“Music is one of the fairest and most glorious
gifts of God, to which Satan is a bitter enemy, for it removes from the heart
the weight of sorrow, and the fascination of evil thoughts.” -Martin Luther
There is something about “Holy Spirit inspired music” which I discovered from my early walk with the Lord that has made me to remain glued to them. And that is the spiritual refreshing I get from it. This is besides the worship experience I am drawn into. I guess, I am not the only one that has such testimony.
King Saul experienced deliverance from the evil spirit of depression that was tormenting him whenever David the lad played music for him. And never forget that David played under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. This implies that, a Spirit inspired music can wade-off evil and demonic presence. You can try it also. Whenever you are depressed, sad, fearful or in doubt, switch on a good gospel music and see the great deliverance you will experience.
Another lesson from the story shows that a Holy Spirit inspired song changes the atmosphere of the place where it is being played. It charges the atmosphere with the presence of God. And you should know that the presence of God comes with peace, glory, freedom and rest.
You can enjoy the presence of the Holy Ghost in your house by consciously changing the atmosphere of your house with good gospel songs; I do this a lot and can tell you for real that it works.
“And so it was, whenever the spirit from God was upon Saul, that David would take a harp and play it with his hand. Then Saul would become refreshed and well, and the distressing spirit would depart from him”. 1 Samuel 16:23.
Get rid of secular songs that invoke demonic presence around you, which influences you with the spirit of sexual seduction, lust, violence, greed, selfishness etc.
Your music selection should pass the Philippians 4:8 and the Colossians 3:2-5 tests. They should be songs that are promoting truth, noble, just by God’s standard, pure, lovely and good report. They should be songs that promote godly virtues and are praiseworthy. It should be songs that help you to foster your relationship with your Father-God.
Don’t waste your time listening to the songs of fools (Ecclesiastes 7:5). Keep your heart clean. Stay refreshed in the spirit and be inspired.
“It is better to heed the rebuke of a wise person than to listen to the song of fools.” Ecclesiastes 7:5.
