There’s benefits with listening to instrumental music, and benefits with just singing a cappella. And when we put music and singing together, there is possibly a greater impact on our well being.
If secular music has these benefits, how much more does anointed music from the throne of Heaven change our mood, brings peace and calmness, bring us into a place of praise and worship, helps to lead us into His presence with joy unspeakable and full of glory!
God knew this, He is the creator of singing and music. He gave men the wisdom and knowledge to create musical instruments. He gave the gift of music and singing to the world, to praise Him, to glorify Him. There is singing in Heaven, there are harps being played in Heaven. God asked Job, where were you when the morning stars sang together (Job 38). Apostle John seen those that had gotten the victory over the beast with the harps of God, (Rev. 15:2). Anointed music has many benefits also. 1 Samuel 16:23; says And it came to pass when the evil (tormenting) spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took a harp, and played with his hand, so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.
The power of anointed music drives tormenting spirits away!
2 Chronicles 20:21; And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the Lord, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD for his mercy endures forever. And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and Mt. Seir which were come against Judah, and they were smitten.
God stepped in, that’s the power of praise, the power of the anointing through music and singing! God will come on the scene, He will fight your battle, He will bring victory!
1Chronicles 25:1; Moreover David and the captains of the host separated to the service of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophecy with harps , and psalteries, and with cymbals.
This prophesying doesn’t mean to foretell a future event, but that the singing and music should be as one to speak to the hearts of the people, to sing of the wonders of God. The instruments has no power on its own until it is in the hands of a skilled player, then the music becomes anointed through hands that are anointed of God, to prophecy!
2 Chronicles 5:13-14; It came to pass even as the trumpeters and the singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD, and when they lifted up their voices with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the LORD saying, for He is good, and his mercy endures forever, that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD, so that the priests could not continue to minister by reason of the cloud, for the glory of the LORD had filled the house.
When music prophesies. Listen to good anointed music and singing. Sing unto the Lord yourself. Get into the praise and worship in your church, and see where the anointing takes you. The anointing destroys the yoke. Let anointed music and singing lift you up, bring peace and joy, calm your spirit, change your outlook. When music prophecies to your heart and mind, there is great benefits!
