@Steve Her high round cheekbones and eye shape is definitely from her black side. I share those facial traits with her. I have NEVER seen a white woman have cheekbones and eyes like that. They have low cheekbones and round negative tilted eyes most of the time.

[@vinx3407]

Rain Pyror looks more white cause she has those negative tilted eyes, low cheekbones, long head and square shaped face many whites have. You're highly likely an Anglo white so its very unlikely for you to have wide almond eyes and round high cheekbones with a heart shaped jaw. Literally have never seen an Anglo woman with those features in my life cause I'd love examples lmao

[@mrbrownroyyal]

Spirituality was always there I see!

[@kyliesboy1]

Yeah but this was spirituality, not Christianity. I wonder what would modern day Denise say about this interview on God just being a higher energy inside everybody.

[@jdfodio]

It's the beginnings of an awareness of God as Spirit, which is necessary for receiving Jesus as Lord and Savior. She was raised Protestant so she knew the Gospel message...but there is a difference between "knowing" the Gospel message and accepting that you're a sinner who needs the grace of Jesus' salvation every day for eternity. That difference could be that your "cup of iniquity" must overflow and Jesus becomes your only salvation. She finally submitted to Him when she needed saving from an overdose. Then she walked out her salvation for the next 25+ years. Everyone who will be saved is marked for salvation and you can usually see the "seed" of awareness of God as Spirit in them as children - before the enemy smashes their faith - especially if they are raised in church or by Christian parents. See Romans 8.

The only interview I have seen of her when she was not High was, when she got much older and became a preacher. That must have been painful, very painful success, she does not seem to think very high of herself, if I may say.

[@nl511]

+Thenicestperson Afteryou I agree she seems high in most interviews (very much so in this one - very euphoric) and likely was, but I think it was quite obvious she had very high self esteem. It is sad - both her and Prince had the lives people dream of and they threw it away with drugs.

[@thenicestpersonafteryou1533]

Ho really, you see that like being High self esteem ? I really do not, she seems lost and says about anything that comes to her mind.

[@ReneeJayTheWriter]

These people didn't actually conduct the interview' they copied Vanity's portion of the interview from the original source, and then dubbed in their questions based on the answers Vanity provided in the original interview. That's why they never show the "interviewer". I know because I saw the original interview years ago.

[@Octoberthbeyond]

Sweet, sweet Vanity...always had a connection / love for God...I agree with her on the religion thing...to me you do not need to go to church..the church isn't going to save you. To me it's not about religion and which you belong to but whom you serve and how much faith you have in that being...that's what matters, at the end of the day. As for dear Prince they seriously needed to stop asking her about him. It's obvious she was still sprung on him (as she'll continue to be until her death). Just listen to her response to when the interviewer asked her about whether she was seeing someone else. Vanity could have been had someone by then, but I believe she didn't want to see anyone else BUT Prince. Prince was the same way about her (I don't care about Susannah; he just used her as a distraction. From what I heard he really initially wanted Wendy, but couldn't get with her since she was gay, so he shifted his feelings onto Susannah, her sister. Always wondered why he went for Susannah for hard....

[@sirpoppinchuck]

October 19th, 20 beyond yeah that was her understanding at the time because she was in the world in sin. Listen to her in her later years after she got saved she never missed church because she knows you shouldn't forsake the assembling of the saints. Church can't save you but it does provide a place for help, reassurance, spiritual support, and strength. What people dont understand is that "we" are the church the people. We make up the body of Christ which is called the church. Spend some time actually in a good church with carring, supportive, spirit filled, loving people for 6months-to a year then don't go to church n tell me the difference. You'll be back to your thoughts n actions you did before you were saved because your "in the flesh" your spirit is not being fed. So you lack spiritual nutrients.

[@venusbaptiste8210]

@@sirpoppinchuck you contradict yourself.... Either you need to go to church or you don't.

[@Luke91633]

The church is the gathering of people, it is the assembly. For anyone to reject the assembly is to reject what God created and designed for to build up , to change Abdul to edify the body of Christ for the purpose to perfect the believers . I know someone who is so caught up in the end times he sees evil in the church and in his own words rebukes the church . This is a lie from the enemy

+inaj27 God is Love at 2 min

[@jdfodio]

Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love. God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. This is real love-not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other. No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us. And God has given us his Spirit as proof that we live in him and he in us. Furthermore, we have seen with our own eyes and now testify that the Father sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. All who declare that Jesus is the Son of God have God living in them, and they live in God. We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world. Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love. We love each other because he loved us first. If someone says, “I love God,” but hates a fellow believer, that person is a liar; for if we don’t love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we cannot see? And he has given us this command: Those who love God must also love their fellow believers. - 1 John 4:7-21 NLT bible.com/116/1jn.4.7-21.NLT

acgillespie Riiight demons are attracted to those conditions we open doors for them to come in because we dont have any armor to protect us we are moved by our flesh n drawn in then addictions happen. I used to live in a very angry house i could feel spirits being brought into the home the anger brought them unforgiveness also then i learned my mom was doing witch craft there was visitations n everything. So i gave my life to the Lord n i was able to fight it! I was really into Prince then that really didnt help it only drew me into the sensual sexual side the lust of the flesh n eyes. But once i.learned my identity in Christ i was freed from those spirits n feelings. So imagine growing up abused, molested, abandoned now a star n sex symbol so.it actually is more of a trap now you have to pretend to be this star n symbol while your being tormented by spirits n hiding depression so you get high n sex it up. I had issues dealing with some of these same things that's why i think i related to Vanity n Prince so much as a youth..we all want someone who understands. But nobody understands and can free you but the Lord Almighty. My name in high School was "Lil Prince Charles" Now I've discovered a lot of my friends growing up suffered from depression/ mental illness but i also learned that they had a history of witchcraft, newage in there familes too! I prayed n still praying for their redemption.
