I used to attend a cult hiding behind the name church but what surprises me is we used to sing gospel worship songs and the so called ‘holy spirit’ would begin to manifest.
Thanks for sharing. Can relate as evidenced by the following sentences delineating how we use music to stir up faith, and to deal with spiritual attacks. The negative influences of this world are designed to make our heart sick through emotional & physical pain resulting in a given person turning to music as one source of comfort to the body. The painful realty of this existence gives rise to the birth of music in two forms, earthly & HEAVENLY. Earthly music speaks to the experiences of this world through the singer-song writer’s eyes. Oftentimes drug use (i.e. alcohol, smokes, marijuana, cocaine, opioids, benzos and propofol to name a few) is intertwined with the survival of an artist to deal with the pressure of performing in order to stay relevant in the music industry, and to serve as fuel for creativity. As a result, music celebrities develop a tendency to sin against their body, through excessive drug use, for not measuring up to or to satisfy the demands of their music. Any earthly joy they experience is darkened by the heavy burden of performing and the loss of privacy. The end users of their music become fans because the lyrics are relatable and the sound of the singer’s voice & rhythm helps them cope with the pains of this reality. Unfortunately, this band aid approach is only a time out from the hurt and in the meantime we are fortifying its wall with painful memories waiting in line. Who can save us from wounds that are silent, wordless and cruel all the while tearing us apart inch by inch on the inside, which could radically accelerate the demise of the human body? I will use caps as emphasis to show the honest reverence for GOD'S SOVEREIGNTY when writing about HEAVENLY music in the paragraphs below. That INVINCIBLE DIVINE be our HEAVENLY FATHER, WHO THROUGH HIS SON’S MISSION HAS INSPIRED believers to write songs that sing of HIS LIFE GIVING LOVE to deal with emotional & physical pain, economic instability, mortality and the emotional instability of others with the motive of winning over souls for HIS KINGDOM. The melody & theme of HEAVENLY music is hateful and intolerable to the devil, a spirit which causes us to be blinded of the effects of sin and is responsible for the woes of this world such as melancholy, anguish, tribulation and trial. These agitations of the soul create a heavy burden for the lost and could lead him or her to be hostile of songs that sing about GOD’S GLORY. This makes it clear that we cannot win the spiritual battle by our own strength. Moreover, on earth the devil has no equal. GOD has provided us with the ONE WHO CAN AND WILL LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt from a given sinner's heart if he or she (through faith) would open their understanding to Psalms (starting with the focus on Psalms 51:1-10 KJV), and hymns/songs giving praise to HIM for the purpose of being persuaded, converted and healed by the HOLY SPIRIT from within by transforming your body/temple into a meeting place for you and the KING OF THE AGES to commune as friends through the born again experience (repentance manifesting itself in a changed life). It is only here that the fears of tomorrow will diminish, the blessed assurance is given that you are HIS and HE LIVES. Once the blessed assurance is known in prayer (through the confession of wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, combine with admitting that JESUS CHRIST is LORD and believing in one’s heart that GOD raised HIM from the dead to deliver us from sin's guilt) the world can never take it away because the world didn’t give it to you.

Never thought I could stop listening to secular music. But I did 2 years ago. Guess what? The world didn't stop and I didn't die of boredom. I fill my heart with worship songs and even when I am silent; my heart still sings praises to God. What we sing or listen to plays in our spirit for days.
@@kathrynzulu6222 I look for songs that have scripture in them, songs that glorify God( Don Moen, Nathaniel Bassey, Bob Fits etc.) Allow the holy spirit to guard you. Don't treat gospel song like pop music, cos there are a lot of popular gospel musicians out there whose songs also glorifies self-worshipping. The songs have to be scriptural.
Um yes you can “Matthew 19:26 The phrase "through God anything is possible" is based on the biblical verse Matthew 19:26, where Jesus says, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible””
@@skannerz22fun fact, you can't redeem something that was made with the intentions of demonic practice. The only person who changes things from their original purpose is SATAN. God never used witchcraft to help anyone, hesimply redeemed the person who did such practices by taking them AWAY from witchcraft. Stop trying to defend sin.
This was so convicting. I am a teenager of today, and I grew up with Eminem, Melanie Martinez, and Halsey. Only lately have I been considering that this music is anti-Christianity. But I ignored that feeling, because I liked that music. Now, though, the conviction is so real. I thank God for opening my eyes.
Eminem is divided. He has true songs of worship like 'When im gone'. Its a song of 'lament' as mentioned in this video, but he truly express his love and worries for his daughter. The person he loves the most. Thats a powerful worship. Further Em states in the song: 'And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice Just know that I'm lookin' down on you smilin' 'And when im gone...Im looking down on you smiling' implies he thinks he goes to heaven or wants to go to heaven to look down on his smiling daughter. Then 'lose yourself' has curse words, and stuff like 'when the souls is leaving from a portal he created' not just pure lyrics. But he also says he there is a lonley road, god only knows'... Like i said, eminem being divided. Same goes for 2pac, which has clear references to the bible like 'gettho gospel' which is also a lamenting song from a christian perspective, that 'wants to end the bloodbath' but cant. Its like a prayer praying for god to give him strengh to overcome his sins. And only god can judge me is a call to people in sin thinking they are better than him. I wouldnt say that Eminem is Anti Christian per se, although he has influences like that. I'd say he's a lukewarm christian, but with some good songs!
I wish I was more careful what I listen to when I was younger. Eventually I started acting out those sins and going down the wrong path. But now I have to clean up my mess. But the difference is that I know that I have the Lord to help me and that I don't have to do it alone. I had a dysfunctional family and childhood. I can't control what happened in the past but I can control what happens in the present and what I control in the present will determine my future! I am not saying that it is going to be an easy road because we all have things we need to work on and we all have shortcomings but with the Lord, anything is Possible! Better young or late than never!
@@Faithandseekerofchrist As the wellknown US Priest Chad Rippenberger puts it: 'well now you have a lot of possibility given by life to aquire 'religious virtue'. See it as a blessing to come and transform the stuck energy into positivity 😍
I doubt anyone knows anything about what they are doing when this current version of the bible says anything is possible and yet no one uses their imagination for church
@piemanrocksyea maybe just try to position your heart differently..pastor Vlad was not referring to the Word of God but worldly things. Spiritual growth since we are ultimately Spirit 1st.. if i were to assume you have not just read but eaten the Words of the KJV of the Bible cover to cover.... can you honestly say you have not grown in spirit and truth? If you are going to throw out true freedom, the way you state then I will pray for you. Have a wonderful day!
In the past I would've laughed and mocked this idea. Recently God has strongly convicted me about ungodly music. So finally, I began to obey. And now "coincidentally" all of the most demonic and evil songs by Taylor Swift, Doja Cat, and other artists I used to like, are getting stuck in my head WAAAYY more often. I get this urge to listen to these songs when they were never even my favorites, some little voice saying "just play it once". It sounds so dramatic but it's literally like a drug. And it happens SPECIFICALLY with songs with the most anti-biblical lyrics??? Nahhhh bro. Idk exactly HOW this music afflicts us but this is way too demonic and suspicious for me to ever go back. I'm going to flee from these songs and artists from here on out. I have a son coming this fall; I have to protect his precious ears and spirit.
I never listened to most mainstream music. But anime music is something I can’t stop remembering, mostly because of a Lot’s wife mindset. Anime songs like Kachi Daze from Dragon Ball Super and Crossing Fields from Sword Art Online have been going through my head in the last week.
@@ChrystianSong Hi Chrystian, I see it as you are following after Christ and demons are doing their evil schemes. In Ephesians, I think 6, it teaches about spiritual warfare. Having done all to stand, continue standing and the demon will flee from you. It is quite troubling at first, wondering why it keeps at you to do it. You are in a place of spiritual growth. You pass the test of your faith as you remain faithful and endure.
@@ChrystianSong I feel you on this one. I too was once into anime songs such as Crossing Fields. But you must remember the following: the ONLY reason you like that song is because of the anime, which is filled with demonic imagery and repetitive sexualizing for the most part. When we think about it this way, we are able to see that it isn’t “just a song” but rather Satan baiting us to sin against our God. This mindset helps us to resist more quickly.
I can personally testify to this: Going to Chris Brown's 'Under the influence' concert was a real wake-up call for me...from the triangle or hand with the eye in the middle to depictions of egyptian gods and robots with red eyes saying 'you're now under my influence'..it had it all as background visuals, while he sung, along with hypnotizing colorful imagery. As a christian, who is actually spirtually aware of these things of the music industry, I willingly subjected myself to that, in the name of 'oh, he's just an artist I've liked since i was a kid, what's the biggie?' Well, the biggie was that night, i had the most intense and frightening spiritual warfare of my life!! An invisible, powerful and negative force was keeping me down, I couldn't move an inch, total paralysis! Yet i knew to call for Jesus, even though it looked like a nightmare, my conciousness was fully there and operating. And a calm voice from the force said 'This time he's not coming'..and let me tell you i panicked so hard and spoke out every piece of scripture i knew, like my life depended on it, before i was eventually released against a lot of resistance, to the point where it felt like they were drowning me, so i couldn't speak His name anymore!😢 But yeah...since then I've been taking the spiritual world VERY seriously along with what i expose my gates to! I definitely don't want to go through that again, because it just shows you, how helpless you are, since you can't move and there literally is no other weapon to fight them with but The Word and His name...JESUS!
Omg I used to be in love with Chris brown girl tattoo of him I went to that concert and felt off about that to my number 1 god is god now not Chris brown
@@samanderson1650 Same, bro, same.. I started seeing dance videos from that one song 'Angel numbers' from his new album..and said, okay I want to check out the music video...and he's blatantly opening his chakras in that MV as a Jezebel spirit comes out of a lake..and I was like...nope 👀...I'm outta here!
I totally agree. I used to listen to a few songs on his "Under the Influence" album. Every time the cover came on the tv, my dog would bark at it. I didn't understand why at the time, but those are demonic spirits and I guess even animals can feel those at times. Definitely nothing to play with at all.
Jesus told me to stop listening to non-Christian music at least a year ago. He led me through a prayer of repentance for listening to secular music & then I got delivered from at least 1 evil spirit if not more as I felt this negative ball of energy leave the center of my chest & instantly I felt a TON better overall... i was like WOW I didn't even know I was struggling like that with not feeling as well from an evil spirit until He cast it out of me. I'm soooo thankful to Jesus!!! ❤🎉 Hallelujah, Lord. There is plenty of great Christian music out there to replace it with! Jesus made sure of that for His people😊
I haven't listened to any secular music for 4 years now. But I'm still careful what i listen to christian music also. It helps me with my walk with Jesus.
I would like to know the artists you listen to. I only have like 77 songs in my playlist and many are repeated songs. Before I had over 5k songs of secular music. I wish I had that much of Christian music.
@@kirika20Some suggested Christian artists: Twila Paris Hannah Kerr Susan Ashton Stephanie Gretzinger Katy Nicole Keith Green Riley Clemmons Jaci Velasquez Amy Grant's christian music (especially from her hymns of faith album) A mixture of different styles, but worth checking out
I just wanted to thank you so much Pastor Vlad. I converted from atheism to Christianity three months ago. Already my mental health had improved miraculously, but I'm still navigating my faith and what changes walking with Jesus will bring to my life. You always have a video based sola scriptura to answer my questions. You are making my journey so much more clear. You are truly doing God's work. Thank you❤
Don’t give up. ❤❤ “Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.” Matthew 5:12 KJV
Around January I was told about the spirits behind music and since then I’ve cut almost all of it out and have noticed a massive difference in my walk with Christ. I was legitimately just clicked onto RUclips to look up my first secular song in a long time, then this video was the first thing to pop up! Needless to say it changed my mind😌
@@skannerz22 someone who I’ve known most of my life and trust completely. He’s much further along I’m his walk with and on his way to becoming a pastor. He speaks very frequently about the things that Christians should cut out of there life to further their walk with Christ and I completely agree because I can feel the difference.☺️ and the song was by Wilbur soot who I used to listen to a lot, but it’s definitely not music for Christians, so I’ve cut it out.
nope. romans 8:38-39, "For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord." demons are angels, dude. if angels are able to indwell you, then you are not in the love of God in Christ Jesus. matthew 12:43-45, "When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation.” basically, demons enter people who blaspheme against the holy spirit (mentioned earlier in matt 12).
@@_ben_miller The demons are dark angels and actually the ruler is a demon or power. Blaspheming the Holy Spirit isn't the only action that will cause a Christian to have a demon. Demons can enter through sex between two people! Paul said these things will not separate me from the love of God. Some people worship angels. Paul said things will happen in our lives but don't quit. 2nd Peter said be sober be vigilant for the devil seeks as a roaring lion. The Bible says don't give place to the Devil. If you listen to the wrong music, Satan can influence you. He was the Archangel of Music before he was banished from heaven
@@_ben_miller 😂... A dark or fallen angel does not work for God... Satan is their leader... a third of heaven were banished by God and thrown into darkness before the Earth was created.
But not all Christian music are "Christian" though. For example, Hillsong, Bethel and Elevation "christian" music are not Christian music. These are word of faith churches, and they teach false doctrine. Ephesians 5:11 Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.
How much Gods word you sell over the years Vlad? asking for a friend. Does it bother you that you accept money from people with much less? even poor widows. How many millions do you have stashed away? And why do you need millions of dollars?

