Matthew 6:22-23 “The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness! Psalm 119:37 Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things; and give me life in your ways
I heard not too long ago Chris Tucker refused to do another Friday movie because he decided it didn’t honor the Lord.. Today I heard him talking on the gospel radio station and how he was talking about his and his family’s love for the Lord.. 🙏🏽
Love and Basketball fed the spirit of lust that was upon me as a teenager, would daydream about the experience until it lost its appeal. Children needs to guide their eye gate. A lot of what was promoted and glorified in those movies shaped my thinking and idea of relationships back then.
I mean dont agree, thats fine. But its on his older interviews. It was first bcause of the pay. Lol. And then he changed and found god a few years later. Which im glad he did though. But the timeline wasnt accurate. Thats all
I know that the Lord is changing me because now if I see anything on TV or movies like this, I feel it in my spirit how wrong it is. It hurts my ears if someone around me cusses, when I used to cuss as well but thankfully I’ve been delivered.
Pray for me that I stop cussing and that my ears become sensitive to it like that. My ears are becoming sensitive to other things. But with cussing, I think it’s childish. And children do it to fit in with the world. That’s why I started it when I was a kid. Then it developed to a bad habit. Pray for me please 🙏🏽
Me too with the language. There are movies I watched in the past AND NOW I catch the "G-damns!" I didn't hear them before. 😮 So my ears have become more sensitive. I change the channel.
Some years ago I got me "smart" TV only to never to watch it 😂 I can hang towel on it tho😂😂😂I cant stand holyweird movies, nor rap, nor anything else, besides animals and travel. I am so far gone from the world, I feel feral 😂 but I have peace in my life and I have time to speak to Lord 🙏🏻👑🕊️💜💚💞
That’s why I had to stop watching Love n Hip Hop, Sista’s, RHOA etc. because spirit of drama and lust was manifesting in my life. Thank you sister for this video. Praise Jesus for continuing to expose the culture. Amen.
Omg yessss! I just deleted all those shows and DVR recordings. I’m trying to rid all of reality tv because I’m seeing none of it is good or maybe just a little.
Yes, I just tried to watch sistas this past weekend after not watching ever since a fast in January and I just couldn't get into it I said I wanted to watch set it off never even turned it on and haven't had an interest in it really. I stopped watching love n hip hop and RHOA years ago it just got to be too much drama for me. Thank you for this
Chiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii I used to LOVE ME SOME Love and hip-hop and the bad girl's club😢😢 BUT GOD has changed my nature and my desires... I was like how are they rich?!? I was jealous but NOT ANY MORE!! The blessing of the Lord maketh rich and HE and NO SORROW to it.
@@alishajones9348 Hi! is that the one where the rapture happens and there are some people left in church like the pastor's daughter who thought she was saved yikes, yes that movie was thought provoking. I'm watching it again right now!
I wanted to watch that movie but I knew it was a no for me because I heard Kelly talk about it. Lord let's not talk about all Tyler Perry shows I have watched...the have and have nots.
It's Entertainment! If you can't understand the difference between Entertainment and Reality, something is wrong. Why are Black people the only people that try to connect everything? No other race of people does this. Are we the only people who can't have all kinds of Entertainment?
How did these movie contribute greatly??? That’s not accurate at all, according to me. The music industry, and it’s glorification of violence in black artists music was a bigger contributor. Bro, Chicago in the late 60’s n 70’s had gangs, and they were pretty violent. The crops n bloods had warfare in the early 80’s in LA. The black community was targeted, and it’s always been that way. These movies depict circumstances, and events that took place using fictional characters to tell stories. Violence was glorified in alot of things, but the damage was done. Single parent homes were also a huge part in all this. When 2 parents contribute to the child’s upbringing it really matters.
@@ronaldmcdonaldjuniorghostno our people are ready for this conversation. It’s all about attitude, presentation, and learning to understand each other. The Bible says if you want to be understood, you must 1st learn, and understand those around you. It’s not about you, being understood, as I am interpreting the meaning. As a child of God, you have patience, understanding, love, etc (fruit of the spirit), placing you ahead of the masses, on a spiritual level of growth. As a person in such a position, the masses need our compassion, and teachings, for love unconditional. “Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry” (James 1:19). We should be, but we aren’t. There are others verses on understanding others 1st. If you’re interested I’m sure you will seek. If you have any problems, let me know, and I will be here to assist.
@@roblear9393 I watched so many that eventually I started to see them for what they really were. I started seeing the bigger picture and the messages they PROJECTED on the masses
My friend that I used to hang out with all she wanted to do was go to the movies and I told her that we should just walk around them all but she's still set on saying movies. So I stopped hanging out with her. I was trying to find something else mutually be able to do together but she always just wants to see a movie and they are crazy expensive now! A lot of the movies she wants to see have violence, gangs similar to the mafia, murders and witchcraft! We rarely talk now and I no longer consider her a friend. I'm just not into that stuff anymore...
Same for me too. I watched all those movies back in the day. I got saved in Jesus Christ and I no longer have a desire to watch television shows and movies that are ungodly.
I definitely felt conviction when you spoke of big mama and her diabetes. That is me. I’m 32 and Even though I’m diabetic I still eat terribly, knowing better and not honoring God’s temple. I also struggle with the spirit of gluttony when it comes to food. Thank you for speaking on this. I know I need to take this more serious than I do. Please pray for me
I’m too am overcoming gluttony. I googled Bible verses for gluttony and it’s like at least 15 or more!!! Read those verses everyday and command that the spirit of gluttony FLEE!! The Word says that we have the power to cast out demons! Rise up sis and let the enemy know who you are and whose you are!!!
It’s crazy how we have been deceived into believing almost all of these movies were harmless. The Lord is really in the process of cleaning up His bride and there will be many who dismiss revelation like this video as insignificant. Thank you Lala for your obedience in sharing this insight from The Lord. This really brings the scripture “a little Leven spoils the whole lump” into greater understanding.
In 2008 The LORD sequestered me from T.V., film, video, mainstream music, etc. I don’t own a television and don’t go to movies unless The Holy Spirit releases me to go and see a particular project where he desires to reveal something to me. The movies you have listed are movies have also watched, but now are very difficult for me to digest. For those who are struggling with letting the things of the world go, ask the Holy Spirit to do the work in you and before you know it, you won’t have a desire for these things. Thank you so much, My Precious Sister for doing this video!
I have not seen these movies in more than 20 years! I did not realize many of the small details i overlooked when I watched it several years ago but wow! Most entertainment out of hollywood celebrates the profane. Now I understand why grandma only watched Wheel of Fortune and read her bible. Totally get it now. We need to careful that our eyes are not darkened by the spirit of the world.
Apart from the LGBT theme. Can we really ignore that our ancestors were subjected to these conditions during slavery and segregation era ? These were their realities and it's important to learn and understand our history so as not to repeat it but I didn't believe a remake was necessary
The movie overall is ok. But would not see again. I would have never went to see that movie if it was not on the agenda for my family to go see on Christmas.
I used to watch Madea movies all the time. I thought they were good to watch because of the message within. Yet, later I was convicted that there are things in them that do not honor God. It's such a a shame because I admired Tyler Perry but he slowly slipped into worldly ideas. I also enjoyed movies like Friday and the old Color Purple. I recently abandoned watching horror movies. The Lord convicted me of defiling my eyes and ears with secular movies and music. We must be spiritually awake and vigilant. We must keep no door open to the devil.
Long comment warning: LaLa, I can’t lie I was hurt when you called out some of my favs! However, I am always in awe of your obedience. It inspires me! I do wanna add my personal testimony with the new Color Purple. I had wanted to see it so bad and had every intention too. One night I had a dream in which they were dancing in Africa (like the commercials) and all of a sudden the word “WITCHCRAFT” flashed boldly in front of the dancers. I woke up and settled into my heart that I wasn’t gonna watch it. Then, a few weeks later I dreamed of 1 Sam 15, where the Lord rejected Saul because of his disobedience. That same day I had an opportunity to see the Color Purple -for free AND before others- at an official pre-premiere event. I initially said yes, but The Holy Spirit wouldn’t let me rest so I had to say no. I share this not to boast, but to come into agreement with you that God is good. And His “no” is rooted in love. I couldn’t understand it at the time but so much has come out about the movie that it makes sense. I haven’t even watched the old one and that was a favorite of mine! To be fully honest, I’m gonna have to pray about Friday specifically because I absolutely love it! However- if God says no, it’s a wrap. Once again, thank you for always being a vessel. Sidenote- you look like a Princess in this video!
