Does the Illuminati Hide Messages in Music?

The theory that the Illuminati secretly embeds messages in music has been around for decades, capturing the imaginations of conspiracy enthusiasts. According to believers, artists—especially in hip-hop, pop, and rock—allegedly insert subliminal messages, occult symbols, and coded lyrics into their songs, album covers, and music videos to promote the agenda of a secret society that seeks to control the world.

---

Common Themes in the Conspiracy

🔹 Subliminal Messages & Backmasking

Some claim that hidden meanings or backward-masked messages (backmasking) in lyrics are designed to brainwash listeners or promote Illuminati ideals.

Example: The Beatles' Revolution 9 was accused of hiding the phrase “turn me on, dead man” when played backward, fueling theories about Paul McCartney’s supposed death. Similarly, Jay-Z’s Lucifer has been accused of containing hidden satanic messages when reversed.

🔹 Symbolism in Imagery

Imagery such as pyramids, all-seeing eyes, owls, and other occult symbols are often cited as proof of Illuminati influence in music videos, stage performances, and album artwork.

Example: Rihanna’s Umbrella video sparked controversy for its dark, gothic themes, while Beyoncé’s Super Bowl halftime show was scrutinized for her hand gestures and stage design, which some linked to Masonic or occult symbols.

🔹 Celebrity Involvement

High-profile artists like Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Kanye West, and Lady Gaga are frequently accused of being affiliated with the Illuminati due to their use of provocative imagery, cryptic lyrics, or hand gestures like the “Roc” diamond sign.

Example: Kanye West’s Power music video features elements resembling Masonic imagery, leading conspiracy theorists to claim he was either part of the Illuminati or rebelling against it.

🔹 Alleged Rituals & Sacrifices

Some conspiracy theorists go as far as claiming that artists "sell their souls" for fame, wealth, and success, with rumors of staged tragedies or ritualistic sacrifices as part of their initiation.

Example: The deaths of artists like Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, and XXXTentacion have been linked to Illuminati theories, with claims that they were eliminated for attempting to expose the truth.

---

Why Do People Believe These Theories?

🔹 The Power of Ambiguity

Many symbols and lyrics are intentionally ambiguous, allowing for multiple interpretations. This is a common artistic technique, not necessarily a sign of hidden messages.

Example: Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance features gothic and ritualistic elements, which some conspiracy theorists link to the Illuminati. However, Gaga herself has stated that much of her imagery is symbolic of fame, control, and the struggles of the music industry.

🔹 Pareidolia – Seeing Patterns That Aren’t There

Pareidolia is the human tendency to perceive patterns, faces, or messages in random data. This psychological phenomenon helps explain why people might "find" hidden messages that don’t actually exist.

Example: Some claim to see demonic faces in album artwork or hear secret messages in songs when played backward—often a result of pareidolia rather than actual intent.

🔹 The Internet’s Role in Spreading Theories

Social media and the internet have amplified the spread of these theories, creating echo chambers where misinformation thrives. YouTube videos, Reddit threads, and TikTok posts dissect music videos frame by frame, searching for hidden meanings—often reinforcing existing biases rather than uncovering real evidence.

Example: A viral YouTube video analyzing Billie Eilish’s All the Good Girls Go to Hell led to widespread speculation about satanic imagery, despite the artist explaining that the song is about climate change.

---

Debunking the Theory

While the idea of hidden Illuminati messages in music is intriguing, there is little evidence to support these claims. Here’s why:

✅ Artistic Expression – Many of the symbols associated with the Illuminati are simply artistic choices, metaphors for power, fame, or spirituality.

✅ Confirmation Bias – Conspiracy theorists often interpret vague lyrics or visuals to fit their pre-existing beliefs, creating connections where none exist.

✅ Lack of Evidence – There is no concrete proof that the Illuminati exists as a modern secret society, let alone that it controls the music industry.

✅ Marketing & Publicity – Some artists may intentionally use controversial imagery to generate buzz, knowing it will fuel speculation and keep their names in the headlines.