I used to take Zumba classes for exercise before the pandemic. I went back to the classes when the gyms reopened, but felt very strongly that the music and the movements were not pleasing to God so I stopped. This teaching backs up my decision. Thank you Pastor Vlad!
I agree! The eyes and ears are gateways to the soul. I am very careful of what I watch and listen to now. A couple of weeks ago I felt like I was under a spiritual attack. When I made the decision to start back reading God’s word and talking to God, my spirit was uplifted. I made the decision to be careful of what I listen to and watch. I haven’t had the feeling of depression, anxiety, fear, and doubt since I decided to stay in the presence of God. God gives me perfect peace and I am so thankful!
Left my ex-husband 18 years ago. Over the years he was listening to worse music all the time. And he was bringing home movies that he would watch after i went to bed. Horror movies. Pornographic movies. Many with odd music i could hear from the bedroom. And he was becoming more and abrasive and abusive over the years. But he could not see it. When i would look in his backpack, and see what kind of movies he was bringing home, i would beg him not to bring such things thru the door. He didnt care. Eventually i had to leave him. Because he would not even open up to his abuse in a counselors office. He could not go to church and understand how his life was so far removed from the life of Christ. He became a liar. And abused our son on a visit with him. He stole $ from one of my investments before i got my hands on it. So do i believe that certain kinds of music can ruin ones life !?!? Yes indeed
I’m sorry for your struggle, in hindsight I know that buying into rebellious music and smut has done so much damage in my life and possibly ended it earlier than need be.

Hmmm these are the little foxes that destroys the vineyard. Sometimes we think these things does not matter. But the truth is they go a long way than we can ever imagine. We are to guard our hearts with all diligent, cos out of it flows the issues of Life.
You're making the correlation-causality mistake here. There is a correlation between your Ex-husbands behaviour, but not necessarily a causality. There are so many other things that can possibly influence someones character, and probably he always had these traits in him, so blaiming it just on some music he listened to is fairly inaccurate.
@@m.f.5739 We can't really say tho. But the Truth of the matter is music is beyond entertainment. It's affects the mind. If David could play songs for king Saul and the demons In Him would leave, definitely there are songs that invites demons into one's Life.
True Pastor Vlad. I had to delete my spotify account because it was a cesspool... I created a new one focused entirely on Christian music, and I'm happy with my Choice everyday! Secular music is not for Christians!
I am so glad I prayed and received Gods word about blatantly secular and secular music as a whole. My brother, sister, and people I know around me who call themselves Christian still listen to yeat, even though he's openly speaking about the devil. Music is a huge part of spiritual warfare and there are plenty of artists who openly are demonic. Prayers toward anyone struggling with getting away from secular music.
Independent songwriters need your help to be heard! I write because God told me to share my gifts with humanity. He came to me when I was in a very low point in my life. He told me to start sharing my songs. Peace.
@@andreay9935 hi Do you want to be free from the hold of secular music? The Bible says in James 3vs 11 -12 11 Does a spring of water bubble out with both fresh water and bitter water? 12 Does a fig tree produce olives, or a grapevine produce figs? No, and you can’t draw fresh water from a salty spring. Dear, you can not use the same lips to bless God and praise the devil! See the first step is this, you have to delete all the secular music on your phone so you won't be easily tempted to Fall. Then you download gospel songs. I would recommend songs from Hillsong, Victoria Orenze, Nathaniel bassey. Download songs that edifies the soul. DEAR TAKE THE BOLD STEP AND DELETE ALL THE SECULAR MUSIC ON YOUR PHONE, PLAY THE GOSPEL SONGS UNTIL YOU FIND JOY IN THEM.
I have known about the darkness of music since 2009. Secular music has been on and off for me because I grew up in a musical household. I also use to throw parties from middle school to college and help DJ so God really had to do a work in me of letting go of memories and emotions which are attached to music as well. I notice now every time I am down that's when i get the urge to listen to something nostalgic and i put on something Christian instead. Music has many spirits that are not of God and can hinder your walk.
I’ve been struggling with this topic of secular music in my own life and the Holy Spirit just answered my questions, doubts and concerns regarding this manner. Thank you Pastor Vlad for being a vessel of God and preaching his word and truth. This channel and your ministry is a blessing for me. God continue to bless this channel and ministry in Jesus name, Amen.
I absolutely agree pastor. I love EDM and a lot of non-vocal electronic music, but I’ve been seeing a trend growing for the past couple years where the music that used to be described by many as uplifting, is now growing darker. Many of the musicians are also embracing the transcendence of the human into the artificial machine & AI. Now, many of the artists I used to love are creating music that fills me with negative thoughts. It’s clearly the tentacles of evil slowly consuming another area of access to us believers. Every time I see another musician go dark I stop following. It breaks my heart, but I don’t need more darkness in this already dark world. Music is incredibly powerful in so many ways that science is just now realizing, just as the Bible has shown us for two thousand years! Thank you for shining a light of this!!!
@@melissagonzalez2474 who are they?!? I’m not surprised that there is, and I’ve found a couple who are devout Christians, but I’m always looking for new artists.
I had a former Pastor who has now gone on to Glory. He testified of an experience he had as a backslider, of him playing music and singing in a bar one night. He said that he had an overpowering spirit come over him that was similar to the anointing, only opposite of the Holy Spirit that he had felt before he backslid. He realized that was an evil spirit and that he didn’t want anything to do with it. Praise the Lord he came back to God and became an awesome, anointed preacher, and singer for the Lord. He was my pastor as s young teenager and was instrumental in my spiritual growth and development as a young Christian. That’s been 40 years ago. Your message is right on target pastor. Thank you so much
Masturbation protects against suicide Sex drugs and cocaine protected a guy from suicide and suicide is the worst sin yet the others are supposably falsely being judged in the spirit realm as sins yet these lying spirits contradict themself by being unable or unwilling to see it and yet falsely claim they are better than you while judging you yet have never lived your life even posessing you Every choice leads to god Because everything is possible with god You just need to be smart and read what jesus said to do😂
Evil spirits usually unguided and uncommanded posessing people try destroying relationships or make you sick or try making you poor And it is very consistant what they do because they themself don’t know what to do untill you tell them what to do by having bible command them what to do Go see tb joshua church and see what they say themself when being exorcised out of people
One time i was attacked by demons in the spirit realm while i was dead because they tricked me and i managed to convince them to create a heaven in their madness and then i abandoned it and went to the real heaven when i managed to have time to ask for someone to rescue me A different time different evil demons were torturing me and i managed to convince them to start up robot fighting ring on earth and they all abandoned the hell and took me and everyone to earth to do it all they are taught to do is torture people they do not know what they are doing they know they are doing it for entertainment but don’t see what else to do Go read what jesus said And you see the reason why people go to bars
Hi Do you want to be set free from the hold of secular music? Dear the Bible say in James 3vs 11-12 11 Does a spring of water bubble out with both fresh water and bitter water? 12 Does a fig tree produce olives, or a grapevine produce figs? No, and you can’t draw fresh water from a salty spring. We cannot offer praises to God and offer praises to the devil on the same lip.

