Need an lift?? My wife has been in the blues and I've been trodding along . Then a thought came. "A merry heart worketh like a medicine. "I simply pulled up my AOL radio and clicked on Southern Gospel.
WOW ..the power of good music is incredilbe. The wife is smiling and my soul is rejoicing.
Phil. 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Rev,
She is having those empty nest syndrome. I 'd forgotten how much in my early days thatI used to have music playing almost 24/7. Man I'm really getting ministered to right now asI type you my reply. And...there are loads of selections on AOL.As i'm slowin gdown in years I really appreciate the he Southern Gospel...a nice way to hear God's message.Easily intreated and full of mercy. We put our TV in storage a few days ago and it's been getting boring. So I got out a board game..called up my mother in law and we had a good time. I put the music on as background and it truly lifted our spirits. Thank you Jesus for music and coffee.

Did you know that demons can't stand worship Music ?

You may have something there Alex. My wife meant our new principal last week and has been in tears everyday. Words are very powerful and he hurt my wife's feelings. BUT...when I put the music on it didn't take long and the entire atmosphere in our home.changed. I just got done talking with Chuck Renfrow.We both had the music on and had a very nice time.{ INstant messinger}I think I'll leave it on. Like i said ...I think you have a point. and a good one. When I was a brand new Christian I was so afraid of backslidding so I had Christian music on no - stop and it helps alot "for an idle mind is the devil's workshop." The praise of God keeps that mind filled with good stuff. Thank you Jesus!!!
Song playing now is Grace that is greater than All our sin
I learned that Years ago, now we play music all day long at the house.
Did you know that demons can't stand worship Music ?
When my boys were in their teens I would go in their rooms at night and they would have on some hard rock station. I asked them who was standing at the foot of their bed listening to music, Angels or demons ... Soon when I would go in their bedrooms at night, they would have Christian music.....
music calms the savage beast, like norman vincent peele used to say, whenever a situation is going bad interject positive thoughts and steer the content away from damageing behaivour/thoughts
