I know many people think that Fantasia should be singing in the church. But i just believe that God has her right where she needs to be. Not every ministry is in the four walls of the church. She has been anointed to go in the darkness to claim souls for Christ. God is at every show touching hearts. Love you Fantasia
I just love Black people. When all of the superficial crap is moved out of the way what i see is a HIGHLY SPIRITUAL people who can praise GOD like no other people can. There is something special about the Black American people and one day all of you will see it and know it. I don't why it came over me to say this,but it did.
Instead of criticizing or judging her for singing secular music, why don't we acknowledge the fact that she has people at her secular concert who are getting a gospel ministry that might no have gotten otherwise. Maybe God is using her EXACTLY the way he intended. He does work in mysterious ways, right?
Derrick Dease You better say that, people stop judging folks. Because if you really read the word it state judge ye not let's ye be judge. This chic is awesome and talented and serving God through her songs blessings others. This is why the church losing folks now.
DD TAURUS: Amen to that. I'm am so sick and tired of the criticism. Especially our own people against each other. What happened to uplifting one another?
I went into my bathroom shut the door put this on repeat and let the tears flow.. Ms fantasia is the truth!!..she can help save many souls..she has the calling.. OMG she got it!!!!
Tasia and the back up singers wore me out!! I had to break down. Lord knows I am thankful for every little thing. Thank you father!!!! ALL THE PRAISE AND ALL OF THE GLORY BELONG TO HIM & HIM ALONE!!! AMEN He has been good to me and mine!!!
GOD HAS HER RIGHT WHERE SHE NEEDS TO BE.... some people will NEVER set foot in a church therefore God will use whoever he wants where ever he wants to ensure that he will get the glory
Ministry goes beyond the church building, this is what is known as genuine evangelism! Preaching to the already saved is nice, but going to those that have never heard Jesus Loves you, in a place where they never thought that they would hear it, now that is what you call beautiful! Stop saying that she need to come home, both God and the Church are in your heart and to be honest with you, I can't dance with my husband to gospel! The point is that God has given her a gift and she is using it ... the question is are you using the gift that He has given you! Judge not and Be Blessed!
Jay the Holy Ghost isn’t something you catch You have the Holy Ghost once you become a believer instantly the father son ans holy Ghost these 3 are one ans Christ is in uou
ppl love saying she needs to do an Gospel album while yet buying her secular album. He said where there are two or three gathered in my name so shall he find me. God meets you where you are spiritually and physically. so I'm sure he reaches souls at her shows Amen
This Song of Worship is ridiculously AWESOME!!! Worship teams worldwide should be using it to bless God's people. I have listened to this at least 30 times today. what a blessing. Thank God for the song and the instrument (Fantasia) that God used to minister it!
It's a new day a new calling a new people, when you been through. Something you can't help but praise GOD, she is real and under GODS anointing. Ask GOD for understanding before you pass judgement. Souls are hungry and lost and been through hurt and pain, these are still GODS Instruments and they are used for his glory no matter what. Keep going Fantasia I just gave my life back to GOD and I feel good.
Ms Barrino is doing exactly what the Lord has gifted her to do. " Spread the Word". Please STOP making judgement of this young woman, who has been gifted this wonderful voice. The Bible says "go forth and spread the Word".
So many people placing judgement on her for singing secular music and giving thanks to the MOST HIGH! It's a lot of gospel artist who sings songs of Zion and still live an ungodly life, but that's okay, right? One thing I can say about Fantasia is that she stands in her truth and know who has blessed her to get to where she's at in life. Whether she's in a church house or a concert venue, she takes time to recognize WHOSE she is! Keep ministering to all Fantasia!
I don't think it's " okay " but I would recommend that she's stays in the midst of Christ because he's what's keeping her. He's going to pull her through. People have to see what's unacceptable; God is going to use Fantasia and her testimony to save souls. People think it is okay to love Christ and live a secular lifestyle. God is going to prove everyone wrong, the lifestyle she lives in the future won't be this. Watch God turn her life around. This is a true revelation of his favor and undeserving grace.
Terrell Jones I just think a lot of people think in order to be used by God it requires you to be in the confines of the four walls of the church. He's using her in a capacity that others that may have never known Christ can see His work through her.
+Kel and Terrell Jones...I hear what you are saying, but the truth is this: Many will come before God and say, "Didn't I preach in Your Name; Didn't I sing in Your Name; Didn't I do this and that in Your Name?" According to the bible, God is going to tell that person to get from before Him, He never knew them! Yes, He will allow you to bring people to Him in His name, but if you haven't chosen to make a choice in Him, take a stand in Him, Make His Son Lord over your life....then, the sad truth is, you're not His! This is the plain truth: To whom much is given, much is required! We can't have it both ways...I can't...you can't...no one can! Choose you this day whom you will serve: plain and simple!
