Devil worshippers used to be real secretive, but now they\u2019re just going everywhere.\u201d The actor talked about the importance of being vocal about his faith. He believes that the best way to combat the darkness that is spreading in the world is to be vocal about the impact that faith has had on his own life.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cWe need to stop treating our relationship with Jesus like the little buddy that you talk to before you go to bed at night,\u201d he said. \u201cBe more vocal about all the things that God means to us and all of the things that God has brought us through. There\u2019s been a lot of moments that you didn\u2019t post about, but yet you know how did God decide to get you through this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zqx9hyDIx5k\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Gibson has been open about his faith during his career, boldly proclaiming the gospel on social media and how he lives out his faith, unafraid of backlash. In an Instagram post, he discussed how he worships God every time he performs on stage. He said, \u201cEvery show while I\u2019m singing, I\u2019m praying, when I lift my hands, I am thanking the Lord Jesus Christ for the God-given stage of influence He has given me. I fear no man. I walk IN my truth and my life\u2019s purpose every day. I am clear that God is my SOURCE, and people and things are just resources. God IS my source. And, I want for nothing cause I have it ALL cause I have Jesus\u2026. #Amen\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tyrese is proclaiming his faith for everyone to see and trying his hardest to be a godly example of what a good father should be. His social media is filled with sweet pictures of his precious daughter, whom he parents alone. His video posts encourage men to stand up as fathers and protect their children\u2019s futures.<\/p>\n<p>In one post, he wrote, \u201cI am more than just a man. I am a father. A boy is excited about the opportunity to be a dad. A father is more focused on the \u201cResponsibility\u201d of being a father. As a father, it is a responsibility to create the standards in our kids\u2019 lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tyrese believes that the devil is trying to make his way to the main stage and wants to stop it. With some aspects of our culture becoming more interested in the devil, we should do our best to keep him hidden.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While on a promotional tour of \u201cFast X,\u201d actor Tyrese Gibson warned that the world is trying to normalize the devil.
