1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
I had heard a tune & some lyrics that was played as background music in one of the closing scenes on Smallville: a TV show. It was from Green Day entitled "I Walk Alone".
I had bought the CD and copied it on my own home computer to play it whenever I wanted to hear it while I was on it.
Thing was, I was bothered by the lyrics.
GREEN DAY - I WALK ALONE LYRICS
So I decided to change the lyrics in my head as I am not alone because Jesus is with me always.
No matter how much I had tried, the lyrics in my head went back to the original. So I removed it from my home computer. When I had done that, it was right after that when the computer started playing that song faintly in the background. I looked all over to find out how that could have happened because I did not push play but delete.
I wondered if it was in my head, and so in testing it, I had walked away and the sound of the music faded away and when I came back, I could hear it as I got closer. I went downstairs and went back to the area of the basement where my desk would be under and I heard the same thing. I got my brother, Matt, whom was living in the basement at that time but he heard nothing.
There has been several other times in my life when I was confronted with the supernatural in relation to music.
One was when I had awaken at 3:15 in the morning and as I was lying there, I heard church bells in the distance. I was able to make out what it was ringing as it was playing "the theme from M.A.S.H.". I had gotten up to wake up my folks but they heard nothing. I went back to bed and plugged my only good ear ( deaf in left ear with tinnitus in right ear ) to make sure I was not hearing it in my head and sure enough, I was not. But several tests later as time wore on, I finally did hear it in my head and so I began praying to Jesus for help. Eventually, in spite of my fretting, it I did fall asleep., but it did go away as I had not heard it in the morning upon awakening. BUT that morning on the news, I was informed that the original title to the theme from M.A.S.H was "Suicide Is Painless".
I had thanked the Lord that the creepy church bells went away.
Another one when I was living away from the home I grew up in, was when I heard a high school band playing while I was laying in bed. I looked out my apartment window and saw nothing to indicate the source of the song which was a battle theme before the game starts.
I did not know it at that time, but I was going to be confronted with a moral crisis of not wanting the person that I love and she had departed from faith & started living with a guy and so I was led astray figuring there was something wrong with me for not wanting the person I honestly loved, blaming myself for her downfall because my love profitted her nor me nothing for not wanting her. Needless to say I would never have wanted her when she was so young, but yet I had thought something was wrong with me for not wanting anyone period so that my love would be of value to anyone.
So I did the wrong thing and sown to the flesh to have that natural affection towards women. STUPID.
The Lord delivered me out of that mess. It took a long time too. But I am grateful for the Lord for being my Good Shepherd in delivering me from that corruption and for keeping me still.
So that was why I had heard that "music" as it was announcing some stupid fiery trial that was about to commence.
The one about the church bells... I am still living it as my life has turned for the worse wherein I might as well be dead, but I take comfort in the Psalms in sharing with their sufferings and with the prophetic dreams since I had been a tot did forewarn me that this was going to happen to tell me that Jesus is still Lord and my getting to know Him & the power of His resurrection as He helps me walk this valley of death is myassurance that He will see me through in being my Friend in keeping me as His friend.
Anyway: getting back to music: sometimes I believe there is a supernatural attachment to them especially when the words are something the Lord does not want playing around in your head for "entertainment", but the devil does.
1 Corinthians 15:33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. 34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
1 Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. 12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
2 Corinthians 10:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice. 5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
Psalm 19:9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. 10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. 11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. 12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults. 13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. 14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.
Trust your Good Shepherd to know when certain forms of entertainment is messing with your thoughts & thus your walk with Him to put that "weight" away.
Hebrews 12:1Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
1 Corinthians 10: 12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. 13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
1 John 1:4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full. 5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Jude 1:24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, 25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
