The Message Is In The Music

17And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp. 18And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome: but the noise of them that sing do I hear.
Exodus 32:17-18 (King James Version)

I pray that you all are well in the will of the Lord on today. Some folks may be a tad bit chili due to the weather, but I love it. Continue to stay warm dry and protect your health. The photos below says it all of today topic…the message is definitely in the music. I’ll start off with the world and end with the world in the Christian community.

This is Britney Spears…




She’s looking mighty lustful on her brand new CD cover. The media says “she’s back”, but they didn’t finish the statement. Britney’s back to transform the minds of our innocent sons and daughters, which includes altering their minds into accepting & practicing homosexuality. Now with all that this young lady has been through nothing has changed…she still displays the behavior of a harlot. Take a look at the titles of her songs.

The Track Listing for Circus
1. Womanizer
2. Circus
3. Out From Under
4. Kill The Lights
5. Shattered Glass
6. If U Seek Amy
7. Unusual You
8. Blur
9. Mmm Papi
10. Mannequin
11. Lace And Leather
12. My Baby
13. Radar

Any of these titles sound wholesome to you? Yet there will be many young girls (and boys) with Britney’s Circus CD in their CD players, mp3 & mp4 players, their iPods, PSPs, etc. because the parents will not know any better and allow their kids to corrupt their own minds and become more numb to the Word God. Saints, we must not allow the idolization that our youth (adults as well) have for these superstars supersede that attention that God so rightfully deserves. Britney is on my prayer list, but I will not allow my children to be exposed to her just because they “love her” and are Britney’s number one fan. We have a discern more and not allow our feelings to get in the way of God’s command in raising our children.

There is a message in Britney’s song If U Seek Amy that may very well vex your spirit. I have to tell it like it is and I ask that you pray that God will allow you to become more involve in the lives of our youth than we are now…there is always room for improvement in all of us. Here are just a few lyrics to Britney’s song.

La la la lala la la la

La la la lala la la la

La la la lala la la la

La la la lala la la la

Oh baby, baby Have you seen Amy tonight?

Is she in the bathroom?

Is she smokin' up outside?

(Oh!)

Oh baby, baby

Does she take a piece of lime

For the drink that Imma buy her

Do you know just what she likes?

(Oh!)

Oh Oh

Tell me have you seen her

'Cause I'm so Oh

I can't get her off of my brain

I just want to go to the party she gon' go

Can somebody take me home

Haha hehe haha ho

Love me hate me

Say what you want about me

But all of the boys and all of the girls are beggin' to If U Seek Amy

Love me hate me

But can't you see what I see

All of the boys and all of the girls are beggin' to If U Seek Amy

Who is the world is Amy? This is what I immediately asked myself…and I knew that there was more to this. First of all, if you notice at the beginning of her verse she is displaying lesbian behavior in her wanting to find “Amy” and getting her flirt on. The punch line is in the last lines of the chorus “All of the boys and all of the girls are beggin' to If U Seek Amy”. If say make out the phrase “If U Seek Amy” in the song, you’ll actually hear and discern F-U-C-K Me. All of the boys and all of the girls are beggin’ to F-U-C-K Me. What is slick way to get all of our girls, boys, men and women to become more sexually aroused and perverted and many of them not know why after listening to songs like this. Like for yourself at the following link.

The media is becoming more corrupt as we live. Remember corrupt means an individual willing to act dishonestly in return for money or personal gain or they are evil or morally depraved. There are separate standards here and the church must speak against it. Please pass this along to everyone you know in order to at least get this across so folks can know. Folks the message is in the music.

15Were they brought to shame because they had committed abominations (extremely disgusting and vile things)? No, they were not at all ashamed, nor could they blush [at their idolatry]. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall; at the time that I punish them they shall be overthrown, says the Lord.

Jeremiah 6:15 (Amplified Bible)

Some or many may be upset with this one, but I have to tell it. Mary Mary is out with their fourth album The Sound. And when I heard the album, it sounded like trouble. Normally for me three or five songs was worth buying the whole CD (when I was purchasing secular music and there was no iTunes), but I cannot find one song on their album that I say is of the Lord. The cover of their album portrays them as if they’re going to the club. Who wears these garments to Christian functions?

And yes Family Christian Bookstore and many others are carrying their CD along with Wal-Mart and even store like Sam Goody. You should be very afraid when secular stores are carrying you albums to sell. The hit song Get Up was on ABC’s Ugly Betty. You really need to be afraid when your song sounds worldly enough to be on secular shows…wait a minute…that’s been going on for years now. The beats on this album are all secular…not a holy note from the heart in it. But they have a song on their album called Superfriend, and they have a very special guest on that song. Levell Crump, better known to the hip hop world as David Banner is feature on this track. Levell (I’ll call him Levell because that’s what his mother named him…somebody did!) is one of the top explicit secular hip hop artist that you would not want your parents to meet. Levell is so explicit that in 2003 he had an album titled Baptized in Dirty Water, which reverence no respect of the every living God…Levell only blasphemed our Lord Jesus Christ.

What makes this collaboration more sore vexed is that Levell has a 2008 album out right now titled The Greatest Story Ever Told, which also tells me that even if the brother gave his life to Christ, he needs to be sat down and taught the ways of Christ…for a while!!! In his rhyme on Mary Mary’s track makes no since what’s so ever. This is because you can’t drink from the cup of devils and sit at demons’ tables and do the same at God’s table (1 Corinthians 10:21). This is definitely idol worship and idol worship breaks that unity we have with God through the Lord’s Supper. The message is in the music.