So true. I used to be heavy on R&B music in my preteens, teens, and early adulthood and I got deeper and deeper into sexual immorality , I was so wicked. Thank God for his grace and mercy and for delivering me from so many things! God bless you all!
Thank you for this video Pastor Vlad. This is one of the things the Holy Spirit dealt with me on when I got closer to Jesus. I'm so into music, there's always a song on my mind, I wake up singing and lyrics stick without me even trying. Gospel music has helped me to grow up spiritually and has helped me in my down times. God has always sent a song to me for every season. Music indeed is a weapon that should be considered and used wisely.
Jesus/yahshua is himself he is not the holy Spirit I am the holy Spirit i am stuck as a human and have not met you here within how ever long we have been here
Thank you for this message, Pastor Vlad. It’s very timely as I am surprised by how many Christians have no problem listening to inappropriate secular music. The lack of discernment in this generation is astounding. 😢
I write songs because that’s what God put in my heart. He told me to use my talents to spread His light. Music refreshes my soul, and I try to pass that on to anyone who listens. peace.

If you fear the lord your in a cult and believe a bunch of made up nonsense that church leaders made up to tell you you’re going to hell. I don’t know why anyone who understands and embraces Jesus Christ would fear him. Our lord is all love, all light. I love the lord. He brings warmth unto me and my heart. I don’t fear him. “Be a God fearing Christian” is cult nonsense. Be a God loving Christian. That’s what Jesus taught us, and that’s what he would want of you
Amen!!!! It was definitely meant for me to watch this video. I have been struggling with listening to secular music for a while now and I’ve been trying hard to not listen to artists like Beyoncé, Rihanna, Ariana Grande, and etc and tend to find myself slipping back and listening to one of their songs because the beat is good or because the song came out years ago and “is not that bad” which still doesn’t make it right. But watching this video gave me the breakthrough that I needed to permanently stop listening to these demonic artists who pushes Satan’s agenda in this world. Thank you so much for posting this video🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️
You need to guard your heart diligently because demons don't give up and they will come at you again to see if there is a loophole they can take advantage of. You have to close all doors to them. Read Psalm 139:23-24, Ask the Lord to examine and remove whatever seeds have been sown in you, may The Lord help you and strengthen you in Jesus Name Amen.
Thos artists are really not challenging to give up. But what if you’re really into progressive rock, Tool, or modal jazz? Which Christian music will replace the quality of those genres and artists?
Amen brother you’re 100% right music is very important and I gave up secular music a couple years ago, and all I listen to is Christian music and it helps me so much every day to be singing and praising God all day every day, so thank you for this video. I shared it with some of my friends keep doing what you do I love all your videos, and keep praising Jesus, the king of kings lord of lords come Lord Jesus come
Thank you pastor Vlad, I am from Myanmar and a Christian. God is using you to teach us about all this. Now, I'm realizing and being careful to stay away from demonic music, movies, books, and even decorations things at home, even the words that come from our mouths. May God bless you and all God's holy people around the world and may he use his holy people to warn and teach about those things, especially on the internet. God bless you all.
As soon as I came to God and became reborn, this was one of the very first things He told me to get rid of. He said every last bit of secular music I dont want you to put in your ears anymore. And I prayed for a while and asked God to send me music that Glorifies Him and now I have a whole playlist of music that worships Him and in many different styles as well. GLORY TO OUR FATHER!!!!! Thank you Pastor Vlad for putting this video out there.

What type of Christian artists are on your playlists? I like the old school Christian music like Keith Green, Twila Paris, and old Southern Gospel like the Inspirations and Gold City. I also listen to some newer Christian music like Charity Gale, Chris Tomlin, David Phelps, Big Daddy Weave, etc. I do still listen to some secular oldies music though like Jackie Wilson, Ann Murray, the Staples, the Commodores, etc. I think it is what you think about when you listen to the music that makes the difference. “Your Love Keeps Lifting me Higher” by Jackie Wilson always makes me think of God and is such an uplifting tune!
I don't listen to the radio often, i use to and i used to get hooked on music about being different mentally & emotionally. So, it influenced my low self esteem in me. Now, with this, understanding, we have to be so careful who we listen to. Thank you for this knowledge.
Entertainment is the devil’s substitute for joy. - Leonard Ravenhill Very good and very truthful commentary. Sacred music is very under appreciated. I have it 24/7 in my home. I don’t have ears nor time anymore for secular music. Others can but I can’t.

Amen and amen! This is something I have shared with people who consider themselves believers, but don't want to let go of the secular music or dancing to the secular music. It is just so refreshing to hear another minister speak about this and in such a simplistic way. God bless you, man of God.
Wow! So true! My thoughts are: this is absolutely correct! I’ve realized over the years that this world IS the enemy’s playground and we must be attentive and prepared to be strong in our Faith to know what is right and what is wrong. The gift of discernment. It is important to delete music on our playlist, unsubscribe to worldly artists, unfollow IG people who are not of God. I did that and I’m so glad I did! God bless you, Sir and keep doing the work of God through RUclips. Take care!
I've never liked the swear songs and never have listened to it ever. Have to turn it off. My driving and my temperament changed drastically when listening to certain types of music. So, I decided to start to listen to jazz to calm me down when driving and it worked. Now, my music tendency is gospel at 99.9% until my husband turns the radio to another station. My husband on the other hand hates my gospel music, but I am praying that one day Christ Jesus will touch his heart when my gospel music is played in the car, kitchen, dining room or anywhere in the house. God works in mysterious ways and I have faith that He will make this happen. Thank you Vlad for all your teachings. All in Christ Jesus Stay Forever Blessed.
Christians and secular music is a no period .. if it doesn’t glorify God it glorifies someone else .. take this from someone who loved 90s music and R&B .. the more I began to draw closer to God every time I sang those songs I feel terrible in my spirit And then attacks I used to have start coming upon me again .. this is a big struggle for me and for others but I said I’m not going back to those songs .. they put ideas in your head , you sing curses that you don’t even know you are singing and all types of wicked things
Yes!!!!! YES!!!! YES!!!!!!!! EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAID!!!!!! You sing curses over yourself! Thats so true i forgot that part in my other comment. And secular music is sad and depressing mostly. Usually the love songs are from broken hearts and people being sorry and sorry is all the can sing. It irritates me where i can attack a radio if i cant change station quickly enough. Other songs are filled with rebellion and other with lust and suicide etc. Especially rock and metal.
@@D.ocument.The.Journey- As long as the lyrics are not about exploitation of women and sex etc. I personally like old school love songs from the late 70's to 80's, but only on special occasions.
Never could get into R&B but I do love my classic rock. Grew up on it in the 90s lol. Billy Idol, Metallica, Guns 'N Roses, Iron Maiden, Bon Jovi, Judas Priest, Megadeth, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, tons of old school rock.
I promise, every time I watch a video of yours Pastor Vlad, it feels like this is a special message JUST for me. Like God wanted me to hear this message and gain clarity. A few months ago, I felt led to delete ALLLLL the music from my Apple Music account that was not Gospel music. I wanted to fight against it but the feeling to delete it was too strong so I had to be obedient. I’ve felt better ever since. I play my gospel music exclusively and I jam out to it, cry and worship while I’m driving and my 11 year old loves it. I’m trying to be a good example for him and I’m grateful that God is giving me grace in this season of my life while I clean out the trash. Thank you for this video. God bless you 🙏🏿
There's a reason why I stopped being a swiftie. Now worship music is all I got, and I'm so thankful for Jesus Christ for changing me. Long live the messiah.
"And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord" Ephesians 5:18-19 Amen
How much Gods word you sell over the years Vlad? asking for a friend. Does it bother you that you accept money from people with much less? even poor widows. How many millions do you have stashed away? And why do you need millions of dollars?
I'm thankful God made that clear to me when I gave my life to Him in 2013, I have not even desire for that kind of music. He completely washed that off me by His blood. I cleaned out everything by His grace. Thank You Jesus.
I thank God for this message. The strange thing is that just last week there was this battle in me to listen to worldly music and I almost lost the battle. Thank God, in the end, I decided not to listen to that music and instead, I started writing in my journal about what God is doing in my life. A few days after that, my husband had a dream that he was cleaning his ears and they were very dirty. He said that he interprets the dream to mean that he needs to be careful what he listens to. It's so strange that after all that, I come across this video about secular music. Thank you Jesus.
Same thing happen to me I was watching this series on nextflix called "obliterated" and it was nothing but debauchery! There was lesbian and gay acts along with excessive drug and alcohol use the part made me stop watching was the unfiltered sex scene that didn't hold anything back! Even my non Christian friend said "I don't think God would want you watching this" then when I decided to turn it off and ask for forgiveness after seeing it
You are absolutely right pastor..you explained well about how to discern music with the word's from Bible.. 🙏🏼I have been listening to nothing but worship songs for almost three years and the joy it brings is something beyond my word's..Thank you pastor for saying the truth.. You are a true vessel of God.. God bless you abundantly ❤❤
Hello, I recently found this video and I'm convinced of everything that pastor Vlad has spoken of throughout. I read your comment and I wanted to ask if there is any specific artist(s) or songs that you could recommend to me. Believe it or not but I've been struggling with the urge to listen to secular music that I've grown up with. A lot of my life is influenced by the music I've listened to and I really want to break free from the ties I've made to them. I need some help if you could please 🙏
Thank you for speaking on this subject! 👏💪 Music is such an important part of mosts peoples lives! 🥳 And plays a large part of our influences! Let us all pray we keep our ears and spirit in guide with the Lord such as what is brought out in Philippians 4:8 🙏❤️
Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. I trust in God and keep faith even as I struggle to take care of my children and myself. As a single mother things are so hard on me. Both of my sons are autistic I’m overwhelmed. God please hear my prayers. I’m constantly struggling to buy groceries and constantly struggling to pay rent I’m ashamed and overwhelmed. But I choose to have faith over fear as christians that’s all we can do. No matter your struggle, you can turn to God. He knows us personally and can give us strength to overcome our challenges. Heavenly and merciful Father, I come before your glorious throne today, in humble adoration please help me overcome my struggles and my constant fear of homelessness. You have provided this far and I’m so grateful for your love and mercy. I will continue to walk with faith! And not by sight!❤
How much Gods word you sell over the years Vlad? asking for a friend. Does it bother you that you accept money from people with much less? even poor widows. How many millions do you have stashed away? And why do you need millions of dollars?
Thank you for this word Ps. Vlad! My emotion had been wrecked by music! I dont let any song that doesn't have life in it to enter in anymore! Secular or 'Christian'. It's all about what is in the soul. Either anointing or darkness. Keep your soul CLEAN and GUARD IT!! 😊.