---

Final Thoughts

The belief that the Illuminati controls the music industry is more of a cultural myth than a proven reality. While some artists enjoy playing into the mystery, the lack of solid evidence suggests that what we’re really seeing is a mix of creative expression, marketing genius, and overanalyzed coincidences.

Whether you see it as a fun conspiracy or a serious hidden agenda, one thing is for sure—mystery sells, and the Illuminati theory isn’t going away anytime soon.

The Billion-Dollar Heist: Kenya’s Lost Fortune and the Silence That Followed

In the shadows of Kenya’s political history lies a tale of staggering corruption, a secret so explosive it could have rewritten the fate of a nation. A 110-page classified report, compiled by international risk consultants Kroll, painted a damning picture of a country looted from within—over £1 billion siphoned away during the 24-year rule of former President Daniel Arap Moi.

For decades, whispers of high-level graft had circulated, but the Kroll report, commissioned in 2004 by Moi’s successor, Mwai Kibaki, laid out the astonishing scale of the plunder in cold, hard facts. The document, which was never officially released, alleged that Moi and his associates had amassed a global empire of wealth—lavish properties in London, South Africa, and the United States, a 10,000-hectare ranch in Australia, hotels, offshore accounts, and a complex labyrinth of shell companies in tax havens like the Cayman Islands. The sheer audacity of the theft put Moi’s regime in the same league as some of the world’s most notorious kleptocracies, alongside Mobutu Sese Seko of Zaire, Sani Abacha of Nigeria, and Ferdinand Marcos of the Philippines.

But here’s where the story takes an even darker turn. Kibaki, who had ridden to power on a wave of anti-corruption promises, never acted on the damning findings. Instead, his government chose silence. The stolen billions remained untouched, hidden in vaults and investment portfolios across 28 countries. The report was buried, and so, too, was any hope of justice.

Then came the betrayal. By 2006, Kibaki’s government itself was engulfed in its own corruption scandal. The man tasked with exposing the rot, anti-corruption czar John Githongo, unearthed fraudulent government contracts worth millions, awarded to phantom companies. But rather than being celebrated, Githongo was branded an enemy of the state. Facing death threats, he fled the country, leaving behind a government that had now fully embraced the corruption it once condemned.

The consequences of this unchecked greed were devastating. Kenya, a country where the majority of citizens live on less than a dollar a day, continued to suffer under the weight of economic inequality. Development stalled, hospitals remained underfunded, and infrastructure crumbled. Meanwhile, the masterminds of the billion-dollar heist walked free, their fortunes growing untouched.

Then, in a twist of political irony, Kibaki and Moi struck a deal. As the 2007 presidential elections approached, the former adversaries became allies. Moi publicly endorsed Kibaki’s re-election bid, securing the support of his loyalists. Analysts were quick to read between the lines: this was a pact of mutual protection. Kibaki would receive political backing, and in return, Moi would remain untouchable, never to face prosecution for his regime’s financial crimes.

When the Kroll report finally leaked in 2007, the government scrambled to discredit it. Spokesman Alfred Mutua dismissed the allegations as “not credible” and based on hearsay. And when the Kenyan government claimed that the UK had refused to help recover the stolen wealth, the British Foreign Office swiftly denied the claim, revealing that no formal request for asset retrieval had ever been made. It was clear—Kenya’s leadership had no interest in reclaiming the nation’s lost billions.

Maina Kiai, chairman of the Kenya National Commission for Human Rights, summarized the disillusionment of a nation. “Moi-ism was simply grab, grab, grab, and don’t care about anyone else,” he said. “The question now is, has this government continued the same approach?”

The answer, tragically, was clear. Corruption had not ended—it had evolved. And in the corridors of power, the silence remained deafening.

Kenya’s stolen billions are more than just numbers in a forgotten report. They are the roads never built, the hospitals left understaffed, the futures stolen from generations of ordinary citizens. And as history has shown, when corruption goes unpunished, it does not disappear—it only grows bolder.

