Pastor John Gray Speaks On Tasha Cobbs & Nicki Minaj Collab

Honestly, when I heard Nicki sing, I was in tears. She did a wonderful job and those lyrics were so real! It was the real thing right there, right then

[@dr.mcfragengoof8044]

@k johnson i say this as a true christian and believer in God, but you are the most despicable type of believer there is. you have this falsehood that everything about God is perfect and holy. you sound like my former pastor and its disgusting. Nicki came to Tasha and asked could she worship God on her album not the other way around. the pastor in this video is right: ANYONE is allowed to worship God because He said so and if you can't get that through your thick skull then you need to sit in a corner with a dunce cap on and read the Bible from front to back because where did Jesus go to minister? not in the churches, not with the holy men, not with the saved folk. He went to the lowest of the low and the dirt poor the nasty the filth to minister and help them. modern society is not in tune with God enough to come to Him like the King James bible but they respond to familiarity. Seeing/hearing Nicki in this song HAS and WILL CONTINUE to bless souls and win them to Christ. I pray whatever darkness and misery taints your heart is cleared before its too late for you. God said let ALL who are willing come unto me. You don't get to decide who is worthy that's not your place... SIT DOWN

“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spit you out of My mouth." Revelations 3:15-16. "They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood." John 4:5-6 Grace, Peace, and mercy to all the saints who stand up for God and don't compromise His Holy standard for this passing world, I encourage you, keep fighting for the truth. May God continue to strengthen you!

[@ShinzuXTruth]

Its not compromising anything. the Song is glorifying God. Plain and simple. Are you going to stop strippers from Glorifying God too? How about lawyers? Judges? Actors? Pornstars? Anyone with a career YOU deem beneath you. Humble yourself.

[@thisishowwedoit1]

ShinzuXTruth You're exposing yourself. Friend, a 'true' Believer that's in the Faith are to 'study' (The WORD), to show themselves approved. And true Believers 'must' be in Sound Doctrine. With that being said, you don't know or understand what the Bible states. Do you 'not' know that Believers are told; He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination Prov 28:9.., Now we know that God hears not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and does his will, him he hears John 9:31.., If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me Psalm 66:18.., The LORD is far from the wicked: but he hears the prayer of the righteous Prov 15:29... *DO YOU SEE THAT???* cont.

[@thisishowwedoit1]

(cont.) Those who walk in the flesh, GOD does 'not' listen when they call, praise or worship HIM. Facts! Examine yourself my friend. Truly be Born Again knowing Sound Doctrine, walking in The SPIRIT. Or you will die in your sins! No carnal Christian or false convert will enter into Heaven. Again Believers are told; God judges the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day Psalm 7:11... Angry is defined having a strong feeling of or showing annoyance, displeasure, or hostility; full of anger... Friend, those who come to GOD 'must' Repent and Believe the Gospel, being doers of the WORD, forsaking/denying themselves, picking up their Cross and following CHRIST. *We are NOT to continue in sin nor approve of those who do wickedness!!!* Don't you know The LORD 'hates' the wicked??? I"ll leave with this; The LORD tries the righteous: *but the wicked and him that loves violence his soul hates* Psalm 11:5... Woe to you

When I first heard this song on spotify, I didn't even know the rapper was Nicki & THIS SONG SAVED ME! If Christ is using them as vessels to reach out through his art, none of it matters but the glory returned to him in the process. I was in a deep hole & God somehow played this song next when I didn't even know who Tasha was. That was my song for the next week & month & I for one, can tell you that repeating those words to myself and creating lyrical choreographies as a dancer, helped me get out of that ditch & not return. To this day, I am blessed by that song. So brethren, tell me how I'm supposed to care about the artists more than the art? At the end of the day, y'all may vocalize your opinions but the purpose was for his word to not return void & in my life, these words expressed in art brought the glory back to him. If this reached out to me who didn't know her or follow Nicki, imagine what the Spirit could do if this landed in Nicki's followers' ears. There's always so much potential with things pointing to the kingdom & we should rid our focus on the artist but the glory the art can return to our Father.

