Phanatik and Me: Some Thoughts About His Denunciation of the Christian Faith 

My parents are from El Salvador - my father did not raise me, the streets (L.A., Hollywood) tried to raise me...one reason why the streets couldn't capture me was because - you Ambassador!. A dude I knew (year 2000) gave me a copy of Christology - I heard it and it changed my perspectives 🧠 👀... I bought (no bootleg) your albums, CM albums (still have them). My 11 year old daughter digs christology/CM. Thank you my brother. ALL glory goes to Messiah Jesus Christ! Will be keeping Phanatik in my prayers.

This beautiful put together. Love your heart here! And we need more videos. I think what’s dope, is 14:57 “science may not affirm him…historians may not affirm him” my brother I think it’s even better than that. Philosophers like William Lane Craig debate regularly how both science and history affirm the biblical Jesus.

The Cross Movement was my introduction to black hip hop when all we knew was DC Talk. I had never heard the gospel proclaimed in such a bold manner and it brought me to my knees. My prayers tonight are for Phanatik that he may find the light again and forever. Thank you to #TheAmbassador for this thorough and well-thought out response. Amen!

Thank you for making this mate. I was so grieved to hear about phanatik. I’ve been a massive cross movement fan since 2005 when I gave my life to Jesus. I still crank the songs today. He was for many years a hero that encouraged me to be bold in the faith through the songs. My faith isn’t rocked by his decisions but I do feel sad for him. Good message here and I appreciate you addressing this head on. I pray that he will come to his senses and repent and recieve Christ back

Been following you a long time Ambassador...you have certainly been graced to dive deep into doctrine and to share it in such a sound way. Thank you! This video is filled with truth, love and grace and again I say, thank you! I was introduced to Jesus as a child at the age of 7 by my mother who came out of the Jim Crow South, but I came to know him as she did for myself at 28 years of age and I am now 48. I know Him! I've encountered Him! I haven't seen Him, but I love Him! Nothing or Nobody can sway me from the lover of my soul! He abides in me and I, in Him! I found the one who my heart loves and I will never let Him Go! Ever! Period and Amen!

THIS TEACHING YOU BROUGHT JUST MADE ME FIRMER IN MY RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD JESUS CHRIST!!..BEING MORE OF AN EXAMPLE OF THE BELIEVER!!..THANK YOU FOR THIS !!!!!♥️♥️♥️

Thanks, Deuce, this was helpful in so many ways. A reminder “unless we fail the test”. A call to self-evaluation for all of us. My heart is heavy for you and those that are close to Mr. Bradley. Loved his work through the years I will keep y'all lifted up as I pray God gets glorified in this process.

The Ambassador thank you for this video. I have listened in full and I will listen again. Please continue praying for the Phanatik. It's bad enough to hear him denounce Christianity and it will be far worse if dies before returning to Christ. I've been listening to the Cross Movement since 2001 and as a result I am a Christian rapper. I pray the Holy Spirit does not let him rest until he comes back in repentance. The Gospel is real, Jesus is real, Christianity is real

love this.

What's great about your video is so many will be reaffirmed in their faith rather than drifting with those who have left from amongst us. "Where will we go? You have the words of eternal life." John 16:68

Standing firm in Christ Jesus. Thank you for sharing Ambassador. John 6:66‭-‬69 ESV "After this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him. So Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you want to go away as well?” Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.”

"if we don't stay talking Christ & learning of Christ, we will leave Christ". Deep stuff big bro. Thank you for your work in the mission field. Praying for you 🙏🏾

Love every word of this Deuce and appreciate your steadfastness over the years and clarity on the truth of the gospel. The church needed to hear this, even beyond Brady's announcement. Someone well known in the faith told me that in a difficult season, they "tried to let go of Jesus but Jesus wouldn't let go of them". They literally could feel His presence holding on to their heart and that kept them through that valley of doubt. I thought about that when you referenced this being a heart issue. Pease give our love to Michelle ❤

As a born again Christian for over 30 years, and one who has dealt with all manner of objections against the Bible and the faith, who has been homeless twice and has gone through all manner of trials, the only thing I can say is that something is clearly wrong. I would wait for him to explain things in more detail. God's Spirit does not lead to apostasy. So if anything, we know that what he is saying does not come from God. Since you cannot lose your salvation, he either is in delusion and deception and still saved, or he never was saved and was like Judas who was with Jesus and the apostles, but yet he was never truly one of the true apostles. Time will tell.

