The closer you get to God, the less you want to listen to the music of the world, your soul starts to automatically push it off . Thats when you have the Holy spirit working in you . Praise God Hallelujah!!
Very true. Lately, I have upped my spiritual life with praise and worship songs, as well as prayers. Two days ago, i decided to watch TV with my sister. A music channel was on, and on it was a worldly music video. I really felt disgusted at it.
Yes! Praise God! I too no longer enjoy secular music... your soul really does start to reject it. It's so awesome when we can see the difference of the Holy Spirit working in us :)
I don't think so... why will God then waste his time giving people the talent to entertain, if this would only be to the benefit of satan's kingdom? I know Christians who sing secular music, their music isn't vulgar or demonic, they simply express the human condition. I am an artist, I create art to entertain people, I don't see how this could be a substitute for joy.
You are absolutely correct. Music is a spirit and can influence you if you are not strong in Christ. Thank you for bringing this to the attention of the masses Joe.
I still listen to this kinds of music even tho i don’t fully agree with the lyrics or whatever. The way i see it is i know what’s right and wrong with this stuff but it doesn’t mean i can’t enjoy it because i know i won’t be influenced by it.
@@n30n__ra1n In some regard our minds can be thought of as computers, in the sense that what you put in is what comes out. Subconsciously it gets recorded, so one must always be careful of what they allow into their eyes and ears.
@@RVRV-mz8yw Yes but i’m fully conscious of it so it’s different. I have been stopping listening to songs i really like purely because the lyrics have started making me feel uncomfortable and i am conscious of the music i listen to. I won’t stop listening to it fully because no matter where you go there will be sin, it’s unavoidable, so even if i did stop listening to sinful music i’d still be hearing and seeing many other sins take place around me regardless of whether i listen to it or not. Plus, I’m autistic and NEED certain songs to cope because of the sound of them, and music is the only way of me blocking all other noise out.
@@n30n__ra1n Music is another beast all together than all other influences you compare it to. The core of the clip is that Satan was the angel of music. Music is unbelievably potent to reach the human soul deeply. I get where you coming from, but still I think it's very wise to listen to Godly music instead :)
@@guanedits6349 it’s alright to pray a prayer for less than a minute you were nervous. Never stop doing what God wants you to do like going to a church. Because He wants you to get to know Him better and if you want you can try reading the Bible to help you with God’s words and there is prayers in there too. Praying for you to find a church that helps you in your walk with God. Remember it’s not just about going to church it’s about getting to know Jesus more
Im a 15 year old Christian. I dont really listen to secular music, i try not to. Its not easy to do so, especially being a teen in this day and age I was doing a fast from secular music, only listening to gospel and tbh ive never felt more connected with God. You my good sir, just encouraged me to try to continue that fast onwards with no end. Thank You.
@Tucker Mulder hey! there are alot of Gospel rap music, you just need to find the right ones. Im glad you have a good relationship w God, continue pushing through and try not to give up. God will be by your side through it all regardless
@Tucker Mulder that’s amazing that you turned to God and know it’s a sin, there’s Christian rap music if your interested in that or yes you can repent but please remember that we shouldn’t take advantage of God’s forgiveness. God bless you :))
Just continue to do what you doing now! The music they make and have been making for the last 10 years or so is just satanic , I myself never wanted to think about it that way but if you listen to the words and look at all the signs in the music videos you clearly see they worship the devil and mock God! I know it's not easy but stay on the right path with God you will have eternal life.💜 I made the decision to turn from all music made from any artist about a year ago as it really influences your feelings
You won’t find God listening to worship music. Don’t make me laugh. That’s not how you show your faith. AT ALL. Which is why you people in churches will be judged for your “showy” and “proudness” it’s pure arrogance and honestly you’re the Antichrists for thinking you even know God but in reality you fake your own character when it becomes FAKE. What is demonic is the fact that so many of you will oppose God when he shows you the truth and the actual Antichrist because your concept of God is flawed. Once again, music doesn’t make you anymore Holy than a man who climbs the highest mountain on a “pilgrimage” to become more enlightened. They’re both searching in vain. You find God in SILENCE. Music isn’t demonic, there’s more things that are worse than music and this video is laughable about it.
I listened to “Montero” by Lil NasX because my aunt bought it to my attention and my spirit was so uneasy and upset. I felt myself getting dark. I had to pray after that none sense because it was VERY dark indeed. I thank The Trinity everyday for their grace and mercy. Definitely just finished doing some Bible Study and breakdown.
@@tracywood328 and don’t ever come for me being tested, little girl. I’ve been through mess others have committed suicide over or less if they’ve been through it one at a time. I’ve danced with the devil and walked through hell. Sulfur stinks btw. That’s my testimony. Want more? Survived rape, molestation, cancer, abuse of all sorts and other issues and I’m still standing. You don’t know me and I strongly suggest you keep your weak-minded attempts of attacks on my tests out of you way. I know you no more than you know me. If I cared enough I could ask for clarity on you and he would show me-I just don’t care enough far beyond this point. Get there safe.
Lucifer was the leader of the choir In heaven. He knows exactly what he's doing. . Music is his huge sword for God's people. It's been 3 years that I stopped listening to secular music and I don't miss it one bit.
My heart breaks that people are indulging in songs that promote infidelity, drug/alcohol use, sex before marriage, cheating, doing whatever they want regardless of who they hurt...These songs make God's heart break. Thank you for another amazing video, Joe! We must guard our hearts and our ears!
Alcohol is a blessing you all need to read the Bible. It's the control you have with it. Sorry but it seems to me you all are making your opinions Gods word. The Bible never says dont drink it says dont become a drunk be vigilant of the good and bad
I want to be this type of Christian, no judgment, just gentle wisdom and love, but without compromise. May our Father continue to bless and keep you and your family safe in these times. Thank you for your channel. Xxx
I can relate to this so much. I was going really well in my walk with God though I still had some subtle sin areas that needed work. Then I started listening to secular music and it was the beginning of a big backslide. I ended back on drugs and in sexual immorality and a lot of other sin. I wondered how did I get here and racked my brain and realised it was the music I was listening to! It’s like it puts spells on you. That’s why I deleted all that music and will only listen to praise music. I never want to end up like that again. Thank God he saved me from that pit and He has also worked on all those little subtle areas that I was still in bondage. I don’t even take medications anymore. I am a new creation in Christ and 5 months clean from alcohol, methamphetamine, cigarettes, meds, and marijuana. I don’t watch tv anymore. I am working on my swearing and how I interact with people. I study the Bible daily and have joined a church. Everything is going really well. Of course everything is not perfect. Following Christ is not about a perfect life it’s about a perfect God. I had to remove a lot of things and a lot of people from my life that were hindering my walk with God. We have to make sacrifices for Jesus just like He made the ultimate sacrifice for us.
