No Such Thing as “the Devil’s Music”? Reader response. Also; strange happenings, and birth pangs

By STLloyd

I have been mulling some things over in my mind for several days now, and having a hard time with even thinking of writing one of my researched, footnoted informative articles, because of a couple of fairly significant distractions.  But not only that, it’s just that as it was pointed out recently, the news of the sort I cover here, has suddenly seemed to take on an even heavier weight than before, just in the last couple of weeks.

Yesterday I posted another Zeus Mossbender-as-Laban-Schmull  video, as this YouTuber was a recent discovery and I have been edified by others of his that I viewed and then posted.  However, even as I posted this, I have to admit that yesterday was a very off day for me as it was.  I did watch the whole video, and didn’t pay much attention to the part of my brain that was saying, “now wait a minute….”, and the reason I think that was, is that I definitely was having one of those days when I was  weary conflict and the constant vigilance required in the face of a tsunami of  just plain false stuff that is being churned out for sensationalism or even monetary gain. Tired also of false yokes that some would put on us, and striving to know the difference.   I am speaking of things in the realm of what I read on a regular basis in order to keep people informed.

I am of a mind that God has pretty much given over those in most of the Western world, to their love of debauchery and pleasant lies over righteous truth.  I guess I am just getting a little worn out.  We are supposed to overcome evil with good.  And as hard as it can be sometimes to keep a proper perspective on things, I take seriously the fact that even if there is one person out there reading this blog that is being helped along in their ability to persevere one day at a time, then I have to think long and hard before allowing myself to let down my guard and possibly falter.  I can’t help comparing it to that moment I have heard of in stories told by people who have been trapped at the mercy of the elements during a blizzard with no shelter.  That desire to just lie down and rest for a moment, but knowing that it really would mean certain death, if they don’t keep pressing on.

One of the people God brought me into fellowship with via this blog, has taken the time and care to catch this significant issue with the video I posted yesterday, and for that I am grateful.  When we help one another, and one grows weary, God gives someone else the strength and stamina and alertness needed to prevent “fatal errors” or injuries.  So I hope that you will read his comment here, that I am posting in its entirety. I am familiar with the testimony and background of this reader and prayer-partner, and highly respect the wisdom gleaned in years of experience walking with the Lord and what the Lord delivered him out of.

Hi Sandee, Thank you for posting this video. I couldn´t disagree more with his premise.
It seems that as soon as you touch music which I think is the number one item of man´s false worship that he will hang on to it before he lets go and renounce its power to hold them in bondage for God´s sovereignty in their lives, you will find such a big stronghold of defense and self-justification to protect their sacred cow.

His credibility as far as I am concerned has plummeted to a sub-zero level. He might have some good insights from the previous videos that you sent me, but I think this one reveals a weakness of the flesh on his part that is blinding him through being self-deceived. His arguments and posting of a brief excerpt by Bullinger which is not very thorough in his presentation and his very vague and general statement trying to justify his position and the lack of scriptures reinforced my assessment that he is deceived. I didn´t watch the rest of the video, I had witnessed enough to conclude that he was wrong. The same argument is put forth that declares that “ All truth is God´s Truth” to convince hurting and afflicted people that Christian psychology is the answer to our problems. Is “All wisdom God´s wisdom? James denies this erroneous assertion. “ or Is All music God´s music? “

I think Laban has not entirely used the gift of discernment and his power of God given wisdom and intelligent reasoning to probe into the depth of a subject that is spiritually discerned and obvious by some of the concerned brothers and sisters who are trying to warn the body of Christ of the growing present deception.
I have heard personally the same faulty argument since 1985 when I reentered the fold from professional rock musicians that were converted to Pastors misleading their congregations by repeating the same lies. I have very good friends my age who are still stagnating in their Christian lives or have been stripped of their commission and put on the shelf of inactive retirement and the subsequent following of their fleshly natural bend because of their stubborn clinging to their former idols. See the useless branches removed from service in John 15 and the parallel verses in Ezekiel 15  (following the judgment pronounced in preceding chapter 14) with the removal of Israel because of uselessness in their service to the Lord.

The idols of the heart are very hard to remove. See Ezekiel 14 on setting up idols of the heart. Notice the triad in just a few verses with the extension of the sin and the subsequent judgment starting with the elders down to the people of Israel and finally including the foreigners that attached themselves to the nation.

I hope to have the time to write more on this very subject that is at the heart of the defeat by deception of the “church” that is naked but thinks it is clothed, rich but poor, thinking that they are seeing the truth but blinded by the enemy and ripe for God´s judgment of being vomited by the Lord. Here are just two of the many articles and videos that are easily found on the web. The research has been done for some decades on the effects of music whether spiritual, emotional physiological, even conspiratorial. Both Christian and New Age occultic research is exhaustive.

440hz music-Conspiracy to Detune us from Natural 432hz Harmonics?

Most music worldwide has been tuned to 440 hertz since the International Standards Organization (ISO) endorsed it in 1953. The recent rediscoveries of the vibratory / oscillatory nature of the universe indicate that this contemporary international concert pitch standard may generate an unhealthy effect or anti-social behavior in the consciousness of human beings.

A=432 Hz, known as Verdi’s ‘A’ is an alternative tuning that is mathematically consistent with the universe. Music based on 432 Hz transmits beneficial healing energy, because it is a pure tone of math fundamental to nature.

There is a theory that the change from 432 Hz to 440 Hz was dictated by Nazi propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels. He used it to make people think and feel a certain manner, and to make them a prisoner of a certain consciousness. Then around 1940 the United States introduced 440 Hz worldwide, and finally in 1953 it became the ISO 16-standard.