Thank you so much for your faithfulness and sound teaching brother! I will be praying for Brady and everyone who has turned and walked away from Jesus in these tough times. It hurts my heart. May the Lord be our shepherd through the valleys and a mountain tops.

I didn’t even know of him, but hearing of yet another person publicly denouncing their faith is very upsetting. Your response is what we needed to hear and edifying to the body. Thank you.

This is a great response video to Phanatik, and I hope he receives it well. Even Jesus Himself said: "You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life." (John 5:39,40) Anyone can read and recite the Bible day and night, upside down and backwards, and know every cultural context of which it includes, but if they don't KNOW Jesus, then they don't have eternal life! Relationships are about personally and intimately knowing someone, not just knowing about them.

This was amazing. One of the best teachings I have heard in a while.

I am soooo proud of all the brothers who love Phanatik but who also love Jesus enough to use this news as a cautionary tale to make much of CHRIST. I heard 1 pastor say "I cried." He also said that if there is more to come we will not allow him to be used to fleece the sheep. It is a relief to see you & other black men grounded in the WORD & speaking TRUTH to error during these last days. God bless you & your family.

What you inputted in my life was soo amazing, I was looking for Christian hip hop because I was just saved and your group The Cross Movement was there for me and as of today, I still listen to your songs, and it still hits hard, and moves me STILL. I was telling my daughter that your group was way ahead of your time for what we are going through now in this world. Thank you Thank you for listening to YHWH to direct your path and continues to keep you bring many blessings.

We are all grieving with you Brother. But we will also be interceding in prayer for Brady. 🙏🏽

Deuce Thank you for posting this. My heart is broken for Phanatik. I know 1st hand how difficult walking with Christ is at a high level. I am praying for him, you, And all of us.

This was so helpful on multiple levels. Great point about regarding him as a gentile but not as an enemy UNTIL he's openly teaching others error. That part illuminated some things for me. Grateful for how God has gifted you to handle the Scriptures in a thorough yet accessible way. It's a joy to see the way the Spirit keeps a man's personality intact and basically harnesses the whole individual for communicating His truths in a style that's uniquely owned by Him. It's so comforting to see men preach as themselves, without any hint of mimicry / pretense / clunky theological jargon. Refreshed by your gifting brother. Subscribed quickly.

I been listening to CM since day 1, still listen to them to this day. Definitely praying for Phanatik and that he seeks God for his answers. Like his song Come Home, one day Phanatik will return like the Prodigal Son.

thank you for your impact and conviction all this time! you were one of the first who showed me it was possible to infuse Jesus with hip hop!! Much love ambassador God bless you. Great to see you alive and well still speaking Gods truth!!

Thank you Duece for this video affirming the need for the believers to "endure to the end" like the scripture says so that we may be "saved" (Matthew 24:13). I am so thankful that God has put seasoned believers in our midst that in spite of their trials, still pursue Jesus diety I Peter 1:8-9.

This is really hard. I was apart of the impact movement when CM was really hot and it seemed like we were all on fire for Christ. Thank you for doing this video. Well done and I will be praying for our brother.

I was mad ppl were hounding you about responding to Phanatik’s denunciation because I just didn’t think it was your responsibility to publicly respond. However, I am SO grateful for this. Good work. Thank you so much!

I am Grateful that God has brought you back for such a time as this. God has given you a-lot to say for the times we’re living in and i look forward to hearing the Lord through you. Everyone needs to listen to the series Amba did on drifting.

All I can say is thank you from the bottom of my heart for this spirit led teaching. As a fan and brother in christ from 1996,I will say that brady's denouncing of christianity was very surprising AND DISCOURAGED ALOT IN THE FLOCK TO say the least,especially after hearing songs like PRESS ON from his incredible walk album .we really need more teachings like this. So I thank you for presenting MILK & MEAT OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES. GOD BLESS U MY BROTHER IN CHRIST .