I have a good playlist in my channel of modern hip music. Many of the artists make christian songs not all of which i have listed. Moby is another good artist he has songs like 'god moving over the face of the water' that is phenomenal
@@derekstaroba you can't have hip hop Christian music. Back in the day the pilgrims didn't even use instruments, then the organ, then piano, now in churches its like a loud concert hall and I don't agree with that. And bringing in worldly "genre" like rap metal rock and trance into the churches is a BIG no no to me, as Satan is HEAVILY involved with these genre as they're the most popular today with the gen xers down to the gen zs! That's a lot of people being influenced by devils and their pawns! It's not a game!
Thank you for the testimony 🔥💕 one of the easiest ways to get sucked back into the spirit of this world is through our eyes and ears; tv and music has been almost completely taken over and is being used as a weapon against everyone, especially kids. I can spend a lot of time in the word and in prayer and then if I turn on the tv, I just stand there like a zombie and I lose all discernment. I got rid of Netflix and subscribed to Pureflix and Faith Now TV, because then I can have some down time and not be worried about what gets snuck in.
I don't even turn the radio on in my car anymore, I use the time to pray. I usually end up wiping tears from my eyes when I think about the one I am praying to. When I arrive at my destination I usually have red eyes and smudged mascara and that is ok.
I did the same thing when that song was released, I wanted to see what all the talk about it was, and 40 seconds in I was like nope, I dont need this evil in my life. Stopped watching that satanic video.
You probably won’t see this but I just want to say God bless you and your sweet, sweet soul and I’m just thankful I came across you and to hear your words
Please pray for my children to be brought home to me safely this year and for their abusers to be caught and stopped and prosecuted to the full extent of the law in Jesus's name.
Please never stop making videos man! I just watched another video where you said you didn’t know if you wanted to keep up RUclips but I promise, you are helping a lot of people like me to understand The Bible and Christianity more and more and I am very thankful that I found your videos!
I used to be a hardcore metal head (Atheist/Anti-Christ), I've got a full sleeve tattoo on my right arm, holes in my face and ears, etc. After turning to Christ, becoming truly newlyborn, God released His Spirit into me, I've thrown away all my metal paraphernalia, my wife and I stopped watching movies, series and for the most part don't listen to any popular music - It sounds boring, but the reality is, when you know Jesus, He truly is all you need to find joy. Not everyday is a walk in the park, we've been through horrible situations after becoming newlyborn, BUT, with God and without God, I will gladly give up everything in this world for Jesus, as I know He is the only TRUE source of happiness and comfort in this life. God Bless.
“But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God-” 2 Timothy 3:1-4 NIV
When I saw that video it made me realize living as a homosexual could never be accepted by God. I was coming around to the truth of Christ at that time and had a lot of confusion surrounding living as a homosexual until that point. Since that video I’ve completely left behind that lifestyle to become born again to follow Christ and serve the Creator. I spoke up against that video to the other gay people I knew in my life and I was surprised at how I was the only one of them that could see how obviously Satanic and demonic that song was despite having no real beliefs at that point. I was actually worried at how younger kids considering if they were gay we’re gonna be influenced by it, and saw how that video being released the week of Easter was gonna kill any tolerance the gay community had worked for. But the other gay people I knew stood behind the video and didn’t have a problem with it. At that point I knew I had to leave that life of sin and willful rejection of God to lead a life of indulging lust behind. I have not regretted that choice once since.
No you're right brother Mike - that was my raw reaction so I didn't want to change it. But upon reflection I should've been stronger on denouncing it - Joe
bingo, the truth hurts for a reason! Jesus himself had hard pills to swallow like "“If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters-yes, even their own life-such a person cannot be my disciple."
Just seeing this today, thank you Joe Kirby, every time I watch one of your videos, I love sharing them! I stream 100% Christian content so my friends are exposed to good music they've never heard before. God bless your ministry!
Remember brethren.. Those who battle depression. If you rearrange the letters in Depression... You get.." I pressed on." Keep your eyes on Christ. And may the Lord bless you.
The devil rules the mainstream music industry and hollywood, and it breaks my heart when I hear the little ones listening to music like the weeknd or lil nas x it hurts my heart 😥
Yes, it is because the influence on youth make them cocky(sometimes) , but you can appreciate bunch of Christian metal bands if you really believe in God
True I’m a ex kpop fan and before I thought the music was innocent but boy was I wrong when I found out that the music had demonic symbols and meaning I stopped listening and now listen to Christian music
@@rosagorskikh9825 yes I noticed a big difference in my attitude on my looking life and I learned the hard way that the music was corrupting me not only were the people around me corrupting me but it was the music as well and I fell down into a deep pit of despair but finally Jesus reached his hand down and I am being pulled out of that hole finally and I am so grateful I completely stop listening to that music too I'll listen to secular music every now and then if it's nice and it has a cute message and stuff like that
I am a Christian woman , 57, been saved since I was ten yrs. old. I got sucked into secular music when I was in my teens and young adult hood. It does lead you to contemplate sin. I had to cut up many of my CD's. Throw them away. Nowadays all I listen to is Christian Music. I keep it set on my car stereo. It keeps me grounded in Christ and living for Him. It keeps me plugged into the Holy Spirit and God. It makes me yearn for Heaven and want to be more like Jesus. This channel is new to me but I can't get enough of it!!! This Off the Kirb ministries guy is so refreshingly honest and enthusiastic about Jesus. I want to thank this ministry for letting me hear something real, honest and to the point witnessing in a time when all seems to be going down in a handbasket. Thank you Off the Kirb.
Please, just know that Christianity is not an umbrella term for "sub-religions". Catholics, Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses, Orthodoxes, Methodists, etc... are not Christians. Each of them have different beliefs, teachings and ideologies which are not in the Bible. You are either a Christian or a Catholic, you can't be both. A real Christian is someone who follows Christ and His Word (the Bible), and ONLY the Bible, not a religion. Also, real Christians should read the King of (KJV) of the Bible because the rest versions change, add and/or remove from the Bible. God bless you. P.S.: God and Allah are not the same. God has a Son called Jesus Christ while allah doesn't have any. Among other things, of course...
I recently came across your channel: 17/04/23. I'm trying to get my life right with God now as I feel disgusted with myself for returning to a sinful life on all these years. May Jesus Christ be with you and bless you.
Music can be dangerous-guard your hearts & minds. Whatever you put into your spirit you will get the same thing out! May God bless you all. Please seek Jesus while he is calling . ❤️
Welp to my opinion it is right and wrong cuz today people today listen to music so much and fans of something would discriminate you for some things and im not saying that we shall get in to it just do that while you are with them cuz today you need friends the most in this dark times so just be careful dont get too much into it
@@IgnosticZ heyy🌟 So, I've been taught that the soul is the breath in your body. Many use when God breathed into Adam's body and made him a "living soul" to draw this conclusion...