And Taraji and some of the cast said they had to channel in with their ancestors and use chakras for inspiration for the characters. That right there was enough to convince me not to watch this movie.
What do you mean "if God says no about watching the movie Friday, smh, you already know not to watch that filthy movie, especially since La La named Friday a ungodly movie. Girl gone with that, smh
Thank God, finally someone who is speaking the truth to God's people! Go LaLa! The Holy Spirit convicted me years ago that Christians shouldn't be watching TV or movies with sex, nudity, murder, excessive violence, vulgarity, and extreme profanity. He told me to unplug from the world.
@@nikkit2843 there are too many healthier distraction in this life on tv for those who dont want to be perverted...but you decide to choose that your flesh desires instead of your spirit...
@@nikkit2843There’s also good, wholesome, Godly books to read- especially the Bible which can be read over and over and discover something new. Solo dates and travel with God is also great things to add to social life. Life isn’t all about ‘worldly entertainment!
I don’t know, I have mixed feelings. I do agree that we have to be mindful of the things we’re watching and listening to, but at the same time, I feel that we’re looking for conspiracies in everything. I’m not saying you’re wrong, but I go back-and-forth.
When I told people I’ve only watched some of these movies once I was looked at sideways but I’ve always been super sensitive to violent/degrading movies and I didn’t understand why until I started walking with the Lord.
And the black TV shows are full of sex. When people talk about the popular shows I am quiet because I don't watch them. I know we grown but as a child of God somethings you just shouldn't dwell on. God tells us to guard our ear gate, eye gate (I'm paraphrasing..don't know the exact scripture). We have to be on our Ps and Qs. We all fall short. We have freewill and just like we turn to these things we can turn from them. Praying for strength and spirit of discernment for all of us. #weloveyouLord 🙌❤️
Especially when everybody was watching Power. I watched it a few episodes and a spirit of lust came on me. I had to stop watching it. If a movie says it's rated R now a days, I definitely don't watch it or go see it.
@@spekialcay1me finding a show: “this seems cool.” First episode has a gay scene or a transgender “Bruh I can’t catch a break” I’m learning animation to make my own stuff Already know I’m gonna get attacked by the LGBTQ
I wasn’t allowed to watch a lot of these movies as a kid and still haven’t seen many of them til this day. When I finally saw movies like poetic justice and players club I couldn’t figure out why they were so popular and I was actually very disturbed.
Players club was like a low grade video from the start with a thin story line ,undressed women, rebellion, degradation of women and literally no storyline. And just bad quality
LaLa thank you for your content! I also appreciate your sense of humor. Another movie I realize was demonic was my “favorite movie” for decades…Love Jones. It wasn’t until the last couple of years of me coming to understand witchcraft and voodoo, etc. that I remembered a couple of lines Darius said in the movie. During his spoken word piece “A Blues for Nina” he mentioned Oshun (a Yoruba goddess/diety). Later after he slept with Nina, he was talking to his friend Savon and said “she put the…Santeria, the Yoruba, all of that. She put it on me.” I use to quote this movie from start to finish, with no clue about the meanings behind these words. Thank you Lord for opening our eyes and the knowledge being shared.
I just realized that too recently and it hurt my heart because that was my absolute favorite movie since I was 17 years old when it first came out. I have watched it over 50 times smh and when I finally realized what he was saying and talking about in that poem and the conversation with Savaugn, I can never watch that movie again 😢
Yesss!! We gotta start seeing ourselves first and foremost as children of GOD in Jesus name, thus brothers and sisters struggling with the same ol demons
I remember watching baby boy for the first time when I was about 25 in a spirit came out of my phone and went into my house and calls all kind of drama after that. I didn’t even finish watching it because I physically felt when it came out of the screen. There are so many broken people and families because of all of these movies that we are watching and consuming.
"Wow. That's was one of millions of us favorites. I had the DVD and watched it hundreds of times on cable. Gotta let that go, I been done with that. I love 💖💖 all the actors from them Forever though. "
Like Pastor Stephanie Ike said “In the spiritual world there is no gray area. Either you’re building up the kingdom of light or the kingdom of darkness.” I don’t know what to watch for entertainment these days lol. 😅
@@lolagunz I enjoy watching sports. Especially college. But in this chapter of my life I’m happy with going to church, work, and the gym. If it comes between me and the Lord I don’t want it.
I’d say with Boyz in the hood It’s not a movie that every audience can understand. It started off with kids because that’s when the cycle starts. It made it more realistic Because their are kids who are brought up and surrounded by violence who become accustomed to it. It becomes normal for them. You are definitely right about the Sexual immorality. And that’s why Girls and boys shouldn’t be left alone in a room for that long together. Ricky’s death was tragic because he was the least you would expect to die. But that’s the realness of it. I didn’t take the movie as glorifying VIOLENCE. But rather showing THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS when you engage in certain conversations you shouldn’t be in, hanging around the wrong influences, being in wrong the places etc. GO TO SCHOOL, LISTEN TO YOUR PARENTS, AND HAVE SOMETHING GOING FOR YOU. STAY AWAY FROM THE STREETS and away from people who’s feet rush to evil. Cuz you never know you may get caught in the cross fire. And end up paying the price for something you didn’t ask for.
everyone stuck on showing "what happens" when a majority of blacks are doing fine and not living that way is ridiculous because the kids who it happens to don't have any other outlet. TV is supposed to be the place they can look at what actually IS normal, not what their normal is, so they have something else to aspire to. I was one of those kids living in a horrible environment. Thank GOD for shows like A Different World, Sister Sister, Different Strokes, Family Matters, even Fresh Prince. My own teacher who I had a 4.0 in her class told me when I came back to visit her that she was thankful I didn't become a statistic. That's how bad the neighborhood was.
@@Ginger_Spicy_Candor Well see that movie came out in the 90s and the movie was very relatable to many. Ricky the character who got shot up was someone who had the highest test scores. He was good at football he was thinking about going to the military. He wasn’t actually involved in the criminal activity but because he was around people who were he did end up dying and missing all the opportunities that were waiting for him. I didn’t grow up the way they did. I grew up watching Disney shows and Nickelodeon. But I watch the movie and still take the lesson from the movie. It’s not just about being from the hood, growing up in the hood, violence and murder It’s a more deeper principle that anyone can apply to their life it’s all about how you look at it.
I see what you’re saying that it’s how you look at somethings. By the grace of God, being the youngest of several siblings allowed me to look at mistakes and poor choices to decide not to do something’s. Not to mention I was definitely making poor choices of my own. I know people that have that let their kids watch certain movies to “teach them what not to do”, but it wasn’t started with, or followed up with a Christian world view. 🤷🏽♀️ That’s very important CWV.
As a an African am surprised and encouraged to see a black woman stand up for purity and holiness.The black culture i see in the media,and the 'black church ' we see in the media is total confusion and really messed up.God truly has a remnant in all cultures and generations
She may come in peace, but God comes with a sword. Vessels of God are not worried about being nice but we come with truth . We have to lift up our voice like a trumpet and show people their transgressions and their sins
This is revealing, I wrote a devotional book, called "It Matters: what we see, hear & say" Keep bringing this truth, it has shaped our thoughts! God Bless❤️🙏🏾
For Set it Off, I deem it as a cautionary tale against criminal behaviour. We can't ignore the racial profiling that black people face in the US but the overall lesson is that crime leads to destruction.
a lot of women have lived those stories in real life, and God still loves them, and loves every author of the book that wrote them and every person that worked on those movie sets, God is a loving and forgiving God and he doesn’t lead with fear and judgement
Another amazing video, Lala! 🙌🏾 You broke this down well and this was so needed! Most of us were raised on these movies and wonder why we have become so blind and oblivious to the enemy we are facing. These movies are made by the enemies of our LORD. Keep exposing the devil, sis!! May our father continue to cover you and the power of Jesus Christ move through you! Amen 🙏🏾❤️✨🙌🏾
SIS YOU ARE SPOT ON!! Thank you for your obedience!! Most of those movies that you mentioned were the movies that used to be included in my collection! The Lord worked on me, and I ended up getting rid of them little by little. Those movies were exposed to me since childhood, so it makes sense that my flesh had gotten used to those types of movies! He's still working on me Sis as I continue to fast & and pray and grow my relationship with him. Glory be to God! 🙌🏾 God bless you & your family 🙏🏾 ❤️
Whoa!! Holy Spirit prompted me about the Waiting to Exhale soundtrack. Witchcraft at its finest. My once favorite song was “wey you” JESUS JESUS JESUS. I have repented!!!
