The Influence of Music and Movies
Romon Gore at 8:29am June 19
Simple question....what's the benefit?
Joshua Eze at 8:34am June 19
First you have to ask yourself does it benefit your spiritual man? next you have to ask yourself who inspired the producers, the writers, or the performers? If its not God Inspired WHY Listen to it if we are to be unspotted...

We always argue and say "it doesn't affect me" as you listen to songs about sex and what not, but we keep asking God to deliver us from pornography and lust. When you water a seed it grows. We continuously water the seed but ask God to uproot it. Faith without works is dead!
We want all the benefits, but we don't want to sacrifice anything for it.

Many people are uninformed that yea there are demons oh and that there is a devil and oh and they do have an agenda. If you are unaware of their agenda then you could be in the middle of it being easily deceived... Everything in this world is a tool influenced only by 2 powerhouses God and Satan both are after our hearts and our minds to help or to hinder us so ask yourself who has influenced your music which is influencing you... remember you are a spiritual being and if you are a spiritual being ask yourself who is your spiritual opposition?
Joshua Eze at 8:56am June 19
Yea because our hearts are connected to what we don't want to sacrifice... How can we say we LOVE God and also LOVE what he hates: people have a misconception about God, once again "thinking" and not knowing,that He HATES sin and anything contaminated by it... God is (Just) not earthly Fair, His justice will be determined by His word and not the ... Read Moreopinions of pastors or you... So if He hates sin and anything contaminated by sin then why partake of those things that are BOLDLY declaring the things He hates!

Its compromise. We are compromising our relationship with God over a cheap thrill. And to be honest most music and movies suck now anyways. So most of the time we are just seeing it or listening to it so that we don't feel "left out" when other people talk about it. God forbid we be the PECULIAR people, the chosen generation that we are supposed to be.
Joshua Eze at 9:12am June 19
LOL God Forbid we use that time on actually saving and impacting souls....God Forbid.... Yea it is compromise, We have to understand the heart of God... His heart beats for the lost, His heart beats to have a relationship with humanity, His heart beats to be with US, But we choose to have our hearts beat for the world and the pleasures of it...Ask yourself how much time do you spend with God versus the time you spend with YOUR Music and YOUR Movies? When you tally those up then let me know which one you love more... Time and Energy is everything. whatever you spend the most time and energy in is what you love the most, you can say from your lips you love God but does your heart and your lifestyle line up with what you are saying?

Yeup, I mean I don't think all movies are bad because I love movies personally, and music, but you know when the content is detrimental to the growth of your spirit man. The problem is most of the time we watch it or listen to it anyways. Obviously, happy brithday isn't a "christian" song, but its not damaging your spirit man and in no way, shape,or form. But what is aggravating to me is when people act like listening to "we are the champions" is the same as listening to "back that thing up". Then we have the audacity to get frustrated because we find ourselves praying over and over for forgiveness of the same sin. Swearin to God well never do it again. Then when we get back in the car we are filling our head with sex and money. Wonderin why we can't resist looking for the latest nude photos of celebrities and watchin porn all night. Or lustin after that girl in the church

WoW! amen! This is awesome! So many people are walking around deceived and they think they have it all together. Words are spirits, and when we let devil influenced words enter our bodies we allow the devil's spirits to enter us. So when we watch movies that have a little fornication in it, a little cursing in it, a little witchcraft in it, a little homosexuality in it, we allow a "little" bit of each of those spirits in us. Then we wonder why we always seem to attract negativity and problems. Why life seems so "hard' and we are so confused. The devil that has entered inside of you is now attracting the devil on the outside of you. That’s why we must die daily. Renew our minds daily and make a conscience decision to let God live inside of us EVERYDAY because both God and the devil can’t live in the same place and if God is there, the evil has to go!!

What God creates is first Pure... He created our ability to create (pure)... He created music and he created the comedic and the suspenseful attributes of movies portrayed by men and woman (pure)... since the fall of man our pure nature has been fighting against our sinful nature. Nature means a quality or an attribute... So our Pure nature or our pure qualities or attributes are constantly battling against our Sinful nature or our corrupt qualities and attributes now the Bibles says in Luke that we are to crucify our flesh (sinful nature) Daily, why does Jesus warn us to crucify it daily? because this world is full of things that are tailored to that nature. This is why satan influenced music and made YOU to believe that its ok, having you to only see the natural and to have you deem them harmless but he doesnt want you to see the spiritual side of the daily increasing of the Sinful nature over our pure nature...
Joshua Eze at 9:46am June 19
because if he can continue to feed that nature then the voice of God will become ever more faint and unheard... Satan comes in subtly through music and movies aiming subliminal messages into your spirit man, you might not see the effects of it now or even a year from now but when the time is right that lust will creep up and override you, that anger will creep up and override you whatever is that YOU allowed to enter in will creep in and when tested will override you...
Joshua Eze at 9:51am June 19
that is soooooo true... anything that is nurtured will grow... thats why the Bible continues to talk about seeds and the seed process... everything in this life is a seed... EVERYTHING... we all came from a seed, every plant came from a seed every idea comes from a seed everything comes from a sown seed... if we continue to nurture sinful seeds we will reap what? a Lustful, a prideful and a corrupted harvest... if we fail to realize the seriousness of life and how serious this thing between the spiritual powerhouses then we will never understand who we are and what we are here to do...