Ice cold water, brother. In tears right now. May we all seek the Lord like never before and remember His great works.

I greatly appreciate and agree with your message, Doc! Your teaching and strengthening the body of Christ by breaking the situation down with scripture. Keep it coming, Doc, and represent Him well!

Just here to show support for Phanatik and his growth.

I thank God for you Amba. What a Word! Those that know the power of prayer, let's pray to STOP THE FUNERAL. I love you Phanatik, with the love of the Lord! COME BACK HOME.

Thanks for not misrepresenting Phanatik and putting words in his mouth but being very careful to take us back to his own words. Thanks also for sharing your optimism and brotherly love as we all could have come to the same conclusions he did. God is faithful that with every temptation, he is making a way for us to bare it and lets hope Phanatic is able to discern the mercy and goodness of God again. (As an asside, RU-vid has removed the cross and bible icons/symbols... Hmmm....)

This is what the body of Christ needs! My friends and I have been following you guys since the late 90s, thank you for being a pillar and standing strong through tests, trials and struggles!

From the heart, THANK YOU. Out of all the people who will have something to say, I'm so grateful that GOD put it in your heart to say something. I'm 57 seven years old I Re-Dedication my life to our Lord, I spent almost 32yrs in a backsliden state, When I started listing to gospel music, I was curious to know what you guy was going, Praise God y'all have a an phenomenal playlist that I listen to just about everyday, so my heart dropped when I heared about phanatik, now my heart as been encouraged after hearing you. Thanks again,

Great response. It is heartbreaking to hear a brother falling away. Pray that Jesus will open his eyes. We can hear your heart for Phanatik. God Bless!

Thank you, Duece, for sharing this. So troubling to see people "fall away," but we have to remember to continue to put Christ first, not "follow the crowd." Let Him grow our faith through the Word and sacrifice to Him! Thank you for sharing this and standing firm in the Faith!

Wow that was an incredible response brother. Thanking God for you I think it is important for those who Phanatik influenced in any way to come to faith (whether that influence was in a big or small way) that their faith isn’t nullified by Phanatik’s falling away. Phanatik did not save you or call you to Christ. If you are in Christ, Jesus saved you and God called you and the Holy Spirit has sealed you. So don’t be discouraged This video has made me put more of a guard up. I’ve been seeing more fall away and question around me and on the internet and it at times has shaken me and confused me. So I’m thankful that William posted this video and reminded me “to take heed lest I fall.” I’m realizing I need to do a heart check too

Yooo!! This goes sooooo hard! I love how your approach was so much more about the human condition and fraility of humans in the scriptures and it's Faith strengthining qualities rather than the "case for God" in the scriptures!! Very, very wise man here!! Scripture was meant to condition "Faith" rather than our "theological conscience".. Man.. This was articulated so beautiful and with so much love.. I am now an even larger fan of your ministry listening to this!! Even though I already knew you were "the guy" haha! Cleared up some of my own "concious concerns" and feel I can listen to his concerns with more assurity.. It was a bit scary to imagine going into a conversation like this with a brother that you have soooo much respect for. I already had a feeling this is a heart and mind war.. This has helped tremendously in reassurance to lean on that strong foundation before opening myself up too much! Thanks my brother!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am so glad you are as rooted in Christ as you are. Listened to you guys in the 90s and early 2000s all the time while in college and med school. So deeply saddened by learning what happened to Phanatik last night (i.e., I just came across it for the first time last night - couldn't believe it). So, looked you up today. You're still as strong as ever. I needed to hear that! Thank you!

Brother Ambassador, so saddened to hear about what Phanatik is going through, right now. At the age of 22, the light of God’s Word illuminated my heart. Love how you responded to our precious Phanatik, not with your opinion, but with the Word. We will never receive life, purpose, or joy from this world. Only the Word does all of that.

