Music and Me

– 2 Kings 3:15
“Whenever the spirit from God came on Saul, David would take up his lyre and play. Then relief would come to Saul; he would feel better, and the evil spirit would leave him.”

It is important to know how to live in God’s presence and create an atmosphere that engenders the many blessings the Lord has promised.
Inspired Spirit-filled music helped Elisha connect with the Lord and brought wellness to a deranged Saul.
Inspired music carries the power to “communicate” grace and ability to the listener. No wonder Paul encourages us in Ephesians 5:19 (Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs…). The scripture tells us in 2 Peter 1:3; as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness…
I believe strongly that one of the things encoded in the “all things” mentioned by Paul above includes the gift of inspired music.
Listen more to inspired music, worship, and hymns (not sensual songs) and you will receive peace, wellness, wholeness, sanity of mind, encouragement, faith, the inspiration for inventions, wisdom for government and leadership, even angelic interventions, and much more.
Take it a step further, have a praise partner, and set a time and hour of worship preferably early morning or late evening, (any time of the day can be dedicated) when all you do is sing and revere God.
Blessings don’t answer only to prayer and fasting. Truth be told, the presence of God is the ultimate place of abundant blessing and that should be our heart’s desire.
God inhabits the praises of His people (Psalm 22:3) so singing praises in the form of inspired music are valid and important to our faith journey. Furthermore, Listening and singing along to inspired spirit-filled music attracts positivity and an atmosphere for miracles as it connects us to the wellspring of Life from where blessings gush.
Make a habit of singing inspired songs no matter the genre, time, and location to the Lord and see Father God come down in His majesty and power.
LET US PRAY:
In Jesus’ Name, I declare I rejoice in the Lord always. I sing unto the Lord a joyful song and His praise will continually be on my lips. Great is your faithfulness O God, I will sing of your love forever. Amen.