V. V. Taylor I don't know what God's assignment is for her life. God uses everyone how He sees fit. Who is to say that's not where He's using her in that capacity. I'm sure she's impacted more lives through her testimony than those who dress up during the week and on Sundays "acting" holy, saved and righteous.
She has to live in God's will for her life...not her will. She can scream & shout all she wants it means nothing if its not done for GOD! GOD has more for her but she can't receive the more until she let's go of the world and submit to HIM. Clearly...giving GOD a shout out is not his will for her life...submitting her life to him is what he wants. She has one foot in and one foot out...just like Whitney Houston.
This is why I love this young lady so much she proves that despite what obstacles try to come against you to destroy you God will allow you to overcome thru it all because we are more than conquerors thru Christ Jesus I love her and Leandria Johnson so much for their courage and perseverance!!!!!
The ANOINTING coming through the screen is incredible. Fantasia is often criticized for a lot but one thing can not be denied. The anointing on her life is massive!
+swiftjustice04, "True Calling" I think that Fantasia already walk the path God want her to walk! She's already saving souls.... Souls who will not enter the church, but they will enter her shows...Jesus Christ can work everywhere
She's ALREADY doing that! Thinking and believing that "if she were to go strictly into Gospel, she would be answering her calling"......The Gospel Industry is even MORE CORRUPT than the secular one, so TRUST AND BELIEVE, LIKE MAMA PATTI, Fantasia is right where she is supposed to be and she is definitely utilizing her gift FOR THE GREATER GOOD!!!
She coming home when that time comes she is going to be a great women of GOD and not just singing but she is called to preach the gospel. I can see the hands of god molding her for it she is learning how to deal with fame so when he brings her back to the body she will be ready for it. When she comes back she is going to bring so many souls with her. SHE IS CHOSEN.
This gurl messes me up every time. Patti Labelle, Tina Marie, Fantasia, and Susan Avery I can listen to them praise the lord all day!! HOW POWERFUL & UPLIFTING SHE IS!! You better get that victory Tasia!! :0) Leandra Johnson has one hell of a voice too!!
people often tease me about not having feelings or showing emotions, I have NEVER and I mean NEVER listen to Fantasia and not had tears in my eyes! This lady has a beautiful spirit and I thank God for her! Tina Anderson said it best. #gifted
God used you, even in the midst of a secular concert. So many people are so quick to judge someone. Not everyone goes to church, or have the desire because of hypocrites, but for those who have been fighting within themselves about giving their life to God could have possibly found him in this very concert. It's evident that the Holy Spirit showed up. Our work as ministers aren't inside the four walls of a church, but it's in the streets, concerts as such, and highways, etc. Bless you Tasia! Keep singing the praises.
+erek redmond Excellent! I live my life to be blessed to go to heaven where God enjoys gospel, R&B, country, hard rock etc. Don't want to go anytime soon but when I do! Wow.
Wow I used to say she needs to be in the church, but she is in. It is not what we think the church is, but she is reaching those who may never come to the church we think they should go but God is using her where they are. I got it my sister, I got it.
That is exactly what God does not in the church house but where it is needed someone needed to hear that. She is real and God will use that every time.
to those who would judge this sister, I would remind them of Paul's example in 1 Cor 9:19-23 where he says " Even though I am free of the demands and expectations of everyone, I have voluntarily become a servant to any and all in order to reach a wide range of people: religious, nonreligious, meticulous moralists, loose-living immoralists, the defeated, the demoralized-whoever. I didn’t take on their way of life. I kept my bearings in Christ-but I entered their world and tried to experience things from their point of view. I’ve become just about every sort of servant there is in my attempts to lead those I meet into a God-saved life. I did all this because of the Message. I didn’t just want to talk about it; I wanted to be in on it!" Keep on keeping on Fantasia!!!
The Fact that she is able to mix the two together is a blessing. and for those people in that space trust they walked out of there feeling good, even if they don't go to church or believe, god was in that space.
Thank you Lord. Thank you thank you thank you. I could've been dead but you've kept me safe. Oh I love you. Thank you and please bless and watch over Fantasia.
I've had the pleasure of knowing some of her close relatives. Fantasia tells you her story everytime she sings thank you lord. God keep her and bless Fantasia!!!!!
I need to stalk her until you release a Gospel Album. It just needs to be a Gospel Album of hymns or of all the songs she has done on stage live. I not stopping her from releasing R&B albums but she will surely make the money for Gospel. And do not get me started on the concert. People will come out in droves.