LOUIS DAVIS, that's what's wrong with Christians, today, they always ACTING, never being changed, by the power, of the HOLY GHOST, most never truthfully surrender and pick up their cross everyday and die to their flesh. That's why the Bible says there will be few that enter in. The road to eternal life is very narrow. Especially westernized Christianity, people lead others to their church building or pastor but they never lead them to CHRIST, because most of the time, he's a stranger to them also, they have no real knowledge of the living GOD. they only know of him. As, followers are CHRIST, through, the Power of the HOLY GHOST, we can live above Willful Sin. JESUS IS COMING QUICK, look around at the signs Apostasy is everywhere.

Cyrus Speaks INDEED, I'M LOVIN THE COMMENTS TOO !!! I'm searching to see if any believers who are IN THE SPOTLIGHT stood firm on GOD'S side, not the Tasha or Nicki side. I feel like they are all (w/o OUTWARDLY saying it, yet it being so obvious because of the big names or titles they hold) in fear of being bashed or ANY kind of negative publicity commimg from this. But are we supposed to be standing for GOD'S image or our own ??? We should fear NOTHING but God. WHO CARES if the millions of people who had seen Nicki's request to be on the song were upset if Tasha had declined. Or if they even stopped following Tasha. I KNOW FOR A FACT, that after God saw how she stood FIRM for the purity and image of HIM and HIS glory, He would have gave her TEN FOLD of whatever she lost. She probably would be BREAKIN DOWN some bigger doors right about now. It's crazy out here in this world man. We have to stick together and remind each other of these things. (I do Christian hip hop myself, and have had to turn down collabs with even FRIENDS because our LIVES did not speak the same message. Our lives and how we live them might be the ONLY Bible or demonstrtion of who God is that some people will EVER see. We must be careful, especially with a higher platform and many eyes watching.)

I love Tasha Cobbs and we have to take our opinion out and go with the scriptures. We not saying Nikki can't worship God but that doesn't mean that she should be in Tasha CD. We have to stay salty. We can mix darkness with the light . God loves everyone but that doesn't take away the scripture and instructions. What does light have in common with darkness. Believers we need to wake up and help each other in love but be honest . How can we win the world if we conform to the world. We still love them but we can't continue patting sin on the back. This doesn't mean Tasha isn't anointed but Nikki was not a good pick for her CD. This does not mean we don't love Nikki. When people use the world judge it's always to pamper sin. We as believers should love correction and hate sin. Let's wake up people of God . Be honest!! Truth will always set us free.

The Book Song of Solomon are most definitely & historically love letters from Solomon to his over 500 wives & many of these letters were written to melody thusly my R&B comparison. Furthermore Pastor Cobb's has never made any statement saying she regretted her duet with Nicki this proves your lies, the rest of my afore- mentioned adjectives of you are proved by everything else you typed. It's not about what Nicki the entertainer it's about Nicki THE SOUL & that SOUL being exposed to the kingdom & to the Love Of God, which you need to be exposed too.I have no doubt she heard the Word & was exposed to the kingdom through Pastor Cobb's. Of course this is to much for a Sad-U-Cee to understand. You would have grabbed your stone for the woman that Jesus defended in her adultery, but like the rest of the crowd & your logic in this conversation you must turn away convicted & drop your stone. You have no right to breathe, just like myself, & Nicki & Tasha , let alone judge. Are you saved, are you bearing fruit I.E love, joy, peace, gentleness, long-suffering, goodness , faith?

How do you know that she doesnt have a relationship with Christ? YOU DONT! 3. You do know the Apostles sinned right? They werent perfect. 4. When did Jesus meet Paul? On the road to Damascus right? When he was a PHARISEE right? When he was PERSECUTING believers, right? Hmmm but didnt you say he brought them into ministry AFTER THEY CHANGED? Yet, that day changed Paul's live while he was still LIVING in sin! Please, I cant stress it enough, STUDY YOUR BIBLE dont just read it 5. Remember: Our goal is to save lives and the only way we can do that is to bring sinners to Christ. meaning, we have to expand our circle to include sinners! We have to build relationships so we can bring them to God

John Gray is the associate Pastor at Lakewood(Joel's osteen) "church" Tasha Cobbs attends a church that's just as false in Atlanta. We have to be discerning and do our homework. False doctrine is poisonous to our spiritual walk.