When I even saw that "Montero" song by lil Nas X, I got so angry that God was being mocked that I wrote a song called "Fight." Here's the hook to my song Jesus help me fight back Jesus set me on the right track Allow me to glow bright stack Me to grow you made the right impact Jesus you're the way, the truth and the life Jesus you're the way, the truth and the life Jesus you're the way, the truth and the life Jesus you're the way, the truth and the life Jesus you're the way, the truth and the life Now I'm thinking of a couple of verses to write. I love writing Christian rap songs. When I get done with my song can I send it to you @off the curb ministries?
@@RonaldoROKKETT Thank you. I am also producing my own beats. I recieved Fl studio 20 the full version as a Christmas present. And I also went searching for sample packs found some and now I'm just messing around. I really love the sound of the harp and dark piano and hard and deep sounds so the beat is gonna be interesting. I'm gonna experiment with my voice and effects. As a Christian rapper I want my beats hard and deep. I'm writing a dis rap song aimed towards the devil.

Amen. Sometimes when I hear a song I’ve always loved, I start singing along and then I realize the lyrics are actually promoting sin/evil.

@@PatrickMenesesYTOfficial4945 yes, it is still our choice though. However, we cannot deny the fact that it sometimes affects us too when we are too emotional and confuse.
I just love 💖 your RUclips Chanel so much Brother Joe!! You are honestly the number one ☝🏽 RUclips preacher that I 100 percent trust! Well to be honest, I watch a couple of other preachers on RUclips, but you are the only one that I trust 100/100 percent. I know that you would never comprise when it comes to the Word of God! Your a Godly man with so much integrity and you are an honest person. I’ve watched your Chanel for a long time now. Thank you my friend for always just being you, and for all of your amazing videos, you truely are a blessing Brother!! God bless you and your beautiful family.

When I became a born again Christian 30 years ago I could no longer listen to secular music. It always had a way of taking me back to a time and place where I was living in the "world". When I was lost. Memories of a time I would rather forget. So I no longer let secular music take me there. 🙂
When I was non Christian I watched Rodeo by lil nas I told my friend let's watch it together and while we watch the whole thing I was terrified barely had any sleep that night felt so uncomfortable then I showed it to my mom and she was Shocked then a couple of days later we turned to the Lord because we felt a emptyness and our life was meaningless without jesus but I use to listen to alot of music that was demonic and use stay up as if the Devil himself was there Glad I serve God now.
Amen! Thanks for your testamony. Continue on the path you're on. I know a lot of Christian music on the radio is just like the bland bubblegum pop you hear on secular radio, but there is some insanely good Christian music out there. If interested, let me know your taste in tunes and I can point out some great Christian music for you.
Thank you Joe. This video really hits home. As a former listener to so much negative suicidal thought inducing music. As a newly born christian christian songs of worship touches my spirit and brings about the most positive thoughts. And yes when I hear music from my past it really brings me down and can lead me back to the sinner I used to be. So than kml you again Jor for the awesome video.
It's not just modern music.. It's movies as well.. I notice that every movie denounces either christ or God... The whole movie may not be about bashing God/christ but they throw in one liners or subliminal messages that denounce God/christ...
Well yes, there are one liners constantly bashing and making fun of all kinds of beliefs. Because that’s what god is, a belief, it doesn’t take a superior role in the grand picture of things. You have no problem disrespecting atheists and generally other beliefs, why do you expect different treatment?
In order to get a big platform you have to be initiated into a Satanic cult. That is why they are always bashing Christ and Christians, and that is why they are always flashing the same occult "gang signs".
I once saw a dating app advertisement on tv that had the woman quite literally setting up a date, rejecting the humans and embracing the devil and calling him her best match. I try my best to avoid the ad and thank God i haven't seen it much lately.
Yes, indeed! It is a weakness for me because I watch many movies/tv. My women's group has been guiding to alternatives. Wow what a relief. But sometimes I fall and realize how disgusting most of these shows are. My heart has been completely changed in life.