I was there watching from below when he made darkness as an energy form And i created a sibling for him equal to his power level at the time which is made of darkness since he loved it so much more than light when he was claiming to be the light yet played in darkness more than light which was the whole parody of the situation that started the supernatural amara to exist
I was making a sibling for him originally i was trying to make someone as powerful as my self but i repurposed her to be his sibling because i had been too powerful so i tried again with other girls later on
I write songs for people who believe. I am also human, so I write about my human experiences (aka mistakes), but through the lens of someone who knows God. peace. edit: what you mentioned about Beyoncé was 100% accurate. Whenever I get nervous about performing live, I PUT ON THE ROBES OF CHRIST.
Great teaching. What most people don't know is that when it comes to music, the origin is important. It's not about the beat or the lyrics. It's the origin.
The timing is miraculous: just in the past few days I've deleted about 60% of my music library, and this video has given me the push to keep going & be more discerning, thank you so much!!^-^
I also use Philippians 4:8 as a guide on what songs I listen to. So awesome to know I was on the right track. Though I’ve been struggling to let go of secular music, I decided not so long ago to let go of music that doesn’t glorify God or fall in the guide I use from Philipians 4:8. I wouldn’t say it’s hard but what I was struggling was letting go of those beautiful sounding beats. But I made a decision to choose God and not the enemy. So I use that now to help me overcome. I got tempted… but even if I give in, my conscience wouldn’t allow me to enjoy the music especially knowing what I know now and that in the moment I made a choice against God’s will for my life. So yeah… Choose God and use Philipians 4:8 as a guide❤️. Much love and support from South Africa☺️🇿🇦.
When I got saved I had to give up worldly music. It took awhile but it was worth it. My spirit was not filled with mixture. The little foxes that spoil the vine. 1❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥

This applies to movies (what we watch) as well. There's this movie on Netflix that I really wanted to watch because I heard it had a really good story line and yesterday I started watching it and I just felt uncomfortable in my spirit. I stopped watching it but then I was still contemplating whether I should watch it or not because I really wanted to know what it was about. I decided not to rush and watch it then this video popped up today. I won't be finishing the movie because of how I felt in my spirit and the fact that from the first few scenes, it seems to be portraying some form of sexual perversion. The name of the movie is "Her".
Great point. Glad you brought this up. A movie I recently saw that I wish I didn't was The Northman. Basically heavy pagan content, and the background music had lots of old Nordic chant from the medieval times that left me uncomfortable. I watched it because I enjoyed most of the main cast but i should've stopped right away. The constant chanting and pagan rituals felt demonic plus the violence that involved body mutilation made for a heavy watch. The director also made The Witch which I didn't see but it has satanism everywhere from the reviews I read.
@@itsjazzyjules yeah that sounds really messed up. How did you feel after you watched it? Do you feel like it affected you in any way? Its sad but its actually hard to find movies that don't contain some form of perversion or falsehood.
@@rajivlewis5895 It just felt dark and demonic but I was able to pray afterwards to get the chants out of my mind, since the chanting happened right when the film started and all the way through. I agree with you it seems like the more violent a movie/TV show gets, the more viewers would tune in. But I notice there are secular movies that still holds Christian values and/or uplift the good, like The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Narnia movies, The Lion King, superhero films that don't glorify non-biblical values in their plot. These are the types my fellow believer friends still watch. We can also watch and find what is wrong with certain scenes and share with others.
@@rajivlewis5895 and @itsjazzyjules I believe that there are people on whose hearts God has laid it to remedy the lack of safe quality content to watch for Christians. There is the Chosen Series, there is the Winlos, there is Mount Zion Movies, there is Pure Flix. There are definitely dozens more that need the right encouragement and finances to go through. I think it's something worth praying about and supporting whenever the opportunity arises.
Since the time the Holy Spirit leads me to Pastor Vlad, I follow his teachings/preachings because they are very inspiring and spirit uplifting. Thanks God and praise God upon his life. .
Thank you so much. I really needed to hear this. The main purpose of music is to worship God and the other purpose is refreshment and relaxation among others. I need to be careful when relaxing and refreshing to not feed the carnal man and to not listen to music that invites evil spirits into my life.
When I first gave my life to Christ my phone randomly broke and my boyfriend (now husband) gave me a random phone he had. The phone he gave me had a music streaming software. I initially typed in gospel music and the software had a great playlist. That drew me closer to God. After prayer, God revealed that my phone was broken for that reason. I didn’t realize how much of the music I listened to was damaging to my walk with Him. I was tempted to listen to music every now and then, but I didn’t like what it did to me. I felt like it gave me the wrong thoughts and didn’t make me feel like I saw myself how God saw me, especially because a lot of that music degraded women. Lastly, I enjoyed the last Beyonce album. Her lyrics weren’t bad but I left feeling convicted. Because of her covenants with demonic spirits, listening to her music is like communing with the demons she has made covenants with. I had to sacrifice that, I’d rather be close to God then pick up things that draw me from Him and undo the progress made in my life.
Thank you so much for this video man of God! I had to learn the hard way some “Christian” music isn’t from God, nor are the singers trying to give God the glory. This video is bold and very on time. God bless you!
Vlad. I'm a songwriter struggling to write a LOT of different songs. I follow you regularly and I just finished this video. Took a lot of notes. You really helped enlighten me and inspired me. Thanx so much for this. Had quite a big impact on me. God Bless and protect your ministry. And your family. And you. Much Love. Barton Knight. 🤠
Thank you for posting. I stopped secular music over 2 years ago but someimes still struggle (especially when I workout as I enjoyed the secular songs that would get me pumped up). I am restraining my urge to listen. Please keep exposing entertainment.
How much Gods word you sell over the years Vlad? asking for a friend. Does it bother you that you accept money from people with much less? even poor widows. How many millions do you have stashed away? And why do you need millions of dollars?
@@MissMcD Thanks for your support. Yes when I workout I miss all that high energy, high power music and back then I didn't care what the song was as long as it sounded good. I used to listen to everything like Beyonce, Prince Madonna, Disco, DJ Tiesto, Martin Garrix really anything high power. I even liked this one songe from Imagine Dragons called Thunder (absolutely loved that song but I read the lyrics now and see none of it glorifies the Lord). God bless you in all your journeys in life..
Secular music has been and still is one of the biggest battles of my walk that I’m currently facing- it controls my thoughts! And GOD has revealed to me It places me in “altered state of consciousness” it causes me to “trance out” and disassociate I’ve been trying to over come this for a couple of years now and god has freed me many times only I keep returning like a dog returning to its vomit. After doing studies and lots of research on music we listen to today especially modern pop and hip hop the “beat” can be as addictive as cocaine. It hits the same Endorphins in the brain as a class A drug. I definitely know this is an addiction in my life and every day is a struggle. I also heard that these pop stars that worship Baal have also cast spells on there music lyrics. They also speak through back masking.
I remember in early 90s I used to like listening to country music and romantic music when I was advised that best option not to listen to them brought this apprehensiveness in me and thought what was wrong with that but then the Holy Spirit enlightened me and today I am a great advocate to tell people to be careful to what they watch and listen to. Thank you Pastor Vlad, may your cup overflow and run over.
Thank you so much for this video pastor Vlad I was still struggle asking the Lord if I can make secular music that's pure but there was this deep conviction which pulled me to not making it and wait patiently for an answer. May God bless you🧡