Thank you the Ambassador for you detailed response. I had a similar experience though I never attended Seminary. It was in 2002, I was in my room studying the Bible when a voice spoke doubt into my mind. It questioned the character and intentions of God. I was perplexed. The thought accused God of being behind all the evil in the world and taking pleasure playing men. It was adamant and I thought I was the one thinking those thoughts. I couldn't read my Bible for days because of this doubt. When I attended Church meetings, I felt disconnected and thought the whole thing was a sham. This thought persisted for about a week. I couldn't pray anymore. I couldn't even mention my doubts to God. At a point, I couldn't take it any longer. I rebuked the thoughts and I said, I'm not leaving God. Let Him be all the evil and play me all He wants. There's no other God but Him. I'll rather die by His hands than depart from Him. Immediately, the doubts ceased. My mind felt light and I could cry to God. I opened up my heart to God in prayer and I felt revived. Years later, when I remember that event, I understood what was going on. I later read a book by Kenneth Hagin titled The Triumphant Church. At about that same period, one of my Church elders gave me the book. I read of how a demon deceived a pastor's wife by persistently making suggestions to her and she eventually caved in. It eventually possessed her and used her against her husband. It was terrifying to learn demons can access our minds, giving us the impression it's our own thoughts. I couldn't read through the whole book but I realised I was exposed to the same test. This world is a battle ground. It is not a playground. Only those who know Christ intimately will survive the last days of this age. Let's not give up on Phanatik.

I am praying for him. I will never stop loving the Lord and living for Jesus. There is no life without Christ.

I’m pressing forward, I am going to press in the sweet name of Jesus!! Thank you brother!! I see what it looks like.

I'm very thankful for this teaching, though it comes out of the soil of you and your friends' deep grief. May the Lord make gracious fruit come from this soil. He will do it!

Thanks Bro. I've always appreciated and have been encouraged by the work you guys have done. This is bad news for sure. We'll pray. And we the church still sing: "I have decided to follow Jesus! No turning back, .. no turning back!"

Hearing this breaks my heart😌 “They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, so that it would be evident that they all are not of us.” -1 John 2:19

I appreciate this video, brother. I’ve been a CM fan since Holy Culture came out and you guys are still my favorite whether all together or solo. Anyway, I didn’t know about this until a few days ago when my son, who grew up hearing CM because of me, started purchasing your albums and he told me about Phanatik turning away from the Faith. I was shocked and began searching for videos. I pray he returns to Christ. Again, thank you for this and your years of ministry.

Deuce!! You response was much needed!! I pray this goes as viral as did the video necessitating this response!!

By far the most prolific and profound response to this timely but untimely testimony of a brother beloved. Further, it holds to increase the faith of believers to continue and contend richly for that which we believe. Blessings, grace, and peace to you my brother for your obedience to the spirit to speak to us on this wise.

I am totally convinced that there is no other way. And so I pray that we all continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of the LORD JESUS CHRIST!

Thank you for this. I pray this video will be of encouragement and of a reminder for Gods people in these times where many are falling away.

I just found this out while studying tonight. This breaks my heart n tears come to my eyes. I always listen to cmr before I study the word. I am so saddened. N will pray that God calls my brother.

Pastor Branch... You and the whole crew, sowed seeds of faith into me and my children, since 2005. That includes Phanatik. It's funny how God will use you, while you are going through your questions and doubts. Use you in a way that literally saves souls. This is why no one can ever take away what Phanatik has done. Nor what any Christian has done through the spirit, away from them. For the record phanatik said "he's not leaving the universal church I believe. God is still working on him. Let's let God cook! I love you my brother for your unwavering faithfulness to christ and the people of God. And literally for sowing seeds that saved my family back in 05 when, while in the military in Okinawa Japan. I almost gave up on my family and God. But here came the Cross Movement. Injecting themselves into my ear gate, over the carnal music I was listening to. Injecting God into my situation. You have no idea how important you guys have been to family and the Church as a whole! If no one tells you regularly.... I want to say THANK YOU,

Perfect message! We are in the midst, I believe, in the Great Falling Away. Stay firm in the Lord, and endure until the end to make your election sure.

