through Him, or by Him. Once this concept dissolves into you, you will not want of new songs, or
music or creativity. He becomes the bottomless well from which you draw.
THE POWER OF MUSIC
Maybe as I am talking to you, you are not really getting the picture of how powerful music is. Look
at a few examples of how music was used to unleash God's power. This is not a handbook for
141
Satanism , so I do not talk about how Satan's followers use music to unleash their master's limited
power.
CITY WALLS FELL DOWN FLAT
Can you imagine unarmed trumpeters overthrowing a city as big as London by simply marching
around it and blowing on their trumpets and shouting? No?
However, when one plugs into the source of the power  the whole city the size of London can
come down flat. You might think that this is far fetched, but it is not. God's power can do more than
you credit Him. "Now to Him who by the power at work within us is ABLE TO DO FAR MORE
ABUNDANTLY THAN ALL THAT WE ASK OR THINK" (Ephesians 3:20  RSV).
JOSHUA 6:20 (RSV)
So the people shouted, and the trumpets were blown. As soon AS THE PEOPLE HEARD THE SOUND OF THE
TRUMPET, the people raised a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every
man straight before him, and they took the city.
There is power in God and that power can be released through music. The only way to experience
the fullness of God's power in us is to play by His rules  APEL Truth.078
If you want to soar beyond the visible heights, you have to do exactly as God says, in your daily life
and in your music. It sounds like too much of a price to pay, but why would you want anything other
than God's best. Why would you want the world's best if it does not even compare with God's least 
that is if God had weaknesses?
PRISON WALLS CAME DOWN
Think of maximum-security prisons! Think of a method if any, to break the prison down and set
every prisoner free. I cannot think of any. Not even the best escape artists can set the prisoners free
from a maximum security prison  at least we are made to believe. God can  look how He did it!
Positive In Adversity
Two guys, without ever having taken music lessons or held music diplomas, they sang and praised
God and guess what?
ACTS 16:25-26 (RSV)
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
26 And suddenly there was a great EARTHQUAKE, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and
immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.
Imagine you are in prison  you did nothing wrong, but you were locked up for a crime you did
not commit. How natural would deciding that the best thing to do was to sing and praise God be? The
prisons in those days were most likely not equipped with comfortable furniture. I would not be
142
surprised if the prisons had muddy floors with crawling insects. Nevertheless, these two SANG
AND PRAISED GOD! We catch a cold, and blame God for everything.

This was also not the best time to sing, it was at midnight! But they sang so loud that the other
prisoners heard them, I bet the real criminals were not amused by it at first. The next thing that followed
was an earthquake so aggressive that the foundation of the prison were shaken. Now this was no
natural earthquake, that selectively loosened shackles. This is the power of praise through music! You
will not have God's best until He has the rest of you  APEL Truth.079
Neighbours with God
What do you think would happen if you went to a house where God lived? Say, down the street
where you live there was a house and in there lived God Almighty with His Son Jesus Christ and the
Holy Spirit!
Do you not suppose that God's power would regularly be witnessed at that house, as if it were
flowing out constantly? In fact, there is a house in your street where this can become a reality  and
that house could be you.
JOHN 14:23
Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and WE
WILL COME UNTO HIM, AND MAKE OUR ABODE WITH HIM.
It says with him, meaning you will not be left out! You will not be a spectator! When God's power
143 144
starts to ooze out of your inner being , you will be part of it.
ARMY AMBUSH
Sometimes you face a situation in life out of which you cannot seem to see your way. King
Jehoshaphat in Jerusalem faced such a situation. The Lord said to him to stop worrying and sing. That
is what He told him. He said to him not to worry because God would do the rest  and He gave him
instructions on how to go about letting God take over.
Stop Worrying?
"And He said, Listen, all Judah, and you people of Jerusalem, and king Jehoshaphat! So says the LORD to you,
do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude. For the battle is not yours, but God's. Tomorrow,
go down against them. Behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz. And you shall find them at the end of the valley,
before the wilderness of Jeruel. You shall not fight in this battle. Set yourselves and stand, and see the salvation of
the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem. Do not fear not be dismayed. Tomorrow go out against them, for
the LORD will be with you." (2 Chronicles 20:15-17  MKJV).
Then God told them to be still. Can you imagine fighting against a super power and not having to
lift a hand to win? Imagine Swaziland waging war against the US and hoping to win? The two
countries are not the same size and the odds would not be good for the smaller country, would they?
King Jehoshaphat was afraid and he went to God for help, and God came to his rescue. God will
manifest Himself when you seek His face.
2 CHRONICLES 20:22
And when THEY BEGAN TO SING AND TO PRAISE, THE LORD SET AMBUSHMENTS AGAINST the children [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