I have completely left secular music and listen to worship songs that exalt Jesus Christ. My daughter and I sing worship songs together while I’m driving and we’re in the car, just me, her and Jesus 🥰♥️♥️♥️ It’s the most beautiful thing when I see her feel the music the way I do and hear her lovely little voice sing beautiful songs about Jesus 🥰♥️🥰🥰
One of the first things God convicted me of as a Christian was secular music. I remember how hard it was at 16 getting rid of those CDs full of rap and pop music! Now it sounds like trash to me, I’m not even tempted at all.
Pastor Vlad, thank you SO MUCH for this teaching. I have been saying the same things for years to my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ in my church but my words have fallen on deaf ears for the most part. I agree with that the creator and the lyrics need to be concidered BEFORE consuming. Blessings
I recently got convicted about the dangers of listening to secular music, after understanding that I'm body, soul and spirit and realizing that as I'm listening to these ungodly songs I am actually downloading these lyrics to my soul , through my thoughts and as I sing and speak , that I am actually sowing and setting into motion curses through my spoken words, I began googling every songs lyrics before I play the song and it is so bizarre what you find when you do that. Thank you for giving us this insight and scripture references, lol the artist you mentioned was the first to mind as well. Keep advancing the Gospel ❤
Almost a year ago I chose to change the music I thought I loved, shortly after that I realized the absolute truth of Proverbs 18:21 & the curses I was putting on & in my life. Just a hand full of months back my husband noticed a change & wanted it too. Our music is 💯 different then it was before & life is getting better every day… regardless of the situation & circumstances. Thank you for this message Pastor Vlad! God bless you! 🔥🔥🔥
How much Gods word you sell over the years Vlad? asking for a friend. Does it bother you that you accept money from people with much less? even poor widows. How many millions do you have stashed away? And why do you need millions of dollars?
The music I listened to and the movies/tv shows I watched were the very first things to go when I was born again! I immediately felt an overwhelming conviction about them & had no desire for them. 12 years later it still grieves my heart anytime I hear or see anything ungodly. At first when I was seeking God I didn't care for Christian music at all, but I kept listening to it and finally I prayed about it and asked God to help me love Christian music. He came through 💯! Now I'm trying to teach my children about these things. It's hard because everywhere you go they're playing ungodly music and advertising the secular music artists. Thank you for making this video, I will have my children listen to it.
@@LC-fq4cv i’m techniquely “sleep walking” 24/7 most of the time since i’m god if i look at everything i’ll probably get a head ache and have to fix stuff and no one likes it then i have to fix them then fix stuff then fix everything and while making everything look identical to current and function the same while people can still go jerk off without judging It’s easier for me to sleep walk and make seperate universes for jesus or yahweh to visit when ever i quit this one
Looking forward to this video. I was a songwriting major so I enjoy writing music, and I want to stay on God's side with everything that I do, including the music I listen to. Recently I did a cleanup of the secular music that directly speak against God. Like a few comments I have seen, I would like your perspective on other genres like jazz, indie folk and more. From what I understand, it's more about the lyrics than the genre. Do they glorify God or do they contradict what is written in the Bible. There are musicians who are considered mainstream but openly and regularly speak about their faith and even make albums for the Lord like Carrie Underwood and Tori Kelly. But I have read comments saying that the ones who are at the very top.. their labels put spells on their physical records so they sell out. They're the ones whose fans are highly obsessed they would pay thousands to go to their shows. New age is also becoming a big part of pop culture now with people playing with tarot cards, astrology and divination that are portals to the demonic realm. The devil knows how to get to people through music easily because he was a choir director back then, and we need God's guidance always. Like the Bible states, what is right is considered wrong in today's time, and what is wrong is being viewed as right, and not supporting it can result in getting cancelled or publicly shamed.
Jazz and indie is fine because it is put inside of a genre as is all music. what's inside of the genre (all of the artists and purposes) is important. You should try listening to Christian jazz or Christian indie folk its easily accessible on RUclips. Even then use discernment because not all Christians are actually who they are but you will know them by their fruits (actions). Hope this helps!
Hi, the Holy Spirit will give you the words .Ignore other music and just be true to your desire to please God .I think praying for the Holy Spirit to give you the heart for souls to be drawn to God thru your lyrics and the music. Take time, don't rush. You want to be sure it is pleasing to God.
The New Age and Occult are very much practiced by A LOT, if not most of the Christian artists today also. It's just not in the mainstream. Labeling music as "Christian" does not mean anything at all, whatever they sing about. Music is a topic where it's on a person's conviction and conscience. But of course we stay away from what's very obviously "evil" in appearance and foul in language. Music is just that, a means to glorify God, but there is no inherent virtue.
As I am a seminary in the Philippines, I used to listen to secular songs because I wanted to improve my English listening skills and words. I am convinced through this video. Thank you Holy Spirit and Ps. Vlad Savchuk.
Me and my family go to a Pentecostal Church in spartanburg south carliona. This Dec will be 2 years. The first song our band played I heard was way maker my middle child immediately got up and started walking in the victory march with the other children obediently it made me feel good it made me cry so the next day I downloaded that song to my RUclips playlist I listen to that song over and over and over again it was a good song to me that are good songs never get old but in return I did not listen to the other music but also what happened one gospel song came in another gospel song came in another gospel song came in and like I said I did not listen to the other music my old music it was two weeks after we started church that I woke up one morning I heard that song in my dreams I woke up and heard it playing as my eyes adjusted I still heard it then it slowly faded away I did not ever listen to that music again I knew what that was that was the devil trying to get in through doors Praise Jesus for all Deliverance
I went back and forth from worship and praise music to secular. Even if it's not a curse, lust or anything brutal music, I kept feeling like I contradict my consciousness. I believe Holy Spirit tried to convict me to go back to where it was, It happens so too many times when I listens to worldly music. I can't keep denying this, otherwise I'd face the judgement sooner or one day when I die. So in conclusion younger people should not listen to secular music at all cost. You can't go far away if you don't make any steps towards that route on the first place.. Don't be immune to the point that you reject the conviction of the Holy Spirit because you'll go nowhere and eventually afterlife is waiting on the other side. Much is given much is required. Preserve anything that you have, so when the times come you'll be found.
Wow, this is powerful. When I first came into Christ, I was only listening to secular music during my workouts. About a month ago the Lord convicted me about it and a video popped up on my RUclips and a rapper openly discussed the use of familiar spirits. After that, I couldn’t unsee that video… it’s only been a month but I completely stopped listening to secular music. Guard your gates children of God! 🙏🏼
Secular music influences just like Christian music does. It stirs up something on the inside rather good nor bad, and eventually, you respond if you listen to the music long enough. Words have power.
🙏🏾🕊️🤍 I really needed to listen to this. 🥺🤙 Now i understand. Thank you Pastor Vlad for your spiritual guidance. 🙏🏾🥰 God bless & keep you all safe.🙏🏾🤍🕊️
I don't listen to songs which contain any of what you spoke, but I often listen to songs which relaxes my mind after a boring day of school.Those songs I listen do not contain any kind of bad words, and the singer I listen to is a good person, one of the most humble celebrities I listen to worship songs also. The last time I used a bad word was when I was 4. By the grace of Jesus I started reading the Bible when I was 13 and completed the entire book once, now I reading it the second time, reached 2 Corinthians chapter 12. My favourite book in the Bible is Revelation
(At second 0:26, I misspoke and referenced Psalm 105 instead of the correct reference Psalm 150)
I used to attend a cult hiding behind the name church but what surprises me is we used to sing gospel worship songs and the so called ‘holy spirit’ would begin to manifest.
Thanks for sharing. Can relate as evidenced by the following sentences delineating how we use music to stir up faith, and to deal with spiritual attacks. The negative influences of this world are designed to make our heart sick through emotional & physical pain resulting in a given person turning to music as one source of comfort to the body. The painful realty of this existence gives rise to the birth of music in two forms, earthly & HEAVENLY. Earthly music speaks to the experiences of this world through the singer-song writer’s eyes. Oftentimes drug use (i.e. alcohol, smokes, marijuana, cocaine, opioids, benzos and propofol to name a few) is intertwined with the survival of an artist to deal with the pressure of performing in order to stay relevant in the music industry, and to serve as fuel for creativity. As a result, music celebrities develop a tendency to sin against their body, through excessive drug use, for not measuring up to or to satisfy the demands of their music. Any earthly joy they experience is darkened by the heavy burden of performing and the loss of privacy.
The end users of their music become fans because the lyrics are relatable and the sound of the singer’s voice & rhythm helps them cope with the pains of this reality. Unfortunately, this band aid approach is only a time out from the hurt and in the meantime we are fortifying its wall with painful memories waiting in line. Who can save us from wounds that are silent, wordless and cruel all the while tearing us apart inch by inch on the inside, which could radically accelerate the demise of the human body? I will use caps as emphasis to show the honest reverence for GOD'S SOVEREIGNTY when writing about HEAVENLY music in the paragraphs below.
That INVINCIBLE DIVINE be our HEAVENLY FATHER, WHO THROUGH HIS SON’S MISSION HAS INSPIRED believers to write songs that sing of HIS LIFE GIVING LOVE to deal with emotional & physical pain, economic instability, mortality and the emotional instability of others with the motive of winning over souls for HIS KINGDOM. The melody & theme of HEAVENLY music is hateful and intolerable to the devil, a spirit which causes us to be blinded of the effects of sin and is responsible for the woes of this world such as melancholy, anguish, tribulation and trial. These agitations of the soul create a heavy burden for the lost and could lead him or her to be hostile of songs that sing about GOD’S GLORY. This makes it clear that we cannot win the spiritual battle by our own strength. Moreover, on earth the devil has no equal.
GOD has provided us with the ONE WHO CAN AND WILL LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt from a given sinner's heart if he or she (through faith) would open their understanding to Psalms (starting with the focus on Psalms 51:1-10 KJV), and hymns/songs giving praise to HIM for the purpose of being persuaded, converted and healed by the HOLY SPIRIT from within by transforming your body/temple into a meeting place for you and the KING OF THE AGES to commune as friends through the born again experience (repentance manifesting itself in a changed life). It is only here that the fears of tomorrow will diminish, the blessed assurance is given that you are HIS and HE LIVES. Once the blessed assurance is known in prayer (through the confession of wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, combine with admitting that JESUS CHRIST is LORD and believing in one’s heart that GOD raised HIM from the dead to deliver us from sin's guilt) the world can never take it away because the world didn’t give it to you.