I think the lyrics are the message more so than the beat. I had my mother, a strict,conservative and devoted Christian listen to "Unity" by The O'Jays (after 20+ years of persuasion) and she truly listened and enjoyed it.She's gone now and have been for 10 years at the age of 92. Yet I'll never forget that shared memory. Gospel is my favorite and preferred music. Yet there is a message in music and song like Eddie LaVert said.
Amen! I was so consumed by one speck of my life that I didn't consider all that my Heavenly Father has done for me. All glory, honor and praise to my ABBA FATHER! Thank you!
I love you! I love your content! You are a genuine and compassionate man and I am so thankful for your ministry here on RUclips. God bless you and your growing family 🙌🏻✨
These evil sellouts who sold their souls dont want our prayers as it is written in Isaiah. The wicked dont turn to God. When shown grace. Jeremiah speaks of them getting the finest prayers and still not turning. Dont waste your breath pray for the children these people influence.
For someone who grew up on music and as a new believer; I had lots of genres on my playlist except for today's music. I have sugarcoated for a long time thinking "it's just music." Your video convicted me (James 4:4) and I too notice when I listen to non-Christian music it effects my Spirit. I literally just deleted all 500+ songs except my worship songs. Thank you and many blessings🙏
Wow!!!!! That's exactly how I feel when I hear old secular songs I used to listen to. I can't really listen to it anymore for too long. It's the Holy Spirit making me uneasy! Love it
@Andrea De Luca It's wonderful. It's like becoming aware of how harmful soda is and you turn away from it. It not only helps you feel better and stronger, but you feel liberated and wiser. It's liberating, not a burden. It's hard to explain it, you can only experience it when you surrender to Christ.
I feel him on montero 😭 I was in a music studio and they were laughing and I countined to watch bc of what I was shocked at... This world is getting worse
I've never heard of this song and I'm not even going to check it out. Watching it will give that video likes and I don't want to "feed the beast" so to speak. Happy Sunday and blessings to all!!
For the 2nd song Montero by Lil Nas X Everyone can see how disturbed you were from that just 56 seconds in. I personally never want to see it God Bless you and I hope you will never have to see something like that again.
@@RainbowDjDash It didn't "disrespect" chirstians. If he wants to be a "satanist" let him be. He's actually a sweet guy irl. You guys don't know how much effort he puts in his vids.
Thank you. My children are part of a Bluegrass Gospel band and are often ridiculed for not singing more questionable secular songs. This video has been a great encouragement to them!
Nice im 14 and im gonna start singing for God in a Choir But I still listen to songs like bruno mars etc but im trying to listen more of christian songs
This content motivated me to write songs for Jesus and sing more than I usually do! Thank you so much for this message joe...! May God bless you n your family abundantly!
So glad I found your channel!!! Sent this to my 21 year old daughter… She was raised in the church but unfortunately believes she can do whatever she wants and it’s all fine with Jesus 😥😥😥 Please pray for Emily Toler 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Heavenly Father, we come to YOU again, on behalf of so many young people that are constantly bombarded, ambushed by the things this world calls good, but is actually evil. Just as Your Word foretold thousands of years ago, we are living in Perilous times. Our culture has fallen so far, we can feel it....not only ours but this entire world is on a downward spiral. Lord, as You know so well, I too have a wayward daughter that has fallen into a snare of our arch Enemy. She lives in a way that is not good. Lord, I know I fail You often as well...we are all sinners, but Father, we just pray now; we call upon The Name Above ALL Names, Jesus Christ to forgive Our sins, and for our children to know YOU....The One that allowed mere mortals to Crucify HIM on that Cross some ~2,000 years ago, Lord we ask for OUR sinS to be forgiven and for our children to come to Repentance. Lord, I pray for Susan's daughter, as well as all of our young people, our children and grandchildren, all over this World that YOU created to come to YOUR SAVING GRACE!!...To know The Way, The Truth and The Life before it is everlasting TOO late. Lord, please guide us, protect us and give us the strength and courage to Stand against the wiles of the devil, and having done all, to stand. In Jesus Mighty and Glorious NAME, AMEN!!
As a mother myself, I believe that when we plant the seed in our children about Jesus, that's the best gift we could have given them and if they go into another direction, we just continue to pray and leave it in Father and Jesus hands. I believe in my heart they will come back to Him.
@Maurice Lewis I know that. I meant that most people wish they were rich as if it would solve their problems or wish they were famous to have friends or attention or something.
I don't know if you will ever see this comment pastor Joe but am so lucky to find this channel.. you have been a blessing to me I pray God bless you cause you speak the truth
Your channel is the one thing that helps helps me please do not leave please do not quit these shows please do not go anywhere you're the only one I feel the spirit in when I watch his podcast like I've watched a million other preachers but you are the only you and you know I really used to like Isaiah Salvador but he's gone to commercial and he doesn't even take time to talk to his clients Joe you're so down please don't change and please don't leave
I often hear music from my past and songs 🎵 my parents used to listen 🎶 to. The majority of these secular songs were attached to past sins, when I did not know Christ. The enemy thought he had me but Jesus came and grabbed me and I am not letting Him go. Thanks again Minister Joe for sharing this video.
Thank you Joe for such an interesting and informative video. I too, am a Christian who at times has struggled with what songs to listen to. The Spirit does tell your conscience what's good. I have had that feeling many times before. Your videos reinforce my belief in Christianity, and I realize I'm not alone, there are many good Christian people out there.
Yes. I need more Christian worship music. I have a 13 yr old and I feel as if I am tugging against the world for my child as if I am pulling him to God and the world is pulling him away. So thank you for sharing the video so that I can show my son, in hopes and faith that he also will feel uncomfortable listening to worldly music and start listening to Gods music. You are super awesome. Thank you for sharing that intimate moment, I used to be a drug addict as well been clean for 18 yrs now. Thank you thank you thank you. You are a human just like us thank you for being real and honest it makes me stronger and full of more faith.
Christian RUclipsrs make me scared when they talk about “The end” but when I hear it from this guy I feel nice and cozy when people talk about the same topics. I don’t know why but I do and I need to thank you for that.
@@louischans Don't be scared of the mark. If you are a Christian, you will never have to worry about the mark cause we'll be raptured out of the world. The tribulation is for the Jewish people to realize Jesus is Lord and to turn back to him.

