Last Sunday we just concluded the Beatz & Barz topic, which took us 3 weeks to discuss and ponder very well on what goes in to our ears.
It's been an eye opener for many. Reading the lyrics on the big church screen made us understand how the devil works through most artists in order to spread his venom.
Those lyrics are like spells that end up dictating the way many young people live their lives.
The devil needs to voice his opinion. He needs a mouth to speak out his mind. And how could he do that unless he uses an 'instrument' that can do such think, someone or something that has the power to express himself, like us, humans?
Animals can't do that. We're the only option. And make no mistake, his intent is to corrupt everything God created.
And that's why he uses music. Music was God's creation. The cherubs worship Him in the heavens daily. Lucifer was one of them. He knows how powerful music is and how it can influence people.
Just like God uses a person who is filled with His Holy Spirit to do wonders in this world the devil also uses people to express himself. And what better way to do that than music?
Observe how nowadays certain artists raise to glory in couple of weeks? For example, Lady Gaga. Who was this woman a year ago? She wasn't known to many. Now she's won more statuettes than many other singers who have been around for a long time.
Why? How? Simple. The devil needs to spread his poison as quick as possible for he knows that Jesus return is at hand.
Oh please, don't tell me she's a good role model... Wake up my friend! Pay attention to her song lyrics.
She is one among hundreds of bad role models. Every time you listen to their music you're actually drinking (filling your mind) of their spirit (ideas).
Most singers release couple of nice songs in order to make them look good. You say that you don't do what the lyrics of a particular song suggests, but then why listen to them? It's like you agree to those disgusting words.
Choose what you listen to carefully. We're not saying you should stop listening to music. We're just advising you to be careful to what goes in to your brain.
