Ye Shall Know Them by Their…Music?

Jesus once said that, “...by their fruits ye shall know them” (Matthew 7:20), using a tree and its fruit metaphor to tell us how we would know if a person was good or bad.

Could it be that the music we choose to listen to, play on our musical instruments, or sing could be one of those fruits?

Over the years I’ve come to see the importance of music in our lives and how much impact it can have.

But now I’m beginning to see that music goes way deeper than that.

A man’s (or woman’s) music represents him.

A man’s music is an emanation of him.

Indeed, a man's music is a reflection of him and his religion.

I should repeat that, a man’s music reflects his religion.

(Unbelief in God is a religion, by the way.)

The reason is because the music a person listens to, sings or plays indicates where his heart is spiritually.

It is also an indicator of either the presence of the Spirit of God, or of demonic oppression or even possession.

Music is a spiritual vehicle, this is true.  It transports us.  Uplifts.  Or brings low.

But music is more than that, because there’s no way to imbibe and to sing/play music without actually becoming the music you're taking in and pouring out.

Jesus said,

“...out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned” (Matthew 12:34-37).

So right there Jesus says so much about the words which part our lips.  

1. What we say, and in this case sing, comes form our hearts.
2. What’s in our hearts determines what we speak.  If good or evil parts our lips, it comes from the treasure in our hearts.
3. We shall be judged (justified and/or condemned) by our words.

This is why music is so representative of who we are because the music we gravitate toward indicates what’s inside our hearts.

This means that music that even portends itself to be “non-religious,” that is, secular, actually has a spiritual component.  

My last blog, http://withoutspotorblemish.blogspot.com/2014/08/two-recent-songs-not-even-trying-to.html, identified two very popular songs, "Counting Stars" by One Republic and "Come With Me Now" by the Kongos, both played on secular radio but are actually very spiritual, very religious songs. They are not sung in “Churches” per se, but all the world is a Church, and these two songs are sung to the glory of Satan.  And yet, they are considered secular, and non-religious.  

As well, every form of religious music, from that used in paganism to the worship of the one true God, are obviously all spiritual in nature.

As far as Judeo-Christian traditions go, we have an entire book of the Bible (the Psalms) which was written as poetic music.

But the predominance of the worldly music available today for public consumption is Satanic.  And that is by design.

But how is it Satanic?  Most songs don’t mention Satan?  

Satanism is represented in music that simply calls on the listener to sin.  If it calls for and celebrates sex outside marriage, that’s sin, therefore it’s a Satanic song.  Drunkenness? Partying all night?  Rebellion against rightful authority such as parents? Drugs?  All sin. Therefore, all of those songs are Satanic, meant to tempt and drive the listener right into the arms of demons.

Satan uses his musical emissaries, these artists made famous, to "rob, kill and destroy” mankind through their music, and as he is “the prince of this world” (John 12:31, 14:30, and 16:11), he has that power, to emanate his false gospel of “do what thou wilt”/sin through every mechanism possible.  

He uses the airwaves of the radio, television, internet, satellite, etc. to do so, and so much of this effort to draw mankind to destruction is not just supported, but led by music, and his greatest push with music is right when a person is in those adolescent developmental years.  If he hooks them then, and seats the hook of sin-glorifying music deep in their hearts, it can be very difficult to extract.

Satan also gives his emissaries great riches for spreading his doctrines through music, just as he also offered great wealth to Jesus at the end of his wilderness temptation,

"...the devil taketh him (Jesus) up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve” (Matthew 4:8-10).

These demonic musical emissaries, such as Lady Gaga, Katie Perry, Brittney Spears, Madonna, Rhianna, Ke$ha, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Eminem, U2, Bob Dillon, Metallica, Godsmack, the Beatles, Greatful Dead, The Rolling Stones, etc. and etc. (just youtube any of those names with the word illuminati or satanism and you'll find loads of information on them), all have sold their souls for great wealth and fame while they are being used to lead the masses down the broad road that leads to destruction and eternal damnation.

So when you see these satanic musicians with millions upon millions of dollars flying in their private jets all around the world, living in mansions, having want for no material thing, you can know that Satan is providing them with that end of his bargain.  He is the prince of this world, and it is the world he has to offer.  (Jesus didn’t argue with Satan that Satan had no power to offer the kingdoms of this world to Him, Jesus simply responded that He wouldn’t serve him but God only.)