The heist of a century had been pulled off, and those responsible had won. The only question that remains is: for how long?

Satanic Illuminati: Kanye West Says He Sold His Soul To The Devil

Satanic Illuminati: Kanye West Says He Sold His Soul To The Devil

Oprah’s Religion

Oprah’s Religion

by John Bowen.

November 12, 2008

The name Eckhart Tolle is hardly a household name—at least, yet. Earlier this year, his book The New Earth, was chosen by Oprah Winfrey as the choice of her Book Club and has sold 3.5 million copies so far. (And to think I was excited that my Narnia book has sold almost 1,000!) He has appeared with Oprah several times and they have hosted webinars (online seminars) together when people phone and Skype in with their questions: over two million people have taken part in these courses so far, and 27 million have downloaded them afterwards! That’s why I say we had better get used to the name Eckhart Tolle.

 

So who is Tolle and what is he teaching? I have read most of his book, The New Earth. I have watched videos of him and of Oprah and of the two of them together. (Lots of them are on YouTube.) And I have read a cross-section of what people are saying about him and his teaching. The most helpful I found are a pastor and theologian called Greg Boyd, and a teacher from Tyndale Seminary in Toronto called Jim Beverley. Some of what I am going to say is based on what I learned from them.

First of all, there are things in this book that are very positive.

• Tolle talks about the importance if living in the present. If we are always planning and worrying for the future, or living in the past, we miss out on the good things that are happening right now—the smile of a child, a sunset, or the smell of a flower.

• Tolle reminds us that it’s no use trying to get our sense of self-worth from things or from money or from having influence over other people. It’s a waste of time, because it doesn’t work and it doesn’t last.

• And he reminds us that religion can damage our spiritual health. Instead of being a door into helping us to explore our spirituality, it can actually be a door slammed shut against our spirituality. Many of us have known the kind of churches he’s talking about. Nobody wants that kind of religion . . . and it certainly has nothing to do with Jesus.

I can’t say any of these are new ideas, but it’s helpful to be reminded of them.

But there are things I feel less positive about. For instance, what he says about:

• Religious beliefs

Tolle says he is against what he calls “belief systems”—“a set of thoughts that you regard as absolute truth.”(17). He thinks we should let go of “form, dogma, and rigid belief systems” (18) so we can be free to experience enlightenment. Sounds good, doesn’t it?

The problem, of course, is that on every page of his book he is setting out his beliefs, “a set of thoughts.” What’s more, he’s very dogmatic in his beliefs. For example, he tells you what Jesus really meant, which apparently nobody has understood for the past 2,000 years. And if you disagree, well, you’re wrong—or at least unenlightened. But Tolle never tells you how he knows the things he says: he just says them, gently and with a smile, but dogmatically and with great authority.

It’s ironical, isn’t it? Although he says he is against religions which think other religions are wrong, what is he offering in their place? A religion that thinks other religions are wrong. What is wrong with this picture?

Let’s look at some of his specific beliefs, beginning with the most crucial one of all:

God

Let me read you a very revealing part of this book:

It has been said that “God is love” but that is not absolutely correct. God is the One Life in and beyond the countless forms of life. Love implies duality: lover and beloved, subject and object.

That sounds innocent enough, to say “that is not absolutely correct.” But it’s actually very radical. When the Bible says God is love, it means there is a God who is separate from me, who is my creator, and who loves me and the whole world.

For Tolle, there is no “God” in that sense, no God who is separate from me. In a sense, everything is God, including human beings. In fact, he often refers to people as “I AM” (in capital letters), a name God calls himself in the Old Testament.

Now, the way you think about God is going to affect everything else you believe. That’s true for example about what Tolle believes about:

People

He takes the view that people exist just like waves on the sea. A wave is there for a short time, but then it goes back into the ocean and loses its identity. Human beings are the same: we exist for a time, but really we are a part of the ocean of universal consciousness, and that’s what we return to after death. That’s an ancient and respectable point-of-view. But it is diametrically different from Christianity.

