Do Not Be Afraid…Jesus Has All Authority

by GOD TV December 20, 2022

written by GOD TV

Do not be afraid, I have good news! Jesus has all authority! That’s a powerful statement that He has all authority. Today, we are in Luke 20:1-8, where the Pharisees come and question Jesus. And I just want to read one verse to you. In verse 2, the Pharisees come to Him and they say this, “Tell us by what authority are you doing these things? Who gave you this authority?” They question Jesus’ authority.

These Pharisees were the scholars, they were the smart guys. And then Jesus shows up on the scene and flips the script and says, “The Kingdom of God is near,” and they’re looking for a warring king. And He comes as a servant, washing people’s feet. And it was blowing their boxes of what they thought the Messiah would be. And so they’re questioning His authority.

But I have good news! Jesus has all authority. And so when we come into agreement with that truth, that Jesus carries all the authority, like in John 14:6 He says, “I am the way, the truth and the life.” When we believe that, when we know that He has absolute authority in our lives, and we live that way according to the word of God, that He is the way out of things that we’re stuck in. He is the way into the promises. He is the way into your calling. He is the way into freedom and healing and breakthrough. That He is the truth that sets us free, because He has all authority.

He doesn’t just have some. He doesn’t just have some for me, but none for you. He has all authority. He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. We say that, and it’s a good phrase and it sounds powerful, but have you thought about what that means? Of all the kings in the earth, He is THE King of all the kings. Of all the things that people call “lord,” He’s the Lord of all the lords. He’s number one, He’s the top dog, however you want to put it. He has all authority.

And so when you come to Him, He can help. And I want to encourage you with that today in this Christmas season. You might be going through some things. You know, it’s an exciting time of the year, but sometimes it can be sad, sometimes it can be discouraging, because things haven’t happened and we’re at the end of another year. It can be sad because it’s your first Christmas or your 50th Christmas without a loved one. There’s lots of things, but He has all authority and He can bring you into hope and joy and peace and love, because He has ALL authority.

So I just pray that you would seek Him in this season. I pray that you would spend time in the Word (He is the Word), getting to know Him and being encouraged by Him as He speaks to you through the Word of God. I bless you with encounters with Jesus, and that as you surrender where you felt like you had to do it all, that you would hand it over and allow Him to be the biggest authority in your life. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

We are so blessed by our partners around the world who faithfully give to GOD TV. It humbles us when we receive donations from around the world, from people who’ve been blessed by the ministry of GOD TV. You know, we are called to preach the gospel to all the nations of the earth, and we cannot do this without you. So I want to invite you today to give generously to GOD TV so that we can continue airing the gospel of Jesus to the nations of the earth.

A Healthy Fear Of The Lord

by GOD TV October 18, 2022

written by GOD TV

Psalm 147:11, “The LORD delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love.” I don’t know about you, but growing up when I would hear “fear of the Lord”, it was like, I didn’t get it to be honest. Like I thought we’re no longer slaves to fear. Why are we fearing this? But, I’ve actually learned that fear can mean different things.

And one of the ways that I learned is that my husband is actually a zoologist, so we have wild animals. And so one of them being really humungous snakes and things like that. Right? And I would hear him say to children, when we would go to schools and show them and teach them about animals, that it was actually okay to have a healthy fear. Even though I’m here showing you the animals and telling you, “Hey, you can touch this one, or you can look at this one, or you can take a picture of this one. It’s still very good to have a healthy fear.”

Well, how can you say that to a kid that’s falling in love with this awesome wild animal, but also telling them that they should have a healthy fear? But that’s because fear can also mean to respectfully acknowledge something, right? And so what are you respectfully acknowledging? That’s the difference, right? And so are we respectfully acknowledging our God and how big and amazing and divine He is and who He is in our life, even though He is our Daddy. And even though He is our best friend and all of those things, but we also acknowledge that He’s Dad, it’s like being a son or a daughter of a King. It’s like, yeah, He’s my Dad, but he’s also King. So just know that.

So the same thing; you don’t want to give that respect and acknowledgement to the things that are not God, to the things that are demanding of you, for you to fear. So yes, you are no longer slaves of your own fears, the things that you are giving respect and acknowledgment to that you shouldn’t be; like anxiety, or poverty, or just loneliness, all those things. If you’re giving it all of that attention, then yes, now you are slave to that fear. But, “The LORD delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in His unfailing love.” Now, if you put your respect and acknowledgement in the Lord, that delights His heart, because He’s like, “Oh, my child knows how big and strong I am.” And He covers you and He takes care of you. So that’s why this verse makes sense now to me and hopefully now to you.

So God, I just pray that the beautiful, good fear of the Lord is upon them. So that way they can no longer be slaves of the fears of this world. And I pray that you strengthen them and give them hope in Jesus’ Mighty Name. Amen.

According to the report in PJ Media, the Sunday Service album was “an idea we had to open up our hearts to make music that we felt was as pure and as positive as possible and just do it for an hour every Sunday, and have something where people can just come together and feel good with their families. The Service features gospel-inspired remixes of classic songs of different genres, and also straight forward, choir-led gospel tunes. The mix of hip hop and spirituality has drawn great crowds and continues to inspire globally.”

Worship Gatherings By Kanye West In 2019

Kanye West has been initiating large worship gatherings this year. He visited local jails with his Sunday Service choir and shared the love of God with the inmates.

Kanye West’s Gospel album “Jesus Is King” tops the US Billboard chart on its debut week.

The Billboard 200 Top 1

The success of “Jesus Is King” marks the ninth consecutive album Kanye has had debut at the top of The Billboard 200. The Christian rapper is now tied with Eminem for the “most consecutive No. 1’s on the Billboard 200 charts”.