This may surprise you, but even a lot, dare I say, ALL of the contemporary, so called “Christian" rock music brought to you by the same music industry execs that bring you the artists (I use that term loosely) listed above, are behind today’s famous Christian artists as well, only under different “holy” labels.  Folks such as Lecrae (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ig_Aw6f0Xtw), Toby Mac (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wcBT5XiBkU), Third Day (http://newjerusalemchronicle.blogspot.com/2011/05/toby-mac-and-third-day-more-examples-of.html, http://www.av1611.org/crock/crockex2.html), Rebecca St. James, Kirk Franklin (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoSYhC2uNGA), and even the beloved Amy Grant (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzAYBeTWk38), are all peddling a Satanic form of Christianity, many of whom have videos replete with sexual innuendo, watered down and false gospel messages, raspy, sexualized voices, and even witchcraft and Illuminati symbolism.  If they’re accepted by the world and have “cross-over” appeal, that is by design, to draw Christians away from purity and unto a false form of worship that is actually satanism.

I mean, just consider many of the initially "good-girl" Christians, such as Jessica Simpson, Carrie Underwood and Katie Perry, who completely turned into satanic, illuminati puppets.  The reason?  The satanic music industry loves to take young pretty Christians to ensnare Believers and then pull the Believers away as they go deep into Satanism.

I’ll give you another example, as far as “Christian” music goes: those who love the kundalini derived, repetitive chants of a band like Jesus Culture, also have received demons to dwell in them.  In just one song, they sing the chant “Fill me up, God” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWCgyMaWcDs) at least 144 times, which goes directly against Jesus’ command to not pray repetitive prayers when he said,

"But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking” (Matthew 6:7).

So when you go to their concert or watch and sing along to their videos on the big screen at your local Church, and are chanting “Fill me up” over and over again, as the band starts quietly and gradually builds up the volume, tension and emotion through their play, and you feel something electric running through your body, that is a kundalini demon (derived from Hinduism) dealing with you, NOT GOD'S HOLY SPIRIT.  You broke God’s command by praying “repetitively” and now you have a demon.  It’s your fault.  You went against God and followed after the demons in the Jesus Culture band.

By the way, have you ever seen how they have had Jesus’ name as a little j on stage?

Oh, and here's the cover of their album which has the obvious illuminati pyramid:

Hmmm.  Satanists, to the core.

So, the supernatural things going on in Jesus Culture's paganistic religious orgies are completely and utterly demonic, and all of those Believers getting into it are receiving demons by them.

It seems there’s no place to hide from Satanic music these days.  To find pure music, you must search, and ask God to lead you by His Spirit.  But you know what?  More often than not, God will give you your own song to sing, and you can glorify Him by your own creativity.  Then you won’t have to rely on others for musical provision and you will be glorifying God of your own volition.  How great is that?!

But humans love music and are often lazy to create their own songs.  They just want others to give them songs all of the time.  But I assure you, if you are walking with God and His Spirit lives in you, a song of praise and love will form in your heart.  Just sing it! 

Shifting back to the “secular.”  I want to address the demonic forces involved in music.  

A person who loves the “Illuminati” music of our day, without question, is possessed by demons and in need of a spiritual house cleaning.

I have noticed over the years, anecdotally speaking, a number of people who were beginning to make their way to truth and God, but when the music they listened to was brought under the light, they began to wiggle and squirm, and to become so angry at the thought of losing their beloved music, even some of the most vulgar music you could possibly hear.  Music with clearly sinful and often Satanic themes, they just didn’t want to release and let go.

Their excuses would be, “I just like the music, I’m not listening to the words,” or “I like the beat.  I don’t care what they’re saying.”  

These statements show the depths of Satan’s deception over these gullible followers.  He gets them to sing words they don’t even care are coming out of their mouths, words which glorify demons, sin and the hatred of God and His ways.  

I mean, how could you sing, “Sympathy for the Devil” by the Rolling Stones or “Highway to Hell” by AC/DC and not have a devil in you?  It’s impossible.  If you sing those songs and like to do so, you are fully demonized.  Go look in your eyes in the mirror for 15 seconds and see if you don’t see evil in you.  There’s an evil spirit there, more than one most likely.  Better get them out. (How to do that at the end of the blog.)

Or what of these songs that speak of every vulgar sexual sin there could be and reduce God-created, loving sex meant for married couples into animalistic filth done with as many partners as possible?  If you sing those songs and think you’re not demonic, you’d be wrong there, too.

But it’s a true saying that most Satanists have no idea or are only vaguely aware that they are Satanists at all or even evil in any way, even as the bilge of sin from the songs they sing parts their lips each and every day.  This is the cleverness of the demons who indwell them. They are blind to the wickedness of what they’re singing, thinking it doesn’t matter, but let’s remember our prior quote from Jesus,

“...out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things...” (Matthew 12:34-35).

To be able to sing along with the Satanic musicians who glorify sin, Satan, death, drugs, drunkenness, hatred, murder, disrespect for proper authority (especially parents), fornication, adultery, etc., means that these sins are actually what is in our hearts. To add to that, flashing baphomet horn demonic hand signs only further shows how far, in a Satanic way, the person has sunk.

