SINGING:Key to Inspiration

1 Corinthians 14:14-15

Music is powerful because like prayer it has the ability to tune the human spirit to a frequency where it can receive revelation, ideas, impulses, impressions, visions, dreams and strategies from the spiritual world. It’s easier to remember musical notes than it is to remember mere words because the human mind has the capacity to interpret complex information passed through musical notes.

Also, music is one of the best ways to preserve information. Most of Moses’ messages were put in songs and that helped people remember.

Music gives inspiration and inspiration is the key to revelation. Revelation is a powerful resource

And to get the best out of God, we need revelation. In II Kings 3:9-17, it is recorded that at a particular time when Elisha needed revelation from God, he called in the musicians to put him on the frequency where he would hear from God.

Also in the book of Acts, Paul and Silas sang their way through the chains, fetters and doors. Music set David apart in the Bible, God simply loved him.

Our world is influenced by both positive and negative spiritual realities and the kind of music we listen to determines the kind of inspiration we get, influences the kind of revelation we get; therefore, we must be careful about our choices of the kind of music we listen to. Some music inspire lust and other devilish ideals.

Colossians 3:16 admonishes us to sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs which will not only edify us but also facilitate revelation from heaven. It is necessary that we sing in tongues also; this can be achieved by singing first with our understanding and then transferring the rhythm to tongues. With this form of singing we touch the supernatural. While doing this, let’s ensure that our minds are focused on God and the specific issues we need to capture. Applying the ideas we receive brings breakthroughs, making life easier.

Not every one is blessed with the ability to sing in public. Some of us sing like canaries and the rest of us croak like toads! Whichever category we fall into, let’s keep on singing and croaking!