Christians want to say, No, human beings are more than waves on the ocean. They are made in the image of God—not that we are God but that there is something amazing and wonderful and god-like about every one of us. And this fact that we are who we are—our personhood—is a precious gift from God.

And that’s why to say God is love is not nonsense: however much we lose ourselves in the love of God—in the same way you can lose yourself in a good conversation or a good game—we will always be us and God will always be God—even beyond death. C.S.Lewis asks his friend Bede Griffiths why God would bother to make us separate in the first place if God always meant us to lose our identity in him? (Letter, 27/09/49)

* Salvation

Tolle doesn’t so much talk about salvation so much as about enlightenment. Enlightenment means realizing that you are just a wave of the sea, that you are a part of universal consciousness. When you’re enlightened, you can then live in harmony with the universe, and that brings a kind of peace.

But this is not the same peace the Bible talks about. Being at peace with God, as Christians understand it, doesn’t mean that everything is one. No, it means that we can be friends with God our Creator because Jesus has dealt with our wrongdoing. It’s like the peace that comes after a war, when the peace treaty has been signed.

And then there’s Jesus:

* Jesus

Tolle quotes Jesus about a dozen times in this book, and (how can I put this nicely?) I would say every single time he twists what Jesus meant. How can I say that? Am I being dogmatic too? Yes!

I say it because he totally ignores the fact that Jesus was Jewish, that he lived and breathed the air of the Old Testament. For him, Jesus as a real person really isn’t that important: he’s just a guy who said some wise things that can mean whatever you want. So, for example, he quotes Jesus’ words, “The kingdom of God is in the midst of you.” (234) Let me read you the whole section:

When you hear of inner space, you may start seeking it, and, because you are seeking it as if you were looking for an object or an experience, you cannot find it. This is the dilemma of all those who are seeking spiritual realization or enlightenment. Hence, Jesus said, “The kingdom of God . . . is in the midst of you.”

But when Jesus says “the kingdom of God” there is no way he is thinking of “inner space” or “spiritual enlightenment.” He is a first-century Jew and what he meant by the Kingdom was what all first-century Jews meant by the kingdom—the community where people live in relationship with God and with one another and with the world around in accordance to the Creator’s laws—not what 21st century New Age Western teachers mean by it!

Conclusion

There’s lots more that could be said. But let me finish with this: Eckhart Tolle reminds us that people are deeply spiritual, and that they are seeking for some kind of spiritual reality beyond this world to make sense of their lives.

But Tolle also reminds Christians that we really haven’t done a very good job of representing Jesus to the world, and helping people discover true spiritual fulfillment as followers of Jesus.

As we come to the table this morning, and hold out our hands to receive the bread and the cup, it reminds us that we are not God, and that our destiny is not universal consciousness. It says to us that God is our Creator and our Lover, and that we are his creatures, his children, and his friends. It reminds us that he loved us enough to die for us. And that he invites us to live for him

Rappers Sell Their Soul To The Devil

Did Rappers Sell Their Soul To The Devil?Hello Everyone;

I was researching "The Truth Behind Hip Hop" - DVD, from
http://www.exministries.com

I watched the DVD. In the DVD, the speaker says that Satan made
Heavy Metal Music so that people would fully embrace him by this
music. But Satan wasn't happy because black people were not into heavy
metal and all the satanic rutuals that's envoled in it. So he had to come up with a music that would reach black folks and spread out to all cultures - black , white, hispanic, asian etc.

The speaker revealed some things that I will list below about hip hop
artists.

I double-checked everything he said to make sure it's all true.

I went to a website called http://www.azlyrics.com and did a search
to see what the rappers were really saying about the devil.

Here is the information I learned.


Detail #1: Tupac in his song "Good Life"
-----------------------------------------------------
Tupac says he sold his soul to the devil.