You can’t think that what parts your lips in song is not part of what is in your heart.  There’s no way a pure hearted person could sing those songs and actually feel right about it.  

For the pure hearted there is a conviction from the Holy Spirit (who lives in the hearts of those so filled) who gives us the unction that something isn’t right.  

If we love God, there’s no way we could sing those two songs (Counting Stars and Come With Me Now) discussed in my last blog.  Those songs are pure evil. 

If you’ve been singing them and didn’t catch that they were evil, your demons had you deeply deceived and you were not being led of the Holy Spirit when you sang them.  In this area of your life, you were being led of demons.  Time to get them out.  (Again, a prayer at the end of this blog will help you to do so.)

So, the people who think they can listen to and sing along to Satanic songs all because the music or beat is attractive, you are in a very dangerous place (it’s only attractive to the demonically controlled, and of course demons would make sure it is so that you will mindlessly listen to and sing their songs).  

This music has been a means for demons to lock you in and control you and the fact that it is nearly impossible for you even to consider letting this music go is letting you know that you are demonically possessed or oppressed and on your own “highway to hell."

It’s also letting you know that this music has become an idol for you.  Something you worship. Something that you put before God.  

God has said, “Thou shalt have no other gods before me” (Exodus 20:3).  This is the very first of the Ten Commandments.

If you can’t let go of music that is offensive to God, then that music is one of your gods and this makes up the spiritual/religious component of your musical idolatry and is the indicator of the demons within you.  Idols are always accompanied by demons. 

And these demons have greater control over you than you can even begin to realize.  It’s only when you get them out that you can understand just how much control they had.

So, if your eyes have been opened and you can see how your life is being controlled by music-related demons and you really want to purify yourself music wise, say this prayer, or something like it.

Father God, we come to you in Jesus’ mighty name, sorry for all of our sins, but especially for listening to and singing music with themes that glorify any and all kinds of sin against you, that glorify Satan, his demons, the Illuminati, and their ways.  (If any particular songs or bands scome to mind, confess having listened to and sung those songs and renounce the songs, the bands, and the demons behind every one.) We renounce each and every band, song, and demon as relates to the evil songs which have been in our hearts.  We also are sorry that we made this music and its themes our religion. We are sorry for putting it before you, your ways, and your righteousness, and for making those songs and bands our idols. We ask that you forgive us and wash us clean by the power of the shed blood of Jesus Christ. We praise you for doing that.  

And in the name of Jesus, as relates to music, we bind up, rebuke and command to leave every single demonic spirit that is inside of us that would try to remain as relates to this evil music.  In the name of Jesus, we rebuke, bind up and command to leave demons of Satanic music, satanism, musical idols, lies, hatred for God, hatred of Jesus and His followers, murder, the love of money, greed, lust, fornication, adultery, perversion, homosexuality, beastiality, sodomy, drugs, pharmacaia, alcoholism, drunkenness, debauchery, and every other demon that is glorified in the music we listened to.  (If you feel like belching, coughing or even puking, go ahead. Demons will ride the air right on out of you.) We command you to leave and never return.  And enter no other human while you’re at it, and no one in my family.  Go to the dry places where there is no rest, in Jesus’ mighty name!

And, in the name of Jesus, we loose in the place of these demons purity, clean hands, a pure heart, righteousness, the love of God, the love of truth, desire for music that glorifies God and righteousness, holy songs in our hearts, a spirit of giving, and every other holy thing.  

Father, we thank you for filling us with your Holy Spirit and ask for a generous supply so we can live holy lives in such dark days.  Be with us as we try to traverse a world filled with Satanism. Guide us on the narrow path that leads to life and a way from wide and broad road that leads to destruction.

We love you and praise you in Jesus’ mighty name.

If you said that prayer and coughed, burped, vomited, etc., that's good. Seriously, that’s what you want.  That means demons departed from you and the Holy Spirit was coming in.  People think encounters with God are always going to be these beautiful experiences, but if you have demons, when God comes in, it’s more like you’re getting spiritual toxins out when the demons leave and your body, soul and spirit will react accordingly.  Don’t try to stop yourself from doing so when that begins.  Indeed, help them along with a good cough of your own, and those demons will be expelled, and the goodness of God will take their place.

Keep fighting demons in this and every area of your life. If you’re being led to sin in any way, speak up to the demonic spirit behind the sin and in the name of Jesus tell him to leave and he will have to do so.  By the power of Jesus’ name and His shed blood, you can and will get free.

Then, the music of God will be all you’ll want to hear.

And then you’ll be a person known by your…good, God glorifying music.

If any one would like prayer regarding this, feel free to email me at douglasbandrew@gmail.com and we can exchange phone numbers and have at it.

God bless you all.
