hi. It isn't until you become a Christian that you start really paying attention to the lyrics of the songs you've been listening to, and you find yourself saying, Hold on, what did they just say? It became overwhelmingly obvious to me that artists love to mention Jesus Christ. Why is this, and why not Muhammad, why not Buddha? Why the obsession with Jesus Christ? And then something else that's always stood out to me was why is it trendy to talk about Satan. Thank you to Satan for giving me inspiration on how to play this role. Why is it normalized to sing about the devil, and why is it that the more you reject God and His word, the more praise you receive? Well, it's obvious. It's because the prince of this world is the devil. And if you don't believe that he has his hand on the music industry, on some of the most influential people in the world, I hope this video opens up your eyes and your ears for that matter, because if you start to look deeper, you will see that

These artists are blatantly telling you who they walk with, and it's not God. And whether someone tells you they're a Christian or not, aren't Tennessee Christian values. I live in Tennessee. I am Christian. That's not what we stand for. The Bible tells us that we will know them by their fruit. So, in this video today, let's examine some fruit. But before we dive in, I just want to say that I obviously do not know these artists' hearts; only God does. And I'm not looking to judge anyone. We should all be praying for these artists to come to the truth. But my goal with this video is to show you guys the fruit and let you examine it for yourself. And why? Because of the fruit, I have chosen to shut these artists off and remove them from my Spotify. So, with that being said, let's dive in. Number one is The Weeknd. I swear I can make an entire video on each one of the artists that we are going to be covering today, so we're just going to be stating the most obvious. I mean, if we

just look at the weekend's most popular song, Starboy, which has achieved over 2.4 billion views in the video. You see him murdering his old self and then walks around a penthouse with a giant Red Cross held upside down. And there are two ways that we can look at this. Maybe the weekend is turning from his old life and turning to Christianity. Maybe he is becoming born again. But just listening to the lyrics of this song, we can see that that's just not the case here. Just glimpsing at a number of his other music videos, it shouldn't take long for Christians to see the wickedness. Even in videos for his album Dawn FM, we see him again murdering his old self while in his video. He has demons cheering him on his performance. Just 2 weeks ago, looks like a party in hell. And I can already see people now watching this video of mine saying the weekend is an artist. This is just art. This is just an expression of himself. It is all just art. It doesn't

surprise me because we are living in a time where we are told not to believe our own eyes and ears. Well, how about this message on the screen during one of his concerts? Is it still just art? I don't know what else to say after seeing all this. Absolutely not what I listen to, the weekend, obviously. Let's pray for the weekend. Number two, Taylor Swift. If you dive deeper into the lyrics of Taylor Swift, you will find her songs to be about adultery, karma, witchcraft, and there are many deep dives into her lyrics and music videos that clearly show that she writes songs that are against God's word. But the obvious one for me, for someone who calls themselves a Christian, as a Christian, we know that life begins in the womb because God knew us before we were formed in our mother's womb. And I'm sorry, but if you don't believe that, you don't believe God's word. And the millions of young listeners who have made an idol out of Taylor Swift have been heavily influenced by the things that she says and does. It's a

shame how much good she could do for the kingdom of God. So, let's pray for Taylor Swift, okay? Following up with one of Taylor Swift's best friends that actually broke my heart was Sabrina Carpenter. She was in a movie that I absolutely loved that was called Clouds, and I loved her in that movie. But that was before she rose to fame extremely fast over the last few months, and just as fast, we were shown her kissing girls. You can also see this clip where she's burning sage, which if you want a more in-depth video on sage, you should check this video out, and I'll link it below. All witchcraft practices practice sage. If you go to a witchcraft store, they always got sage on deck. Then we have her filming a provocative music video in the Catholic Church, and then when she got backlash over this, she responded with Jesus was a carpenter, since her last name is Carpenter. I guess the joke was that Jesus is a fan of her, but an easy question I think for us Christians to be

