The Power of Music!!!

Hey peeps! I hope y'all have been well. This sermon really spoke to me and I hope it speaks to you too. I will also share with you why it got to me.

 If you knew me in high school one of the first things you would notice was that music and dance were my heart beats! I could be having a conversation that is a matter of life and death and a single beat or the first few words of a song would completely distract me. In short I WAS a zealous worshiper of the world! 

 I remember in my first year of University, now feels like billion years ago, when I decided to do a week long fast from music..I thought I was going to die! I am not being dramatic (Though I can be :D), it was a real concern. But, by the end of the week I not only found that I could live without secular music, I also started to develop a taste for Christian music.

 Fast forward 5 years, God has completely set me free from that attachment to secular music! Now, I not only listen to Christian songs at church, but I jam to it, I dance to it, I walk to it, ...

 The thing I love about Christian songs is that they speak life and align you to God's word. Anyways, enough about me! Watch this sermon! Ask God what He wants to teach you through it! 

 I pray you approach this topic with a heart that is willing to learn and grow from it. 



Here are my notes from watching the sermon :) 

What information are you allowing to become a part of you? WHAT SONGS ARE ATTACHING THEMSELVES TO YOU?  the God that lives in you, what are you forcing Him to listen to

3 things we should know about music

1) music has power
2) music is a gift
3) the music we listen to determines who we serve

Music is the soundtrack of your life

Most music that is attached to our life experiences has spiritual influence attached to them

3 things we should know about songs

1) melody - Affects your emotions . Any song that controls your emotion has power over you
2) rhythm - the starts to affect your will,  your action,  your behavior.  Any song that influences your will to act or behave a certain way has power over you
3) lyrics - they affect your mind
We allow our musical icons to minister to us.  Any song that makes you think a certain  way has power over you

3 things about worship we should know

1) worship is a lifestyle
2) we praise God because of what He's done; we worship God because of who He is
3)Worship Is not for us. It's for God

If you lead a lifestyle of worship and come to church and praise without an instrument

Mark 12:30 

If you want to know what lies ahead ask somebody who is on his way back

Exodus 20:3
 Do you love the gift or the gift giver??

Music used to be my idol! 


Stay Blessed <3

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: Refuse to Pretend

Be a Contender not a Pretender!  1) The time Jacob labored to get Rachel was nothing to him because of how much he loved her. Similarly when you love God all the sacrifices you make are nothing..if you truly love Him that is! "So Jacob served seven years to get Rachel, but they seemed like only a few days to him because of his love for her." Genesis 29:20 Rachel is his first Love..She is representation of Jesus and His Love where as Leah is the  substitute ..not the real one. Rachel is the one where as Leah is the second option..not the best! Leah is Religion where as Rachel is Relationship with Christ Leah is Survival where as Rachel is Revival 2) Do not be Pretenders but Contenders "Dear friends,  although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share,  I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend  for the faith  that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people."Jude 1:3 Do not be like people who come to church

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: The Way of the Eagle

God will Fly Faster than you will fall..Then He will catch you! Qualities of an Eagle..we should have these things as Christians 1) An Eagle has Great Vision: It is easy to get lost without a vision 2)  An Eagle feasts only on Living things: We are alive in Christ, we do not need the dead things of our past 3) An Eagle is Faithful : We should be faithful in our relationship with our mates, friends, families and most of all in our relationship with God! When Does an Eagle Soar to the sky with its eyes set on the sun? 1) When a storm is approaching The Eagle sets its eyes on the heaven above as a storm approaches. We need to set our Gaze on Christ when storms come our way. "Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things." Colossians 3:2 2) When its enemy approaches The Condor is Eagle's enemy and it knows the only way it can win is if the Eagle stays down (when the Eagle doesn't soar to the sky) The only way our enemy will win u