What if my job plays cellular music? I work at a dealership and they always plays secular music.
Thank you brother! God bless you and To God be the glory!!!
Never thought I could stop listening to secular music. But I did 2 years ago. Guess what? The world didn't stop and I didn't die of boredom. I fill my heart with worship songs and even when I am silent; my heart still sings praises to God. What we sing or listen to plays in our spirit for days.
Hi ,beautiful test. Iron sharpens iron .
Congratulations 👏🥳 it's not easy...how did you do it..... kindly recommend some songs
@@kathrynzulu6222 I look for songs that have scripture in them, songs that glorify God( Don Moen, Nathaniel Bassey, Bob Fits etc.) Allow the holy spirit to guard you. Don't treat gospel song like pop music, cos there are a lot of popular gospel musicians out there whose songs also glorifies self-worshipping. The songs have to be scriptural.
@janet3313
Hi Janet, good advice.
@janet3313 please listen to Dunsin Oyekan he is a Nigerian gospel worshipper same Nathaniel Bassey
What I always appreciate about Pastor Vlad is that he does his best not to stray away from exactly what the Bible says.
facts
*AMEN 🙌🏻🙏🏼*
Amen indeed that is super important!
Amen

“You can’t be anointed if you are contaminated!” Very powerful line!
Um yes you can
“Matthew 19:26
The phrase "through God anything is possible" is based on the biblical verse Matthew 19:26, where Jesus says, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible””
He is lying doesn’t know he is
We all can be contaminated in one way or another. This statement is false, unbiblical!
@@skannerz22fun fact, you can't redeem something that was made with the intentions of demonic practice. The only person who changes things from their original purpose is SATAN. God never used witchcraft to help anyone, hesimply redeemed the person who did such practices by taking them AWAY from witchcraft.
Stop trying to defend sin.
We all can’t be perfectly right but u get anointed out of contamination lol that’s the point
This was so convicting. I am a teenager of today, and I grew up with Eminem, Melanie Martinez, and Halsey. Only lately have I been considering that this music is anti-Christianity. But I ignored that feeling, because I liked that music. Now, though, the conviction is so real. I thank God for opening my eyes.
Eminem is divided. He has true songs of worship like 'When im gone'. Its a song of 'lament' as mentioned in this video, but he truly express his love and worries for his daughter. The person he loves the most. Thats a powerful worship. Further Em states in the song:
'And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm lookin' down on you smilin'
'And when im gone...Im looking down on you smiling' implies he thinks he goes to heaven or wants to go to heaven to look down on his smiling daughter.
Then 'lose yourself' has curse words, and stuff like 'when the souls is leaving from a portal he created' not just pure lyrics. But he also says he there is a lonley road, god only knows'...
Like i said, eminem being divided. Same goes for 2pac, which has clear references to the bible like 'gettho gospel' which is also a lamenting song from a christian perspective, that 'wants to end the bloodbath' but cant. Its like a prayer praying for god to give him strengh to overcome his sins. And only god can judge me is a call to people in sin thinking they are better than him.
I wouldnt say that Eminem is Anti Christian per se, although he has influences like that. I'd say he's a lukewarm christian, but with some good songs!
I wish I was more careful what I listen to when I was younger. Eventually I started acting out those sins and going down the wrong path. But now I have to clean up my mess. But the difference is that I know that I have the Lord to help me and that I don't have to do it alone. I had a dysfunctional family and childhood. I can't control what happened in the past but I can control what happens in the present and what I control in the present will determine my future! I am not saying that it is going to be an easy road because we all have things we need to work on and we all have shortcomings but with the Lord, anything is Possible! Better young or late than never!

Should that then mean i should throw the religion or this universe into the bib because i doubt they know what they think they know
@piemanrocksyea maybe just try to position your heart differently..pastor Vlad was not referring to the Word of God but worldly things. Spiritual growth since we are ultimately Spirit 1st.. if i were to assume you have not just read but eaten the Words of the KJV of the Bible cover to cover.... can you honestly say you have not grown in spirit and truth?

Why didn’t they masturbate instead?
It’s about morality
In the past I would've laughed and mocked this idea. Recently God has strongly convicted me about ungodly music. So finally, I began to obey. And now "coincidentally" all of the most demonic and evil songs by Taylor Swift, Doja Cat, and other artists I used to like, are getting stuck in my head WAAAYY more often. I get this urge to listen to these songs when they were never even my favorites, some little voice saying "just play it once". It sounds so dramatic but it's literally like a drug. And it happens SPECIFICALLY with songs with the most anti-biblical lyrics??? Nahhhh bro. Idk exactly HOW this music afflicts us but this is way too demonic and suspicious for me to ever go back. I'm going to flee from these songs and artists from here on out. I have a son coming this fall; I have to protect his precious ears and spirit.
Music seems to be the easiest thing for Satan to manipulate.
It happens to me too
I never listened to most mainstream music. But anime music is something I can’t stop remembering, mostly because of a Lot’s wife mindset. Anime songs like Kachi Daze from Dragon Ball Super and Crossing Fields from Sword Art Online have been going through my head in the last week.
@@ChrystianSong
Hi Chrystian, I see it as you are following after Christ and demons are doing their evil schemes.
In Ephesians, I think 6, it teaches about spiritual warfare. Having done all to stand, continue standing and the demon will flee from you. It is quite troubling at first, wondering why it keeps at you to do it. You are in a place of spiritual growth. You pass the test of your faith as you remain faithful and endure.
@@ChrystianSong I feel you on this one. I too was once into anime songs such as Crossing Fields. But you must remember the following: the ONLY reason you like that song is because of the anime, which is filled with demonic imagery and repetitive sexualizing for the most part. When we think about it this way, we are able to see that it isn’t “just a song” but rather Satan baiting us to sin against our God. This mindset helps us to resist more quickly.
I can personally testify to this:
Going to Chris Brown's 'Under the influence' concert was a real wake-up call for me...from the triangle or hand with the eye in the middle to depictions of egyptian gods and robots with red eyes saying 'you're now under my influence'..it had it all as background visuals, while he sung, along with hypnotizing colorful imagery.
As a christian, who is actually spirtually aware of these things of the music industry, I willingly subjected myself to that, in the name of 'oh, he's just an artist I've liked since i was a kid, what's the biggie?'
Well, the biggie was that night, i had the most intense and frightening spiritual warfare of my life!! An invisible, powerful and negative force was keeping me down, I couldn't move an inch, total paralysis!
Yet i knew to call for Jesus, even though it looked like a nightmare, my conciousness was fully there and operating. And a calm voice from the force said 'This time he's not coming'..and let me tell you i panicked so hard and spoke out every piece of scripture i knew, like my life depended on it, before i was eventually released against a lot of resistance, to the point where it felt like they were drowning me, so i couldn't speak His name anymore!😢
But yeah...since then I've been taking the spiritual world VERY seriously along with what i expose my gates to! I definitely don't want to go through that again, because it just shows you, how helpless you are, since you can't move and there literally is no other weapon to fight them with but The Word and His name...JESUS!
Omg I used to be in love with Chris brown girl tattoo of him I went to that concert and felt off about that to my number 1 god is god now not Chris brown
Chris Brown is the hardest artist for me to let go of. I've always loved his music. It pains me to remove his music from my Spotify.
@@samanderson1650 Same, bro, same.. I started seeing dance videos from that one song 'Angel numbers' from his new album..and said, okay I want to check out the music video...and he's blatantly opening his chakras in that MV as a Jezebel spirit comes out of a lake..and I was like...nope 👀...I'm outta here!
Amen 🙌 Jesus❤ The name above any other name ❤
I totally agree. I used to listen to a few songs on his "Under the Influence" album. Every time the cover came on the tv, my dog would bark at it. I didn't understand why at the time, but those are demonic spirits and I guess even animals can feel those at times. Definitely nothing to play with at all.
Jesus told me to stop listening to non-Christian music at least a year ago. He led me through a prayer of repentance for listening to secular music & then I got delivered from at least 1 evil spirit if not more as I felt this negative ball of energy leave the center of my chest & instantly I felt a TON better overall... i was like WOW I didn't even know I was struggling like that with not feeling as well from an evil spirit until He cast it out of me. I'm soooo thankful to Jesus!!! ❤🎉 Hallelujah, Lord. There is plenty of great Christian music out there to replace it with! Jesus made sure of that for His people😊
😂

I haven't listened to any secular music for 4 years now. But I'm still careful what i listen to christian music also. It helps me with my walk with Jesus.
And that is what matters most at the end of the day. Our relationship with Christ.

Dark, unclean or lustful music can draw demons to enter inside of us or follow us daily. Great teaching Pastor Vlad
Can't draw in what does exist, stop spreading fake news
nope. romans 8:38-39, "For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord."
demons are angels, dude. if angels are able to indwell you, then you are not in the love of God in Christ Jesus.
matthew 12:43-45, "When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation.”
basically, demons enter people who blaspheme against the holy spirit (mentioned earlier in matt 12).
@@_ben_miller The demons are dark angels and actually the ruler is a demon or power. Blaspheming the Holy Spirit isn't the only action that will cause a Christian to have a demon. Demons can enter through sex between two people!

When I made the decision to start back reading God’s word and talking to God, my spirit was uplifted. I made the decision to be careful of what I listen to and watch. I haven’t had the feeling of depression, anxiety, fear, and doubt since I decided to stay in the presence of God. God gives me perfect peace and I am so thankful!
Gospel music helped cast out some of my demons!!!Music is very powerful.
Left my ex-husband 18 years ago. Over the years he was listening to worse music all the time. And he was bringing home movies that he would watch after i went to bed. Horror movies. Pornographic movies. Many with odd music i could hear from the bedroom. And he was becoming more and abrasive and abusive over the years. But he could not see it. When i would look in his backpack, and see what kind of movies he was bringing home, i would beg him not to bring such things thru the door. He didnt care. Eventually i had to leave him. Because he would not even open up to his abuse in a counselors office. He could not go to church and understand how his life was so far removed from the life of Christ. He became a liar. And abused our son on a visit with him. He stole $ from one of my investments before i got my hands on it. So do i believe that certain kinds of music can ruin ones life !?!? Yes indeed
I’m sorry for your struggle, in hindsight I know that buying into rebellious music and smut has done so much damage in my life and possibly ended it earlier than need be.

Hmmm these are the little foxes that destroys the vineyard.
Sometimes we think these things does not matter. But the truth is they go a long way than we can ever imagine.
We are to guard our hearts with all diligent, cos out of it flows the issues of Life.
You're making the correlation-causality mistake here. There is a correlation between your Ex-husbands behaviour, but not necessarily a causality. There are so many other things that can possibly influence someones character, and probably he always had these traits in him, so blaiming it just on some music he listened to is fairly inaccurate.
@@m.f.5739 We can't really say tho.
But the Truth of the matter is music is beyond entertainment. It's affects the mind.
If David could play songs for king Saul and the demons In Him would leave, definitely there are songs that invites demons into one's Life.