With over 100,000 copies sold during the album’s first week, “Jesus Is King” is now Kanye’s new record. All the tracks on the album also made it the Billboard Hot 100. Additionally, the single “Follow God” landed in the top ten.

“God is showing out”

Kanye celebrated the success of the album at his Sunday Service last Friday in Baton Rouge, Louisana.

“Number one in the country right now, number one in the world right now, Jesus is King,” Kanye said to the crowd.

Kanye also topped The Billboard Artist 100 and is giving credit to Jesus for the success of his album.

“Number one song, number one album and they told me I would (censored) if I gave my life to Christ but God is showing out,” he declared. “Who’s number one? Jesus is number one!”

“Jesus Is King”

The success of “Jesus Is King” has greatly impacted the world and there is data to prove it!

“Kanye West’s album has had an immediate effect on the current news cycle. ‘Jesus is King’ was a trending internet search last week with over 1 million queries on Google alone,” Dr. John Farquhar Plake, Director of Ministry Intelligence at American Bible Society, said.

The American Bible Society is also joining in the revival that is happening. They committed to providing a Bible to any of Kanye’s fans who want to read the Word of God.

“Coincidentally, something we’re seeing as a rising trend is that most Americans turn to Google as a de facto spiritual guide. Our goal with this campaign is to give Americans – and, yes, Kanye fans – the opportunity to look for answers to their most pertinent questions at the source.”

James Corden Says He ‘Feels Closer To God’ During ‘The Late Late Show’ With Kanye West

by Rhoda Gayle October 30, 2019

written by Rhoda Gayle

James Corden says he is “starting to feel closer to God” during an interview with Kanye West on “The Late Late Show.”

James Corden

The Late Late Show, hosted by James Corden, is an American late-night television talk and comedy show on CBS. Recently, James had Kanye and more than 100 members of the Sunday Service Choir on his “Airpool Karaoke,” an airplane version of the “Carpool Karaoke.”

When James asked Kanye about the last line of “Jesus Walks,” Kanye shared his pain and suffering.

The last line of the song Jesus Walks says, “I need to talk to God but I’m afraid coz it’s been so long”

“God always had a plan for me and He always wanted to use me. But I think He wanted me to suffer more and wanted people to see my suffering and see my pain and put stigmas on and had me go through all the experiences, human experiences. So now when I talk about how Jesus saved me, more people can relate to that experience,” Kanye answered.

God’s perfect plan

Kanye also shared how his family has been praying for him for all these years. Finally, this time God came and Kanye said yes.

“It’s God that came and put this thing on my heart and said, ‘Are you ready to be of service to God?’”

The “Jesus Is King” artist also emphasized that it is only God’s plan that is perfect.

“It’s such a blasphemous statement to think that as a man you could perfect anything. God is the only thing that’s perfect. So the only thing that can be perfect is God’s plan,” he added.

“I am starting to feel closer to God”

After singing some Gospel songs and songs from the “Jesus Is King” album, James made a statement that amazed everybody!

“I don’t know if it’s the plane or the altitude, or just cause we’re in the sky, I am starting to feel closer to God, I’ll be honest,” James said.

It is evident that God is revealing Himself through Kanye West’s life.

“He’s showing out! Now I get to work for God and He about to show out! Kanye West works for God!”

When James asked about how Kanye spends his night, he said that he is reading the Bible.

“I don’t like going out during night time, I like being at home with my family at night as much as possible” Kanye said. “I read the bible.”

Let us pray Kanye’s testimony would spark a hunger for God in heart of people across the globe. Let’s see revival spread like wild fire in the media industry!

Kanye West Makes A Bold Statement Against Porn And Premarital Sex

by GOD TV October 29, 2019

written by GOD TV

Kanye West made a bold decision to express his views against porn and premarital sex.

Bold Comments

The former controversial rapper who was famous for his vulgar and blasphemous music is making headlines for his radical transformation. After releasing his first album as a Christian, Kanye surprised everyone with his bold statements that express his opposition towards porn and premarital sex.

Premarital sex

Those who collaorated on the new album, “Jesus Is King”, were asked not to have premarital sex.

“There were times where I was asking people not to have premarital sex while they were working on the album,” Kanye said in an interview. “When people pray together and fast together, power is increased.”

“Spread the Gospel”

The award-winning artist has a mission to “spread the Gospel” through his platform in the music industry.

“Now that I’m in service to Christ, my job is to spread the gospel, to let people know what Jesus has done for me,” said Kanye. “I’ve spread a lot of things. There was a time I was letting you know what high fashion had done for me. Also, I was letting you know what the Hennessey had done for me, but now I’m letting you know what Jesus has done for me. And in that, I’m no longer a slave, I’m a son now, a son of God. I’m free.”

Pornography

The 42-year-old, now Christian, also expressed his opposition against pornography. Subsequently, he explained how it affected his life.

“My dad had a Playboy left out at age five and it’s affected almost every choice I made for the rest of my life from age five to now, having to kick the habit. It just presents itself in the open like it’s okay. I stand up and say, ‘You know, it’s not okay.’”

“I fear and love God”

Kanye is not worried about his career being ruined. Listen, as he shares this powerful response to a recent interview question!

“Man, I fear and love God,” West responded in an interview. “When you remove the fear and love of God, you create the fear and love of everything else.”

The media often portrays that promiscuity is a normal thing. However, Kanye by expressing his opposition to porn and premarital sex is helping shift away from the norm. Consequently, his testimony may stir up revival in the music industry!