[@christianmari87]

I disagree with what he's saying because the Bible never instructs us to engage unbelievers or people who are not saved into ministry with us. I look at people like CeCe Winans who was able to be friends with Whitney Houston. CeCe Winans may have collaborated on a song with Whitney, but she did not invite her to lead worship with her on any of her tracks. I'm tired of people saying "well look at such-and-such" and "look at this other person because they did ____, so that means you can't say this is wrong". That's far from logical. I honestly don't believe that the Lord told Tasha to do this. The Bible is very clear when it says that if we hear any Spirit say something and it does not line up with the Word, we cannot believe that it's from the Lord. Everything the Lord does will be in sync with His Word, and this does not make the cut. It's also about time Christians stop using the word "judge" as if the Bible does not tell us to judge among ourselves (believers). The only place in the Bible where we are asked not to judge is if we are committing the same sins (or worse) or if someone is not a believer. People really need to read their Bibles and understand how this works. Additionally, judging has nothing to do with someone's behavior towards you. Judging is just making a decision. If people have made a decision about you, usually that doesn't affect anything. However, if they have a decision about you that makes them act a certain kind of way, then the issue is that they are acting a certain kind of way, not that a judgment was made. Their attitude is the personal problem. I can know that someone is not saved and still treat them with the utmost love and respect. I can also know someone is not saved and choose to look at them as if they are less than me. At all times I have to remember that I am nothing but dust, be humble, understand that I do not deserve salvation, and love that other person. However, I am not going to release a worship album with someone who is not saved. Nicki Minaj has not shown any fruit of being saved. We have to stop with this new age mentality that we "don't know somebody's personal relationship with the Lord". The Bible also tells us that a saved person bears fruit. I'm not going to assume that someone is bearing fruit for the Lord and I see 0% of it. I hate that this is even a public discussion on here, because Nicki might actually be in the place where the Lord is getting ready to touch her. She's going to be seeing all of these comments and they come off as hateful. It's not coming out of a place of hate, but coming out of a place of order. EVERYTHING done for the Lord has to be done in order. I believe that while Tasha may not have been told to release a worship track with Nicki Minaj, she may have been asked to befriend her and to love her. With no business transaction involved. No money to be made out of it. If I hear a spirit say something to me and I know it goes against what the word says, I'm just not going to do it. It doesn't matter how close I am to the Lord. The enemy can speak to anyone. The enemy tempted Jesus in the wilderness. What makes me feel I'm so above Jesus that it's not possible the enemy would try to make me do something contrary to God's will? There's no excuse.

[@daniellelove1373]

As a pastor why would you try to put down Christians that want to live right by saying they act like they're perfect when we're called to holiness? Are Christians supposed to just sin boldly all the time and outwardly deny the gospel with their lives to PROVE something to you that "hey we sin too & we enjoy the world." And in the same breath you condemned those that are living double lives by saying they sing and are still sleeping around and drinking etc. What make you think that everyone that call themself a 'gospel artiste' is a Christian or are the standard for how Christians should live? Believe it or not this Hollywood gospel music industry lifestyle is not same as a Christian that walk according to the Word of God. This video could be less than a minute long if they just admitted it was done for money.

[@MarlonMcLeod]

Totally Agree...... What people need to understand and accept is that God Wants the CHURCH to be SEPARATED from the WORLD (2 Corinthians 6:17).... it therefore means that it cannot be RIGHT in the sight of GOD for a Gospel ARTISTE to collaborate with a Public Figure Secular artiste...... Thats WRONG ON SOOO MANY LEVELS; This isn't even about judging....... Tasha Cobbs has a CALLING on her LIFE hand-picked and selected by God there is NOOOO WAY that She needs a Nicki Minaj to Collaborate with to enhance the effectiveness of the GOSPEL.......This Pastor is clearly in Support of Tasha Cobbs whether she is right or WRONG..... TEAM TASHA COBBS!!! SMH (The Sad TRUTH)....... Well For me ITS TEAM JESUS!!!! All this pastor is doing is Justifying and bringing up irrelevant things that has nothing to do with the WORD OF GOD.

"Who is allowed to Worship God?" - those with clean hands and pure heart! According to the Psalms.