DEAR TAKE THE BOLD STEP AND DELETE ALL THE SECULAR MUSIC ON YOUR PHONE, PLAY THE GOSPEL SONGS UNTIL YOU FIND JOY IN THEM.
I find it hard to believe that people can this petty, yet call themselves enlightened.
I have known about the darkness of music since 2009. Secular music has been on and off for me because I grew up in a musical household. I also use to throw parties from middle school to college and help DJ so God really had to do a work in me of letting go of memories and emotions which are attached to music as well. I notice now every time I am down that's when i get the urge to listen to something nostalgic and i put on something Christian instead. Music has many spirits that are not of God and can hinder your walk.
I’ve been struggling with this topic of secular music in my own life and the Holy Spirit just answered my questions, doubts and concerns regarding this manner. Thank you Pastor Vlad for being a vessel of God and preaching his word and truth. This channel and your ministry is a blessing for me. God continue to bless this channel and ministry in Jesus name, Amen.
I absolutely agree pastor. I love EDM and a lot of non-vocal electronic music, but I’ve been seeing a trend growing for the past couple years where the music that used to be described by many as uplifting, is now growing darker. Many of the musicians are also embracing the transcendence of the human into the artificial machine & AI. Now, many of the artists I used to love are creating music that fills me with negative thoughts. It’s clearly the tentacles of evil slowly consuming another area of access to us believers. Every time I see another musician go dark I stop following. It breaks my heart, but I don’t need more darkness in this already dark world. Music is incredibly powerful in so many ways that science is just now realizing, just as the Bible has shown us for two thousand years! Thank you for shining a light of this!!!

@@melissagonzalez2474 who are they?!? I’m not surprised that there is, and I’ve found a couple who are devout Christians, but I’m always looking for new artists.
I had a former Pastor who has now gone on to Glory. He testified of an experience he had as a backslider, of him playing music and singing in a bar one night. He said that he had an overpowering spirit come over him that was similar to the anointing, only opposite of the Holy Spirit that he had felt before he backslid. He realized that was an evil spirit and that he didn’t want anything to do with it. Praise the Lord he came back to God and became an awesome, anointed preacher, and singer for the Lord. He was my pastor as s young teenager and was instrumental in my spiritual growth and development as a young Christian. That’s been 40 years ago. Your message is right on target pastor. Thank you so much
There is no such thing as back sliding
Every choice was created by god
every choice leads to god
Anyone who judges or talks shit claiming it does not is a liar or being lead by someone lying
Masturbation protects against suicide
Sex drugs and cocaine protected a guy from suicide and suicide is the worst sin yet the others are supposably falsely being judged in the spirit realm as sins yet these lying spirits contradict themself by being unable or unwilling to see it and yet falsely claim they are better than you while judging you yet have never lived your life even posessing you
Every choice leads to god
Because everything is possible with god
You just need to be smart and read what jesus said to do😂
Evil spirits usually unguided and uncommanded posessing people try destroying relationships or make you sick or try making you poor
And it is very consistant what they do because they themself don’t know what to do untill you tell them what to do by having bible command them what to do
Go see tb joshua church and see what they say themself when being exorcised out of people
One time i was attacked by demons in the spirit realm while i was dead because they tricked me and i managed to convince them to create a heaven in their madness and then i abandoned it and went to the real heaven when i managed to have time to ask for someone to rescue me
A different time different evil demons were torturing me and i managed to convince them to start up robot fighting ring on earth and they all abandoned the hell and took me and everyone to earth to do it
all they are taught to do is torture people they do not know what they are doing they know they are doing it for entertainment but don’t see what else to do
Go read what jesus said
And you see the reason why people go to bars
This is something that i struggle with and wow perfect timing 😭

What type of Christian artists are on your playlists? I like the old school Christian music like Keith Green, Twila Paris, and old Southern Gospel like the Inspirations and Gold City. I also listen to some newer Christian music like Charity Gale, Chris Tomlin, David Phelps, Big Daddy Weave, etc. I do still listen to some secular oldies music though like Jackie Wilson, Ann Murray, the Staples, the Commodores, etc. I think it is what you think about when you listen to the music that makes the difference. “Your Love Keeps Lifting me Higher” by Jackie Wilson always makes me think of God and is such an uplifting tune!
@jillmartin123 I listen to Jason Upton, Josh Garrels, Jackie Hill Perry, Bryann Trejo, William Cata, Marcus Rogers, Marv, H.U.R.T, Von Won etc.
I don't listen to the radio often, i use to and i used to get hooked on music about being different mentally & emotionally. So, it influenced my low self esteem in me. Now, with this, understanding, we have to be so careful who we listen to. Thank you for this knowledge.

Wow! So true! My thoughts are: this is absolutely correct! I’ve realized over the years that this world IS the enemy’s playground and we must be attentive and prepared to be strong in our Faith to know what is right and what is wrong. The gift of discernment. It is important to delete music on our playlist, unsubscribe to worldly artists, unfollow IG people who are not of God. I did that and I’m so glad I did! God bless you, Sir and keep doing the work of God through RUclips. Take care!
I've never liked the swear songs and never have listened to it ever. Have to turn it off. My driving and my temperament changed drastically when listening to certain types of music. So, I decided to start to listen to jazz to calm me down when driving and it worked. Now, my music tendency is gospel at 99.9% until my husband turns the radio to another station.
My husband on the other hand hates my gospel music, but I am praying that one day Christ Jesus will touch his heart when my gospel music is played in the car, kitchen, dining room or anywhere in the house. God works in mysterious ways and I have faith that He will make this happen.
Thank you Vlad for all your teachings.
All in Christ Jesus Stay Forever Blessed.
Christians and secular music is a no period .. if it doesn’t glorify God it glorifies someone else .. take this from someone who loved 90s music and R&B .. the more I began to draw closer to God every time I sang those songs I feel terrible in my spirit
And then attacks I used to have start coming upon me again .. this is a big struggle for me and for others but I said I’m not going back to those songs ..
they put ideas in your head , you sing curses that you don’t even know you are singing and all types of wicked things
Yes!!!!! YES!!!! YES!!!!!!!! EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAID!!!!!! You sing curses over yourself! Thats so true i forgot that part in my other comment. And secular music is sad and depressing mostly. Usually the love songs are from broken hearts and people being sorry and sorry is all the can sing. It irritates me where i can attack a radio if i cant change station quickly enough. Other songs are filled with rebellion and other with lust and suicide etc. Especially rock and metal.
wow I never thought about it as singing curses! what a good point
What about songs of love 90s r&b?
@@D.ocument.The.Journey- As long as the lyrics are not about exploitation of women and sex etc. I personally like old school love songs from the late 70's to 80's, but only on special occasions.
Never could get into R&B but I do love my classic rock. Grew up on it in the 90s lol. Billy Idol, Metallica, Guns 'N Roses, Iron Maiden, Bon Jovi, Judas Priest, Megadeth, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, tons of old school rock.
I promise, every time I watch a video of yours Pastor Vlad, it feels like this is a special message JUST for me. Like God wanted me to hear this message and gain clarity. A few months ago, I felt led to delete ALLLLL the music from my Apple Music account that was not Gospel music. I wanted to fight against it but the feeling to delete it was too strong so I had to be obedient. I’ve felt better ever since. I play my gospel music exclusively and I jam out to it, cry and worship while I’m driving and my 11 year old loves it. I’m trying to be a good example for him and I’m grateful that God is giving me grace in this season of my life while I clean out the trash. Thank you for this video. God bless you 🙏🏿
REPENT, FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND.
Lord Jesus✝️have mercy on you🙏
There's a reason why I stopped being a swiftie. Now worship music is all I got, and I'm so thankful for Jesus Christ for changing me. Long live the messiah.
"And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord"

How much Gods word you sell over the years Vlad? asking for a friend. Does it bother you that you accept money from people with much less? even poor widows. How many millions do you have stashed away? And why do you need millions of dollars?
I'm thankful God made that clear to me when I gave my life to Him in 2013, I have not even desire for that kind of music. He completely washed that off me by His blood. I cleaned out everything by His grace. Thank You Jesus.
They can perform but not break a yoke🔥...God continually show his mercy on us all🙏 thank you so much Pst Vlad❤
I thank God for this message. The strange thing is that just last week there was this battle in me to listen to worldly music and I almost lost the battle. Thank God, in the end, I decided not to listen to that music and instead, I started writing in my journal about what God is doing in my life. A few days after that, my husband had a dream that he was cleaning his ears and they were very dirty. He said that he interprets the dream to mean that he needs to be careful what he listens to. It's so strange that after all that, I come across this video about secular music. Thank you Jesus.
Amen I agree 🙏💯
I also have a RUclips channel if you want to see more Christian videos
Same thing happen to me I was watching this series on nextflix called "obliterated" and it was nothing but debauchery! There was lesbian and gay acts along with excessive drug and alcohol use the part made me stop watching was the unfiltered sex scene that didn't hold anything back! Even my non Christian friend said "I don't think God would want you watching this" then when I decided to turn it off and ask for forgiveness after seeing it
You are absolutely right pastor..you explained well about how to discern music with the word's from Bible.. 🙏🏼I have been listening to nothing but worship songs for almost three years and the joy it brings is something beyond my word's..Thank you pastor for saying the truth.. You are a true vessel of God.. God bless you abundantly ❤❤
Hello, I recently found this video and I'm convinced of everything that pastor Vlad has spoken of throughout. I read your comment and I wanted to ask if there is any specific artist(s) or songs that you could recommend to me. Believe it or not but I've been struggling with the urge to listen to secular music that I've grown up with. A lot of my life is influenced by the music I've listened to and I really want to break free from the ties I've made to them. I need some help if you could please 🙏
Terrian- artist , Imrsqd- artist , Angie Rose - OH YHWH song , Love like that- hulvey song , Heaven Up above- Hulvey song @@a1treb33
Thank you for speaking on this subject! 👏💪
Music is such an important part of mosts peoples lives! 🥳 And plays a large part of our influences!
Let us all pray we keep our ears and spirit in guide with the Lord such as what is brought out in
Philippians 4:8 🙏❤️
Wow what a confirmation just heard preacher preaching about the same things and saying be careful what you let in your eargate. Amen!
Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. I trust in God and keep faith even as I struggle to take care of my children and myself. As a single mother things are so hard on me. Both of my sons are autistic I’m overwhelmed. God please hear my prayers. I’m constantly struggling to buy groceries and constantly struggling to pay rent I’m ashamed and overwhelmed. But I choose to have faith over fear as christians that’s all we can do. No matter your struggle, you can turn to God. He knows us personally and can give us strength to overcome our challenges. Heavenly and merciful Father, I come before your glorious throne today, in humble adoration please help me overcome my struggles and my constant fear of homelessness. You have provided this far and I’m so grateful for your love and mercy. I will continue to walk with faith! And not by sight!❤

Thank you for this word Ps. Vlad! My emotion had been wrecked by music! I dont let any song that doesn't have life in it to enter in anymore! Secular or 'Christian'.
It's all about what is in the soul. Either anointing or darkness. Keep your soul CLEAN and GUARD IT!! 😊.

