Beyond the Gates of Splendor (Mood Music)

~ Supplemental Material ~

"Whenever the evil spirit from God affected Saul, David would take the lyre and play it. Then Saul would relax and feel better and the evil spirit would leave him alone."

- 1 Samuel 16:23

Music is one of the most powerful mood altering instruments that exists. Anyone can attest to this capability by examining one's personal experience of a song being played and the evoking of emotions or memory that occurs.

Scientific research has been conducted to see the effect of music on humans and other organisms. Besides altering moods; music has shown to increase productivity and help cognitive abilities. For animals, it's shown to have similar mood altering capacities as well.

When it comes to fish; certain musical styles will cause them to swim in an organized pattern. Music's effects have also been tested on plants. Calm, relaxing music helps the development of the plants, opposed to environments where no music is played.

Water has also been tested and the results are surprising. The structure of water is altered, based on the type of music or sound that's used. Sounds that are calming, causes water to form patterns similar to that of snow flakes. On the other hand; hard jarring sounds, create crystal formations that are irregular and distorted.

When it comes to the passage that's quoted on the top of this post; this further illustrates how the power of music also has ripple effects, that go beyond this material realm. This adds to the significance of praising God, as it's done via music.

Unfortunately, in the world of the "Christian Pharisees," also known as the Christian legalist; they make claims that Christians can only listen to Christian music and for the more strict amongst them; only hymns.

The problem with such a position; there's not one verse in the Bible that makes such claims. They will often cite how Satan was an archangel, that was made with musical instruments and was the leader of the worship of God. Taking aside some of the technical problems with such thinking; the most direct argument against; one doesn't equal the other.

If such a point is consequential; why is there no clear cut mandate made in the Bible? Even in the situation with King Saul and David; God never makes it a point to indicate that David played worship music or any other type of religious song.

As true to form, with many of the Christian Pharisees; they will use bait-and-switch tactics to conflate their position. To justify their position, they will use passages such as:

"Therefore, ridding yourselves of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent, humbly receive the implanted word, which is able to save your souls."

- James 1:21

This argument is akin to sex. God has created sex and only allows it under the bonds of marriage. Anything that isn't under such context, is sin. When it comes to music; there are songs that glorify sin: sex outside of marriage; unjustified use of violence; breaking the law, etc., yet not every secular music advocates sin.

As such, to use such an argument, is more to manipulate people to agree with the Christian Pharisees, then to be a Biblical Christian. Christian Pharisees delight in gaining power and control over people's lives.

Christian Pharisees' objectives are exactly the same as many politicians. Modern day politicians, tend to be people with the psychological make up of those wanting to be idolized. They create or help sustain problems because if they fix these problems, there would be no need for them any longer.

Which is why, it shouldn't be a surprise that many of the things that Christian Pharisees advocate; cripple a Christian, opposed to empowering one. The legalistic rules with music, made by Christian Pharisees, is just one example.

"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge."

- Hosea 4:6

Many Christians deal with their struggles by praying and or reading the Bible. Christian Pharisees are huge advocates of using ONLY these two means of handling a spiritual situation. It's also why you see many Christians fail with being overcomers. Ever heard of the Battle of Jericho (Joshua 6)?

For the typical believer; they go to these Christian Pharisees, tell them of their failure and they will say a pep talk; maybe even pray for the disheartened believer. These Christians, that are only trying to be obedient to God but are hooked into the continuation of the cycle of psychological abuse.

It's important to keep in mind, as Christians; the Bible does say we are to have some level of interdependence with each other but the relationship dynamic that exists with Christian Pharisees and those attached to them; is similar to a cult and not a healthy relationship spoken of in the Bible.

To situate one's self, so that an individual can be victorious, as a Christian and be the person God wants them to be; start using all resources available. Utilize music as an effective tool that God has given His creation.

Instead of mindlessly using music as entertainment or background noise; start using it for your improvement. The way to do so, pay attention. See what songs affect you in the manner it does.

The way a song works on you, make it start working for you instead. If you're struggling with motivation or the type that frequently falls into those emotional slumps; use songs that get you energized; where you feel like you can conquer the world.

Every Christian will; at some point, go through situations of doubt or emotional hardship. This is where having songs that stir up that sense of God loving you; should be part of your musical collection.

It isn't about the words to the song that matter (with the exception of that which encourages sin) but how you respond emotionally. How you respond emotionally; is the way in which you need to create a playlist of music, that will help you in whatever particular situation you're in.

When you combine that along with praying or reading the Bible; you increase your ability to succeed; getting you through whatever life will throw at you. Below are resources to help equip you with tools, to have a successful Christian journey.

With the discussion of music, there's also another aspect that needs to be addressed. For anyone that feels that they are better off sticking only to Christian music or even just hymns; that's fine. Everyone needs to do whatever is best for them.

The important thing isn't to belittle or judge a person for their decision with what they listen to. Again, the only real problem is any piece of music that encourages sin. Beyond that, God is the only person that we need to honor with what we do, not the opinions of other people.

To gain the most optimal usage of music in your personal life: pray. Ask God to help you to understand the best way to use music in your life and to help put your playlist together. This is something that should be done on a regular basis, so that during your time on this planet; you are always in a position of getting the most out of what you're listening to.