Yup! Played it on repeat for an hour literally last night! I thought it was safe since Chante isn’t singing any words but I felt convicted the second I saw the movie’s cover in the thumbnail! I don’t even listen to secular music but I made an exception for that one… won’t be happening again.
I’m so glad you’re pointing this out because it goes over a lot of our heads…we look at this as “entertainment” but the entertainment industry is so influential on culture/communities.
woww!!! The way you broke this down, really convicted me.Thank you for your obedience. Your videos are helpful and relatable, because when I tell you I loved majority of the movies you named, wheww! Thank you for being a mouth piece for the Lord and standing on business for the Kingdom.
I use to be a horror movie fan, you name it from halloween to friday the 13th and everything in between. But when i became a Christian i believe GOD slowly made me stop watching anything that wasn’t pleasing to Him, by convicting me thru the Holy Spirit to stop watching them, so i stopped. I turn away from anything on tv, at the movies, and even on sm that isn’t pleasing to God. That goes for music that has profanity as well. I give God all the honor, praise and glory, bc I couldn’t hav did it on my own. I really thank Him for helping me and delivering me from sinful things i was involved in, but all the glory goes to Him. Im still a work in progress, and i know im still not where i should be, but i thank GOD im not where i use to be!!!🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾❤️💞🥰🤗😃
Demons in films are real demons in hell. Demons inspire some of these writers content. I used to watch them too, and when I got saved, I heard Wes Craven in an interview say he was chased by this man as a boy, and it inspired Freddy Krueger
i cant disagree with this howeeeever if we being honest this can really kinda apply to just about allll movies and music....basically most media....twitter, IG, FAB, Tik tok... all of it basically
God really is with you. Just last night, I decided Wey U from the Waiting to Exhale soundtrack, would be my self care/skincare soundtrack & played it on repeat. I thought it was okay since Chante literally didn’t sing any words but here you are today & I feel very convicted. Thank you for your obedience, sis!
This is so true Praise Yah he had been leading me away from these movies for a while sometimes it be hard to let go but then you realize that these things have no benefit for you spiritually in your relationship with Yah !! As a Sister in Christ once said you " You are being detained by what you entertain." And yes these were classics for us it's what we grew up on but as we have come to Christ we are new creatures the old has passed behold all is new Amen we must renew our minds and are to be holy as he is Holy I'm grateful for the truth Thank you for your obedience and boldness All Praise be to the Most High 🙏🏿🙏🏿🤞🏿
Amen! Thank you for exposing the spiritually evil elements in these movies. We all need to remember that Holy Spirit lives in us, and we should not grieve Him. 🙏🏽💗
Sis you are sooooo right and no matter if some of us don’t agree, but you’re absolutely correct. So when we know better we’re supposed to do better. Can I get an Amen?? Amen
I was a kid when these movies came out. My mom let me watch them all. I had no business watching waiting to exhale at 11! I’m a mother of 3. I could not imagine knowingly allowing my kids to watch $ex scenes. I saw too much as a child and it planted a lot of seeds in me.
Fortunately some of those actors came out and admitted that those roles were wrong and they no longer want to participate in the downfall and misrepresentation of the black man and woman 💯
I hadn't even thought of these as 'demonic' but I notice I don't care to watch them again like I used to-some of them are depressing to me now; but I loved Love & basketball, thanks for this video
I wish that when people put these types of video out there, they give a guide of help. So I understand the full purpose of this video was to point out the demonic energy surrounding these movies, I just wished you also added in the comment section, or a part 2 to this video, of movies and TV shows you enjoy. This is why people think it’s boring being a Christian, when I’m fact it’s not. That’s something I had to learn. It’s so many movies in Tubi that are faith based, and so many shows/podcast on RUclips that are also faith based. So if you can do a PT 2, with list of wholesome movies and shows you watch during your down time💕
Lala, OMG! I needed this. I sent you a message on IG but I had to comment to! Thank you for this. I’ve tried to run away from giving up certain tv but I know I can no longer run & live in deception towards what I watch anymore. I’d love a part 2 of Holy Spirit leads you too! 💕
LALA you really broke it down. I love how you broke it down scene by scene with Waiting To Exhale. I appreciate you bringing up the word talking about the mixing of the profane. I appreciate your ministry.
Waiting to Exhale and How Stella got her groove back used to be some of my favorites. I don't watch them anymore but I find it interesting how they come to mind now and again and I have to remind myself what they are really about.
The Holy Spirit has REALLLYYY been speaking me to me fr bc even the most “harmless” movies and SO MANY MORE MOVIES are being revealed to me. After watching this video a few days ago, I was thinking about the Grinch😂😂 the movie is hilarious but the Grinch had a spirit of Wrath, Envy, and Greed and I was like😲 I’m so glad the Lord has open my eyes and put his spiritual lens in🥹
Now THIS one hurt my feelings😂 I have never been in a sorority and giving up secular music has been a struggle but I did it. But the classics Jesus?? The classics???? I wish I could insert a gif of me sliding down the wall in agony.😂😂😂 I tried to watch Tyler Perry’s Mea Culpa. It took me 14 minutes to turn it off after the Holy Spirit told me to . I had to repent the safety of God is more important than my entertainment ❤
While I agree there is defilement in these movies, fornication, cursing, selling drugs, abuse, cheating, these are also things people go through have gone through and will continue to go through in life, so I think movies should deal with how to handle the profane, conquer the profane. Romans 8:37 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.
We all been programming or in the matrix come out of Babylon ❤. I know better now i do better so im living a HOLINESS lifestyle and fasting and praying keeping my temple/body clean. Live and learn follow the holy Spirit now and not the World 🌍. Thanks for sharing
28:14 Boys n the Hood is also based on real-life scenarios. I grew up in L.A. during this time. I'm not excusing the sin, but unfortunately, this was the life for some people. Gurl, you breaking down 'Waiting to Exhale' has me really examining my heart.
I agree. Boyz in The Hood to me personally taught me a lesson. I didn’t grow up in church. That movie was all that me and others had. I always looked at Treys father like he was the light. I couldn’t explain it back then but a black man who cared and was fully present for his son spoke volumes to me as a kid who did not have an active father. The way I look at it is kinda different bc that movie reached some lives and saved many.
The mean reason I refrain from watching movies I enjoyed growing up, which include almost every movie that's on your list, is simply because I don't think, if Jesus was sitting next to me physically, watching a movie like Friday with me, that he would laugh at all the things that I would find funny. Unfortunately, movies like Friday stays in my memory to the point that even though I haven't watched it in years because I literally forced myself not to, I still find myself thinking about some of my favorite scenes in there and laughing. I definitely feel convicted for laughing at things that I know God would not want me to laugh at. It's definitely hard to not want to watch the things that you loved growing up but it is important that we all see exactly all the demonic activity that is placed in all of our favorite movies. Job well done my sister!
