Christ-centered music is attacked in today’s world.

1 Samuel 18:10-11

 “And it happened on the next day that the distressing spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied inside the house.” 1 Samuel 18:10a.

 I think we can all imagine what it is to prophesy with a distressing spirit. It would be like someone in a bad mood saying what is going to happen and what he’s going to do, which would amount to various types of threats. It would be threatening to God, the ministry of Jesus Christ, and a grievance to the Holy Spirit.

“So David played music with his hand, as at other times; but there was a spear in Saul’s hand.” 1 Samuel 18:10b 

Saul was hearing David’s soothing music, but Saul was vigilant against David, in a very sour mood, and held a spear in his hand. This is like those who have a disdain for music which worships the name of Jesus through the Holy Spirit.

“And Saul cast the spear, for he said, “I will pin David to the wall!” But David escaped his presence twice.” 1 Samuel 18:11 

Those who govern by the mark of the beast throw spears at the music which worships Jesus Christ. That is why the churches of today play contemporary music that sounds churchy but does nothing to worship Jesus. They intend to pin the Spirit of Jesus Christ to the wall and put an end to worshipping Him. Even today, it’s impossible to listen to Christ-centered music without some type of interference that steals the worship mood. “Spears” are constantly being thrown at music which worships Christ, but within the heart of Believers, a song of worship will live on for Jesus.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

Colossians 3:16-17

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:1
