Yes, I have angry music! What is angry music you might be asking? If you don’t mind, I’m going to answer that in a roundabout way…
Some people like to believe that every day is a sunshine and roses day and most of us are not naïve enough to think that’s true. We know it’s not true for our lives, so then we know its not true for someone else’s, right? So, when you hit that day where it feels like the wheels have come off of the proverbial bus, you need to deal with how you feel. Now, this isn’t me telling you how to deal with that kind of day (no ways!) but, I have a sneaking suspicion that you, just like me, bring music into the equation. Of that fact, I’m almost certain!
Ok, so this is how it goes with me: I realize this is not a sunny day, emotionally speaking. Sometimes I’m low, you know what I mean, and on another day I might be angry, or frustrated. Now don’t act like you never feel these things! It’s ok, we’ve been wired like this by God. The problem is when we deal with these feelings in an inappropriate way. Like sinning in our anger, or being dishonest, or hurting someone. But I digress…back to the music, right?! What music do I listen to when I’m overcome with a particular emotion? It is almost always very heavy rock! Very heavy. Now finding the source of that kind of music is the key here. For you it might be a different genre totally, but I feel the same rules apply: let the source have the kind of content that can actually give you a helping hand out of where you are at, and I’ve listened to far too many bands that have allowed me to sink even deeper into where I’m not supposed to be anyway! So we need people that rock out something serious but still put out the kind of lyrics that we can relate to because we’re just human. But also the kind of music where the Holy spirit remains active and involved. Now, let’s not think that the Holy Spirit is defeated by Rage Against the Machine, but why add extra smoke and mirrors that create even more confusion in a time where clarity is most needed?
If you want to chat to us about any of this, or even find out what kind of music we would recommend based on what you love to listen to, then get in touch. I maintain that music is very powerfully used by God to touch hearts but that the enemy is as able to use it to your disadvantage as well. Take control, be uplifted and be blessed. I’m convinced that this is the most powerful and appropriate way to use music. The Israelites achieved victory by simply sending the musicians in first, without a single sword being swung or arrow being fired!
