Power of Music

Isn't it so cool what music can do to your emotions? 

It can motivate you, change your spirit, make you fall in love, make you feel understood, and make you feel alive. 

Even the most monotonous chore can be so much bearable with music. 

Collisions 3:16 "Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, 

singing to God with gratitude in your hearts."

Ephesians 5:19

"Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making music in your heart to the Lord.”

James 5:13

"Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise.”

Psalm 150

"Praise him with sounding cymbals; praise him with loud clashing cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord

 

1Samuel 16:23  Whenever the evil spirit from God bothered Saul, David would play his harp. Saul would relax and feel better, and the evil spirit would go away.

 

Think on These Things, Philippians 4:8

 

My most common spiritual weakness is my pessimistic thoughts. My mind complains, gripes, insults myself and others in my weakest moments. I have found that there are ways to "flip the switch" in my head. One is turning on my Spiritual Music, another is counting my blessings, and finding a way to give praise for what I am complaining for. God wants us to think of GOOD things.

This is harder and goes against the human grain. Every action we make was once a thought,

so before you speak it or do it,

Think it through.

 

T- is it TRUE

H- is it HELPFUL

I- Is it INSPIRING

N- Is it NECASSARY

K- Is it KIND?

 

Philippians 4:6-8

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--

if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.

Romans 12:2

 

do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