[@thaboyoudin313]

Then no one in this generation is allowed to worship God. We all sinners. Jesus sad "I've not come for the righteous but I've come for the sinners".

[@एलनजोसफ]

Yes he came to get the sinner an turn them into his righteousness so they can worship him truth not in a lie Jesus only accepts those with clean hands an a pure heart to worship him jesus will not change do it my way Generation we must repent of are sinful action an way an turn to him an do it his way The problem with the sinner is he refuses to die to himself Jesus said if any man cometh to me and the desire to be my disciple let him deny himself daily and pick up his cross How clear do you want it

[@Sheafemqueen]

Yes it does say that but why do people only care about verses that show their point of view, if we really are talking you just sinned by judging and the only one who allowed to judge is God . So make sure thus Sunday you don’t praise cuz according to you your not pure and clean , no one has a pure heart , the heart is corrupt and wants to drag you to sin. If you really had the knowledge you’d know that praise and worship are too separate things , people can praise and not go to church because they can recognize that their is a God . But worshiping is when you realize that your a sinner and need to change so you start worshiping and changing your life in Gods eyes

[@एलनजोसफ]

@alvin we don’t care about verses that show are point of view this is God point of view that the problem with this Generation whenever you show them god point of view which is known as the truth they think it you speaking or your pointing your opinion. are we the one in this Generation who wrote the holy bible or is it God word given to us to follow. as it is written 2timothy 3:16 (NLT) all scripture is Inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us recognize what is wrong in our lives. it corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. know if the word of God is teaching me what is right and what is wrong and I come and I tell you according to the word of God what is right and what is wrong I am not judging I am not giving my opinion I am simply stating what God has said am giving God opinion Who cares about how we think it really matters about what God thinks. the problem is this generation creates a God that doesn’t exist inside the holy Bible they like to fit this God according to There ways instead of his way an can’t even bring Scripture to prove what they believe The Bible says is 2 Tim 2;15 study to show thine self approved. Have we sin because we pointed out the error of this man I can tell you I have not sin neither any of my brothers or sisters who do not agree with what this man has said . What does the Bible say the Scripture says in 1 Corinthians chapter 5 : 12 it isn’t my responsibility to judge outsiders but it certainly is your responsibility to judge those inside the church who are sinning In other words it isn’t my responsibility to judge those who are not save who don’t know God that’s not my responsibility that’s God responsibility do we have that clear. but it is my responsibility according to the word of God to judge those inside the church who keep on sinning ⛪️ rember the church is the body of Christ an who are the body of Christ they are Christian. if I as a believer don’t point out the wrong that this man is saying and doing then young believers who may give their life to Christ may think it’s OK to do such a thing this shouldn’t be so. Love does not permit it . but we should all train into godliness and holiness and lastly one thing that you said that said According to me you are not pure and clean no one has a pure heart I never said that you have just sin By provideing false testimony I only simply stated what Jesus said that Jesus only except those with clean hands and a pure heart to worship him and that Jesus would not change for this generation . let me help you out you’re my brother and I want to help you out because you believe that no one has a pure heart that the heart is corrupted and dragged you to sin yes indeed but when you meet Jesus the process begins of renewing your mind and having a clean heart what I perceive or sense is that you have not been taught or shown how to escape sin or to have a pure heart that is why you go in a cycle and cycle falling into sin over an over as you can see there is not one thing that I have stated that is my opinion or that is my words I have only clearly stated with the Bible says so please do not give me your opinion give me Bible. to continue you said no one has a pure heart well let me show you how to get a pure heart what does the Bible say The Bible Says blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God now We see the only the pure in heart will see God so it shows that these people exist how do we become pure and stay pure The Bible says in the book of psalms 119 verse nine how can a young person stay pure by obeying your word. When you give your life to GOD by faith an that faith causes you to please God‘s word and practice his word because you love him that same word begins to change your viewpoint the way you think the way you act the way you speak the way you do things it makes you do things like your heavenly father which is in heaven it makes you live more like Jesus it makes you have the desires of Jesus that’s what happens when you obey the word of God you gain a pure heart in return I think I have spoken everything clear and simple So please my brother go repent of your statement Jesus if any questions feel free to drop it in But I’m clearly responding to your message in which you have wrote. I have spoken

If anything, why don't we do a better job of holding ourselves more accountable to the Word so that we won't feel the need to justify the non-repentant heart of others who wish to be a part of us?