"I sold my soul for a chance to kick it and bang
Now tell if I'm wrong
but sayin " the world" got you deeper in my songs
Drinkin 'til I earl, spendin money 'til it's gone
It's the good life - maybe niggaz got it goin on"

"why I should change, into a softie
.. after living so loftily
It cost me my soul out of control in a devil's world"

Source: http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/2pac/goodlife.html

Detail #2: I researched DMX rap song lyrics.
----------------------------------------------------
DMX did a Song with MARILYN . On the cover of his CD, DMX is dripped in with the M of his name conspicuously over his head to make it appear like he has horns out of his head. Your average hip hop listener may have missed this thing with marilyn
manson. So I went to azlyric.com to check out the lyrics on DMX's albums. Here's what I found in 2 songs that DMX did.

A. FROM THE SONG "LET ME FLY".
In this song, DMX explains that he sold his soul to the devil
and exactly why he did it etc.

"I sold my soul to the devil, and the price was cheap. A yo it's cold on this level cause it's twice as deep. But you don't hear me, ignorance is blisning and so on Sometimes it's better to be taught dumb. Shall I go on. You don't want no real, what the deal is a mystery. How is it I can live and make history If you don't see it then it, wasn't ment for you to see
If you wasn't born wit' it then, it wasn't ment for you to be But you can't blame me for not wantin' to be hound lock down in a cell wit' a soul gettin' dwelled This is hell, go get the devil and get me the key but can't be worst than the curse that was given ta me It's what I live for, you take away that and I'm gone "

Source: http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/dmx/letmefly.html

B. FROM THE SONG "THE OMEN" That he did with Marilyn .

If you read the lyrics on www.azlyrics.com, you will
notice that There is a Duet Going on Between DMX and
another person. The person doing the duet with DMX is in the paragraphs below.
Let's see if you can figure out who that being is.

"(You, right here shorty, told you, I got you Like the way I scooped
you, when those fagget niggaz shot you? I'ma hold you down, and I
mean that, for real"

"But everytime you beef with a nigga, I end up havin' to kill"

"(Ain't like that, and hey, forget about them 2 kids
'Bout to do a deal, somethin' nice as you is)"


"Oh you think"

"(Nah, I'm just playin', what's up?
I got some new bitches, I know you tryin' to )"


"Not really "
"Here we go again"

"(After what I just gave you, with you actin' like that when you asked
for that favor)"

"Yo, I ain't ask you for "

"(Oh yes you did, when you really needed something, and you was out,
you did You sold me your soul, )"

That was a duet between DMX and Satan.
And marilyn was singing the words below in the chorus.

"Here we are on our way to hell
We're gonna do it, and we do it well
This is Marilyn , Dmx, Ruff Ryders
[repeats and distorts til end]"
Source: http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/dmx/theomen.html

That was supposed to be a duet with the devil. If it
was another rapper doing the part in parentheses , then it would have
said the rapper's name.

Detail #3: Color Me Bad

----------------------------
The Group "Color Me Bad" had a hit single, "I wanna you up". The
Ex-member Kevin, gave his life to christ and admitted that in the
studio the members of Color Me Bad, did a witches spell over the CD so
that they would have a hit record and that hundreds of thousands of
girls would lose their virginity to this song.
Source: "The Truth Behind Hip Hop" DVD http://www.exministries.com

Detail #4: Snoop Dog

--------------------------
In his autobiography "The Doggfather", Snoop Dogg says the devil came
to him to make a deal that he would be rich and famous in exchange for
his soul. Snoop accepted the devil's offer (by his own words) and identifies that the point at which Calvin Broadus dies Snoop Dog was born.

Detail #5: Bone Thugs and Harmony

-------------------------------------------
From the DVD, I learned, Bone Thugs and Harmony had a witchcraft curse at the back of their CD. It's written backwards so once a person recognizes that, they will naturally hold it up to a mirror and try to read it. The speaker on the DVD, researched it and discovered that the witches of salem, would send people a letter written backwards when they wanted to put a curse on someone. The person would hold it up to the mirror and read it backwards.

