This causes people to enter into a trance like state where they'll believe false doctrine. We are to love the Lord with all our heart, all our soul and ALL OUR MIND. So turning off half your brain and going into an alpha state of consciousness opens the door to the enemy.

Somehow I think we'll hear the right words when everything is finished and we're home with Him forever. =)Ramonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03694246018677395516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27942026.post-33537053667138567562012-12-17T10:27:36.466-05:002012-12-17T10:27:36.466-05:00I've often wondered too about worship music an...I've often wondered too about worship music and draw the same conclusions as here. We all sin, and those who wrote the lyrics and music were inspired to do it for the Lord. If there were problems in their lives, before, during or after their inspiration to write, that doesn't affect how their music draws us to the Lord. Those who till the garden and planted the seeds paved the way for others in future to reap the seeds of their labor of love. Now the harvest. I just pray that all those who wrote such inspirational music and performed will always stay with the Lord. <br /><br />But if I forget who the words were written by, who performs the music and focus on the Lord while worshipping, it glorifies Him and I have peace. If I'm thinking about how wonderful the song sounds and how the musicians are so talented, I kind of sink in the water, like Peter. <br /><br />If one song can inspire someone to lift up their hearts to God, then it's good. As soon as my mind wanders, I sink like a stone and have to get my mind totally back on Jesus. <br /><br />God is so amazing that he invented music and puts that gift in us. Of course, I remember hearing pastors talk about how Satan was the most beautiful angel in heaven before the fall, and he was the head angel of worship, and whether this is biblical or not, it's been said that he was the head musician. Regardless, God is the creator and created music and like everything, a gift in us can be used to glorify God, or glorify ourselves. <br /><br />I can't imagine what kind of beautiful music there awaits chrisians in heaven.
