What We Listen to Matters | Jentezen Franklin

[Music] the bible said to build his kingdom that nebuchadnezzar used the smartest the most gifted he gave them and made them learn a new language the chaldean language no longer were they allowed to speak hebrew he changed their names from hebrew names to babylonian names he even changed their diet and all of those things were fine but then he re he recognized nebuchadnezzar i'll never really change these people until i change their worship as long as they're worshiping in my culture their god their worship that connects them to their god is more powerful than my culture and so i don't i didn't have time to read it he built an idol a statue and he made a command that when the music plays it's what he said when the music starts playing when you start hearing the music play everybody in babylon is to bow down and worship the statue i couldn't help but think you know if we're not careful we just like that generation the bible said that everybody bowed down but daniel he would not bow down when he heard the sound of the music if we're not careful music can have a powerful influence on our lives for the negative if you're listening to music that disconnects you from god if you listen notice that when the music played then you had to bow down and daniel said i'm not going to let the music of this culture caused me to disconnect from my worship to god and start worshiping idols i can't help but believe that some of the most filthy music that's being put out with profanity with pornography it's musical pornography i don't understand how christians particularly young people think that they can listen to that pour that into their spirit hour after hour day after day week after week pouring profanity pouring musical pornography and filth into your spirit and not think that it won't disconnect you from god something is seemingly innocent as rhythm and and raps and songs and lyrics can absolutely cause you to bow down to idols and disconnect from god it matters what we listen to what we listen to matters the enemy is thrilled when he can manipulate your thinking when he can cause you to break your relationship with god and just as daniel had to make a decision in a secular culture he was away from his mother away from his father away from his pastor away from everybody and he had to make a decision i know everybody here listens to it i know everybody responds to this music but i have a higher call i must stay committed and connected to my god no matter where i am i don't just praise him in youth group i don't just praise him when i go to church around church folks i am who i am in the college dorm i am who i am wherever i go and nothing is going to be more powerful in my life than jesus christ i worship him i don't worship the idols of this world especially the music come on and clap your hands i'm preaching the truth i'm preaching the truth thank you so much for watching make sure that you subscribe to our channel so that you can get notifications on new posts and live streams be sure to share this video with a friend you never know how you can send the word of god right when somebody needs to hear it and you can use your social influence for good for the glory of god thanks again share it with a friend and i really appreciate you watching we'll see you next time you
