Kanye West?

1 Thessalonians 1 (KJV 1900) — 1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. 2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; 3 Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. 5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake. 6 And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost: 7 So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia. 8 For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing. 9 For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God; 10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
Kanye West has been in the news a lot lately.... I admit that I never would have thought I would have heard his name and Jesus in the same sentence....I say that not really knowing anything about him except what I've heard in the news about his family in years gone by....but I see these posts where he has had a Christian conversion.....I see where he has written a new album about Jesus....I see where he is holding Church services where 10,000 plus are gathering and many coming to Christ....I see where he is holding services in Prisons.....I'm not going to hold against him that he went to Joel Osteens Church because maybe the Gospel finally even got preached there [Joel doesn't believe in hell, so I really don't know why people even bother going to his "church"]... I don't know as I didn't see the service.....One thing we know for certain....God can use willing vessels for His service....and we need people to be willing to do His service.....But the verses above teach us that the Gospel isn't anything new....in other words, Joel Osteen or Kanye West didn't make the Gospel....the Gospel made them, if indeed they truly are in Christ.....The Bible says the Gospel came, not just in words, but in Power, in the Holy Ghost and much assurance.....The Church is alive because of Jesus Christ....I listened to Franklin Graham this morning on TV talking about Kanye and how exciting it is to see someone with so much talent and influence trying to lead others to Christ..... I certainly echo that sentiment....but for those who think that he is doing this just to sell records, I would say that that is also a possibility....I also have an answer for those people: time will tell.....I pray that his conversion is real and that his ministry is really for Christ and that God uses him for a great revival in our country! Because we definitely need it! I also pray that he gets good Biblical counsel from true Bible teaching ministries.... not from the name it claim it prosperity false gospel camp which would destroy his ministry in a matter of weeks..... We should join together to pray for Kanye and all those who are trying to help him in his vision to reach others for Jesus Christ.....If he truly is in Christ and striving to do Gods work....one thing for certain....the world will turn on him....Hollywood hates the real Jesus....Kanye will need our prayers and support.....I hope that you all have a blessed day in the Lord and do pray for all who are striving to make a difference for Jesus in this world