Mary Mary sounds confused and poisoned in this following video. Did they just indicate that they were voting for change and “Lord knows we need it”? Sad that many Christians just don’t know they voted for someone who does not believe in Jesus Christ truthfully, but that’s another subject. Please join me in praying for them and many of our Christian artists who are not follow the instructions of the Bible the way God commanded us to.

22Though you offer Me your burnt offerings and your cereal offerings, I will not accept them, neither will I look upon the peace or thank offerings of your fatted beasts. 23Take away from Me the noise of your songs, for I will not listen to the melody of your harps. 24But let justice run down like waters and righteousness as a mighty and ever-flowing stream. Amos 5:22-24 (Amplified Bible)

Saints of God, the Lord is not playing with us and if we are not careful, we will allow the messages in many of today’s entertainment (whether secular or Christian) deceive us in falling away from the faith. It is time to stop wanting to have things our way and really repent, repent, repent, REPENT and return back to the favor of the Lord. The future of our church is dependant upon our children. If our children are corrupt, then the church will become more and corrupt. But there will be churches that continue to stand for righteousness and holiness. We must not allow the influences of evil to get in our way. Prophet Isaiah say it best in Isaiah 5:20 that, Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! (Amplified Bible)…we are living in that day right now. The message is in the music.

As we continue in this walk with Christ, we must make a vass decision. Either we are truly for Him or totally against Him. Continue to stand firm in Christ my brothers and sisters and allow God to use you to the best of your humble ability. Big thanks to my brother in the Lord, Michael "Mike" Plont of No More Ministries for sending me this information on Britney Spears. Love you bro and we can't do it alone and we won't. Be blessed on this day and know that Jesus loves you and I love you all too. Until the Sequel of Jesus.

Approved or Disapproved?

15Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15 (King James Version)

I pray that all is well with you on this beautiful God created day. How are you doing on the 31st day of 2007? Still standing firm in Christ? Still holding on to the hand of the Lord? I trust that you are and I continue to pray for each and every one of you. Do you ever think about God being pleased with your walk, or do you assume that He is happy with everything that you are doing? Do you go to the elders of the church and asked them how are you are doing in your walk, or do you assume that you are approved by God no matter what anyone says. So far this year, I have been meditating on God’s Word in 2 Timothy 2 about showing myself approved to God. I’ve also wondered (of course) if those with the same “Christian” title wonder the same thing about themselves.

I witnessed some highlights from this past Sunday’s celebration of gospel (shown on BET). I thank God for allowing me to find what I needed to see on my research sites and did not have to waste my time (or someone else’s) sitting on the couch being brainwashed of the false ministry that was being displayed. Before I go any further, let me just state that those I expose based on God’s Word are sent up in prayer by me and others I communicate with. So if I’m exposing their behavior, I’m definitely praying for them. I may not agree with or support their ministry, but I am praying for them out of the love of Jesus Christ. Back to the message.

There were footages that I witnessed from this flesh party (called Christian) that reminded me of the mess I witnessed as an unsaved lad growing up in church. Folk stating things that should have been kept to themselves. Steve Harvey looked very foolish many times during the commercial breaks, trying to justify for his lack of timely Christian growth. Harvey also showed signs that he’s not done with his dirty humor/ as he brought it on BET on Sunday. Various groups looking sad, artists trying to out sing each other instead of singing in unity. I am not a singer, but I don't think that you can combine lead singers that have the fame that they already have. And only one of them is a gospel artist (who dances secular). Look at what I am saying.

AND their walk does not line up with the Word of God, if they are not in true connection with the Holy Spirit of God…then I’m not trying to partake in the supper that they are eating. Too many times folk in the church are trying to do things to fast and refuse to listen to the rest of the instructions that God has given them. They hear the Lord say (through His Word and confirmation from their assigned pastor) “prepare to do a divine task”. But folk ignore the “prepare” and begin to “do the divine task” without ever PREPARING for whatever it is. Steve Harvey had no business hosting the Celebration of Gospel the past seven years (he bragged about this on this show) because he was never prepared spiritually to do this divine task. But ignorant pastors and Christians have influenced Steve Harvey and many other babe and unsaved artist/entertainers to accept Christ with their lips and have never given them time to accept Christ in his heart. The brother, as well as many other Christians babies need to be sat down, taught with the Word of God and discipled before being place out in the public to minister…folk are setting baby Christians up to fell in their walk.

Being approved means what remains after the testing. If you send metal through the fire to be refined, whatever is left is what’s approved. If you sit a young babe in Christ down, disciple that individual, teach them the Word of God, allow them to see you practice what you preach, allow them to go through some Christian testing trials & storms and continue to nurture them with charity (agape love)…then we can see what is approved by God and allow God to send that individual out for ministry in His timing (folk are forgetting the “in His timing” part). So many times in my walk I have moved too fast before it was time and it was God confirming things through my pastor and spiritual elders that I needed to slow down and stay on course, because I was busting my face in the process. Rightly dividing God’s Word mean being straight forward or “cutting straight” to the Word of Truth, not sugar coating it with feel good message and secular behavior.

God's Truth is the only thing that defines that nature of His Scripture. It is the Light of Truth that shines in the darkness of all lies. Folk who are ministering in any type of way they please should make sure that they handle God’s Word accurately. Failure to do so will very well lead to Divine Judgment (James 3:1). Speaking of this, I feel a part two coming on. I can’t understand why folk think they need a piece of paper to preach the Gospel of Jesus. Nothing’s wrong with having a degree or a license, but this doesn’t make it legit to preach God's Word. Yeah, lets talk about this tomorrow. Be blessed on this day and know that Jesus loves you and I love you all too. Until the Sequel of Jesus.