Amen, amen, amen! She is going to get there when He is ready and when the time comes and man what a day it will be! I see it clearly and she WILL BE SOLD OUT FOR JESUS CHRIST ALL THE WAY AND THEY WILL HAVE TO TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT CAUSE AT THAT POINT THEY WILL NEED HER NOT SHE NEEDING THEM! Praise the name of the Lord God of Host!
She is still young but there is a definite call on her life to minister Gospel Music; she can't get away or stay away from it. I too woul love for her to do a gospel album. For all of the those who want to be Jesus and judge her, "Judge Not." Get your life together and do the right thing and pray the same for a young sister who is gifted and talented. Stop thinking you know what is best for her life because you don't know and you certainly won't have a say in it anyway. Opinions are just that, Opinions!!!!!! Whether she is singing gospel or secular music, she received this gift of a voice from God and I pray that this instrument is used how God sees fit for her to use it. I am a Christian and I enjoy her singing both so I guess I am held bound too!!
l love fantastic she a beautiful women who been through a lot but she still standing as black women didn't finish school. That why l fighting for the best for my self and my grandchildren Thank u girl
God use her for your Glory. Keep her protected in this music industry that desires for u to compromise your integrity to help them get money. But never let Fantasia do it. Protect her family with the angels that u give charge over each individual. Let her sell out to you wholeheartedly. You say if You be lifted up, You will draw all men to You! As she lift You up in worship draw the sinner man to You that he will say, What must I do to be saved. Thank You. All Glory belongs to You!
Give it to HIM Tasia!!! Did anybody notice the band in praise mode too? That's powerful. Even when I'm in church sometimes it seems like the musicians are there just for the performance but this band recognizes it was the Lord who brought them thus far.
There are a lot of people out there that would never step foot into a church, but because of fantasia they will, because they want to know more about this God she is always singing about. God works in mysterious ways. PRAISE GOD!!
You don't know her story and pain she has experienced! Until you can walk in a person shoes and feel all those pangs! Only God knows the heart ! Man looks at the outer appearance but God searches our motives and intentions . But any who lol Fantasia I love you for who you are because you allow people into your heart! I'll keep praying for you and your family!!
Fantasia please come home to where u belong!! And that's the #MINISTRY! U are so powerful & we (the youth) need more anointed vessels as yourself. Please!!
I believe this is where she should be how many people can she bring to God in this arena. So powerful! Fantasia continue to bless the name of the Lord to the masses. No one does everything right but he will use you the way Jesus used his disciples. Not one of them was a man of God at first.
Somebody in this concert got their breakthrough. For all those who say she isn't "walking in her truth" or "she needs to answer God's call to ministry" well, Listen..... this is ministry at its finest, beyond the walls!
Fantasia...Don't Forget What God Called You to Do....Keep your Direction...Be Led By the Spirit Not by the Flesh! Always Blessed when you sing for the Kingdom!
AMEN!!!!! Fantasia is doing exactly what GOD wants her to do. She is going out to the people letting them know just how good GOD is. She always has a GOSPEL Song or just THANKING GOD..all the ones saying she needs to do a GOSPEL ALBUM, she will in GOD's time not yours. I'm sure she has sent GOD more than one soul with her testimony.. She has never forsaken GOD or denied what he has done for her. Be patient.. We always say that GOD MAY NOT COME WHEN YOU CALL HIM, BUT HE'S ALWAYS ON TIME. H
she is ministering. thats what i love about her. she acknowledge God in every concert. at least she not ashamed of the gospel unlike some of these holy rollers sitting in judgement of her
Those tears are Conviction Tasia...u know God is calling u, but u are being stubborn because u not ready. Yes it his grace and mercy that has brought u thus far, but he need u to surrender to him...I am praying for u, and I know God still answers prayer.
+Joycelyn Rice And how has she given her life to him? He that think he knows it all, knoweth not. So don't tell me to let anything go, u need to think before you type
+rmsh24ify she needs to stop fighting it and do it! but when she's tired of running she will. I remember watching her on A. I. saying that girl is gonna put out a gospel album
+Joycelyn Rice wow these negative comments. I agree with you. Fantasia has ALWAYS professed God since we've known her from her American Idol days. Besides even if she hadn't, "let he who is without sin cast the first stone" and "judge not less you be judged." You see they still listening lol
We must begin to learn how to speak truth with encouragement for all to hear and grow from. Both women are awesome, enough tearing one down to bring attention to the other, their booth gifted, bless them both, how about that "People"