You are needed @ambassador. Thank you.

Thank you for this breakdown brother. It convicted me to dig deeper into the scriptures to solidify my faith.

Good teaching sir. I hadn't heard this about Phanatik. I pray for him and all other believers who are questioning their faith.

God bless Amba !!!! Keep teaching for Christ. Grace & Peace unto you my brother.

Awesome. May the Lord bless you for this message. That line about the devil always tempting us with "Hath God said?" Oh, Lord..

That news made me cry i center my life around christ and people who did the same cause i didnt want to fall way but i praying he return back. Book of Timothy said in the last days many will turn away from their faith we got to keep each other in prayers

Amen 🙏 faith to faith my brother . May the spirit of the Lord be nigh unto you.

2 Timothy 2:11-13 The saying is trustworthy: If we have died with Him, we will also live with Him; if we endure, we will also reign with Him; if we deny Him, He also will deny us; if we are faithless, He remains faithful- for He cannot deny Himself.

That was the point that stood out the most from Phanatik’s video was that he was not in his Bible. You can’t see without the light of God’s word nor discern what you’re up against it. Glad you spent time on that because that was the root cause for Phanatik falling away in my opinion.

First Jahaziel now Phanatik, the devil is working hard family. Stay in your word ( IJN )

This was a breath of fresh air love the perspective and the way you broke everything down bro

CM introduced me to gospel hipop in the mid 2000s. Thanks for the honest response. God bless all the members of The Cross Movement!

Born in 1968...I was born in Chester, PA. I joined the US Marine Corps in 1986, and the LORD Saved me in 1987. I grew up, loving HIP HOP, but as a Christian, I was conflicted with the lyrics of many of the artists that I grew up with. I remember desiring good Christian Hip Hop. One day, a brother in my church gave me a Crossmovement CD, and I was hooked. I was inspired in my walk, and the "Phanatic" had a major impact on that. I have been serving the LORD for almost 35 years now, and one thing that I have learned...GOD is always true! At the core of every willful "Falling Away" is pride. GOD is no respecter of man, no matter how famous, intelligent, etc. HE will not be debtor to any man. Paul counted everything that he obtained a Pharisee as dung...We must do the same, or we too will succumb to the allure of PRIDE. (I was inspired to write this song in 1990 by the impact of Crossmovement on my life): Amazing Grace Prelude: I was blinded by the allure of the World. Hypnotized by Her glory. The World said that it could make me wise. The World promised to fulfill all of my hidden desires. So I ate! I felt an indescribable rush that raised me to the highest peak. Without warning, the World pulled herself from beneath my feet. I came crashing to the ground like an unmanned plane. My joy turned to sadness, and my soul longed to be quenched. Who can save me? Verse 1: Like a chameleon, I blended into every scene. Religious, a scholar, the ladies dream. I took the wide road; it was the way of choice. I ran away from the narrow to avoid HIS voice. Conscience seared like a steak on the grill of sin. Runnin’ blind in a race that I couldn’t win. Then a voice said, “I’m the Beginning and End. The Alpha and Omega. I’m man’s best friend.” HE said, “Hey man, I know what you’re going through.” HE showed a nailed scarred hand and said, “This Blood’s for you!” I felt the weight of my sin pressing on my chest. HE said, “my yoke is easy, I came to give you rest. I fell to my knees, and asked the SAVIOR in. Kicked the World to the curb; I got a new best friend. JESUS saved a life I was ready to waste. It wasn’t Oprah, Dr. Laura…I was saved by Amazing Grace… Chorus: Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now I’m found. I was blind, but now I see. Faith is the core of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Give your life to CHRIST and in HIM you’ll find, everything that you’ll ever need. Verse 2: There were so many things, I didn’t understand; about how I’m gonna make it to the Promised Land. HE said, “Don’t waste your time with foolish strife. Follow Me! I am the Way, the Truth and the Life.” There’s only one lawyer for the souls of men. It’s not Buddha, not Mohammed, but the GREAT I AM. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word HE be. HE’s more than a baby under a Christmas tree. With a Word He created everything that has breath. In HIM there’s life, and without HIM there’s death. “For GOD so loved the World, the HE gave HIS only SON; but man loved his darkness and decided to run. JESUS stands at the door, to give us a choice. If you have an ear, listen to HIS voice. Give you life to HIM, and your sins HE’ll erase. No man is saved by works; it’s only by Amazing Grace… Chorus: Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now I’m found. I was blind, but now I see. Faith is the core of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Give your life to CHRIST and in HIM you’ll find, everything that you’ll ever need. Verse 3: Through Christ, GOD’s judgment has been appeased. The fool says in his heart…Yo! I don’t believe. GOD’s a GOD of Love, and HE gave us a will. We can choose to follow HIM, or we can choose to chill. There are no back roads, you can’t ride the fence. Jesus said, “You either for me, or against.” The Bible is clear, “JESUS is the only way.” Make a decision who you’ll serve…Please don’t delay. With you heart you belief, and your mouth confess; JESUS as LORD, and HE’ll do the rest. A life in CHRIST is sweet. Come and take a taste. Repent of your sins and experience Amazing Grace… Chorus: Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now I’m found. I was blind, but now I see. Faith is the core of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Give your life to CHRIST and in HIM you’ll find, everything that you’ll ever need.

