Prayer
to Music
Prayer can
be in and of itself a weapon. Such a
prayer is called an imprecatory prayer.
Such a prayer is basically calling down a curse upon the enemies of
Christ and is seen throughout the Psalms.
The War Psalms of the Prince of Peace by James E. Adams (and
available for order at our website) is about such prayers. Following is a quote from that book.
“The
spirit of the imprecations of the Psalms is found throughout the Psalter. The psalmist desires the destruction, shame,
judgment, fear, silence, defeat, scattering, persecution, confusion and death
of his enemies in many of the psalms.”
Following is
an example of such a prayer:
The wicked are estranged from the
womb; These who speak lies go astray from birth. They have venom like the venom of a serpent; Like a deaf cobra
that stops up its ear, So that it does not hear the voice of charmers, Or a
skillful caster of spells. O God,
shatter their teeth in their mouth; Break out the fangs of the young lions, O
LORD. Psalms 58:3-6
We often forget these prayers were put to music and sung
by the psalmist. Music, too, in and of
itself is a weapon. Satan’s children
have been using it very effectively to steal our children and destroy our
white-Anglo culture and civilization.
Take as an example the following, found on Wikipedia:
Music as a weapon is an
alternative metal/heavy metal/nu metal/hard rock tour created by American heavy
metal band Disturbed. There have been
three tours as of 2008, with a fourth tour beginning in March of 2009. the 2009 tour is being billed as a
large-scale festival-style event with many stands including tattoo artists,
extreme sports and video games.
The Bible gives us a story in 2 Chronicles 20 where a
great battle against an overwhelming and better-armed enemy was won simply by
music. Musicians were marched out in
front of the army and the enemy was defeated.
Put these two weapons (prayer & music) together and
you have a mighty weapon for the destruction of strongholds (2 Corinthians
10:4).
Thus we have presented to you the prayer song “A Mighty
Weapon”. If you want this prayer song
on a CD, write to us and request it.
The CD has the music and lyrics on track 1, and track 2 has just the
backing tracks for you to sing by.
You can also hear this song at our website, www.scripturesforamerica.org,
and the
words are posted there as well. We are
also airing this song Monday–Friday at 7pm Mtn. time on the SFA Worldwide
Broadcasting Network, to the internet, shortwave radio and satellite.
And they rose early in
the morning and went out to the wilderness of Tekoa; and when they went out,
Jehoshaphat stood and said, "Listen to me, O Judah and inhabitants of
Jerusalem, put your trust in the LORD your God, and you will be established.
Put your trust in His prophets and succeed." And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who
sang to the LORD and those who praised Him in holy attire, as they went out
before the army and said, "Give thanks to the LORD, for His lovingkindness
is everlasting." And when they began singing and praising, the LORD set
ambushes against the sons of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against
Judah; so they were routed. For the sons of Ammon and Moab rose up against
the inhabitants of Mount Seir destroying them completely, and when they had
finished with the inhabitants of Seir, they helped to destroy one another. When
Judah came to the lookout of the wilderness, they looked toward the multitude;
and behold, they were corpses lying on the ground, and no one had escaped. - 2 Chronicles
20:20-24
