Secular Music And Movies? Not For Disciples of Jesus Christ. This is Why.


Man is made, by God, as a tripartite being, comprising of Spirit, Soul and Body. (1 Thessalonians 5:23). Man's spirit is the inner man, the soul is the middle man or main man and the flesh is the outer man. The Flesh of man helps him to relate with the material world through the senses. The Spirit of man is his organ of Communion with either God or demons. This has about it The Conscience and operates Intuitively. The Soul of man is the Man, contrary to some erroneous belief that man is spirit, man is soul. He, the man or the living soul, either lives by the spirit or walks after the flesh, the spirit and the flesh are both organs for the soul's walk in this life. The Soul is made up of Mind(Brain) and Heart. The human Heart is the seat of man's Will and Emotions, the drivers of man. The Mind of man has two departments, the subconscious mind and the conscious mind.


What man is is what he feeds himself, fact undisputable, in that the heart of man acts on what its being fed. If it is fed with the word of God through meditation it acts on it, the same way if it is fed with satanic information it acts on it. Out of the abundance of heart the mouth speaks, saith the Lord! Not only does the mouth speaks but also does man acts from the abundance of his heart! When the believer listens to worldly music, this is stored in his conscious mind, after a while the information is passed to his subconscious mind and to his heart for it has taken deep root in him. At this stage the believer is in big trouble for the heart is the seat of Will and Emotions. From the information already passed into the subconscious mind and the heart where the Will and Emotions of man lies, man is easily controlled by the party which infused the word. If man is full of Satanic information in his heart he acts on the words and he is controlled or used or guided by demons, many people in this category are suicidal in thoughts and are full of addictions. Most times the mind auto-play songs again and again regardless of efforts to control or Will its stoppage, this is what it means to lose ground to Satan, for he has possessed or gained some ground in such through wrong music and information. The manner with which the Spirit of God uses the Word in the believer's heart to direct him to obedience is opposed to the way Satan uses his own information in men to compel them unto rebellion. Satan forces his words, images and ideas upon men through the eyes, ears and flesh into the mind by deceptions, and compels such to work on them. This accounts for the many suicidal activities out there by believers and unbelievers alike, for the minds and hearts of the suicide have been gripped by demons and they are filled with many wrong information imparted by Satan either through movies or music or through neighbors, however a serious battle must be fought to set such free because Satan already has a stronghold in him.


Some think that they cannot be possessed because they are believers. What a deception! If ground has not been yielded to Satan why do believers then find it hard to control their thoughts at Will? Why is the emotions moved by the slightest change of activity? Very happy now, sad a few minutes later? Get angry when they don't want to? Why does their eyes catches what they desire not to see? Images flashing across the mind randomly? Inability to tame the tongue nor restrain oneself from saying that "word"? Taking an action or saying a word the believer would ask afterwards "did I really said or did that?" Addiction to bad habits? Hearing strange voices in the ear? Don't we still suddenly forget those little but relevant details in our daily walk? Voices in our mind always even when we desire to be silent? Distracted by wrong thoughts during prayer? Listen brethren! The Holy Ghost will not drive out demons nor regain grounds outside of the believer's Will, we must agree and fight with Him. If we do not admit to be possessed, in humility, how can we see the urgency in setting our self free from oppressors? Demons cannot take over our spirit because the Spirit of God dwells therein, but they will for sure seize every opportunity to possess the soul and body. How did we allow them in? The ears, eyes, nose and skin for not being kept with all diligence, as doors to the soul of man, automatically exposed the soul to Satan for attacks. Through wrong music, evil sights, and information ground is lost and man's soul is possessed for their inordinate activities.


