MUSIC FOR GOD’S CHURCH
Music — An expression of a thought or idea, expressed through notes, pitch and harmony.
Music is one of the most influential things in the universe. Its purpose is divine. It is to worship God, and bring Him glory.
Music is important to God. All throughout HIS Book, the Bible, music plays an important role. It is important for the church ministry because it is a form of worship.
Here is why music is important to God
(1)The Psalms is the hymnbook of the Bible. It has 150 chapters.
(2) God responses to music [II Chronicles 5:12-14
(3) Angels sang at Jesus birth [Luke 2:8-14].
(4) Songs will be sung in heaven [Revelation 15:3-5]
(5) A trumpet will sound at our final calling [II Thessalonians 4:16]
(6)It is used as a distress call — Paul and Silas [Acts 16:22]
(7) It is used after a victory [Exodus 15:1- 10,21]
Music greatly affects the entirety of a person. Because music is vibration, it can easily be transmitted to a person who also receives and transmits vibration.
Music affects a person...
1. Physically - Good music — increases eyesight by 25%, allows you to digest food better. Makes plant grow a few times more than normal plant growth. Bad music
— Gives headache, causes indigestion, kills plants
2. Mentally
(1 )What the musician believes greatly affects the listener even if the musician doesn’t say a word
(2) Information, attitude, idea, philosophy and even religion can be passed mentally through music.
3. Spiritually
(1)It either makes you strong or weak spiritually.
(2)Spiritual songs from God can help you flee temptation and calm fears.
(3) Check Christians who listen to rock music and you’ll find worldly, hardheaded, rebellious and wrong attituded Christians.
(4) Satan and his crowd back up rock music.
WHY CHRISTIANS SHOULD NOT LISTEN TO THE WORLD’S MUSIC
(1 )The singers defy the name of God through its lyrics — Exodus 20:7
(2)It is a fountain of rebellion, because Rock Music is actually an expression of rebellion to authority. (Ex. God, Parents, Law)
(3)Because of the lifestyle, philosophy, beliefs and practices of the artists.
(4)Because the lyrics and philosophy of the songs agrees with the Satanic Church by Anton Lavey. (5)Satan uses it to control your mind, and then your life.
(6)It is against God’s will. — Colossians 3:16; Ephesians 6:1-3; Ephesians 4:24
(7)The world’s music teaches that salvation is by works, not by faith in Christ Jesus alone.
HOW TO FIGHT SATAN’S MUSIC
(1.)Decide never to listen or sing Satan’s music
(2.) Decide to replace it with God’s music. Always sing true Christian music.
(3). Burn those worldly records. (Don’t give them away).
(4)Stand on the word of God. (Ephesians 6:10-19).
(5)Be a soul winner. Have a burden for others who are bond by the devil and are going to hell.
(6)Put God first in your life. (Matthew 6:33).
(7)Love Him above all. (Mark 12:30)