Didn't know you had a channel......just needed to let you know......your lyricism back when I first got saved back in 97 98 held me down......and inspired me......Salute......and much love.......concerning this video.....this is heartbreaking....praying that it's a Peter situation and not a Apostasy situation....

Brother thank you for this and thank you for the music that still moves me to weeping at the truth it proclaims.

My brotha!...I pray the Lord continues to pour out more oil in your heart for the Holy Spirit to bring to a firey flame. This is sound wisdom for the family of faith; Girding some and affirming others, saving some and warning others! This teaching of the scriptures will be more and more necessary as sin and sinners wax worse and worse and as the time move along as it is written.

Been listening to you guys for like 23 years. Loved heavens mentality so much. For me it was life changing. So much better talentwise than the "golden" age hip hop happening at the time too.

Glory to God! Hallelujah! This was beautiful, big brother Deuce. Thank you for your compassion, conviction, and clarity. Embracing the Scriptures with childlike faith is a work of the Spirit of GOD. Let us pray for those who are deconstructing and reconstructing. Let us preach the Gospel with love and authority. Let us trust The Father while His Spirit does the work. #holiness1st #tilwereunderdaearth #keepgoingfwd

1st of all I am a witness to the Growth of Crossmovement!!!! When I was on my Road to Damascus, JESUS put HEAVENS MENTALITY in my path and every member of the Crossmovement Sounded like a favorite Hip Hop artist I currently was listening to! I was just coming off of Losing my mother in 1996! I want to say THANK GOD AND THANK YOU CROSSMOVEMENT FOR BEING OBEDIENT IN SPREADING THE GOSPEL because it helped reach this lost soul at a crucial time in my life where I was doing hip hop for the world and was given offers from the Illuminati but I turned it down because I knew i would be selling my soul even tho I was still wet behind the ears and had much to learn in Christ, the industry and Life in general! I was only 19! Since then I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME IN MY GROUP (of 3) I NOW STAND ALONE (with the Gain of my REAL Brother whom I prayed for and was Recording in his studio before he was Saved) STILL STANDING STRONG BECAUSE MY EXPERIENCE WITH JESUS IN DEALING WITH A WOMEN WITH A DEMON OUTWAYS ANYTHING ANYONE CAN TELL ME AGAINST JESUS AND THE BIBLE!!!!! ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS IF DEMONS TRIMBLE AT THE NAME OF JESUS? Then we should probably spend our whole life learning about him, LOVING HIM AND ENDURING TILL THE TIME HE RETURNS!!!!!

Thank you for this word Deuce. Sobering and encouraging at the same time. I will continue to pray.