Question: If you are fleeing from people that live in sin, how can you bring them to God??? Please STUDY your bible. Understand the CONTEXT. not just the content. Studying is NOT the same as reading. When you study the bible you'll learn that our goal is the SAVE lives; bring people to Christ. How can we save lives if we are fleeing from those that need to be saved? Do you see how reading can make you not grasp the true intent of the passage? That's why studying is important. Please study. Blueletterbible website is a good one to visit

John Gray thanks for being honest, you just confirmed what I thought about you and your ministry....Compromising and Conforming. Jesus, His Disciples and Apostles ministered to sinners and dined with them, but he only collaborated with His Disciples for Ministery and Communion. He never collaborated with the lost to minister to the Lost. Shame on John Gray, Fred Hammond, Kirk Franklin, Ty Tribett, Mary Mary, Marvin Sapp, Kim Burrell, Tasha Cobbs and Lecrae who have a form of godliness when they do collaborations with lost or approve of doing so. This is a Trend now, to find a ungodly secular Artist and do a collaboration with them to build up your Brand and Bank Account and by disguising it as Evangelism, Ministery, and Being Relevant. Look at how Jesus told the young Rich man to sell all of his belongings and give the money to the poor, and then come follow him. He did not say hay let's collaborate together on something hoping to reach him and others. They should only collaborate with these Artists after they have Renounced all of their wicked, ungodly, and profane music publicly and have shown fruit of repentance in their lives. SEE ACTS 26:20 ICHABOD TO THEM ALL!!!!

Is Nicki going back to sing as she's been doing or she's staying gospel? This isn't about Nicki this is about Tasha being like the world. Serve God in truth and honor. The Bible shows us how to worship God in honor. Having a beautiful voice and singing gospel doesn't make you a worshiper. The angels worships God in honor and glory so its a previlage for us to worship him so lets do it the Bible way not our way.

[@ChoctawTonie96209]

Exactly Who's drawing Who???

[@ShinzuXTruth]

Bottom line, Like Pastor John said. this song glorifies God. are we going to go back 424523 years in the past to look at nickis discography? are we going to look in your past? Nicki never claimed to be a gospel rapper. shes a rapper who wanted to glorify God. Whose to say who can glorify God? Thats foolish that you would categorize and label people from doing the exact thing God wants them to do just because YOU think they arent going to continue it. Who knows what nicki does in her private life. God doesn't need bouncers and gatekeepers to shun people from glorifying him. You're horrible if you think that way. Bottom line, Nicki didn't need to do the cover. she didnt do it for money or anything like that..shes fine in that department. She did it simply to glorify God. leave her alone.

[@AMIYAMOMI]

Ellen Boatemaa why can’t I sing about god we are all sinners !!!!!!

[@reallycuteco]

This is beyond garbage. The great falling away smh

[@crisjackson282]

You are correct. I truly believe many of them never even knew Christ.

[@Imuetinyanosa]

Chantelle Bonsall I disagree. I believe a lot of believers are extremely judgemental, and not realizing that we are not walking in love as we ought to (Like Jesus!) When Jesus ate with the tax collectors, the Pharasees thought it was preposterous. You never know if Nikki, later down the line gets convicted of her ungodly living & gives her life to Christ based on the fact that a well known believer accepted her, even though she wasnt living Holy, rather than judge her. God's ways aren't ours, yet we still try to use our human understanding to figure out what's going on, & whos in the wrong.

[@adoptmefand8054]

Chantelle Bonsall We fallen a long time ago...what's NEW?

[@edwardbanks6113]

Tinyan Odiase very well said my sista when will we as,m Christians stop judging and start embracing

[@amenkid2]

Tinyan Odiase - these people are all telling fibs. They are not being sincere. They are all connected. John Gray is a secret Satanist and so is Nikki Minaj, and anyone else they approve of. They do not sincerely love God, Jesus Christ at all. They tell fibs to fool people into a kind of Christianity that is full of compromise, and they do it on purpose, they are all on each others' side. They just want money and control, they don't really care about anyone truly following God at all. They are in fact against it.

