Rapper Nicki Minaj's Controversial Grammy Show
What this is about is something that I’ve written on before: the POWER and influence you have as an artist and the evil that wants access to that power …and why.
God has empowered creative people with His ability to use sight, sound and motion to communicate and evoke emotion.
Satan, the enemy of all people, is well aware of your God-given ability and its power and impact on people. If he can influence you to use your talent for his agenda, it can influence how people feel, think and act.
See a perfect example of this demonstrated during the 2012 Grammy Awards. See how choreographers, designers, artists, musicians and others use their abilities to express what some called blasphemous, over the line and a mockery to the Catholic church:
WARNING: View with caution…then share YOUR thoughts below. Is it too much? Are we overreacting?
I agree. I saw the entire performance, and I didn’t care for it… at all.
Thanks for chiming in, Sandra.
What gets me is that there was so much talent that went into the production…to produce something as twisted as it was.
@Amy Wood- I agree. This performer went the easy way to try to make her mark using shock. What’s interesting about this is that creative people being led by the One that originated their talent in the first place will make a MORE LASTING impression on the world around them by following God’s plans for their gift…and in many cases using much less resources and effort than what’s seen here.
Yeah, the enemy wants that gift to be used to promote his dark agenda, but the benefit for the artist is never lasting.
With so much darkness in the world, why add to it. Music can provide so much LIGHT