Brother!!!! It took a while for me to pay attention to who you was! I was introduced to gospel rap through the song "gimme dat" yrs ago and I grew up in church and I thought you was cold. I had not fully experienced Jesus at that time but yrzzzzzzzz later He got a hold of me and I am a man of God without excuse. Keep praying for Phanatik, God got a way of opening a door and I believe with you that he gone be fine. God bless u

Wow the enemy is soo sneaky, he literally fed me da lie today saying “it must not have been God when x, y, z miracle happened, you were talking to the air, it wasn’t really His provision” that was a lie! God NEVER withholds ANY good thing from His children, He is El-Roi, the God who sees me (us). Thank you Lord Jesus for your provision, thank you for not leaving or forsaking us, thank you for your truth which is THE truth and apart from you there is nothing, thank you Lord that Your word is true, thank you God for your Grace and mercy 💕

Man I just saw this... Looked on Phanatik's FB... My heart is heavy bro. Got me remembering all the major albums CM did together. This is unbelievable and side-swiping. We've been seeing more and more pastors fall to the enemy as well. We (the Church) need to keep steadfastly in prayer as things only continue to get tougher. Never let your guard down homie.

Appreciate you bro and love the way you articulate scripture and spit that knowledge of Christ. Christian hip hop was one of the biggest tools God used to draw me close to Him when I first got saved end of 97 beginning of 98. It’s sad to see “P” is denying the faith he once believed and followed. Kevin Max of DC Talk has done the same now as well along with many others like Jennifer Knapp and Ray Boltz who are both professing homosexuals now. Jesus said that the love of many would grow cold in the last days and would even deny the Lord and we are seeing just that. Jesus is coming so soon and I pray that the sheep that have wondered away return to the fold before it’s too late. BTW…Christology was hands down the best Christian Hip Hop album of all time.

Well said Ambassador I’ve been a fan for years we must hold to the confession of our faith in the Lord continue the good work God bless you and your family 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💯💪🏾👑

Thanks the ambassador. I pray that the phanatik comes back to the Lord. Press on by phanatik is one of my favorite songs..in the song he even said I don't wanna preach to others and I myself get disqualified

I just want to say... I'm a white boy from DC. Your music makes me want to cry (in a good way!). You've done important work. But the spirit is in your music and its still touching me. Beautiful group.

This was excellent. Thank you for the discourse Brother Duce. Love your heart for the people of God and exposing the dangerous course your friend has embarked in in a living but firm way. We must hold firm to what we believe!

God is separating the goats from the sheeps... let the doubts come through... Pray for him and others like him... Blessings family

I've been a fan for a long time, Deuce. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom, your conviction and your love for God and your friend, Brady. Praying that Phanatik will find His foundation again in Christ soon. God bless you!

Excellent stuff. And thank you for stating that he’s not our enemy yet. I’ve heard people already put him in that category. Too soon for that. Wild times all around but God’s goodness and presence remains. Stay in Him everyone.

Ambassador you did an absolutely wonderful job clarifying the word spoken by Brady by way of reasoning through the scriptures challenging other members in the body to think theologically in their views concerning his views. Oh how I would love to talk to you. I love your heart for the Lord💯 Stay strong and steadfast my brother for the race is not giving to the Swift or the strong but the one who truly endorse to the end; not that we persevere in order to be save but that we persevere because we are saved. May the grace of our Lord continue to be with you and all of our brothers and sisters who in the midst of this great apostasy stand firm in THE ONE who has called us for such a time as this. Love you brother ❤️ REPRESENTING CHRIST4LIFE!!!!!

❤️❤️❤️ facts bro, that’s why I always say stick to the script…..Scripture that is and in doing so we will hold on to Christ. As the disciples asked Jesus when he told them to go away and they said “But where else can we go if You are the Only way” the Spirit is willing the flesh is weak, which is why we give no provision to the flesh. Cling to Him, Cling to Scriptures, God Bless all the saints in Christ!

Aye bro, took my time to listen to every drop since yesterday and finished today. I’m glad you poured out and made it lengthy. So many nuggets, reminders, and soul food. Thank you bro. Praying this sobers us up. 🙏🏾 If no one needed it to be this long, I did.