The relationship between word and spirit is obscure to many, hence they receives whatever comes, whether music or teachings or movies, inspired by God or demons, they receive. Words carry spirits, spirit is transmitted by word or images. Addiction to pornography serves a good example of them who meditates on wrong materials or information, get possessed and are forced into perversion by the spirits they had received during meditation. As for believers, listening to secular music is like invading enemy's territory unarmed while expecting to get back out untainted and unwounded. If the believer be one who harkens to the voice of the spirit he or she will perceive a sense of defilement within when he or she listens to these worldly songs. Receiving words from the Satanic kingdom is tantamount to receiving spirits from there. Brethren, the adversary, even Satan, has planted his prophets into the music industry to prophecy death into lives. Many have received demons simply because they couldn't keep in check the urge to get entertained. Some believers have even blasphemed God through music and dances, when they speak in blasphemous proverbs, poems and dark sayings, the innocent ignoramus of a believer joins them in rebellion against God.


Why should a believer listen to songs which are not inspired by the Lord? No matter how noble they may sound how would songs composed or movies played by unregenerate souls have any good impact upon our lives when they themselves are in a mess and under condemnation? What can an unrenewed mind produce but the filthy nonsense the world tag wisdom and entertainment? For unregenerate men are as dead dogs before the Father. Why should the believer who is a stranger and sojourner seek entertainment from this world of the dead? For what has darkness to do with light and righteousness with unrighteousness? If the apostles were alive today would they listen to worldly songs or watch their movies? What would they say about the spiritual adultery of this generation of believers? This age has backslidden yet their deceitful hearts confirm within them that they do right, while they are on the broad road that leads to condemnation! Satan's greatest achievement today is making falsehood appear like true Christianity, for true Christianity is all about death! Death to the world, to myself, to my way of life, to the flesh, to sin, and fully walking as Jesus walked after the spirit by the power of the Holy Ghost. Have we not been led to worship woman, love, blessings, nature, money, alcohol through music? Have we not prayed or communed with these demons? We must repent! Why can't believers stay away from Satan and his properties? Befriending the world shouldn't be narrowed down to not being a murderer or thief, for it includes sharing in the culture, ideas, passions and entertainments of the world. Let us know for certain that befriending the world declares us an enemy of God! (James 4:4). Did Christ died that we might get entertained? Or that we might be useful for His glory?! We must quickly make a decision whether to enter into the fullness of life in Christ or get condemned with the world. If there be a thing that does not edify us it sure tears us down! Let us get rid of them all, pick up the Bible and study! What sort of music should the believer listen to? Only songs inspired by the Spirit of God! How do I know a song is inspired by God? The word of God is the lyrics and the Father, God is the object of worship, not man nor love nor money nor sex nor woman nor nature nor blessings nor any other idol, but God the Father! The Spirit does apart from the Word nothing, the music must be filled with the Word of God and must come from a believer.

Am Going Through All You Have Written Here, God Bless You For Showing Me The Truth And I Believe It Will Surely Set Me Free

Amen. May God give you grace.

God bless you OP for this writeup
The secular world used to be a midpoint between spirituality and carnality, but the secular has disappeared into the carnal world in our generation.
If a believer in this corrupt generation must grow and continue to grow spiritually, he/she must continue to feed on spiritual diets every moment and cut off from wordly affections.
But the "churches" are not helping their members in this regard. Worldliness has influenced the "church" immensely instead of being the other way round.
May God help us all and give us His own desires.

Very true, brother! The church has mingled with the world instead of influencing it, hardly can we differentiate the church from parties. The dressings therein speaks volume! It's hard to look at ladies these days for your eyes might get tainted with what you would see. The true preaching of the word is lost, but we can be very sure the Lord is restoring the church to health and seriousness. They no longer teach us to draw nigh to God nor do they prepare us for the coming of Christ, rather they teach us to make more wealth and get us stuck here on earth. Anyway, the Lord is making His move already and it shall be obvious what He has been doing in secret soon. Thank you brother! May the Lord strengthen us in Him and give us more desire for Him. Amen.

Op, you are a bush man!
Was secular music mentioned anywhere in the bible?

No it isn't. Is gay marriage mentioned in the bible? But it's bad, right?

{5:19} Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these;] Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
{5:20} Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 
{5:21} Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like... (Galatians 5:19-21).