Detail #6: Ride or Die Music

---------------------------------
There's a lot of rap songs out there about 'Ride or Die'
At one of the Presentations made by G. Craig Lewis of www.exministries.com, a 15 year old boy came up to the altar and said he doesn't want to have anything to do with hip hop any more and he wants to give his life to Jesus Christ. He went and got his Sawed off Shot gun and gave it to G. Craig Lewis and said he doesn't know how many people he shot with it. The 15 year old said that normal teenagers cannot kill in cold like that. The way they would do it is to listen to Gangsta Rap music for about 20 minutes then they would get really angry to the point of insanity and then kill people.
Source: "the Truth behind hip hop" DVD

Closing Thoughts:

------------------
It turns out Satan was not happy that Heavy Metal was not reaching Black people. So he created that Hip Hop to reach 'brothers' and cross all kinds of ethnic & cultural barriers.
Hip Hop is not 'our' music. It is the devil's music. He wants the people in the club to recognize him and adore him. When people dance to his music and his artist, they are dancing to the
devil's beats, songs and ideals. Gangsta Rap pretty much started with Snoop Dogg who sold his soul to the devil and took off - now everybody is crazy about making hard gangsta beats like Dr. Dre. All the beats in hip hop have to be hard - just the way the devil wants it. You can't put out a album now unless it's gangsta

Gangsta beats put you in that frame of mind to do evil deeds such as, bumpin and grinding in the clubs, drinkin moet and crystal, and having with everyone that passes by. That's the devil's way.

Satan tried to make the same deal with Jesus Christ when Jesus was
tempted in the wilderness. The bible says

Matthew 4:8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high
mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
Matthew 4:9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Matthew 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it
is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve

Did Rappers Sell Their Soul To The Devil?U brainwashed puppy! Yeh, okay, let's not get it twisted - THERE IS NO SURPRISE THAT SECULAR ARTISTS R IN2 DEVILISH WAYS, for they are o the world meaning not of god so anything they do is obviously devilish. Now, there's no dispute upon the lyrics that you've gathered BUT where it goes wrong are his misquotes of scripture in the dvd, particularly of Satan's nature (ugly, homosexual etc) and of Pharoah and Egypt (God sent them a deliverer because he saw the 'bondage' not because pharoah was proclaiming 2 b god) and various other erroneous facts. His knowledge on 'the history' of hip-hop, its roots and oundations are also incorrect. Hip-hop was ounded by a reggae dj named Kool Herc who, before he imigrated to the states, was involved with a sub-genre of reggae called 'dub' which is basically where someone would get a popular song and 'dub' ie speak over the track with ryhmes. Now, before the Zulu Nation ever emerged, there was an african sub-culture around in the Sates, particularly in the urban areas such as the bronx etc. and when Kool Herc imigrated 2 America, his first revelation was that people wern't diggin his music simply becasue they were not farmiliar with the reggae beat. So what he did was take what the current 'popular' style of that time was, which was a pseudo jazz sound, and put his jamaican 'dub' over those tracks. This new, unheard of style became popular and, along with the invention of breaking, where dj's would break bak to a particular part of a song that people liked, became intertwined with black culture of that time, mainly what was goin on in the ghettos and inner cities. The arican culture has a distinct creative elemnt to it, so those who also did grafiti were also part of this culture as they were around these people and so these elements were and are what is now called the 'elements' of hip-hop.

Now, Afrika Bambata arose a little after Kool Herc, at the time where hip-hop was starting to make a mark in black culture, particularly within the black youths. Afrika was actually part of his own gang called the 'black spades'. his agenda was to go to Arika, to find an answer as to how blacks could ind a way to become a strong power within America and the World, so after coming out of Zulu he then ormed what we know as the Zulu nation. He saw hip-hop as a culture, which indeed it was, and knew by pushing his teachings from Zulu thru hip-hop, that his message would then be widespread thru the black communities. THAT my dear friend is how Satan planned his attack on not just the black community but all. It was already evident that all black genres such as blues, jazz etc were being picked up not only by blacks but also by whites and other cultures. The 'popular' sound of black music has always been prevelent. But hip-hop in particular, becasue of its nature and the way profound messages, just like in poetry, could be put across, was looked upon by the devil and this is when he seized the opportunity to steal his way into hip-hop and the culture.

