What Christians Should Know About Music?

Rock has grown more wicked, and Western culture has become permeated with the spirit of heathenism, demonism, and moral debauchery. The foundations of biblical Christianity within Western society have been washed away within the last few decades; and rock music has been both a reflection of this change and an instigator of it.

Rock music has doubtless been a major influence in the dramatic increase in violence, free sex, no fault divorce, unisexuality, homosexuality, abortion, drug abuse, Satanism, idolatry, and socialism.

In its “Christian” incarnation, rock plays a major role in the building of the one-world “church.”

The hour is late and dark. Many Bible prophecies are being fulfilled before our eyes.

Yet the chorus of voices once lifted against rock has faded dramatically; only a few isolated voices remain and not many are listening.

 

What is wrong with Bible-believing Christians today? How can this evil be allowed to dwell so comfortably within our ranks? This book is an effort to awaken those who are slumbering and to help homes and churches have victory against a powerful enemy.

Rock music cannot be sanctified for the Lord’s use because it is fleshly and cannot therefore minister to the spirit. I am not speaking merely of the words. Rock music fits the bar, the dance hall, the night club, the gambling den, the house of prostitution. Rock music fits the devil’s house, but it does not fit the Lord’s house. It was created by rebels who brazenly love the things that God’s Word says are evil.

The Bible says God is holy, and He requires separation from that which is unholy:

“And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean” (Leviticus 10:10).

“Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the LORD your God” (Lev. 20:7).

“The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate” (Proverbs 8:13).

“Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away” (Proverbs 4:14-15).

“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will
of God” (Romans 12:2).

“Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good” (Romans 12:9).

“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them” (Ephesians 5:11).

“Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world” (James 1:27).

“Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God” (James 4:4).

“But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy” (1 Peter 1:15-16).

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever” (1 John 2:15-17).

The world been taken over by rock music, and that most people accept it unquestioningly, but the standard for Christian living is not that which pleases men but that which pleases God.

The Bible warns that “that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God” (Luke 16:15).

Society changes, but God’s call to separation from unholiness and the sensual spirit of the world does not change. The Bible says that God’s people are different from
the world.

“And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness” (1 John 5:19).

If something is popular and acceptable in this present age, it is probable that it does not please God.

“For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world” (1 John 2:16).

We dare again to measure rock music by the standard of God’s holy Word, just as we did 40 years ago when we first began seeking God’s holy will.

Our warning about rock is as fervent as it was then, though the content is updated for a new generation, because the power of rock to produce rebels and to build the one-world church has not lessened.

Homes and churches that don’t give clear and persistent warnings about rock music in all of its forms should not be surprised if their young people are worldly and tend toward New Evangelical and emerging church thinking.

(*When we speak of rock music we are speaking of heavily syncopated modern music in general in all of its constantly changing varieties: blues, rhythm & blues, folk rock, country rock, pop, jazz, metal, punk, grunge, thrash, indie, techno, ska, reggae, rave, rap, etc.)

 

What Christians Should Know about Rock Music?

By way of summarizing the information herein, we want to begin by listing nine things that Christians should know about rock music. Only by such education can we make an informed decision about our relationship to it.

1. It is a moral revolution.
2. It preaches a philosophy of narcissism and licentiousness.
3. It is permeated with blasphemy.
4. It is the music of false christs.
5. It is condemned by the Bible.
6. It is a fulfillment of Bible prophecy.
7. It is at the heart of the one-world church.
8. It is addictive.
9. The only sure protection is to avoid it.

How certain kinds of music affect the frontal lobe?

There are certain kinds of music with the back beats with the accent on wrong beats. For example, if we are listening to a song, like a simple song which most of us know and have heard even sang it. Is ‘Jesus loves me yes I know for the bible tells me so.’ The emphasis is on the one beat, it is more of a March beat. Now we can also move the accent, we can duplicate it and put it on the 1 and on the 3. Its like a child would sing it all innocent, on the 1 and 3.

Now all we need to do is shift the accent to the 2. Or to a 2 and 4 or just a 3. It may sound confusing. All of a sudden you what is a rap or hip-hop feel. It is the same words, same type feeling, or melody, but we have done is move the accent. The moment we move the accent from the 1 or 3. it becomes a syncopated beat. Syncopation by all occult experts around the world agree. Syncopation is the source of occult power in pagan worship service.

Now this is profound to the Christian.

Now we are in our homes our cars listening to Christian music that has all these beats, and syncopated things in it, nd we are going, ‘Oh this is great this is wonderful. What it actually does, jus like it does to ancient voodoo worshippers and  odern day voodoo worshippers in their religious services. It short circuits the frontal moral lobe. It gets them to a place to where they can become possessed. It is called the place of the cross roads between the physical and the spiritual. And now in the church we have this thing going on and we call it now a days the Holy Spirit. That’s pretty profound thinking. All of a sudden we are getting our emotions  going, we are taking that frontal lobe to more low, we are casting it off, and whatever the preacher is preaching goes in without interpretation. GOD said NO! Reason with me. So I know right there that is not of GOD, but of satan the devil. Because the satan does not want us to reason out who he is. If we really reasoned it out, what he stood for and what he is trying to do for us, we would not learn from him. What we are doing is adopting his things and we are embracing his stuff if you will, and his music we run to him and run away from GOD. It is working? Yes it is powerful, and so the reality is. Music can profoundly influence our characters and so music thus becomes a very moral issue, if we are listening to the right music, wonderful lead me to GOD. Which leaves my thinking intact. If we are listening to the wrong stuff, the frontal prefrontal cortex is actually what is called the front of the brain where you character is your will is where you want to obey where your reason powers are that is gone. In fact some of the music rips it out, splits it in half and stomps it out on the ground. Whatever the music is teaching, not just the lyrics, the music is teaching people, “oh it has Jesus lyrics and talk about Jesus” that is out there in the CCM (Contemporary Christian Music Movement). The problem is music itself has a motive, and has an attitude, and music itself has body language. Now we can say ‘I love Jesus’, - Body language shows whether you do or not love Jesus. The way I said it and not the words. If I said it differently, it would be the motive of my body language betrayed my words. The music that we listen to can betray the Jesus lyrics. So what happens when we are listening to all these music that has these driving beats and it’s attached to a genre of rebellion?  Sex, drugs and Rock ‘n Roll. It undermines the Jesus message. Many of us know this and except other Christians.