As a person with mental illness, it’s important for me to enjoy entertainment to keep level. If I never laughed at a film, enjoyed a clean secular song, or enjoyed a drama, my mental health would tip. I cannot read the Bible 24/7. I love the Lord and obey the Word. And I agree w you mostly, but clean entertainment isn’t a sin. It’s a relaxing thing to do. But we need to be careful
Hi Tracey how are you? Sister speak life into your situation and into your life. For God has not given you a spirit of fear, but a Spirit of Love, Power, and a sound mind. I too have suffered from mental illness and God has healed me, Renew your mind with The Word of God. Never say you can't read the Word all day because you can. You can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens you. Sister I was one of the most ratchet sisters when it came down to Music and Movies because if it didn't have perversion or profanity I didn't watch or I didn't listen to it. So there is no such thing as clean Secular Music because Music is Ministry. And the person is either filled with The Holy Spirit and they are Ministering to God's people or they are filled with unclean spirits teaching and singing ungodliness. Because what does darkness have to do with light, we shall have no fellowship with darkness we should expose them. God bless you Sister I'm not judging you but the way to freedom for your mind is Repentance and Renunciation of sins and letting God wash and cleanse you with His Word daily.
Sister, thank you for exposing the movie industry. The Lord showed me many years ago even the so called shows and movies that are labeled as wholesome or Family because they are void of all the sinful content we see, are just as evil. For example, most of the shows from the 50's,60's, 70's like, 'My 3 Sons', ' Leave it to Beaver', 'Hazel', 'Donna Reed', were considered wholesome. But the Lord showed me the stories never included Him. So people think they can be happy and lead a good life without Him. While that maybe true, however we know the whole point of Jesus coming here was so that all men can be Saved. The message of the Cross should be conveyed in our lives.
They went to church. They tried to be good people, and if you watch Christmas, and Thanksgiving shows, they pray to Jesus. Also say grace at dinner table.
Sad, and I watched them back to back as a very young little kid… “A Thin Line Between Love and Hate” was the movie I popped in the vcr everyday after school. Thank God for wisdom and the Lord Jesus delivering me.
Great info sis I’m starting to wise up as well I feel uncomfortable watching a lot of old black movies because the Holy Spirit is revealing the truth ! Thanks for sharing this message.
The Lord started convicting me about watching unclean movies back in 2019 around the time that movie Slim and Queen came out. Hollywood or Hollyweird is definitely the devil's playground. 95 % of these movies and shows are corrupt and demonic and thats how the devil can easily tempt us into sin. I wish i would have known all this back when i was a kid cause i feel like a lot of the movies, shows, and even music that i listened to gave the enemy easy access to my life. But now that im an adult and know better, I do better. The devil wants us to stay ignorant to his manipulative schemes and tactics. Thank you for spreading God's Word so more people can be aware of the tricks of the enemy and guard their eyes, ears, and mind, and protect their peace. "He'll keep you in perfect peace if you keep your mind atayed on Him." Isaiah 26:3
❤ Great breakdown! When it is laid out like this, we don't have any excuse that “We didn't know”. But also you have a beautiful singing voice! 👏🎶🎶 When I started to be more sensitive to hearing the Holy Spirit, I was watching a movie (I had seen many times and hadn't felt convicted about) but this time it wasn't as good as I remembered. I heard the Holy Spirit say (as if grieved/sad that I was watching it) “I don't like this movie.” I turned it off and felt disappointed that I had forgotten He sees what we see, so we shouldn't put Him through that but we also shouldn't watch it. ❤ We have to choose now who we will serve. Time is short. (Ref. : Joshua 24:15)
Matthew 6:22-23
“The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!
Psalm 119:37
Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things; and give me life in your ways
Amen. 🙌🏽

Ohhhh, this is good La La!
Amen Halleluyah🎯
I can agree with this analysis...its art imitating life!
I heard not too long ago Chris Tucker refused to do another Friday movie because he decided it didn’t honor the Lord.. Today I heard him talking on the gospel radio station and how he was talking about his and his family’s love for the Lord.. 🙏🏽
I was going to comment this. I'm so happy he knows and loves the Lord.
It was because of the pay at first. Which you can find in older interviews. And then it was because of him changing.
Love and Basketball fed the spirit of lust that was upon me as a teenager, would daydream about the experience until it lost its appeal. Children needs to guide their eye gate. A lot of what was promoted and glorified in those movies shaped my thinking and idea of relationships back then.
I mean dont agree, thats fine. But its on his older interviews. It was first bcause of the pay. Lol. And then he changed and found god a few years later. Which im glad he did though. But the timeline wasnt accurate. Thats all
@FunnyImpala-jn6wk ohh wow. Good point. I forgot all about that one. Lol.
"The Holy and the profane cannot be mixed together. If there is any mixture, then the whole thing is defiled." WOW...Powerful statement!!
The Holy Spirit STAY dropping those powerful nuggets 🙌🏽
Yup! Can’t worship two kingdoms at the same time Matthew 6:24-25
I've watched most of them 😭 the set it off always made me want to be violent because of my up bringing
Yes that saying is golden.
If the holy and the profane can’t be mixed explain Jesus Christ becoming the sins of the world.
Let's not forget Eve Bayou nothing but witchcraft and adultery
Listen!!!
Yep
THIS
Chileeeeeee!!!!!!!!
Yep good one ❤
I know that the Lord is changing me because now if I see anything on TV or movies like this, I feel it in my spirit how wrong it is. It hurts my ears if someone around me cusses, when I used to cuss as well but thankfully I’ve been delivered.
Pray for me that I stop cussing and that my ears become sensitive to it like that. My ears are becoming sensitive to other things. But with cussing, I think it’s childish. And children do it to fit in with the world. That’s why I started it when I was a kid. Then it developed to a bad habit. Pray for me please 🙏🏽
@@StashaR-ip6di Yes, I am praying for you! I was the same way! He will deliver you just like how he delivered me 🙂 God bless you 🙏
Amen. Absolutely agreed
Me too with the language. There are movies I watched in the past AND NOW I catch the "G-damns!" I didn't hear them before. 😮 So my ears have become more sensitive. I change the channel.
Amen spiritual growth
Christ over culture ALWAYS‼️ i literally only watch Touched By An Angel but if the Lord tells me “eht eht, cut it out” it’s goneee
Yes ma'am! Gone!
Some years ago I got me "smart" TV only to never to watch it 😂 I can hang towel on it tho😂😂😂I cant stand holyweird movies, nor rap, nor anything else, besides animals and travel. I am so far gone from the world, I feel feral 😂 but I have peace in my life and I have time to speak to Lord 🙏🏻👑🕊️💜💚💞
👏🏽👏🏽📣 🎯🎯100%!!
That’s why I had to stop watching Love n Hip Hop, Sista’s, RHOA etc. because spirit of drama and lust was manifesting in my life. Thank you sister for this video. Praise Jesus for continuing to expose the culture. Amen.
Omg yessss! I just deleted all those shows and DVR recordings. I’m trying to rid all of reality tv because I’m seeing none of it is good or maybe just a little.
Yes, I just tried to watch sistas this past weekend after not watching ever since a fast in January and I just couldn't get into it I said I wanted to watch set it off never even turned it on and haven't had an interest in it really. I stopped watching love n hip hop and RHOA years ago it just got to be too much drama for me. Thank you for this
Chiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii I used to LOVE ME SOME Love and hip-hop and the bad girl's club😢😢 BUT GOD has changed my nature and my desires... I was like how are they rich?!? I was jealous but NOT ANY MORE!! The blessing of the Lord maketh rich and HE and NO SORROW to it.
I keep telling my sister that. I stopped watching that garbage in 2016.
Same ❤
I'm glad Tiny Lister (Debo) got saved prior to leaving this earth
Chris Tucker as well let's hope he gets and repent as well.
I think Tom Lister Debo been born again believer back then
Did you watch Sunday Morning Rapture? Tiny Lister was in it. It's a good movie and an eye opener. It's a must see.
@@alishajones9348 Hi! is that the one where the rapture happens and there are some people left in church like the pastor's daughter who thought she was saved yikes, yes that movie was thought provoking. I'm watching it again right now!
YES, IT WAS AN EYE OPENER, I REMEMB'R THE YOUNG LADY (the Pastor's daughter ? not sure) STATING, "I THOUGHT I WAS SAVED !"
If these are demonic, that Mea Culpa is at the top of the current list. 🥴😬
Yes watch it last night my God I'm 45 I had to turn my head away at the sex scenes 😮
The Holy Spirit will probally let sister la to do a tyler perry movies😂😂. Which is needed for us
I wanted to watch that movie but I knew it was a no for me because I heard Kelly talk about it. Lord let's not talk about all Tyler Perry shows I have watched...the have and have nots.
