Here is a link to an article examining Jay-Z's flaunting of his occult ties, specifically in his new "Run This Town" video. vigilantcitizen.com/?p=1948I don't know about all content on the site as I have not had the chance to review it, but the article has some interesting info.

That is true. They don't hide their allegiances anymore. It is obvious and blatant for anyone who wants to see.
There is some discussion about how this all fits into the end times. In order for the new world religion to encompass the world, the elements of the mystical religions must be externalized. So those elements as reflected in secret societies such as Freemasonry are openly integrated into secular entertainment so that the masses will buy into them without understanding what they really represent.
This is what is being done today, and Jay-Z, Beyonce, Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Pink, Rihanna, Brittney Spears, etc. they are all being used to accomplish these goals. To draw people into satanic worship.
People often write asking me to do analysis of additional videos and artists. I am so through with that. Unless the Lord tells me to do something else, then I think all who wants to see will see. There is enough info out there on this topic and even disseminated by the artists themselves that demonstrate their satanic influences.
It is time for the church to wake up and seek God as never before. The unclean spiritual influences are strong and pervasive, but the Lord our God is stronger. May the distinction between light and darkness become ever clear so that it will compell people to seek the truth, which is only found in Jesus Christ.

Ok so i had a discussion with my friend about this occult symbols in videos and he challenged me that, so what if there's symbols in music but why or what is the reason behind those symbols because its not as if fans watch these videos and want to be Masons, they're just entertained by them and us as Christians, y should we spend time analysing subtleties like Lady Gaga or Jay z or lil wayne when its obvious from the beginning of their stuff that the simple stuff they did was wrong in itself. So to him Christians are wasting their time studying on symbols and Illuminati when on face value, the basic stuff rappers are on about is money, drugs, violence, fame etc. This kind of left me with a question mark bcos he does have a point although i still feel its neccessary to know the reason behind the symbols and such.
Any input on this???

Any input on this??? Alot of people don't know. This is why it's so easy for them to be lead astray. To the point that by time the realize it's too late. It's always good to be educated and aware of your surrounds and what you are feeding into your mind, soul, and body. This is why Jesus came, not only to save us but to educate us. The bible is GODS WORD... and from his WORD we are EDUCATED! He gives us the complete layout of what too look out for, and the do's and dont's. Everybody is not educated the same and some people need help. This is why I feel some people go the extra mile to expose these things so that people can become aware and hopefully be lead to GOD. Clearly this is for the benefit of people. Any real Christian doesn't want anyone to die and go to hell. Hell was made for the devil, not man. We should try to save and educate people as much as we can and turn them to Christ. He is the only way. He is the only one who can save them. Now, keep in mind... everyone isn't going to see those helpful videos and everyone is not going to die and go to heaven. That's reality. It's so sad, but, at the same time, so very true. Most people are controlled through ignorance. Not knowing. This is how so many people fall, and, get caught up. Because they don't know any better... You know how it's said... "Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is grown he will not depart from it." As Christians we would train up each other in the way of righteousness and in the way of the LORD GOD Jesus Christ. Trust and believe, the people who are using these tactics are SMART and they KNOW exactly what they are doing. Unlike the people who partake in it. Knowing is only half the battle. I hope this helps you

Another thing to keep in mind Jesus Servant is that God tells us to be wise and to be aware. How are we to do this unless He is giving us discernment about the things which are evil?
I agree with the basic premise that Christians should know that many of these entertainers are only about promoting that which is unGodly. Yet, how many professing Christians not only find themselves entangled with these things but defending them? The fact that Christians are addressing these speaks more to the poor spiritual condition of the people than anything else. If people really understood what it means to know God, then such messages would not be necessary.
Our focus should be on preaching God's words; doing what He says to do and saying what He says to say. Yet this includes exposing deeds of darkness. If something has oyu bound, God is faithful to let you know what that is so that you may be set free.