AND SUCH LIKE! There are still many more sins not listed in the Bible.

very bad argument!
What is the correlation between gay marriage and secular music /movies?

Sir, I am not here for this childish play. If there be a person who desires his life transformed, direct such to me. And, I might take the step to report you if you do not cease with this sort of display. Does this look like joke to you? If it does you need Jesus in your life. If the so called youths are not seeing that the church is dying and foolishness is gradually creeping in into the church, who will the Lord send? Old men who shall soon die? What have you gained since you started criticising every truth you see? What's in it for you? I perceive you love this present world so much, you wouldn't even go through the post for the fear that it might expose your folly and your unwillingness to repent. You don't really seem like one who have a relationship with the Lord, just another church goer? Read your comments thus far, Jesus wouldn't say those things, neither would the apostles. When you claim to be a Christian, you soil the name Christianity. Please work on your relationship with Jesus, for you have proved that you lack something significant. If you lack knowledge or revelation about this, ask God to enlighten you and illuminate your mind, not coming off attacking whatever you see. If the Lord truly inspired this post, you should be expecting to get punished for your words thus far, but I will pray for you here. Or do you think i'm one of your fake pastors and preachers who don't know the truth or who are afraid to preach the truth? You people shouldn't incur God's wrath unnecessarily.

herlecks:

report me for saying that what put up there is not scriptural?
That is childish now

Does this look like joke to you? If it does you need Jesus in your life.

you dont know what it means for someone to need jesus, you cant tell a fellow christian who has already have jesus like you have done, that he needs jesus, that is a show of ignorance.

If the so called youths are not seeing that the church is dying and foolishness is gradually creeping in into the church, who will the Lord send? Old men who shall soon die? What have you gained since you started criticising every truth you see?

there is no atom of truth in what you have posted. You miss quoted scriptures only to come up with lies that secular music isnt for christians.
You further misunderstood what the term THE WORLD means and associated the world to secular music which is a huge ignorance.
Now tell me, a talented christian who do secular music for living who gave him the talent?
Sciptures tells me there are diverse gifts and God give gifts according to how he willeth
Sometimes, you people talk you dont know what you are saying

What's in it for you? I perceive you love this present world so much, you wouldn't even go through the post for the fear that it might expose your folly and your unwillingness to repent.

i have gone through the post, infact i was like you. I used to preach all these before.
But the only thing i will tell you. Be a graduate of any college who sincerely studied, come back and look at your bible a again you will see things in a different light.
What am i saying?
The current state of the african mind without education is a dark world, you barely see beyond your nose.

You don't really seem like one who have a relationship with the Lord, just another church goer? Read your comments thus far, Jesus wouldn't say those things, neither would the apostles. When you claim to be a Christian, you soil the name Christianity. Please work on your relationship with Jesus, for you have proved that you lack something significant.

religion or no religion please lets propagate the truth.
1.God is not fighting humans.
2.He created humans to replenish this earth and not to destroy it.
3.He will not come down someday only to destroy humans effort of trying to replenish this world
4.it takes love in the heart of humans to replenish this world
5.secular music or whatever form of music is entertaining, we need them to be entertained to remain on this earth and keep replenishing it
6.i guess the reason why the likes of you are against secular music is because of the sexuality the portray most times, not necessarily because the scriptures are against it.

If you lack knowledge or revelation about this, ask God to enlighten you and illuminate your mind, not coming off attacking whatever you see.

i have just given you enlightenment from God. Stop fighting against God,he gives people talents.
Go and search for your own talent and impart this world positively, who knows if it will be music if you eventually discover it.

If the Lord truly inspired this post, you should be expecting to get punished

is that all?
Go and think twice

but I will pray for you here. Or do you think i'm one of your fake pastors and preachers who don't know the truth or who are afraid to preach the truth? You people shouldn't incur God's wrath unnecessarily.

this is how the fake pastors started preaching before they eventually became popular and infest this nation with corruption.

Seek knowledge first, this is all i am saying