I gave up listening to secular music as well when I finally accepted Jesus into my heart and it’s helped me so much. It made me feel less angry and more focused on things that were important. I felt like my mind was being littered with the toxic things these artists sung about. Now I only listen to sermons, piano/worship music, and Christian songs
You are a lovely man, keep your messages coming. I was just like you Joe in many ways, used to be a professional DJ fir many years. Weddings initially and they where beautiful occasions but after several years I started doing nightclubs. I was king of the dance floor and attracting what I shouldn't have. It destroyed my marriage and nearly my life. But the Lord took me to a place of beauty and re programmed me, humbled me. Amen
@Tucker Mulder the video is a bit harder to understand but the song is easier to understand so let me try and explain the visuals. The snake of temptation or whatever it’s called is a representation of nas’s sexuality (hence him running away from it) but it eventually catches up with him. He is then out on trial (how Christians and most of society judge him for behind gay) then he starts going to heaven but then ends up going to hell (how he was told that being gay is a sin, so by him going to hell is just him accepting his sexuality. And you guys shouldn’t get mad about the satan lap since he only did it to kill him 😀
Hello brothers please pray for me My friends kept saying bad things about Jesus and other religions for two school days and instead of defending Jesus I kept quiet. Please pray for me 😣
Praying that God gives you strength. Remember brother, Jesus said He will always be with us. He won't ever forsake His people. Deuteronomy 31:6, Matthew 28:20
If you wish to respond to them, pray that the Holy Spirit with take control of your tongue and speak through you, with the right words to get through to your friends. Pray for the Spirit and not your emotions to guide you in your response. P.S. I've been there and know exactly what you're going through.
Thank you. Praying for these artists and all of us who listen to secular music. As a musician who craves music, I prayed that God would shield my ears and teach me discernment.
It goes much deeper than just the words you hear in the music. The sounds, the images, and words, all together, sow very bad seeds. It lasts a long time. You can see it on the faces and bodies of older people that listen to music all the time. It is all they seem to have in life, to consume themselves by sounds, feelings, and nostalgia. Tied to lies, instead of living their lives.
I agree with you about Justin. We need to pray for him and all these artists and the people that are taken in by their their music. Thank you Joe for leading us every day to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
I'm super into music and fully believe you can listen to secular music as a Christian, however, more and more even artists I really enjoy are taking the lord's name in vain... It's becoming harder and harder to find music that goes well with where I'm at with my walk with Jesus... Thanks for this video
It was very hard to give up on secular music, I tried to make excuses telling myself that "neutral" secular music was ok, but finally gave up everything because they somehow distract my heart from Jesus.
I feel exactly the same way as you, Joe. I was extremely disturbed when I saw what Lil Nas X was doing. I just hope people who watched that video will know that it’s wrong...
This video was such a positive reminder about what really matters. I've had some negative people in my church who act like the scribes and Pharisees. Please pray for me to find people my age that I can worship and study with again. It's been about 4 years now. I know this video didn't come to me by accident. I will be looking forward to seeing more videos like this.

@@DerezzedMan yeah i am aware of that. i’m a new Christian and I just don’t think I’m quite ready yet to completely give up secular music, I really love music.
Music is amazing. I produce it, arrange, and compose. Music is neither good nor evil. It is just a medium. There's just something about mind blowing vocals, instrumentation, arrangements, everything. I started playing piano at the age of 3 and I have a studio now. For many years, music was my bread and butter both playing in churches and of course I paid my dues in touring, club bands, and house bands in night clubs. I loved every minute of it. I am a Christian, but like you, I believe music to be so amazing and uplifting. And all of the artists you named? AMAZING. I toured with a Journey cover band and it was phenomenal. I was the keyboard player of course :)
I know how you feel and I struggled with quitting secular music myself I was so into it, Drake, the Weeknd, Taylor Swift, Rihanna etc. But just allow the Holy Spirit to help take away the desire to listen to that music because it's not good for your Spirit, trust me it will hold you back from growing spiritually, and after some time you'll just be a lukewarm Christian
The closer you get to God, the less you want to listen to the music of the world, your soul starts to automatically push it off . Thats when you have the Holy spirit working in you . Praise God Hallelujah!!
Very true. Lately, I have upped my spiritual life with praise and worship songs, as well as prayers. Two days ago, i decided to watch TV with my sister. A music channel was on, and on it was a worldly music video. I really felt disgusted at it.
I Can Relate and It Is So True!
very true try listening to the music that so slow like a thousand years and not that popular thats a very safe music
Yes! Praise God! I too no longer enjoy secular music... your soul really does start to reject it. It's so awesome when we can see the difference of the Holy Spirit working in us :)
Absolutely true
“Entertainment is the devil’s substitute for joy. The more joy you have in the Lord the less entertainment you need.” 🤗
Leonard Ravenhill
I don't think so... why will God then waste his time giving people the talent to entertain, if this would only be to the benefit of satan's kingdom? I know Christians who sing secular music, their music isn't vulgar or demonic, they simply express the human condition. I am an artist, I create art to entertain people, I don't see how this could be a substitute for joy.
There's some truth here.
So according to you, we should all rejoice in boredom. Right...got it.
Depends on your kind of entertainment...filter it

