A Distinction in the Sounds The Design of Japheth's Purest Music |
Brings WORLD into the church / your family / your life!
Brings the church / your family / your life into the WORLD!
Heart yesterday, flesh today!
In the days of the early church, the Great Commission days, the rejoicing
was right - their tongue was glad - and their flesh rested in hope.
Today, in the marvelous days of Paul's gospel, the flesh is being
taught to rest in the music! Acts 2:26 - Therefore
did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall
rest in hope:
This is what the music now in our Bible Believing churches is doing:
Ezekiel 36:20 - And
when they entered unto the heathen, whither they went, they profaned my
holy name, when they said to them, These are the people of the LORD, and
are gone forth out of his land.
| flatted notes | off beat emphasis | country sounds | jazz riffs for bridges | hard to understand words |
| bending notes | ahead / after the beat | steel guitar sliding around notes | watered down doctrine | tearful emotional crying |
| scooping notes | jazz chords | dancy feeling | romantic feelings | blasphemy titles of Christ |
| build up step-wise | tension / resolve | slow sensual feeling | wrong doctrine | slang references to Christianity |
| chromatic steps up & down | high hard note - vibrato after | counter rhythmic melodies | think of world / tv songs | Hammite in their sound |
Ye ole' flesh!
For I know that in me (that
is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me;
but how to perform that which is good I find not.
Romans 7:18
But put ye on the Lord Jesus
Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
Romans 13:14
For they that are after the
flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit
the things of the Spirit.
Romans 8:5
I thank God through Jesus
Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but
with the flesh the law of sin.
Romans 7:25
So then they that are in
the flesh cannot please God.
Romans 8:8
That the righteousness of
the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after
the Spirit.
Romans 8:4:
I Cor 14:7,8 is stated as a fact...
A trumpet / the music / the preacher / the
father, etc. must be distinctively be a Christian - according to the Book
- so they can warn folks & family!
Ezekiel 33:3-6
- If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and
warn the people; Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet,
and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood
shall be upon his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, and
took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh
warning shall deliver his soul. But if the watchman see the
sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if
the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in
his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.
Jeremiah 6:16,17 -
Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old
paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest
for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. Also
I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet.
But they said, We will not hearken.
Jeremiah 42:13, 14
- But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land, neither obey the voice
of the LORD your God, Saying, No; but we will go into the land of
Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor
have hunger of bread; and there will we dwell:
Music can please God!
II Chronicles 5:12,13
Also the Levites which were the singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman,
of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, being arrayed in white
linen, having cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of
the altar, and with them an hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets:)
It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make
one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they
lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of
musick, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth
for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of
the LORD;
Years ago, the few (if any) Southern traveling families in our Bible Believing churches used to at least LOOK distinctively Christian, but that is even disappearing today.
Your music shows WHO and WHAT you are!
Your music is your spiritual thermometer!
Are you led by the Spirit of God, the spirit of the antichrist or by
your flesh?
Does it affect your mind, your feet...
or does it please God?
Why should you have somebody ELSE sing for you?
Psalm 35:27,28
- Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause:
yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure
in the prosperity of his servant. And my tongue shall speak of thy
righteousness and of thy praise all the day long.
Psalm 51:14,15 -
Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my
tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. O Lord, open thou my
lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
Psalm 66:17 -
I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.
Christians today are allowing this to happen
to their tongue!
Psalm 137:6 -
If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth;
if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
Your music exposes you for what you are!
A lost person - or a carnal Christian - or a deceived
Christian, etc.
Matthew 12:33-35 -
Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt,
and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. O generation
of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance
of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure
of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil
treasure bringeth forth evil things.
Matthew 15:18 -
But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart;
and they defile the man.
Luke 6:43-46 -
For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt
tree bring forth good fruit. For every tree is known by his own fruit.
For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they
grapes. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth
forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his
heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart
his mouth speaketh. And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the
things which I say?
No heart these days - more and more flesh!
Matthew 15:8 - This
people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their
lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship
me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. And he called the multitude,
and said unto them, Hear, and understand: Not that which goeth into
the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this
defileth a man.
The word is missing more and more!
Romans 10:8 - But
what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart:
that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
The Biblical cause is to preach, not perform!
I Corinthians 1:18-21, etc.
II Timothy 4:2
etc.
Purpose of music - Psalm 68:4
Today's music, what folks are calling a 'ministry' is really only:
Today's song is of the imitation Christian, produced from imitation churches, made by imitation pastors preaching imitation sermons. Sad to see that imitation coming from Bible Believing Churches now.
The preaching and praises of the truth will be done!
And the voice of harpers, and musicians,
and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee;
and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he
be, shall be found any more in thee;
and the sound of a millstone shall be heard
no more at all in thee;
Revelation 18:22
