Discern the Spirit Behind Every Song

You don’t sing every song simply because it sounds good. Behind each melody lies a spirit, a message, and an atmosphere. Music carries beliefs, burdens, desires, doctrines, and spiritual influences. Scripture tells of David playing before Saul, and the spirit troubling Saul departed. If sound can drive away evil, it can also invite influences in. Judge songs not only by rhythm or vocals but by their source and effect. Some tunes stir lust, pride, rebellion, or depression behind appealing melodies. Others awaken hunger for God, purity, conviction, worship, and truth. Ask yourself: What does this song produce in me? Does it draw me closer to Jesus and strengthen holiness, or does it merely excite the flesh? Guard your heart, for what you repeatedly hear will shape your life.