Yes. All of Tyler Perry’s movies. Let’s add it to the list as he makes a mockery of the Gospel
And is
Most of these movies contributed greatly to the absolute dysfunctional violent mess in the black community that we are witnessing today.
Amen 🙏🏾 facts 😅 our people ain’t ready for this conversation
It's Entertainment! If you can't understand the difference between Entertainment and Reality, something is wrong. Why are Black people the only people that try to connect everything? No other race of people does this. Are we the only people who can't have all kinds of Entertainment?
How did these movie contribute greatly??? That’s not accurate at all, according to me. The music industry, and it’s glorification of violence in black artists music was a bigger contributor. Bro, Chicago in the late 60’s n 70’s had gangs, and they were pretty violent. The crops n bloods had warfare in the early 80’s in LA. The black community was targeted, and it’s always been that way. These movies depict circumstances, and events that took place using fictional characters to tell stories. Violence was glorified in alot of things, but the damage was done. Single parent homes were also a huge part in all this. When 2 parents contribute to the child’s upbringing it really matters.
@@ronaldmcdonaldjuniorghostno our people are ready for this conversation. It’s all about attitude, presentation, and learning to understand each other. The Bible says if you want to be understood, you must 1st learn, and understand those around you. It’s not about you, being understood, as I am interpreting the meaning. As a child of God, you have patience, understanding, love, etc (fruit of the spirit), placing you ahead of the masses, on a spiritual level of growth. As a person in such a position, the masses need our compassion, and teachings, for love unconditional.
“Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry” (James 1:19). We should be, but we aren’t.
There are others verses on understanding others 1st. If you’re interested I’m sure you will seek. If you have any problems, let me know, and I will be here to assist.
@@ct7853 Did you pay attention to anything the prophetess pointed out about these movies?
I been saying this about how hood movies are a way to program the black community but when I did black folk called me crazy
It is definitely programming, because people imitate what they see on the silver screen...
@@roblear9393 I watched so many that eventually I started to see them for what they really were. I started seeing the bigger picture and the messages they PROJECTED on the masses
Cause they wasn't ready ☝🏾
Because I’ve given my life to Christ, I no longer have the urge to watch those movies anymore.
Same!
My friend that I used to hang out with all she wanted to do was go to the movies and I told her that we should just walk around them all but she's still set on saying movies. So I stopped hanging out with her. I was trying to find something else mutually be able to do together but she always just wants to see a movie and they are crazy expensive now! A lot of the movies she wants to see have violence, gangs similar to the mafia, murders and witchcraft! We rarely talk now and I no longer consider her a friend. I'm just not into that stuff anymore...
Same for me too. I watched all those movies back in the day. I got saved in Jesus Christ and I no longer have a desire to watch television shows and movies that are ungodly.
But you watch movies with your good ole white people.
I definitely felt conviction when you spoke of big mama and her diabetes. That is me. I’m 32 and Even though I’m diabetic I still eat terribly, knowing better and not honoring God’s temple. I also struggle with the spirit of gluttony when it comes to food. Thank you for speaking on this. I know I need to take this more serious than I do. Please pray for me
Wow. Thank you for your transparency, Sis! Definitely praying for you. 🙏🏽
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
🤍
I’m too am overcoming gluttony. I googled Bible verses for gluttony and it’s like at least 15 or more!!! Read those verses everyday and command that the spirit of gluttony FLEE!! The Word says that we have the power to cast out demons! Rise up sis and let the enemy know who you are and whose you are!!!
Oprah played Sophia in the color purple.
It’s crazy how we have been deceived into believing almost all of these movies were harmless. The Lord is really in the process of cleaning up His bride and there will be many who dismiss revelation like this video as insignificant. Thank you Lala for your obedience in sharing this insight from The Lord. This really brings the scripture “a little Leven spoils the whole lump” into greater understanding.
Amen
Amen ❤
Yesss Amen
🤦🏾♂️ Yeah those and many more other ones as well.🤷🏾♂️😔
In 2008 The LORD sequestered me from T.V., film, video, mainstream music, etc. I don’t own a television and don’t go to movies unless The Holy Spirit releases me to go and see a particular project where he desires to reveal something to me. The movies you have listed are movies have also watched, but now are very difficult for me to digest. For those who are struggling with letting the things of the world go, ask the Holy Spirit to do the work in you and before you know it, you won’t have a desire for these things. Thank you so much, My Precious Sister for doing this video!
The Lord is doing this with me now
I am on the same path, sold my tv 2 years ago.
It's so important to have SPIRITUAL friendships. It helps us to GROW and hold one another Accountable as a whole .
YES!!
I have not seen these movies in more than 20 years! I did not realize many of the small details i overlooked when I watched it several years ago but wow! Most entertainment out of hollywood celebrates the profane. Now I understand why grandma only watched Wheel of Fortune and read her bible. Totally get it now. We need to careful that our eyes are not darkened by the spirit of the world.
The Color Purple was just overall depressing! The ONLY scene I liked was, God trying to tell you something.
Agreed
And I keep telling myself I need to be in a mood to watch this but then that would mean that I need to be in a mood to be depressed. No thanks.
Apart from the LGBT theme. Can we really ignore that our ancestors were subjected to these conditions during slavery and segregation era ?
These were their realities and it's important to learn and understand our history so as not to repeat it but I didn't believe a remake was necessary
The movie overall is ok. But would not see again. I would have never went to see that movie if it was not on the agenda for my family to go see on Christmas.
It's so similar to precious. Honestly that movie was so depressing that it made me laugh at some points 🥴
I used to watch Madea movies all the time. I thought they were good to watch because of the message within. Yet, later I was convicted that there are things in them that do not honor God. It's such a a shame because I admired Tyler Perry but he slowly slipped into worldly ideas.
I also enjoyed movies like Friday and the old Color Purple. I recently abandoned watching horror movies. The Lord convicted me of defiling my eyes and ears with secular movies and music. We must be spiritually awake and vigilant. We must keep no door open to the devil.
Yes and Tyler Perry movies mocks God unfortunately.
@@living4thekingdom170 Yes, how true sadly
Long comment warning:
LaLa, I can’t lie I was hurt when you called out some of my favs! However, I am always in awe of your obedience. It inspires me!
I do wanna add my personal testimony with the new Color Purple. I had wanted to see it so bad and had every intention too. One night I had a dream in which they were dancing in Africa (like the commercials) and all of a sudden the word “WITCHCRAFT” flashed boldly in front of the dancers. I woke up and settled into my heart that I wasn’t gonna watch it. Then, a few weeks later I dreamed of 1 Sam 15, where the Lord rejected Saul because of his disobedience. That same day I had an opportunity to see the Color Purple -for free AND before others- at an official pre-premiere event. I initially said yes, but The Holy Spirit wouldn’t let me rest so I had to say no. I share this not to boast, but to come into agreement with you that God is good. And His “no” is rooted in love. I couldn’t understand it at the time but so much has come out about the movie that it makes sense. I haven’t even watched the old one and that was a favorite of mine!
To be fully honest, I’m gonna have to pray about Friday specifically because I absolutely love it! However- if God says no, it’s a wrap.
Once again, thank you for always being a vessel. Sidenote- you look like a Princess in this video!
Bro I was convicted by the franchise
Friday
I watched the Christmas one and it was bad
And Taraji and some of the cast said they had to channel in with their ancestors and use chakras for inspiration for the characters. That right there was enough to convince me not to watch this movie.
What do you mean "if God says no about watching the movie Friday, smh, you already know not to watch that filthy movie, especially since La La named Friday a ungodly movie. Girl gone with that, smh
"No reason to be eating hammocks and chitllens everyday!"😂 Good message sista
You did it with this La! These movies sowing bad seeds in the black community. My my my
Yes she did.
Thank God, finally someone who is speaking the truth to God's people! Go LaLa! The Holy Spirit convicted me years ago that Christians shouldn't be watching TV or movies with sex, nudity, murder, excessive violence, vulgarity, and extreme profanity. He told me to unplug from the world.