As a teen Christian. I can feel you 😔🤝
You are absolutely correct. Music is a spirit and can influence you if you are not strong in Christ. Thank you for bringing this to the attention of the masses Joe.
The stuff I listened to was tame compared to this stuff.
I still listen to this kinds of music even tho i don’t fully agree with the lyrics or whatever. The way i see it is i know what’s right and wrong with this stuff but it doesn’t mean i can’t enjoy it because i know i won’t be influenced by it.
@@n30n__ra1n In some regard our minds can be thought of as computers, in the sense that what you put in is what comes out. Subconsciously it gets recorded, so one must always be careful of what they allow into their eyes and ears.
@@RVRV-mz8yw Yes but i’m fully conscious of it so it’s different. I have been stopping listening to songs i really like purely because the lyrics have started making me feel uncomfortable and i am conscious of the music i listen to. I won’t stop listening to it fully because no matter where you go there will be sin, it’s unavoidable, so even if i did stop listening to sinful music i’d still be hearing and seeing many other sins take place around me regardless of whether i listen to it or not. Plus, I’m autistic and NEED certain songs to cope because of the sound of them, and music is the only way of me blocking all other noise out.
@@n30n__ra1n Music is another beast all together than all other influences you compare it to. The core of the clip is that Satan was the angel of music. Music is unbelievably potent to reach the human soul deeply. I get where you coming from, but still I think it's very wise to listen to Godly music instead :)
You are a breath of fresh air when you preach about the word of God
Agreed! I think Joe is my favorite preacher of the gospel to listen to.
Amen.
@@guanedits6349 it’s alright to pray a prayer for less than a minute you were nervous. Never stop doing what God wants you to do like going to a church. Because He wants you to get to know Him better and if you want you can try reading the Bible to help you with God’s words and there is prayers in there too. Praying for you to find a church that helps you in your walk with God. Remember it’s not just about going to church it’s about getting to know Jesus more
Couldnt agree more!
Same!!
Im a 15 year old Christian. I dont really listen to secular music, i try not to. Its not easy to do so, especially being a teen in this day and age I was doing a fast from secular music, only listening to gospel and tbh ive never felt more connected with God. You my good sir, just encouraged me to try to continue that fast onwards with no end. Thank You.
@Tucker Mulder hey! there are alot of Gospel rap music, you just need to find the right ones. Im glad you have a good relationship w God, continue pushing through and try not to give up. God will be by your side through it all regardless
Same I’m 15 and can’t stand music now days I really only listen to jippy a majority of the time
God bless :)
@Tucker Mulder that’s amazing that you turned to God and know it’s a sin, there’s Christian rap music if your interested in that or yes you can repent but please remember that we shouldn’t take advantage of God’s forgiveness. God bless you :))
Just continue to do what you doing now! The music they make and have been making for the last 10 years or so is just satanic , I myself never wanted to think about it that way but if you listen to the words and look at all the signs in the music videos you clearly see they worship the devil and mock God! I know it's not easy but stay on the right path with God you will have eternal life.💜 I made the decision to turn from all music made from any artist about a year ago as it really influences your feelings
I'm ex muslim. Hallelujah. This video makes me realize to listen more worship song. Praise the Lord.
Amen. God bless you

You won’t find God listening to worship music. Don’t make me laugh.
That’s not how you show your faith.
AT ALL.
Which is why you people in churches will be judged for your “showy” and “proudness” it’s pure arrogance and honestly you’re the Antichrists for thinking you even know God but in reality you fake your own character when it becomes FAKE.
What is demonic is the fact that so many of you will oppose God when he shows you the truth and the actual Antichrist because your concept of God is flawed.
Once again, music doesn’t make you anymore Holy than a man who climbs the highest mountain on a “pilgrimage” to become more enlightened.
They’re both searching in vain.
You find God in SILENCE.
Music isn’t demonic, there’s more things that are worse than music and this video is laughable about it.
I listened to “Montero” by Lil NasX because my aunt bought it to my attention and my spirit was so uneasy and upset. I felt myself getting dark. I had to pray after that none sense because it was VERY dark indeed. I thank The Trinity everyday for their grace and mercy. Definitely just finished doing some Bible Study and breakdown.
If that's true you are that uncomfortable being tested maybe you are not as religious as you think you are.
@@tracywood328 and don’t ever come for me being tested, little girl. I’ve been through mess others have committed suicide over or less if they’ve been through it one at a time.

I can relate to this so much. I was going really well in my walk with God though I still had some subtle sin areas that needed work. Then I started listening to secular music and it was the beginning of a big backslide. I ended back on drugs and in sexual immorality and a lot of other sin. I wondered how did I get here and racked my brain and realised it was the music I was listening to! It’s like it puts spells on you. That’s why I deleted all that music and will only listen to praise music. I never want to end up like that again. Thank God he saved me from that pit and He has also worked on all those little subtle areas that I was still in bondage. I don’t even take medications anymore. I am a new creation in Christ and 5 months clean from alcohol, methamphetamine, cigarettes, meds, and marijuana. I don’t watch tv anymore. I am working on my swearing and how I interact with people. I study the Bible daily and have joined a church. Everything is going really well. Of course everything is not perfect. Following Christ is not about a perfect life it’s about a perfect God. I had to remove a lot of things and a lot of people from my life that were hindering my walk with God. We have to make sacrifices for Jesus just like He made the ultimate sacrifice for us.
Thanks for sharing your story, you will helped some souls like mine, make your life worth it.
Peace
I have a good playlist in my channel of modern hip music. Many of the artists make christian songs not all of which i have listed. Moby is another good artist he has songs like 'god moving over the face of the water' that is phenomenal
@@derekstaroba you can't have hip hop Christian music. Back in the day the pilgrims didn't even use instruments, then the organ, then piano, now in churches its like a loud concert hall and I don't agree with that. And bringing in worldly "genre" like rap metal rock and trance into the churches is a BIG no no to me, as Satan is HEAVILY involved with these genre as they're the most popular today with the gen xers down to the gen zs! That's a lot of people being influenced by devils and their pawns! It's not a game!
Thank you for the testimony 🔥💕
one of the easiest ways to get sucked back into the spirit of this world is through our eyes and ears; tv and music has been almost completely taken over and is being used as a weapon against everyone, especially kids.
I can spend a lot of time in the word and in prayer and then if I turn on the tv, I just stand there like a zombie and I lose all discernment.
I got rid of Netflix and subscribed to Pureflix and Faith Now TV, because then I can have some down time and not be worried about what gets snuck in.
Let God almighty strength you indeed the journey is not easy but God is always on our side every step of the way.
What a lovely ministry, it is like having a Christian friend to chat with about living our best Christian lives.
Yes!
It's very difficult to find "friends" that want and crave Jesus.

I used to be a hardcore metal head (Atheist/Anti-Christ), I've got a full sleeve tattoo on my right arm, holes in my face and ears, etc. After turning to Christ, becoming truly newlyborn, God released His Spirit into me, I've thrown away all my metal paraphernalia, my wife and I stopped watching movies, series and for the most part don't listen to any popular music - It sounds boring, but the reality is, when you know Jesus, He truly is all you need to find joy. Not everyday is a walk in the park, we've been through horrible situations after becoming newlyborn, BUT, with God and without God, I will gladly give up everything in this world for Jesus, as I know He is the only TRUE source of happiness and comfort in this life.

