Raz B Says He "Serves Christ", Then Makes Threats and Also Calls Himself A Prophet

Ok so here we go once again. I was up, about to go to sleep and couldn't sleep then i decided to get online for a while. While on YouTube i see a video that had as the title "Imma Send Somebody To Handle That" and i noticed it was Raz B in the still pic on the vid. I thought to myself, hummmm Raz B is not "built like that" so my interest peaked and i checked it out. Normally i don't even bother with such nonsense but for some reason there was an exception this time.

The video describes how he was in China and had some sort of injury and how no one has reached out to him from his old group and how he didn't get much love from people. This wasn't necessarily the part of the video that concerned me. The part that concerned me was when at 0:20 he says "Are you really mad that i really serve Christ, despite my stumbles...where i may fall". A couple seconds before this statement he was throwing around the MF word as if it was a football. First off as "servants of Christ" we have an obligation to display Christ the way that the bible illustrates him. This is not something that we can put on and take off when we feel comfortable or when the situation calls for us to "keep it real". When Raz B said that he (and i quote) "serve Christ", i became more interested in the video because i was thinking we had another soldier on the front line for Christ. But then as the video continued, i noticed that his doctrine is a little skewed.

He goes on to say to the camera "For all of you people out there that know the truth, for the people in my past camp that know the truth. How does it feel to know that you DENIED CHRIST. How does it feel to know when you die you have to face judgement and you say, you know what...i lied on your PROPHET". John 10:14 tells us that Christ knows his own and his own know him. In order to truly know Christ there must first be a relationship. I'm not sure if Raz B knows all the duties that a Prophet has but i can assure that getting on camera and responding to brethren publicly is not one. In order to call yourself something, you must have the characteristics of that or have been proven to be that. Jeremy Lin wasn't a "star" until he began to play like one...THEN they called him a star. We give ourselves titles that we haven't RIGHTEOUSLY earned and use God as a defense when you don't have a relationship with him...just a rely. You rely on Christ for "things" but the "things" you desire are not consistent with what God's character is described as.

Then he says that God is love and that "they" wont survive because they don't have him (Raz B) there because he has God in him. Hummmm, what tangled webs we weave. Just because a person says something doesn't mean that it is the truth. If God is "in you", there HAS to be characteristics of Christ present. John 13:35 tells us that we shall know God's disciples by their love for one another. Then is 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8 it breaks down love as love is kind, patient, long suffering, it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not self-seeking. Too often do we allow people to speak on a God that we serve and quote him or display him negatively in public and far too many times we let it slide. Jude 1:3 tells us to contend for the faith.

At this point in the video i was done, i clearly noticed that he was a bit confused with what the character of a person who "serve Christ" looks like. He goes on to say that they are making a mockery of God as if he displays him in the best light possible. One thing i will agree with Raz B in this video though, its when he says "I'm not perfect, i curse, i do this and that, i drank, whatever IT DOESN'T MATTER, God knows my heart". Admittedly he confessed to a couple of things in just that one statement and i will agree that God does know your heart and it says in Jeremiah 17:9 that "the heart is DECEITFUL above all things and beyond cure". God does know you heart bro and until you give your heart to God COMPLETELY, it will continue to get the best of you.

Quoting scriptures in a video, blog or song don't make us holy or righteous or any of that but what does is the personal relationship we have with Christ. Personal don't mean, "well God understands me" and you continue to do what you want, but its a lifestyle that is pattern off the things you believe. A pastor once told me, what you believe in, you will promote. Often times our mouth and actions don't add up when it comes to Christ. We need to be aware of the things people are saying in the public about our God. They have platforms that can really damage people who think God is a feeling and not love. To completely understand even that statement, that requires a relationship.

I pray Raz B come to know Christ on a more personal level and that his love for Christ is displayed through his lifestyle and actions. Because saying that you have problems (that you don't plan to give up) AND Christ is NOWHERE in the bible i read. Cant "serve" two masters bro. Pray for tha homie.