[@Ivorypharmacist]

This message is wrong. I disagree completely. Tasha is a minister not just a worshipper. Only People set apart by God are allowed to minister

[@scottlynnrobinson426]

The Bible does tell us who can worship him even how he wants to be worshipped and how to approach him. At some point the church has to stop putting their own spin on the holy scriptures.

[@queenjewels3585]

I waa so devastated to hear this. This caused me to stumble for a very long time. It wasn't until recently I discovered they are worshiping the god of this world

[@brahmabkitty03]

I haven't heard the song but i think it's great. Nicki has had a lot of turmoil in her life. This may be God's way of showing grace and telling her to come home. At the end of the day, God gave us free will. Like Pastor John just said, "who can serve God?"

[@SingingProphetess]

So wait is he saying because she is singing with Tasha Cobbs on this song she IS worshiping God? I am very confused. I am not judging or attacking. BUT what I am saying is some things MUST REMAIN HOLY!!!! Now is she saved and has turned her life around to LIVE FOR GOD??? If so Amen and Hallelujah. Or is this to get MORE of the world to BUY the record???????

[@acharich]

😅😅😅

[@rayvonladawnnewsome6128]

Sadly it may be the latter 😞

[@mdeveaux7]

Come On Through With This MESSAGE! Amen! Only God Can Judge!!

[@shayshay4272]

Clearly these two haven't read James 4:4 in the Bible. That being said let's be honest here, she did a collaboration with Nicki to reach the masses to make money and when your focus is money and not God you'll compromise anything and everything. The music industry is completely controlled by the enemy deceiving the church even through so called Gospel music. Don't you know there are atheists doing gospel music for money? Yeah... when I found that out needless to say I was done. And stop claiming that somebody is judging them. When ppl want to resist the truth they always want to say that someone is judging them. Come out of Babylon!

[@jazzy9282]

It's not judgment to say what the Judge Meant!

[@erickharris9239]

Pastor John Gray, Out Of Houston. He's Awesome. Praise God, & Blessings. On Him, His Family, & His Church, Home.

[@suzys8558]

Wow, I got goosebumps listening to him."stop wearing sunglasses at night, you're not that great" Yes, the true ministry IS outside the church. Both of them speak such truth and loving every single thing they're saying.

[@michaelwhitfield2303]

I knew he would support her with twisted scipture, the Lord is working on me being lukewarm, so I'm not fooled by these false teachers

[@msj7593]

The best answer ever, "who is allowed to worship God " Thank you sir.

[@yolandanorman7595]

They sounded good, but where's the scripture......church folk, read the bible and pray for understanding from the Master!!! Every week, Church folk are being pimped by SOME "pastors" and "gospel" artist......betcha you can't book most of them for under $10k..........regarding Nicki - pray that she is led to salvation and one day be a disciple of Christ.

[@ianreid3102]

Two Intriguing Things Pastor Gray &His Wife Said in the Interview (1st lady said 'nicki Minaj ... .Loves God w/her whole ❤' where does Nickie Minaj Profess this love herself....and Jesus....'If You Love Me you will Keep My Commandments' Enough on 1st lady comment now Moving To Pastor Gray Statement ' who is Allowed to Worship God' Obviously Pastor Grauly has Not been Studying (God's Holy Word....the Bible) bc the Bible say(paraphrasing...' God is seeking for a Worshipper,and Those that Worship Him...Father-God 'Must Worship Him in Spirit and Truth'. There is a Difference in Praise &Worship the Bibles Declares Let Everything that Has Breathe 'Praise the Lord' bt when It comes to Worship There is A Deeper Intimacy that 1 Must have in Order to go into the Holies of Holy& The Only Way You can Have that Intimacy with God on a Worship Level is thru a Personal Relationships with the Lord Jesus Christ....Jesus said'BEHOLD, I Satnd at the door and Knock, and if any man let in i Will come and Sup with him......'(that word 'sup' in the Greek is translated into 'Fellowship' &the Only You can Fellowship with the Lord as If He there is Commonality...' How can two walk together less there be agreement,what fellowship does light have with darkness'.;the Worship was Used Inappropriately for this Matter(not attacking bt pointing out for love sake) i love the Ministry God has Placed on Tasha Cobbs life.....Pray Saints (bc it is 1 thing to Minister Privately to an Unsaved Person &give them Ministerial Tools(Music,Books,Poems, even inviting to Church) with the Intent into drawing them to Christ; and,i do understand that we are in the World bt Not of it...bt There is a Difference Between 'Holiness&Hell'& right now this Colloboration Is It!!!!!*myviewsandopinionsbasedontheWordofGod*

