Kanye West narrates how he battled devil, alcohol and overcame them
Grammy Award-winner and US Hip Hop artiste Kanye West has shared with the world how he overcame alcoholism and the devil after battling with them during his transformational journey before he finally became a Christian.
Speaking at a prayer rally in Arizona tagged ‘AWAKEN2020’ organized by a group of anti-gay/LGBTQ pastors, Kanye who is now a ‘born again’, opened up on how his spiritual journey with God helped his mental condition and saved him from alcohol.
“There was some vodka in the refrigerator at my office, and sometimes I would just go ahead and take a drink from it in the middle of the day. I was walking toward that kitchenette area, and I stopped myself and I said, ‘Devil you’re not gonna finna beat me today,’ and it’s something that we take on, day by day.
“Every day that I don’t pick up that drink, I beat the devil.
“I’ve been to the mental hospital and back, working for the devil.
“But Jesus saves. No matter how long you’ve been away, no matter how long you’ve been in the dark, the light is right there, ready to save to give you the confidence,” he said.
