Yolanda Adams on Being in an Abusive Relationship And Working With Kanye West! | Hollywood Unlocked

[@scrillscrill1099]

One day when I was lost... A lady gave me a ride. In her car was playing " Riding through the storm" by Yolanda Adams. That song helped me get to better days. I still listen to it for added personal strength and reassurance.

God was an evil and cruel God to me in the Spiritual Realm but good in the Natural. I prayed hard prayers, fasted hard, begged and pleaded but God NEVER saved me all because I was predestined not to make it in St John 6:37; Romans 8:29-30; Romans 11:25. I hate that he ever created me.

I'm glad she shut that down without going into specifics. Beautiful answer. And all women don't want to be married. Most of us don't NEED or WANT a man to feel complete. Some women just want an Honest, Trustworthy, Polite, No Drama companion. Simple. And it's amazing that the "Church" never questioned Aretha Franklin's faith. She had her reign in Gospel & Secular music. And she was the Queen.

[@darryls2141]

you missing out. Godly men are out there and smart, sweet, kind and spiritiual women like yourself is worthy of a Good Godly man.

[@kevintgrainger]

I don’t know how old you are but in fact, “the church” CONSTANTLY questioned Aretha Franklin’s commitment to her faith.

[@MrRealbrotha]

she wanted to be married because she did it twice. Also, both were abusive..so i disagree with her not being open about it. She got into another one so that speak alot because she wasn't healed. The concern of the other person was baffling to me. If she did speak out, other women could have learned from her situation and she is also cool with dm or messaging.I know. She is a fantastic talent and cool people still.

[@GodsChild4Ever446]

I absolutely love her. I had the privilege of meeting her many years ago in Atlanta Ga. during GMWA. She was so warm and welcoming. I’m all of 5”6’ and I was taking a picture with her and she so lovingly stooped down so that the picture would be awesome. She’s such a wonderful woman of God and her voice is matchless. My favorite song of hers is MY LIBERTY.

I love Yolanda's way & approach to testify about life. It's always to help someone to improve their life

[@kamariatoure42]

I've always loved her since I was a little kid and I remember her on Sunday Best as a judge when the other judges were jerks, she was so gracious to a young gay gospel singer. The others were laughing and judging and critiquing, but she gave real guidance..Judge not. She has a nice spirit

[@barbaralucas7890]

I love Yolanda's persona. I listened to her when she was a radio host for years and like all human beings, she has her ways, but she remains strong in her faith in God through Jesus Christ, she's obedient to God, and have a sincere reverence for God, considering that her father was a bishop. From my perspective, she has a genuine loving heart. That comes from upbringing. I hope Yolanda takes more time out to teach West about God. I really believe that with more knowledge about God and Jesus through the scriptures, West will find a holy path.

So true. Stop letting people rehash negative things in your life to keep them relevant.

[@jbt7224]

If we are TRULY living for Jesus Christ our lives are NOT our own. The BIBLE says we have been brought with a price. God will ALWAYS use the negative things to glorify HIS Name, this is called a Christian's testimony. I believe she missed an opportunity to testify how God brought her victory and healing through that experience. This is "witnessing" for Jesus Christ and NOT rehashing one's past. I am 💯 sure it would have "encouraged" a viewer who finds themselves in the midst of an abusive relationship to turn to Jesus Christ.

Can You Show Me The Scriptures That Says The Most High God Is Called She Or It???

[@janepatton8100]

The worth and dignity of a soul is measured by what it delights in! And delight/happiness is our highest desire. Men have killed to have it. Kings have gone mad trying to find it. Wars have served it. Affairs have worshiped it. We all seek it. Sadly, billions have died without discovering its secret... namely, that joy is not an it, but a He. The Gospel is the good news that sinners can delight in a Holy God. It's the good news that all of our deepest desires are satisfied in the ONE who sent His Son to bring us to Him. . God is so valuable and so satisfying that the most loving thing he could do for us is to make Himself gloriously indispensable. He is the only being in the universe for whom self-exaltation is the highest virtue. Therefore, God's commitment to be glorified and our goal to be satisfied are not at odds but come to simultaneous consummation in the worship of His Son... who took upon Himself the Wrath that God had towards us in our sinful disregard of Him. A wrath that could never be appeased through man-made religion. Jesus didn't die to turn the world into a paradise, he died so that we could stop seeking paradise in the world... Temporal things such as beauty, popularity, money, sex, racial identity, gender reassignment... can never truly satisfy. BECAUSE WE WERE MADE FOR SO MUCH MORE! We were made to gaze intently into the Eternal Beauty of a majestic King, Father, and God... meet Jesus the Christ. Life is hard, God is good, Glory is coming 😊... Thanks for taking the time to read this comment. May God bless you with all things necessary for life and goodness. God Bless!

We cannot compromise the gospel of Christ and who God is to bring Him down to a particular level that it will palatable for folks practicing sin. The Word of God is the Word all by itself. Trying to gain the world and losing your own soul is not it. You don’t compromise who God is to make Him more “progressive” for others. If they need milk and not meat then give them milk.

I've always loved her and her songs, they certainly got me through so much and till this day i listen to her music, but NOWHERE in The Bible is God referred to as a she, not even an it. He's always referred to as an HE, and for her to say that. He is a spirit but NOT a she spirit. We're definitely living in the cusp of revelation. "Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect."

It would be so nice to see a "Christian" not compromise on a public platform. It is inevitable that if you truly follow the God of the Bible that you're going to offend. We can love the sinner, but not the sin. Yes, Jesus was in the company of sinners, but He never compromised or changed His beliefs to fit in. Christians need to get a backbone and be unapologetic when it comes to their beliefs. The unbeliever is unapologetic about what they believe, so why should we be?
