CP – Popular rapper and music producer Kanye West declared himself a formidable servant of Jesus Sunday as he called America back to God, teased big plans to evangelize the youth through new music and warned agents of the devil that “no weapon formed against me shall prosper.”
“Every time I stand up, I feel that I’m standing up and drawing a line in the sand and saying, ‘I’m here in service to God and no weapon formed against me shall prosper,’” West said in a wide-ranging discussion with Pastor Joel Osteen of Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas, before an audience of 17,000, at the church’s 11 a.m. service. West, who revealed that his mother and father raised him in church and taught him the fear of God, said he now wants to do the same for his children he shares with wife, Kim Kardashian West.
“As I now have a family. I’m 42 years old, married for five years, there is a latent responsibility for me to become more like my mother, who’s gone to Heaven, and more like my father, who’s working and building a water purification system in the DR. You know with rappers there’s so many things that we’ve done to maintain the idea of coolness. You know we have our own daughters and we’d still be rapping about trying to hook up with somebody daughter,” West said. READ MORE
