Spiritual warfare: Music and taking it in for a landing (can I do it)
Lord please help me convey what You would here. Help to set people free from bondages.
I elaborated on the various types of music; but the general theme is that it is a powerful driver of men's lives. In modern movies it varies from the stereotypical 1980s music to today's style. The reflection of the spirit of the age made a radical transformation from ideological influences in the late 60s and early 70's to the materialism and shallow affections of those in the 1980s. We could think that everyone was succeeding in the corporate world seeing movies at that time; and of course the 9 to 5 movie was women's revenge on the man centered corporate world at the time. This began a depersonalization as well so that as music was dumbed down the basic element it was conveying is there with no real substance behind it reflecting dumbed down minds at the time. Once drugs and immorality passed the initial shock and awe in their glorification the themes then went to self destruction and violence without any moral compass. Today's music is either covertly or overtly Satanic; just look at the top 10 today and I'll bet its always like that (I last looked a few years back).
What music inspires needs to be investigated. While it is true a married couple can have some sanctimonious memories from the past; much of today's so called innocent country for instance glorifies one night stands in particular. Whether the music affects the musician or vice versa the spirit of the age whatever it is brings about destruction. That is a major point here!
The most difficult thing for me is stuff that is beautiful music harmonically and sung with great talent that leads us astray. It will not release us in our minds we become in bondage to whatever the spirit behind it conveys. As with great and Godly music of the past something can be intriguing but lead us toward darkness. God must be the focus!
