Have
you ever thought seriously on the power of music? Surely you have seen
the affects that it has on our modern culture. Each generation is marked
as much by its songs as by its historical events. Ever heard "I love
that 70's sound..." or other such comments? Have you ever been walking
through a department store and the "elevator" music they played just sent you back? Heh Heh Heh! We've all been there... and that's the power of music!
Now,
just think of how that concept could work for you in a positive way...
In the setting of II Kings Chapter 3, although the three Kings were
desperate, the Prophet Elisha was indisposed towards helping them! He
just wasn't interested in it. In fact, he stated, If Jehosophat wasn't
with you, I wouldn't even look in your direction! That's just cold! However, having the foresight to know the repercussions of inaction (he was a prophet remember...)
he made this statement; "bring me a minstrel..." which is what we would
call a musician in our day... As the musician played, the hand of the
Lord came upon him and he spoke an incredible prophetic word of
deliverance! Never underestimate the power of good Christian music to
encourage, enthuse, and edify your spirit!
Tip for tunes: Only listen to music that influences you to worship or pray and you can't go wrong!
Be the Link...
