Re: [Worship] Secular Music



Just a few things to this thread
 
Since ALL things exist because of God's permission, I believe that music and musicians can be reclaimed by believing musicians for the kingdom.
 
It has become a practice at the Morningstar Heart of David Conferences that a secular song is sung, sometimes with the words changed with permission and claimed back for the kingdom.
 
The last one was "Come Together Over Me" by the Beatles.
 
Larry Norman has a song that says "Why should the Devil have all the good Music"...
 
Give Larry a listen sometime...he knows the pulse of the lost
 
James and Betty Robison are having a conference called 'Forever Young"....you guessed it, the theme song...Rod Stewart...forever young....
 
Finally....I listen often to secular music....some of the most profound messages I have received in my 45 years have come from that genre
 
I also want to know what the cries of this generation are...
 
thanks for the indulgence

I have been crucified with Christ;
it is no longer I who live, but
Christ lives in me; and the life which
I now live in the flesh I live by faith
in the Son of God, who loved me
and gave Himself for me...Gal 2:20

hmmm....about the stairway to heaven..I read somewhere that when played backwards, it is satanic. But there is a song ( I forgot the title ) but it is something like 'road to hell'..or maybe even 'stairway to hell' or something like that. When that song was played backwards, there were voices praising Jesus! Funny how titles can be tricky!  But another...Hotel California is a famous song among the youths in my church and they play the song with their instruments once in a while...what is wrong with that song? I haven't heard anything bad about yet.
 
Sorry if this is off topic but as worshippers of Christ I think it is good to know what songs have been corrupted by satan. If anyone knows of other songs like these...could you let us know please?
 
I also read that some songs by the Beatles were corrupted by satan but it was unknown to the Beatles themselves. Apparently, someone in the studio did something really evil.