Omg so what do you do go to work and errands and come back home??! Not being funny.. serious question
@@nikkit2843No. We watch wholesome television. 🙏🏽
@@nikkit2843 I’ve heard great things about some of the shows on PureFlix. I can’t give an opinion on it because I don’t watch much tv.
@@nikkit2843 there are too many healthier distraction in this life on tv for those who dont want to be perverted...but you decide to choose that your flesh desires instead of your spirit...
@@nikkit2843There’s also good, wholesome, Godly books to read- especially the Bible which can be read over and over and discover something new. Solo dates and travel with God is also great things to add to social life. Life isn’t all about ‘worldly entertainment!
Laaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! I know you speaking the TRUTH but at this rate all Ima be able to do is watch TBN and make shadow puppets on the wall! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Shadow puppets actually sounds like a good wholesome time to me!! Lemme know when you wanna host a gathering so we can all bring our puppets 🤣
The Kendrick brothers have some good Christian movies like war room etc...
I don’t know, I have mixed feelings. I do agree that we have to be mindful of the things we’re watching and listening to, but at the same time, I feel that we’re looking for conspiracies in everything. I’m not saying you’re wrong, but I go back-and-forth.
But ask yourself why are you wanting to watch something else. You wanting to feed your spirit. God wants us to be holy.
@@fantasybouthour6679usually when we go back and forth, the flesh don’t want to give up something that we need to. IJS
Gluttony, lust, envy, unforgiveness, fornication, lewdness, drunkenness, adultery, lying wow!! you are sooo correct!
I used to watch them too. Love and Basketball was my favorite movie but eversince I became serious about my walk with Christ, I renounced it.
Same with me too. I went to see Love and Basketball. As I got closer to God, I no longer desire to watch those movies again.
This breakdown was so true smh full of demonic influence 😩🤦🏾♀️🙏🏾 These movies, shows and music is all demonic.
🗣️ALL!
Pretty much. Come out of her. Touch not the unclean thing
Not love and Basketball
When I told people I’ve only watched some of these movies once I was looked at sideways but I’ve always been super sensitive to violent/degrading movies and I didn’t understand why until I started walking with the Lord.
And the black TV shows are full of sex. When people talk about the popular shows I am quiet because I don't watch them. I know we grown but as a child of God somethings you just shouldn't dwell on. God tells us to guard our ear gate, eye gate (I'm paraphrasing..don't know the exact scripture). We have to be on our Ps and Qs. We all fall short. We have freewill and just like we turn to these things we can turn from them. Praying for strength and spirit of discernment for all of us. #weloveyouLord 🙌❤️
Oh. Those are up NEXT!
That's right!
And either transgenderism and/or homosexuality
Especially when everybody was watching Power. I watched it a few episodes and a spirit of lust came on me. I had to stop watching it. If a movie says it's rated R now a days, I definitely don't watch it or go see it.
@@spekialcay1me finding a show: “this seems cool.”
First episode has a gay scene or a transgender
“Bruh I can’t catch a break”
I’m learning animation to make my own stuff
Already know I’m gonna get attacked by the LGBTQ
I wasn’t allowed to watch a lot of these movies as a kid and still haven’t seen many of them til this day. When I finally saw movies like poetic justice and players club I couldn’t figure out why they were so popular and I was actually very disturbed.
I just read the spoilers for Poetic Justice and just from that alone, I ain't watching it
Players club was like a low grade video from the start with a thin story line ,undressed women, rebellion, degradation of women and literally no storyline. And just bad quality
Same! Enforcing protection over my ear and eye gates as a child is one thing I thank God and my parents for.
LaLa thank you for your content! I also appreciate your sense of humor. Another movie I realize was demonic was my “favorite movie” for decades…Love Jones. It wasn’t until the last couple of years of me coming to understand witchcraft and voodoo, etc. that I remembered a couple of lines Darius said in the movie. During his spoken word piece “A Blues for Nina” he mentioned Oshun (a Yoruba goddess/diety). Later after he slept with Nina, he was talking to his friend Savon and said “she put the…Santeria, the Yoruba, all of that. She put it on me.” I use to quote this movie from start to finish, with no clue about the meanings behind these words. Thank you Lord for opening our eyes and the knowledge being shared.
Girrrrrrrrl!! That was my fav love movie! Thank you for sharing this revelation! 🤯🙌🏽
I just realized that too recently and it hurt my heart because that was my absolute favorite movie since I was 17 years old when it first came out. I have watched it over 50 times smh and when I finally realized what he was saying and talking about in that poem and the conversation with Savaugn, I can never watch that movie again 😢
Yes girl it was my fav also and God opened my eyes, all of that witchcraft language as smooth sweet poetry and pure lust, fornication.
WWWOOOOOOOOOWWWW!!!!!!!!! THIS WORLD IS WICKED!!!!!
WOW! SEX MAGIC!!!! WOW!!
We have to as Black people not be caught up with culture and race and truly live for jesus
Yesss!! We gotta start seeing ourselves first and foremost as children of GOD in Jesus name, thus brothers and sisters struggling with the same ol demons
I remember watching baby boy for the first time when I was about 25 in a spirit came out of my phone and went into my house and calls all kind of drama after that. I didn’t even finish watching it because I physically felt when it came out of the screen. There are so many broken people and families because of all of these movies that we are watching and consuming.
"Wow. That's was one of millions of us favorites. I had the DVD and watched it hundreds of times on cable. Gotta let that go, I been done with that. I love 💖💖 all the actors from them Forever though. "
The Wiz: full of witchcraft and the theme is that Hod isn't real.
Like Pastor Stephanie Ike said “In the spiritual world there is no gray area. Either you’re building up the kingdom of light or the kingdom of darkness.”
I don’t know what to watch for entertainment these days lol. 😅
It's time for us to create new entertainment ❤
Pastor Stephanie Ike is truly a Woman Of God. Yahweh is definitely using her to reach out to HIS children
@@ab.6031 yes! Her sermons helped me a lot when I came back to my faith.
Nothing really.
@@lolagunz I enjoy watching sports. Especially college. But in this chapter of my life I’m happy with going to church, work, and the gym. If it comes between me and the Lord I don’t want it.
I’d say with Boyz in the hood
It’s not a movie that every audience can understand.
It started off with kids because that’s when the cycle starts. It made it more realistic
Because their are kids who are brought up and surrounded by violence who become accustomed to it. It becomes normal for them.
You are definitely right about the Sexual immorality. And that’s why Girls and boys shouldn’t be left alone in a room for that long together.
Ricky’s death was tragic because he was the least you would expect to die. But that’s the realness of it.
I didn’t take the movie as glorifying VIOLENCE. But rather showing
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS when you engage in certain conversations you shouldn’t be in, hanging around the wrong influences, being in wrong the places etc.
GO TO SCHOOL, LISTEN TO YOUR PARENTS, AND HAVE SOMETHING GOING FOR YOU. STAY AWAY FROM THE STREETS and away from people who’s feet rush to evil. Cuz you never know you may get caught in the cross fire.
And end up paying the price for something you didn’t ask for.
I agree… I think there is a difference between glorifying sin and telling a story… Sadly, this is many of our stories before we find salvation…
everyone stuck on showing "what happens" when a majority of blacks are doing fine and not living that way is ridiculous because the kids who it happens to don't have any other outlet. TV is supposed to be the place they can look at what actually IS normal, not what their normal is, so they have something else to aspire to. I was one of those kids living in a horrible environment. Thank GOD for shows like A Different World, Sister Sister, Different Strokes, Family Matters, even Fresh Prince. My own teacher who I had a 4.0 in her class told me when I came back to visit her that she was thankful I didn't become a statistic. That's how bad the neighborhood was.
@@Ginger_Spicy_Candor Well see that movie came out in the 90s and the movie was very relatable to many.
Ricky the character who got shot up was someone who had the highest test scores. He was good at football he was thinking about going to the military. He wasn’t actually involved in the criminal activity but because he was around people who were he did end up dying and missing all the opportunities that were waiting for him.
I didn’t grow up the way they did. I grew up watching Disney shows and Nickelodeon. But I watch the movie and still take the lesson from the movie.
It’s not just about being from the hood, growing up in the hood, violence and murder
It’s a more deeper principle that anyone can apply to their life it’s all about how you look at it.