able to answer is do you think Jesus would be a fan of the things that Sabrina Carpenter is promoting? Her lyrics about God, such as Has Jesus, what's a girl to do, this boy doesn't even know the difference between there, there, and there yet he's naked in my room, followed up with Since the good ones called their exes wasted and since the Lord forgot my gay Awakening. I don't know what else to say because I can see Christians in comment sections on other videos defending Sabrina Carpenter and defending her music. It sincerely confuses me, but parents, I would never let my child listen to Sabrina Carpenter if I had children, nor would I ever fill my mind with lyrics like this. But something so cool, I noticed that her ex-boyfriend Joshua Bassett posted a video of his testimony and how he was radically saved by Jesus Christ. So praise God, let's pray that Sabrina Carpenter eventually does the same. Okay, number four is Beyonce. Again, a whole video, but just this song alone where she is claiming to use Bible

Pages as tampons sat alone and begged and bent at the waist for God. I crossed myself and thought I saw the devil. I bathed in bleach and plugged my minties with pages from the holy book. Okay, and check this clip out. This is a witch who is talking about Beyonce. Take a listen. So, do you consider yourself a witch? Oh, I am a witch. They tell me Beyonce's a witch and like that, that we should be scared. Yeah, okay, yeah, she's an Epi. So when she wears her yellow, that's o. When she said that yellow is a significant color, it instantly made me think about the following clip from that audio that I just showed you about her talking about the Bible. Right after that clip, she comes out in a very, very bright yellow dress. And okay, you might call me a conspiracy theorist for saying this, but I have been following this stuff since before I gave my life to Jesus. So I've always just noticed this repetition with artists that are rising to fame, that they always at least

have one music video where they are killing their old selves, and since I became a Christian, this stood out to me more because, as Christians, we become born again, right? So, we essentially die to our old selves as well. But what about those that are walking with the devil? What about those that sell their souls to the devil, which we know is a thing? And isn't it interesting how many artists have an alter ego? Marshall Mathers, Slim Shady, Nicki Minaj and her four alter egos, many, many different Ultra egos, right? Oh, oh yes, Roman is one, and then you have Roman is one. Roman is a crazy boy who lives in me. I think he was born out of Rage. He was conceived in Rage. And then we have Beyoncé, NOS, AKA Sasha Fierce. When, like, the moment right before when you're nervous and that other thing kind of takes over for you, uhhuh, then Sasha Fierce appears in my posture and the way I speak and everything is different. And I remember

right before I performed, I raised my hands up, and it was kind of the first time I felt something else come into me. Yeah, it's a no for me. Number five is Ariana Grande, another artist that I have been watching since I was a kid. A common theme with a lot of artists as well is that they grow up in church and then deny God. That's why I made that video dedicated to a rising star, Chapel Rowan, whose entire brand has been her rejecting Christianity and knocking Jesus Christ. It's just so obvious now that if you deny Jesus Christ here on this Earth, you will be rewarded by the prince of the air some way or another. But remember, for whoever will save his life shall lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. Ariana Grande turned from God after her brother Frankie was rejected by the church for being gay. Now she identifies as being a witch or witch. I am indeed the witchiest witch. I don't think I need to say anything more, but just for the

fact of somebody calling my god a woman. I would never in my life tune in to one of Ariana Grande's performances or songs. My brothers and sisters in Christ, what we listen to matters. I know it may feel like it's just a song, but ask yourself, if it's just music, why does the devil care about it so much? Why is he involved so heavily? Music is influential; artists are influential. The devil only hates one person, and that's Jesus Christ, you guys. That's why the repetition of the hatred of Jesus Christ is consistently seen by all these influential people. Be watchful; the enemy prowls around like a roaring lion. Be careful what you listen to and what you're feeding your mind and your spirit with. All right, guys, we might have to make a part two of this, so if there's an artist that I didn't mention that you're like, Taylor, please mention this artist, or please do a study on this artist, I don't know if I should be listening to them, please drop it in the comment section below. I love you guys.

and I'll see you guys in the comments. God bless you guys. See you. Hey guys, what's up? Thank you so much for watching today's video.
