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 t...

When the Music Stops...

Hey Friends, I am trying to honour my commitment to make at least one blog post a month, so here goes July. That being said, please know that I am not posting for the sake of posting. I am trying to cultivate an active listening skill when it comes to each topic I share i.e. I will not post until I am convinced I heard from my heavenly daddy. I hope this is one speaks to you. :)   When the Music Stops... This marks the first time I talk about my hubby-to-be on this blog. This man is a Gem! He is a true worshipper, a man after God's heart. He also happens to be an anointed worship leader :) I am not saying that because I love him, I promise. The reason I bring him up though is because one of the very many conversations we have had about music is a good illustration to the point I will make later in this post. He mentioned that  it is common practice amongst some parents to hide their kids' musical instruments closer to exam seasons in the hopes of helping them focus...