I see what you’re saying that it’s how you look at somethings. By the grace of God, being the youngest of several siblings allowed me to look at mistakes and poor choices to decide not to do something’s. Not to mention I was definitely making poor choices of my own.
I know people that have that let their kids watch certain movies to “teach them what not to do”, but it wasn’t started with, or followed up with a Christian world view. 🤷🏽♀️
That’s very important CWV.
Try to spend time with God and reading the Bible.
As a an African am surprised and encouraged to see a black woman stand up for purity and holiness.The black culture i see in the media,and the 'black church ' we see in the media is total confusion and really messed up.God truly has a remnant in all cultures and generations
Surprised?
With all due respect there are alot more than you think that stand for purity and holiness

Lmaooooo
I hear you sister
The way you started and said "these movies are demonic I come in peace, I really do" I start busting out laughing😂
She may come in peace, but God comes with a sword. Vessels of God are not worried about being nice but we come with truth . We have to lift up our voice like a trumpet and show people their transgressions and their sins
@@user-ul4fv4yl9jShe should take off her makeup that a jezebel spirt
Tyler Perry movies especially.
His shows too
This is revealing, I wrote a devotional book, called "It Matters: what we see, hear & say"
Keep bringing this truth, it has shaped our thoughts! God Bless❤️🙏🏾
Everything in this “Evil World” seems to be “Demonic.” We just have to keep praying 🙏🏽, and ask God for his discernment. 😇🙏🏽
SWEETHEART ITS NOT THE WORLD BECAUSE GOD DIDN'T MAKE ANY MISTAKES ITS THE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD THAT MAKES IT HOW IT IS
Not the insurance guy with the deep voice 😂. I knew exactly who you was talking about too
‼️🤣
Dang it. I just got off my lunch break. Gotta wait until I go home to watch this!! I can’t wait!! Thank you for your obedience❤
I didn’t come on RUclips looking for this video but God had other plans!
I was never fond of these movies, especially Love & Basketball because it screamed manipulation and abuse!
Really I didn't see that
Love and Basketball is terrible. The Holy Spirit revealed that to me years ago and I have gotten rid of the DVD recently.
@@dyanjackson9663I didn’t see it either, but I watched it again as an adult & was like … this is abuse.
Love & Basketball is so overrated
For Set it Off, I deem it as a cautionary tale against criminal behaviour. We can't ignore the racial profiling that black people face in the US but the overall lesson is that crime leads to destruction.
A few of these movies fall into what you are saying. I don't see these movies as glorifying the events but cautionary tales
Same I felt like a lot of these were showing people the consequences of certain choices.
a lot of women have lived those stories in real life, and God still loves them, and loves every author of the book that wrote them and every person that worked on those movie sets, God is a loving and forgiving God and he doesn’t lead with fear and judgement
I agree. According to this we need to walk around life like Hellen Keller hearing or seeing nothing that goes on in the real world
Another amazing video, Lala! 🙌🏾 You broke this down well and this was so needed! Most of us were raised on these movies and wonder why we have become so blind and oblivious to the enemy we are facing. These movies are made by the enemies of our LORD. Keep exposing the devil, sis!! May our father continue to cover you and the power of Jesus Christ move through you! Amen 🙏🏾❤️✨🙌🏾
SIS YOU ARE SPOT ON!! Thank you for your obedience!!
Most of those movies that you mentioned were the movies that used to be included in my collection!
The Lord worked on me, and I ended up getting rid of them little by little.
Those movies were exposed to me since childhood, so it makes sense that my flesh had gotten used to those types of movies!
He's still working on me Sis as I continue to fast & and pray and grow my relationship with him. Glory be to God! 🙌🏾
God bless you & your family 🙏🏾 ❤️
These movies are made for the specific purpose of influencing people to think nothing is wrong with SIN.
Coming to America is the hardest one on this list! But we are armored with knowledge now, gotta let it go! Thank you Lala!
I thank God for your obedience, Sis. To God be the Glory...🙏🏽🙏🏽❤❤

Yup! Played it on repeat for an hour literally last night! I thought it was safe since Chante isn’t singing any words but I felt convicted the second I saw the movie’s cover in the thumbnail! I don’t even listen to secular music but I made an exception for that one… won’t be happening again.

I’m so glad you’re pointing this out because it goes over a lot of our heads…we look at this as “entertainment” but the entertainment industry is so influential on culture/communities.
woww!!! The way you broke this down, really convicted me.Thank you for your obedience. Your videos are helpful and relatable, because when I tell you I loved majority of the movies you named, wheww! Thank you for being a mouth piece for the Lord and standing on business for the Kingdom.
Wow didn’t know this. Great call outs. Wonder how this has impacted our community.
I use to be a horror movie fan, you name it from halloween to friday the 13th and everything in between. But when i became a Christian i believe GOD slowly made me stop watching anything that wasn’t pleasing to Him, by convicting me thru the Holy Spirit to stop watching them, so i stopped. I turn away from anything on tv, at the movies, and even on sm that isn’t pleasing to God. That goes for music that has profanity as well. I give God all the honor, praise and glory, bc I couldn’t hav did it on my own. I really thank Him for helping me and delivering me from sinful things i was involved in, but all the glory goes to Him. Im still a work in progress, and i know im still not where i should be, but i thank GOD im not where i use to be!!!🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾❤️💞🥰🤗😃
Demons in films are real demons in hell. Demons inspire some of these writers content. I used to watch them too, and when I got saved, I heard Wes Craven in an interview say he was chased by this man as a boy, and it inspired Freddy Krueger
i cant disagree with this howeeeever if we being honest this can really kinda apply to just about allll movies and music....basically most media....twitter, IG, FAB, Tik tok... all of it basically
God really is with you. Just last night, I decided Wey U from the Waiting to Exhale soundtrack, would be my self care/skincare soundtrack & played it on repeat. I thought it was okay since Chante literally didn’t sing any words but here you are today & I feel very convicted. Thank you for your obedience, sis!
This is so true Praise Yah he had been leading me away from these movies for a while sometimes it be hard to let go but then you realize that these things have no benefit for you spiritually in your relationship with Yah !! As a Sister in Christ once said you " You are being detained by what you entertain." And yes these were classics for us it's what we grew up on but as we have come to Christ we are new creatures the old has passed behold all is new Amen we must renew our minds and are to be holy as he is Holy I'm grateful for the truth Thank you for your obedience and boldness All Praise be to the Most High 🙏🏿🙏🏿🤞🏿
Amen! Thank you for exposing the spiritually evil elements in these movies. We all need to remember that Holy Spirit lives in us, and we should not grieve Him. 🙏🏽💗
Sis you are sooooo right and no matter if some of us don’t agree, but you’re absolutely correct. So when we know better we’re supposed to do better. Can I get an Amen?? Amen
I was a kid when these movies came out. My mom let me watch them all. I had no business watching waiting to exhale at 11! I’m a mother of 3. I could not imagine knowingly allowing my kids to watch $ex scenes. I saw too much as a child and it planted a lot of seeds in me.
Seeds! Yes! 😢
Same!💯
All praises to the Most High God! Thank you, sister.
Fortunately some of those actors came out and admitted that those roles were wrong and they no longer want to participate in the downfall and misrepresentation of the black man and woman 💯
Flood my Heart with your Spirit of Truth Yeshua Amen
I hadn't even thought of these as 'demonic' but I notice I don't care to watch them again like I used to-some of them are depressing to me now; but I loved Love & basketball, thanks for this video
Thanks for illuminating the truth about the ENTERtainment we allow to ENTER our eye and ear gates. 💪🏾 Conviction is good for us.
I wish that when people put these types of video out there, they give a guide of help. So I understand the full purpose of this video was to point out the demonic energy surrounding these movies, I just wished you also added in the comment section, or a part 2 to this video, of movies and TV shows you enjoy. This is why people think it’s boring being a Christian, when I’m fact it’s not. That’s something I had to learn. It’s so many movies in Tubi that are faith based, and so many shows/podcast on RUclips that are also faith based. So if you can do a PT 2, with list of wholesome movies and shows you watch during your down time💕
Thank you I've been evaluating black movies 🎥 for years! Great job!
