the greatest Apostle of them all, the Lord Jesus Christ Himself…DO NOT BE DECIEVED!! Test the spirits, walk in truth, READ THE BIBLE! As believers, we are falling into the trap that Satan has set for the non-believing world! I apologize for my tone, but this has to stop. Also consider where he chose to “debut” his album live…JOEL OSTEEN, who all he knows of the word is that it is a book he lifts up and chants by at the beginning of every broadcast (and make no mistake, these ARE broadcasts, not services). He himself was glossy-eyed looking at Kanye West!!! This must stop brethren, we must concentrate on the ones that when they truly accept Christ, the bible says that ALL OF HEAVEN REJOICES! May the Lord help, guide, and protect us all in these turbulent times.
Thank you Geri for revealing the truth. His appearance on Joel Osteen’s show was very telling. Keep up the good work.
We’ll see. Maybe he is seeking the Lord and badly misguided. It is not our place to say who is saved and who is unsaved. That is the Lord’s prerogative as Judge. He could very well be a baby Christian. I’m really am not sure if he’s genuine or not at this point. He could be seeking or he could be manipulating in deception. His handlers have him on the WRONG path for sure.
As always I’ll use the Word to guide me.
<strong? "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them. Matthew 7:15-20
We shall know them by their fruits. Lets see what time will bring. I hope for his sake he is not intentionally being deceptive.. But, man, there isn’t any fruit yet. So sure be apprehensive!
Don’t feel duped. You gave the benefit of doubt. And if he repents you/me/we’ll do it again. 70 times 70!
Shalom,
Brian