Another point he rasies in the dvd, about Alicia Keys involvement in the 5% nation o God's on Earth - how is it that a mixed raced woman can have pure ancestral bloodline from the Egyptian Pharoahs? easy answer, she DOESN@T and has never stated she is or ever has been a part of them.

Also, he brings about a very profound remark about AFRICANS. I quote 'no one knows how to conjer up like them africans'. Now, if that isn't the most bold, racist, prejudice remark I've ever heard rom the pulpit I dont know hwat is. And what gets me more is - what does he consider himself? Witchcraft and conjuring has been prevelent in the our corners of the world and to make a remark like that is irst o all ignorant and secondly, EXTREMELY RACIST.

Another point i wish to bring up is his statement about the Devil's nature. Now, we all know that Lucifer was once the brightest angel in heaven, he had many functions in heaven aswell as worshipping in music. Now, first of all, when God banished him from heaven he did not say that his beauty, gift in music or anything else would be stripped away, only that he was now exempt rom the presence of the almighty ans sent to an eternal fate in hell. So where is GCL's statement about the devil being 'ugly' rom? This another bit of church jargon and tradition not backed up by scripture. The Devil is a deceiver and will come not as an 'ugly' 'horned' creature but AN ANGEL OF LIGHT! The Bible also does not clearly state the devil has any sexual orientation, only that he will not have the desire for a woman. Jesus also did not have the desire for a woman - do we call him homo-sexual? Now, that is not saying that the devil is not perverse, is behind evrything that goes against the nature of God etc but we have to be very careul about adding what is not clearly stated in the Bible and preaching it like its gospel. Sad thing is, most of you soak up anything that is preached because you are not suficiently equipped with the word of God.

he comments on the title chosen by the famous gospel rap group 'gospel gangstaz' but ailed to even state whether or not he had any kind of consultation with them or not. Anytime you publicly condemn a ministry you are stepping on hot water. First, before making such statements you gotta do what I call the background check. This means, either talk to them, find out what they are relly about, their mission statement, their liestyles, what they have done ministry wise etc. By doing what he did, he has caused damage to a ministry which has helped savce thousands of sould to Christ! If anything, the message in his dvd has a more anti-ministry message then anything else. Infact, the name of his organisation/ 'ministry', the fact that he has no clear link with any church, no background inormation is available on him and various other points lead me to beleive that there is sometghing not right about this.

Holy hip-hop in recent years has taken a strangle hold on Satan's grip in the music world, in bringing back many who were lost to the worldly culture, and the movement has become powerul and dominant. Infact, the messages in most chritian hip-hop is more profound and gives a stronger, non-compromising message then most other genres because hip-hop lends itsel that way. In the 2 world war. poetry was the biggest tool in speaking out against the propaganda pushed by the government and poets were often slung in jail. Similarly, the mix of rythm and poetry is having the same affects, for either positive or negative, only that it seems that the positive messages are now being attacked. The Devil has realised that God's people, the generation of today, have stood ground and decied to take back what is God's, so now he is trying to bring in these religious modern-day-pharisees such as G Craig Lewis and using them to tear down what is a powerful force amongst youths of today. He sees that God is using the 'lowest' of people, the people from 'the streets', the 'ex-gang members' etc to take his message to the poeple they were once associated with and can relate to, and is steadily bring the lost to Christ. So his plan is to crush this by pushing these teachings.

My reply to any1 who has watched this dvd to read what I have just posted and take a minute to reflect on what is relly goin on. Pray that God opens your eyes to the wider picture. I pray that this message doesn't reach so far that more souls will be lost and more backslidin occurs, because that is the effect that such a message will have. In the name of Jesus can this poison be cured before it reaches the whole body and finally kills.

'...the kingdom suffereth violence and the violent taketh by force...'