The Lord sees, hears, knows, & can do all. Thank you, LaLa.
#RespectJesus ✝️🕊️🙌🙏
Lala, OMG! I needed this. I sent you a message on IG but I had to comment to! Thank you for this. I’ve tried to run away from giving up certain tv but I know I can no longer run & live in deception towards what I watch anymore. I’d love a part 2 of Holy Spirit leads you too! 💕
You are a great teacher; I praise YHWH for bringing clarity through your Word based teaching. Yah Bless you.
LALA you really broke it down. I love how you broke it down scene by scene with Waiting To Exhale. I appreciate you bringing up the word talking about the mixing of the profane. I appreciate your ministry.
Girrrrrl, the way my flesh don’t want to listen 🤣 but I’m listening chi! 😆
Waiting to Exhale and How Stella got her groove back used to be some of my favorites. I don't watch them anymore but I find it interesting how they come to mind now and again and I have to remind myself what they are really about.
Hey my sister thank u for your messages that u post it is very much appreciated ❤
The Holy Spirit has REALLLYYY been speaking me to me fr bc even the most “harmless” movies and SO MANY MORE MOVIES are being revealed to me. After watching this video a few days ago, I was thinking about the Grinch😂😂 the movie is hilarious but the Grinch had a spirit of Wrath, Envy, and Greed and I was like😲 I’m so glad the Lord has open my eyes and put his spiritual lens in🥹
If you don't quit calling Shug Avery Shug Knight!! 🤣🤣
Now THIS one hurt my feelings😂 I have never been in a sorority and giving up secular music has been a struggle but I did it. But the classics Jesus?? The classics???? I wish I could insert a gif of me sliding down the wall in agony.😂😂😂 I tried to watch Tyler Perry’s Mea Culpa. It took me 14 minutes to turn it off after the Holy Spirit told me to . I had to repent the safety of God is more important than my entertainment ❤
While I agree there is defilement in these movies, fornication, cursing, selling drugs, abuse, cheating, these are also things people go through have gone through and will continue to go through in life, so I think movies should deal with how to handle the profane, conquer the profane. Romans 8:37 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.
I'm sitting here thinking about some of the things I've read in the Old Testament. 🤷♀️
All my favorite , so hard, but so true, thank you LORD for jesus!!!
This topic is so relevant in the Christian walk thank you soooo much for addressing it
We all been programming or in the matrix come out of Babylon ❤. I know better now i do better so im living a HOLINESS lifestyle and fasting and praying keeping my temple/body clean. Live and learn follow the holy Spirit now and not the World 🌍. Thanks for sharing
Lala, thank you so much for letting God use you in a mighty way. Also for exposing the schemes of the devil in culture.
28:14 Boys n the Hood is also based on real-life scenarios. I grew up in L.A. during this time. I'm not excusing the sin, but unfortunately, this was the life for some people.
Gurl, you breaking down 'Waiting to Exhale' has me really examining my heart.
I agree. Boyz in The Hood to me personally taught me a lesson. I didn’t grow up in church. That movie was all
that me and others had. I always looked at Treys father like he was the light. I couldn’t explain it back then but a black man who cared and was fully present for his son spoke volumes to me as a kid who did not have an active father. The way I look at it is kinda different bc that movie reached some lives and saved many.
I’m convinced there are 0 movies or tv shows without sins being glorified.
Try watching Christian movies by the Kendrick Brothers
The mean reason I refrain from watching movies I enjoyed growing up, which include almost every movie that's on your list, is simply because I don't think, if Jesus was sitting next to me physically, watching a movie like Friday with me, that he would laugh at all the things that I would find funny. Unfortunately, movies like Friday stays in my memory to the point that even though I haven't watched it in years because I literally forced myself not to, I still find myself thinking about some of my favorite scenes in there and laughing. I definitely feel convicted for laughing at things that I know God would not want me to laugh at. It's definitely hard to not want to watch the things that you loved growing up but it is important that we all see exactly all the demonic activity that is placed in all of our favorite movies. Job well done my sister!
As a person with mental illness, it’s important for me to enjoy entertainment to keep level. If I never laughed at a film, enjoyed a clean secular song, or enjoyed a drama, my mental health would tip. I cannot read the Bible 24/7. I love the Lord and obey the Word. And I agree w you mostly, but clean entertainment isn’t a sin. It’s a relaxing thing to do. But we need to be careful
Hi Tracey how are you? Sister speak life into your situation and into your life. For God has not given you a spirit of fear, but a Spirit of Love, Power, and a sound mind. I too have suffered from mental illness and God has healed me, Renew your mind with The Word of God. Never say you can't read the Word all day because you can. You can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens you. Sister I was one of the most ratchet sisters when it came down to Music and Movies because if it didn't have perversion or profanity I didn't watch or I didn't listen to it. So there is no such thing as clean Secular Music because Music is Ministry. And the person is either filled with The Holy Spirit and they are Ministering to God's people or they are filled with unclean spirits teaching and singing ungodliness. Because what does darkness have to do with light, we shall have no fellowship with darkness we should expose them. God bless you Sister I'm not judging you but the way to freedom for your mind is Repentance and Renunciation of sins and letting God wash and cleanse you with His Word daily.
@@MelindaGoldsby-oh5gl I hear you. Thank you
WOW! Eye opening. I know Harlem Nights is gonna be on part ✌🏿
Sister, thank you for exposing the movie industry. The Lord showed me many years ago even the so called shows and movies that are labeled as wholesome or Family because they are void of all the sinful content we see, are just as evil. For example, most of the shows from the 50's,60's, 70's like, 'My 3 Sons', ' Leave it to Beaver', 'Hazel', 'Donna Reed', were considered wholesome. But the Lord showed me the stories never included Him.
So people think they can be happy and lead a good life without Him. While that maybe true, however we know the whole point of Jesus coming here was so that all men can be Saved.
The message of the Cross should be conveyed in our lives.
They went to church. They tried to be good people, and if you watch Christmas, and Thanksgiving shows, they pray to Jesus. Also say grace at dinner table.
Chile everything is demonic...
Atp
I mean, tbh… 😭🤣😭🤣😭🤣 It’s funny and not funny at the same time.
Lmaooooo facts 😅but amen 🙏🏾
We can find something wrong with every movie - even war room 😂
@@VisionaryNonieRight 😅
Sad, and I watched them back to back as a very young little kid… “A Thin Line Between Love and Hate” was the movie I popped in the vcr everyday after school. Thank God for wisdom and the Lord Jesus delivering me.
Great info sis I’m starting to wise up as well I feel uncomfortable watching a lot of old black movies because the Holy Spirit is revealing the truth ! Thanks for sharing this message.
You kept calling Shugg Avery , Suge Knight😂
The Lord started convicting me about watching unclean movies back in 2019 around the time that movie Slim and Queen came out.
Hollywood or Hollyweird is definitely the devil's playground. 95 % of these movies and shows are corrupt and demonic and thats how the devil can easily tempt us into sin. I wish i would have known all this back when i was a kid cause i feel like a lot of the movies, shows, and even music that i listened to gave the enemy easy access to my life. But now that im an adult and know better, I do better.
The devil wants us to stay ignorant to his manipulative schemes and tactics.
Thank you for spreading God's Word so more people can be aware of the tricks of the enemy and guard their eyes, ears, and mind, and protect their peace.
"He'll keep you in perfect peace if you keep your mind atayed on Him."
Isaiah 26:3
❤ Great breakdown! When it is laid out like this, we don't have any excuse that “We didn't know”.
But also you have a beautiful singing voice! 👏🎶🎶
When I started to be more sensitive to hearing the Holy Spirit, I was watching a movie (I had seen many times and hadn't felt convicted about) but this time it wasn't as good as I remembered. I heard the Holy Spirit say (as if grieved/sad that I was watching it) “I don't like this movie.” I turned it off and felt disappointed that I had forgotten He sees what we see, so we shouldn't put Him through that but we also shouldn't watch it. ❤
We have to choose now who we will serve. Time is short. (Ref. : Joshua 24:15)
Russel was Leon’s character in Waiting To Exhale. I loved Angela Basset in this movie too.