When I saw that video it made me realize living as a homosexual could never be accepted by God. I was coming around to the truth of Christ at that time and had a lot of confusion surrounding living as a homosexual until that point. Since that video I’ve completely left behind that lifestyle to become born again to follow Christ and serve the Creator.
I spoke up against that video to the other gay people I knew in my life and I was surprised at how I was the only one of them that could see how obviously Satanic and demonic that song was despite having no real beliefs at that point. I was actually worried at how younger kids considering if they were gay we’re gonna be influenced by it, and saw how that video being released the week of Easter was gonna kill any tolerance the gay community had worked for. But the other gay people I knew stood behind the video and didn’t have a problem with it. At that point I knew I had to leave that life of sin and willful rejection of God to lead a life of indulging lust behind. I have not regretted that choice once since.

I had to cut up many of my CD's. Throw them away. Nowadays all I listen to is Christian Music. I keep it set on my car stereo. It keeps me grounded in Christ and living for Him. It keeps me plugged into the Holy Spirit and God. It makes me yearn for Heaven and want to be more like Jesus.

What's a seasoned Christian?
Please, just know that Christianity is not an umbrella term for "sub-religions".
Catholics, Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses, Orthodoxes, Methodists, etc... are not Christians. Each of them have different beliefs, teachings and ideologies which are not in the Bible.
You are either a Christian or a Catholic, you can't be both.
A real Christian is someone who follows Christ and His Word (the Bible), and ONLY the Bible, not a religion.
Also, real Christians should read the King of (KJV) of the Bible because the rest versions change, add and/or remove from the Bible.
God bless you.
P.S.: God and Allah are not the same.
God has a Son called Jesus Christ while allah doesn't have any. Among other things, of course...

Now I'm thinking of a couple of verses to write. I love writing Christian rap songs.
When I get done with my song can I send it to you @off the curb ministries?
Those are fiyree 💥💥
@@RonaldoROKKETT Thank you. I am also producing my own beats. I recieved Fl studio 20 the full version as a Christmas present. And I also went searching for sample packs found some and now I'm just messing around. I really love the sound of the harp and dark piano and hard and deep sounds so the beat is gonna be interesting. I'm gonna experiment with my voice and effects.
As a Christian rapper I want my beats hard and deep.
I'm writing a dis rap song aimed towards the devil.

Amen. Sometimes when I hear a song I’ve always loved, I start singing along and then I realize the lyrics are actually promoting sin/evil. I wonder, “ how did I never notice this before?!” Well, I didn’t have the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth. So glad God has opened my eyes to the truth about mainstream music, shows, movies, etc.
Yeah it’s scary to know that the littlest things like music can affect our spirit
It is Satan's way of luring people to sin and disobey God.

When I became a born again Christian 30 years ago I could no longer listen to secular music. It always had a way of taking me back to a time and place where I was living in the "world". When I was lost. Memories of a time I would rather forget. So I no longer let secular music take me there. 🙂
My lips will sing praises to the God MOST HIGH until I die🙏🏼❤🥺❤💯
Amen
When I was non Christian I watched Rodeo by lil nas I told my friend let's watch it together and while we watch the whole thing I was terrified barely had any sleep that night felt so uncomfortable then I showed it to my mom and she was Shocked then a couple of days later we turned to the Lord because we felt a emptyness and our life was meaningless without jesus but I use to listen to alot of music that was demonic and use stay up as if the Devil himself was there Glad I serve God now.
Amen! Thanks for your testamony. Continue on the path you're on. I know a lot of Christian music on the radio is just like the bland bubblegum pop you hear on secular radio, but there is some insanely good Christian music out there. If interested, let me know your taste in tunes and I can point out some great Christian music for you.

Thank you Joe. This video really hits home. As a former listener to so much negative suicidal thought inducing music. As a newly born christian christian songs of worship touches my spirit and brings about the most positive thoughts. And yes when I hear music from my past it really brings me down and can lead me back to the sinner I used to be. So than kml you again Jor for the awesome video.
Thank God for this!
It's not just modern music.. It's movies as well.. I notice that every movie denounces either christ or God... The whole movie may not be about bashing God/christ but they throw in one liners or subliminal messages that denounce God/christ...
Well yes, there are one liners constantly bashing and making fun of all kinds of beliefs. Because that’s what god is, a belief, it doesn’t take a superior role in the grand picture of things. You have no problem disrespecting atheists and generally other beliefs, why do you expect different treatment?
In order to get a big platform you have to be initiated into a Satanic cult. That is why they are always bashing Christ and Christians, and that is why they are always flashing the same occult "gang signs".
I once saw a dating app advertisement on tv that had the woman quite literally setting up a date, rejecting the humans and embracing the devil and calling him her best match. I try my best to avoid the ad and thank God i haven't seen it much lately.
Yes, indeed! It is a weakness for me because I watch many movies/tv. My women's group has been guiding to alternatives. Wow what a relief. But sometimes I fall and realize how disgusting most of these shows are. My heart has been completely changed in life.
True. I notice the christian they represent is a hypocrite a fake christian.

I think the lyrics are the message more so than the beat. I had my mother, a strict,conservative and devoted Christian listen to "Unity" by The O'Jays (after 20+ years of persuasion) and she truly listened and enjoyed it.She's gone now and have been for 10 years at the age of 92. Yet I'll never forget that shared memory. Gospel is my favorite and preferred music. Yet there is a message in music and song like Eddie LaVert said.