This Song’s a Killer: The Strange Tale of “Gloomy Sunday”

In Vienna, a teenage girl drowned herself while clutching a piece of sheet music. In Budapest, a shopkeeper killed himself and left a note that quoted from the lyrics of the same song. In London, a woman overdosed while listening to a record of the song over and over.

The piece of music that connects all these deaths is the notorious “Gloomy Sunday.” Nicknamed the “Hungarian suicide song,” it has been linked to over one hundred suicides, including the one of the man who composed it.

Of course, this might all be an urban legend.

One thing’s for sure, though. “Gloomy Sunday’s” composer Rezso Seress did take his life, and the success of his greatest hit may have been a contributing factor.

An hour or so later when I woke up, the light was shining under the door again, and the key was back in the door.  I figured that our son had come home early from work, maybe a mix-up in schedule, or slow night and wasn’t needed.  So I went and opened up the doors, since it is nice outside, (and let the dog out) and thought, hmm, this back door, I thought I had checked the extra hasp latches to make sure they were closed too, but maybe not…and went on into the kitchen to make the meatloaf for supper that I had planned on.  Once I had it all together and popped into the oven, I went downstairs to tell my son what was for supper, since it’s one of his favorite meals, and guess what?  Nobody was down there.
I had noticed too, when I got up, that the hallway door was open, which I was sure I had closed, but if it doesn’t click into place fully, the dog is able to push that open.  Still, the key and the light were a little disconcerting.  I needed to make a quick run to the store for more eggs, at the little market 3 blocks away, which happens to be where my son works.  He was stocking shelves, so I asked if he had come back home for anything and he said he hadn’t.
Oh.  My.
We were previously burglarized a few years back during air conditioner season, by someone we actually knew, who had waited until we left for prayer meeting on a Wednesday night, and then he had pushed in the a/c and climbed through the window.  Well, when I got back from the store,  I checked the house over pretty thoroughly, and did so with one of the guns in hand.  Checked everything carefully, to see for sure that no one was in my house.  Nothing was missing or disturbed.  (Well, my nerves were a little disturbed).
I can’t swear on the back door having been latched, if I already had my glasses off when I checked that visually, I could easily have gotten that wrong.  The dog could explain the hall door. But the key and light I am absolutely certain about, because I actually stood there and had a brief mental internal dialogue with myself, about whether to just leave it or to lock the door and put the key away, or just go crawl into bed for that badly needed nap.
I have told some folks about he odd things that happen in this old house sometimes, but that one was a new level of creepy.  I know that there is no such thing as ghosts, so that leaves the option of a slipping mind or something supernatural.  Neither of these is an appealing explanation! I am pretty aware of the types of glitches my mind does have, and pretty certain this was not one of them.
I also believe that the “veil” between the natural and supernatural is thinning these days very much like some of the, to put it obliquely, lady parts do during her birth pangs in preparation for the delivery.  Having said that, I just continue to ask readers to pray for me.  I don’t consider myself on the front lines by any means, but anywhere that this blog might encourage weary Christians or cause unbelievers to stop and consider what is really at stake and the significance of what is happening in our world, then I know the enemy seeks to trip up, bog down, discourage, confuse, and cause general mayhem.  I got such an urge to just up and delete this blog yesterday and be done with it, and this has nothing to do with the comment from J-L, this was yesterday, that I even went so far as to export it into a zip file to save on my computer, but I know enough to realize that when feeling that way, it is not the time to act, but to wait and pray.
It is possible, however, that a time is coming when the Lord does lead me to end this work. There is a time and season to everything.  I am of a mind more and more each day that a time is approaching when the time for warnings has passed, and for each of us to brace for the transition.  Another birth term.  Transition is the most difficult phase of labor, but also the shortest.  In transition the contractions are very close together, sometimes even coming almost right on top of the previous one.  The mom becomes extremely focused and very “present” in all that is happening in order to keep up with the demands of what is taking place within her body.  The mind turns very “inward” but at the same time she is even more sensitive to what is happening all around her, as if every sense is heightened, and it has been referred to as the “storm before the calm”.   It is also the time when the woman is often least confident of her ability to endure to the end, and verbalizes her doubts about being able to go through what is coming. It is very much a “hang on for all you are worth and ride it out” kind of scenario.  The good news is that when she gets to this stage, it means labor is almost over!
The Lord didn’t give us that illustration of labor pains upon a woman for this period of the Gentile Age for nothing.  He gave it to us so we can have hope of the ability to ride out this stage when it comes.
The vote at the U.N. tomorrow could well be that trigger into the “Transition” stage of labor.  If not tomorrow, I still expect it very, very shortly.   After the transition phase, comes the phase referred to as “active labor” which ends in the delivery.  Any mom will tell you that after 9 months, other than the temporary doubt that often crops up at the transition stage, by the time their due date finally arrives, they are sooooooooo ready to be done with being pregnant.
I don’t know about you, but I am “ready to get on viddit”!

One thought on “No Such Thing as “the Devil’s Music”? Reader response. Also; strange happenings, and birth pangs”

  1. Oh wow. First, thanks for posting the comment from a vigilant brother. I watched the video on YouTube shortly after it was posted and found myself disappointed, though i could not word it nearly as well as the commenter. Laman’s argument was very weak and not well thought out.
    As for your experience, WOW. I would be creeped out too! The enemy certainly knows when our defenses are down and we are not at the top of our game mentally.
    As for you closing the blog, I understand why you would. However, I for one, would miss it. You’ve kinda become a Titus 2 older woman for me. Our churches are seeing a huge decline in men taking seriously their God-issued role and it is even more difficult to find a woman who understands God’s instructions to women, being that we live in a culture that has distorted feminism.
    My brain is shutting down, now, lol, so I’ll end with that.
    Love & blessings,
    Marcia