Amen! Excellent response in every way. You dealt with what was actually said. You defended the scripture with scripture. You drew attention to the heart. You gave God all the glory for salvation and perseverance. You made the conversation about the text, instead of focusing on your own thoughts, feelings, and experiences. This is the example we all need. Thank you for not cutting it short, for preparing in advance instead of free-styling, and for letting the Word speak instead of your own heart. I'll see you in the kingdom, brother!

Just pray for your brother to come back and he will God bless and I love you Ambassador live for ❤ amba you have helped me to become more serious with Christ and God called me to be a Christian ✝️ mc and spread the word of God to the last generations i put all my secular rap in the trash 🗑 now I listen to Crossmovement and others like sons of intellect and corey red & precise and I keep myself at church mode and stay away from sin so I can have better fellowship and peace from Jesus ❤

Brother, brother, brother, as a now 54 year old "brother [by melanin and especially by the Father]"; one has grown up with you and CrossMovement, one who is also finishing seminary right now, my heart is truly hurt beyond measure. I love Brady and am praying for him. I'm so glad he has come clean. My prayer now is that he no longer keep the Word closed and re-open his heart and let God back in, through the Word and through those who can, and will, minister to him according to the will of God. Thanks for all you have done in Christ, for God's glory, in order to proclaim the kingdom and edify the brethren.

You have to know how much CM influenced my growth as a black musical man. A black musical gospel loving-living man from Long Island NY who saw you live in a record store once. I miss CM all the time. Grace & Power ❤️

I grew up listening to all these brothas love all these brothas they showed me in 2000 that rapping about christ was possible never had heard of that before ambassador still to this day has one of the coldest still relevantChristian hip hop albums with the green cover I've ever heard I agree let's let phanatik tell us what his path will be but I can almost assure all those that see this as the most high turned me in a different direction he did the same for phanatik and showed him the same things he showed me this is the time of separation that christ talked about in order to keep to himself the chosen for his army christ didn't come for the Christians nor was his people Christians what were they christ told his disciples go not to the gentiles but instead go to the children of Israel I can almost assure you he has been introduced to the undeniable truth is blacks in America are of the tribe of Judah one of the 12 tribes we are not Christians we are Israelites this is the time of God waking up his people and so many of us have to choose leaving what we have been taught most of our lives many lies from the Christian church to follow the true christ who was black according to revelations who came from the bloodline of David who was black who son Solomon said himself he was black little tidbits of only God revealingwho we are Dueteronomy 28 tells us we would be brought to a new Egypt in ships America is the new Egypt we are the real jews short for Judah we are Gods people waking up for the end time battle not to hate white people or any people jew or gentile all who believe in the true Christ will be saved his name is Yashaya exodus 3:14 God revealed his name to Moses I Am that I Am that means his name is Ahayah the God of creation and God of the Israelites there are many God's ofwho are fallen angels but one above them all his name is not yahweh,elohim,jehova no Ahayah his son name is not Jesus that's Ceasar's christ study his name is Yashaya I pray for all these brothas I pray for phanatik and all those in this time the battle has been on since the beginning of creation christ will not come for peace but war many will have to choose the narrow path or the broad one these vaccinations are for Satan's army those who choose it oppose christ choose the path of righteousness we are almost at the end lines are being drawn sides have to be decided you soon can't play the fence

Strong times create strong men, strong men create easy times, easy times create weak men and weak men create hard times." This hits hard.

Mannn keep the faith brother! I wish you could post more videos like this! Love hearing you preach man! So good! We need more people like you in this world

This is very very well done and SOUND doctrine mind you. Thanks for sharing this! The Body at large needs this!

And that’s the right way to view scriptures. Just because folks had doubt does not mean it should be a normative experience. There was a time that I fell away to chase the lust of my flesh. I will say that I never stop believing the Bible was true , but there was a moment when the Holy Spirit helped me to understand the real definition of believe. At that moment I began to change. If I believe , I live it. I pray that his heart has not hardened to no return. I pray that you who are wrestling with doubt that you draw closer to Christ, pray more, think on the good things of God. I lot of time our lack of intimacy with him creates issues with our faith. Anyway thanks for the message today. You have a new subscriber.