Heavenly Father, we come to YOU again, on behalf of so many young people that are constantly bombarded, ambushed by the things this world calls good, but is actually evil. Just as Your Word foretold thousands of years ago, we are living in Perilous times. Our culture has fallen so far, we can feel it....not only ours but this entire world is on a downward spiral. Lord, as You know so well, I too have a wayward daughter that has fallen into a snare of our arch Enemy. She lives in a way that is not good. Lord, I know I fail You often as well...we are all sinners, but Father, we just pray now; we call upon The Name Above ALL Names, Jesus Christ to forgive Our sins, and for our children to know YOU....The One that allowed mere mortals to Crucify HIM on that Cross some ~2,000 years ago, Lord we ask for OUR sinS to be forgiven and for our children to come to Repentance. Lord, I pray for Susan's daughter, as well as all of our young people, our children and grandchildren, all over this World that YOU created to come to YOUR SAVING GRACE!!...To know The Way, The Truth and The Life before it is everlasting TOO late. Lord, please guide us, protect us and give us the strength and courage to Stand against the wiles of the devil, and having done all, to stand. In Jesus Mighty and Glorious NAME, AMEN!!
🙏
As a mother myself, I believe that when we plant the seed in our children about Jesus, that's the best gift we could have given them and if they go into another direction, we just continue to pray and leave it in Father and Jesus hands. I believe in my heart they will come back to Him.

U bring up a humbling point that the rich and famous have to suffer with even more temptation than the average person.

I often hear music from my past and songs 🎵 my parents used to listen 🎶 to. The majority of these secular songs were attached to past sins, when I did not know Christ. The enemy thought he had me but Jesus came and grabbed me and I am not letting Him go. Thanks again Minister Joe for sharing this video.
Thank you Joe for such an interesting and informative video. I too, am a Christian who at times has struggled with what songs to listen to. The Spirit does tell your conscience what's good. I have had that feeling many times before. Your videos reinforce my belief in Christianity, and I realize I'm not alone, there are many good Christian people out there.
Yes. I need more Christian worship music. I have a 13 yr old and I feel as if I am tugging against the world for my child as if I am pulling him to God and the world is pulling him away. So thank you for sharing the video so that I can show my son, in hopes and faith that he also will feel uncomfortable listening to worldly music and start listening to Gods music. You are super awesome. Thank you for sharing that intimate moment, I used to be a drug addict as well been clean for 18 yrs now. Thank you thank you thank you. You are a human just like us thank you for being real and honest it makes me stronger and full of more faith.

I felt like my mind was being littered with the toxic things these artists sung about. Now I only listen to sermons, piano/worship music, and Christian songs
Piano music isn’t always worship music.
You are a lovely man, keep your messages coming. I was just like you Joe in many ways, used to be a professional DJ fir many years. Weddings initially and they where beautiful occasions but after several years I started doing nightclubs.

When i first heard MONTERO, i wanted SO BAD to get it off my head, but even trying to, i couldn't because i heard it from almost everywhere
Brainwashed sheep...
@Tucker Mulder yeah, the video AND the lyrics
@Tucker Mulder the video is a bit harder to understand but the song is easier to understand so let me try and explain the visuals. The snake of temptation or whatever it’s called is a representation of nas’s sexuality (hence him running away from it) but it eventually catches up with him. He is then out on trial (how Christians and most of society judge him for behind gay) then he starts going to heaven but then ends up going to hell (how he was told that being gay is a sin, so by him going to hell is just him accepting his sexuality. And you guys shouldn’t get mad about the satan lap since he only did it to kill him 😀
@Tucker Mulder if they didn’t want him to do that they should have never told him his entire existence is a sin
He made it for clout/mainstream views. So that his music will be talked about and skyrocket in sales and views
Hello brothers please pray for me

Thank you. Praying for these artists and all of us who listen to secular music. As a musician who craves music, I prayed that God would shield my ears and teach me discernment.
It goes much deeper than just the words you hear in the music.
The sounds, the images, and words, all together, sow very bad seeds.
It lasts a long time. You can see it on the faces and bodies of older people that listen to music all the time.
It is all they seem to have in life, to consume themselves by sounds, feelings, and nostalgia. Tied to lies, instead of living their lives.
I agree with you about Justin. We need to pray for him and all these artists and the people that are taken in by their their music. Thank you Joe for leading us every day to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

I'm super into music and fully believe you can listen to secular music as a Christian, however, more and more even artists I really enjoy are taking the lord's name in vain... It's becoming harder and harder to find music that goes well with where I'm at with my walk with Jesus... Thanks for this video
This is why I listen to EDM 😭 It’s hard nowadays
Romans 1:28-32
Listen to Metallica.
It was very hard to give up on secular music, I tried to make excuses telling myself that "neutral" secular music was ok, but finally gave up everything because they somehow distract my heart from Jesus.
EDM is no different
I feel exactly the same way as you, Joe. I was extremely disturbed when I saw what Lil Nas X was doing. I just hope people who watched that video will know that it’s wrong...
He's a fool. He'll soon reap what he sowed. I feel no remorse for such wickedness.
Yeah, me too. My friends showed that song to me, (wanted to include they didn't like it either), but honestly it was just frankly gross

I love music man. Listening to Queen, MJ, Prince, Mariah Carey, hearing their vocals, the guitar solos all of that. Music is so beautiful.
Music can also be demonic.
@@DerezzedMan yeah i am aware of that. i’m a new Christian and I just don’t think I’m quite ready yet to completely give up secular music, I really love music.
Music is amazing. I produce it, arrange, and compose. Music is neither good nor evil. It is just a medium. There's just something about mind blowing vocals, instrumentation, arrangements, everything. I started playing piano at the age of 3 and I have a studio now. For many years, music was my bread and butter both playing in churches and of course I paid my dues in touring, club bands, and house bands in night clubs. I loved every minute of it. I am a Christian, but like you, I believe music to be so amazing and uplifting. And all of the artists you named? AMAZING. I toured with a Journey cover band and it was phenomenal. I was the keyboard player of course :)
I know how you feel and I struggled with quitting secular music myself I was so into it, Drake, the Weeknd, Taylor Swift, Rihanna etc. But just allow the Holy Spirit to help take away the desire to listen to that music because it's not good for your Spirit, trust me it will hold you back from growing spiritually, and after some time you'll just be a lukewarm Christian
Queen is demonic. Have you listened to the words of bohemian rhapsody? “Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me”. Nothing ok about that.
