When my daughters were much younger, one of the demands I have to meet is helping them to clarify which song is “Jesus song” or good enough for them to listen to. One day, they overheard one of these church songs being rendered in an ungodly setting. They asked; “Daddy, can we dance? Is it Jesus’ song?” That led me into a discussion with them about spiritual songs.
Friend, learn to sing spiritual songs. Truly, songs are powerful. They are vehicles for transportation in the spirit. Songs are not ordinary. They represent something in the spirit. We need to understand and carefully consider a number of things about songs; the source, the spirit, the singer, the setting, the substance, as well as the skill.
There is something called the Lord’s song. It is the song of Zion (Psalms 137:4). They are songs that define us as God’s people. Songs are spiritual. Songs are prophetic. Songs are connected to a source beyond the natural. Having been into music in Heaven before his fall, the devil still has influence on songs today.
There are spirits behind songs and sounds (Daniel 3:4-7). Songs will always take you back to where they originate from. This is why you need to know the source of songs before you give yourself to them. Songs connect you to a realm beyond your reasoning or emotion.
Songs have the power to bypass your reasoning into your subconscious. This is why you can find yourself tapping your feet in response to an ungodly song unknowingly. Guard your heart against such wrong influences (Proverbs 4:23). There is nothing like causal song or practice in the realm of the spirit (Ecclesiastes 5:6).
One way to break into the prophetic side of your destiny is to leverage spiritual songs (2 Kings 3:15). Psalms are not ordinary; they are prophetic (Psalms 110:1-3, Colossians 3:16). Don’t discard songs given to you by God (Isaiah 30:29-30). There are times you wake up with songs, don’t joke with such moments. There is a traffic in the spirit that God is trying to bring you into. Songs are powerful. Learn to sing spiritual songs.