I am simply shocked about the way the enemy has used music to grip young people. I grew up listening to hip hop and r and b act that seemed innocent enough but little did my parents and I know the spirits that were being involved. In my generation I have seen it were people have developed no respect for themselves and little others. We think are bodies are a way to tease and please another/ourselves instead of realizing our bodies are the Temple of the Holy Spirit. Parents please wake up and listen to what you're children listen to. For the past almost 10 years I have "nicknamed" myself Phoenix ( if you haven't viewed the series on Beyonce and demon possesion- you will need to to recognize the point I want to make) For years it was my nicknames (about 6 i'd say) Soon after that I decided I wanted to be a singer and the name Phoenix became part of my stage name - I was even going to have my last name legally changed to this(all this time I have been a member of a church, considering myself filled with the Holy Spirit , seeking to lead a Jesus Christ pleasing life) Little did I know what kind of spirit I had open the door to. My pastor, other Christians who consider themselves mature in the Lord knew I called myself by this name and some even called me Phoenix at times (maybe jokingly-maybe not). Little did I know what I had gotten into! By 2006 Phoenix was my "alter ego" and by late 2007 I was Phoenix (that was the name I told people to call me)! Sounds familiar(again you will have had to view the series about Beyonce and demon possesion to understand my point) !!! Instead of my name being written I put the name Phoenix-a picture of the phoenix exsisted on my ms and fb page. I open up several social networking accounts under the guise of phoenix. I knew as Phonenix (aka PHX!) that I would make it to the top(why would I think this). All I was doing was contrary to scripture. This entity had taken over my life. 1st it only was a nickname, then an alter ego- then one day I awoke as Phoenix. Phoenix was who I hid behind and all the things that I planned to do that would make me a unique artist ( Covering my entire face except my left eye- which I would've told you was in tribute to the late Lisa Lopes who was a member of my favorite group ever TLC- it was nothing more than the demon Horus operating through me.) I read a book one night and I know that God had me come to Tallahassee- I had prayed for grace to move to Jacksonville but the Lord was clear that it had to be Tallahassee. After a year of running from the move I finally came. I was in the library one night and I was listening to ego(A Beyonce song) on youtube and someone had made a comment about a masonic symbol in the video. I thought they were crazy but googled it and came across the series on demon posssesion. When I saw who Phoenix really was- a demon. I rebuked it in the name of Jesus and told it to go back to the pits of hell. Immediately, I felt as though something loosened its grip on me and I could breath easier and see better. I looked at all the stupid choices I had made as a young adult and realized it was because I had given this demon place in my life. All this while I was going to church, serving in the church and called myself a devout Christian but I had compromised and allowed the devil to have a stronghold in my life. A few weeks later I met a young man who eyes and been opened. I am glad my younger sister and cousins eyes have been opened and that we can pass the world. I pray for these artists but moreover for the young people who are blind and idolize them! I realize now the error of my ways and had not I come to a strange city where everything was new to me I doubt I would've gotten the revelation. Praise the Lord for setting me free and praise God for the believers who put the information out even though people criticize them. God set me free and other captives will be set free as well. I am no longer depressed or suicidal!!!!!!!

Hi Wildflowermi,
It is wonderful to hear how God has brought you through those experiences and I know that others will be blessed mightily be hearing your testimony. Thank you for sharing it!
I have to say that when I did the pieces on Beyonce, I never thought they would become what they have. Since I do not follow popular music, I had no idea that she and Jay-Z were so influential. Yet, I know that God had a purpose for it for Him to have me do them, so I cannot help but thank and glorify Him for your victories.
I agree with you wholeheartedly. We must pray for those who are deceived, even thinking that they are serving the Lord while satan sets up devices to deceive. I also pray that God continue to raise up men and women who can speak His truths to bring people into closer relationship with Him.
Music has been largely perverted in many areas and is being used to instill values and lifestyles in people's minds that are against God. The more we are set free from that which binds us, the more we can be light unto others who are still bound.
Please continue to press on to the Lord and let Him use you as He sees fit. I pray that He continues to build you up in Him to accomplish His work.