[@Yeshuaservant]

This is the reason why our churches became lukewarm for these same reasons. Yeshua sat with sinners because he saw they needed healing. He spoke told them to change from their sinful ways to seek after holiness and righteousness. What fellowship hath light with darkness? We are in end times don't be deceived by false teachers!!

[@09AshMck]

As one of my favorite teachers Heather Lindsey says and the Bible Says" Test every spirit".

[@dbelieve30]

Amen. I was having a conversation with my friend about Tasha-Nicki controversy and gave my friend the same response.

[@MzPeach33]

I pray that this album, better yet this song ministers to Nicki's heart. Better yet, I pray the words she sang minister to her. In Jesus name🙏🏾

[@dennis777ification]

Oh really Mr Gray you all support this...Ok then invite Nikki to come and minister at your church.. Give her a platform let her preach cause she's certainly not preaching on the platform she has...smh..C'mon people wake up the enemy isn't called a serpent for nothing

[@angeljohnson6665]

shurland dennis amen

[@TreBadAzz11]

shurland dennis you don’t know a damn thing about nicki and her platform. She has always preached and put out positive messages. She has done great things and has always talked about God. If you don’t know someone and their relationship with God then you shouldn’t judge them whatsoever . Because she makes a different type of music does not mean she doesn’t listen to gospel nor believ in God nor is a Christian . Christians sin more than anyone and like to judge other people

[@MzSoulll]

"touching the people" with the gospel isn't having someone who blatantly both glorifies and prospers from sin and degradation sing on a track about the very God she wholeheartedly offends. Y'all think that's what saves people? asking them to sing on gospel tracks? Yes, love Nicki, build with her, preach the gospel to her, have a relationship with her, get to know her as a person and treat her as the beautiful creation of God that she is...but what is presented as a representation of Christ is meant to be sacred...and there are way too many scriptures in the bible that applies wisdom to that. Nicki shouldn't be singing to christ on a platform until she is ready to step down from the degradation she supports. period. but doublemindedness is the way this world lives nowadays. Christ said he spewed the lukewarm from his mouth for a reason. Y'all sleep. don't @ me. @ Jesus. read your bible...and stop trying to compromise the truth like y'all compromise everything else. Everything ain't meant to be compromised. Sad a pastor out here confusing the masses. gospel music is basically a joke at this point.

[@letsdealwithit8493]

THE BIBLE SAYS WORSHIP THE LORD IN THE BEAUTY OF HOLINESS N THE LORD SAID MY FATHER IS LOOKING 👀FOR TRUE WORSHIPPERS WHO WILL WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT N IN TRUTH ❤️🙏🏽📖🙏🏽❤️

[@32Spoiled]

This man said who can worship GOD... He is a pastor and is asking this question. I'll tell all of you the answer. John 4:23 KJV But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. Only people who can worship GOD are "THE TRUE BELIEVERS" who are those who are bornagain unto righteousness. Those who are born of water and the spirit which is the Holy Ghost.

[@sotiredoverit4590]

Mahalia Jackson, hmmmmm. Now this intresting, It's funny how people can speak of MahaliaJackson and only know what the word presented her as. Yes she was a great Woman Yes she known has the world greatest singer. But comparing Tasha Cobb to Mahaila thats not a good comparison. Mahaila life style didnt resemble the world at all. I'm right in Chicagoi knew the lady well. This is the same lady when Duke Ellington begged her to sing a Secular song she declined. But he came to her house she cooked for him and she did recored with him but it was 1 song and was COME SUNDAY. Mahalia wasn't the first to sell a million record's in that day Clara Ward with Surely God is able.