Yahweh created darkness though…
I was there watching from below when he made darkness as an energy form
And i created a sibling for him equal to his power level at the time which is made of darkness since he loved it so much more than light when he was claiming to be the light yet played in darkness more than light which was the whole parody of the situation that started the supernatural amara to exist
I was making a sibling for him originally i was trying to make someone as powerful as my self but i repurposed her to be his sibling because i had been too powerful so i tried again with other girls later on
And bible says yahweh is christians god
I write songs for people who believe. I am also human, so I write about my human experiences (aka mistakes), but through the lens of someone who knows God.
peace.
edit: what you mentioned about Beyoncé was 100% accurate. Whenever I get nervous about performing live, I PUT ON THE ROBES OF CHRIST.
Yea beyonce went down hill
Great teaching. What most people don't know is that when it comes to music, the origin is important. It's not about the beat or the lyrics. It's the origin.
The timing is miraculous: just in the past few days I've deleted about 60% of my music library, and this video has given me the push to keep going & be more discerning, thank you so much!!^-^
Same
Praise Lord Jesus
I agree 100 percent with your teaching 🙌 Thank you JESUS for your Word and Truth ❤
Such an incredible teaching! So wise!!!
I also use Philippians 4:8 as a guide on what songs I listen to. So awesome to know I was on the right track. Though I’ve been struggling to let go of secular music, I decided not so long ago to let go of music that doesn’t glorify God or fall in the guide I use from Philipians 4:8. I wouldn’t say it’s hard but what I was struggling was letting go of those beautiful sounding beats. But I made a decision to choose God and not the enemy. So I use that now to help me overcome. I got tempted… but even if I give in, my conscience wouldn’t allow me to enjoy the music especially knowing what I know now and that in the moment I made a choice against God’s will for my life. So yeah… Choose God and use Philipians 4:8 as a guide❤️. Much love and support from South Africa☺️🇿🇦.
Amen brother
When I got saved I had to give up worldly music. It took awhile but it was worth it. My spirit was not filled with mixture. The little foxes that spoil the vine. 1❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥

This applies to movies (what we watch) as well. There's this movie on Netflix that I really wanted to watch because I heard it had a really good story line and yesterday I started watching it and I just felt uncomfortable in my spirit. I stopped watching it but then I was still contemplating whether I should watch it or not because I really wanted to know what it was about. I decided not to rush and watch it then this video popped up today. I won't be finishing the movie because of how I felt in my spirit and the fact that from the first few scenes, it seems to be portraying some form of sexual perversion. The name of the movie is "Her".
Great point. Glad you brought this up. A movie I recently saw that I wish I didn't was The Northman. Basically heavy pagan content, and the background music had lots of old Nordic chant from the medieval times that left me uncomfortable. I watched it because I enjoyed most of the main cast but i should've stopped right away. The constant chanting and pagan rituals felt demonic plus the violence that involved body mutilation made for a heavy watch. The director also made The Witch which I didn't see but it has satanism everywhere from the reviews I read.
@@itsjazzyjules yeah that sounds really messed up. How did you feel after you watched it? Do you feel like it affected you in any way? Its sad but its actually hard to find movies that don't contain some form of perversion or falsehood.
@@rajivlewis5895 It just felt dark and demonic but I was able to pray afterwards to get the chants out of my mind, since the chanting happened right when the film started and all the way through. I agree with you it seems like the more violent a movie/TV show gets, the more viewers would tune in. But I notice there are secular movies that still holds Christian values and/or uplift the good, like The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Narnia movies, The Lion King, superhero films that don't glorify non-biblical values in their plot. These are the types my fellow believer friends still watch. We can also watch and find what is wrong with certain scenes and share with others.
@@rajivlewis5895 something i feel sometimes is this terrible gut wrenching feeling this feeling of where it’s feel terrible in your soul
@@rajivlewis5895 and @itsjazzyjules I believe that there are people on whose hearts God has laid it to remedy the lack of safe quality content to watch for Christians. There is the Chosen Series, there is the Winlos, there is Mount Zion Movies, there is Pure Flix. There are definitely dozens more that need the right encouragement and finances to go through. I think it's something worth praying about and supporting whenever the opportunity arises.
Since the time the Holy Spirit leads me to Pastor Vlad, I follow his teachings/preachings because they are very inspiring and spirit uplifting. Thanks God and praise God upon his life. .
Thank you so much. I really needed to hear this. The main purpose of music is to worship God and the other purpose is refreshment and relaxation among others. I need to be careful when relaxing and refreshing to not feed the carnal man and to not listen to music that invites evil spirits into my life.
When I first gave my life to Christ my phone randomly broke and my boyfriend (now husband) gave me a random phone he had. The phone he gave me had a music streaming software. I initially typed in gospel music and the software had a great playlist. That drew me closer to God. After prayer, God revealed that my phone was broken for that reason. I didn’t realize how much of the music I listened to was damaging to my walk with Him. I was tempted to listen to music every now and then, but I didn’t like what it did to me. I felt like it gave me the wrong thoughts and didn’t make me feel like I saw myself how God saw me, especially because a lot of that music degraded women. Lastly, I enjoyed the last Beyonce album. Her lyrics weren’t bad but I left feeling convicted. Because of her covenants with demonic spirits, listening to her music is like communing with the demons she has made covenants with. I had to sacrifice that, I’d rather be close to God then pick up things that draw me from Him and undo the progress made in my life.
Share God’s light by sharing the songs of those of us independent songwriters who believe in God. We need you.
peace
How did “god” reveal to you something?
Beyonce is a bad girl
Thank you so much for this video man of God! I had to learn the hard way some “Christian” music isn’t from God, nor are the singers trying to give God the glory. This video is bold and very on time. God bless you!
Vlad. I'm a songwriter struggling to write a LOT of different songs. I follow you regularly and I just finished this video. Took a lot of notes. You really helped enlighten me and inspired me. Thanx so much for this. Had quite a big impact on me. God Bless and protect your ministry. And your family. And you. Much Love. Barton Knight. 🤠
Thank you for posting. I stopped secular music over 2 years ago but someimes still struggle (especially when I workout as I enjoyed the secular songs that would get me pumped up). I am restraining my urge to listen. Please keep exposing entertainment.

Same I just recently deleted a lot of music playlists and I'm cool with it but when I work out that's when I actually miss it
@@MissMcD Thanks for your support. Yes when I workout I miss all that high energy, high power music and back then I didn't care what the song was as long as it sounded good. I used to listen to everything like Beyonce, Prince Madonna, Disco, DJ Tiesto, Martin Garrix really anything high power. I even liked this one songe from Imagine Dragons called Thunder (absolutely loved that song but I read the lyrics now and see none of it glorifies the Lord). God bless you in all your journeys in life..
A Profound Word!! Glory to God❤ May God use you more and more to the ends of the Earth!!! Sending love from India ❤
Secular music has been and still is one of the biggest battles of my walk that I’m currently facing-
it controls my thoughts! And GOD has revealed to me It places me in “altered state of consciousness” it causes me to “trance out” and disassociate
I’ve been trying to over come this for a couple of years now and god has freed me many times only I keep returning like a dog returning to its vomit.
After doing studies and lots of research on music we listen to today especially modern pop and hip hop the “beat” can be as addictive as cocaine. It hits the same Endorphins in the brain as a class A drug. I definitely know this is an addiction in my life and every day is a struggle.
I also heard that these pop stars that worship Baal have also cast spells on there music lyrics. They also speak through back masking.
Right I’ve been in altered states listening to slowed down versions of songs especially playboi carti slowed for 2 hours straight
I remember the backmasking trend as a teen where the songs played backwards revealed scary messages
This was exactly the same thought I had tonight..non gospel music can be very disturbing and lead you into sin...
I remember in early 90s I used to like listening to country music and romantic music when I was advised that best option not to listen to them brought this apprehensiveness in me and thought what was wrong with that but then the Holy Spirit enlightened me and today I am a great advocate to tell people to be careful to what they watch and listen to. Thank you Pastor Vlad, may your cup overflow and run over.
Thank you so much for this video pastor Vlad I was still struggle asking the Lord if I can make secular music that's pure but there was this deep conviction which pulled me to not making it and wait patiently for an answer. May God bless you🧡
You are a blessing to this generation 🙌
Thank you!!

I have completely left secular music and listen to worship songs that exalt Jesus Christ. My daughter and I sing worship songs together while I’m driving and we’re in the car, just me, her and Jesus 🥰♥️♥️♥️ It’s the most beautiful thing when I see her feel the music the way I do and hear her lovely little voice sing beautiful songs about Jesus 🥰♥️🥰🥰
God bless you Pastor Vald! You always explain the Bible that males it clear to me. God bless you!!!!
One of the first things God convicted me of as a Christian was secular music. I remember how hard it was at 16 getting rid of those CDs full of rap and pop music! Now it sounds like trash to me, I’m not even tempted at all.
NF ❤
How did you get “convicted” explain the full story
Pastor Vlad, thank you SO MUCH for this teaching. I have been saying the same things for years to my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ in my church but my words have fallen on deaf ears for the most part. I agree with that the creator and the lyrics need to be concidered BEFORE consuming. Blessings
Love listening to Pastor Vlad. More grace to you
I recently got convicted about the dangers of listening to secular music, after understanding that I'm body, soul and spirit and realizing that as I'm listening to these ungodly songs I am actually downloading these lyrics to my soul , through my thoughts and as I sing and speak , that I am actually sowing and setting into motion curses through my spoken words, I began googling every songs lyrics before I play the song and it is so bizarre what you find when you do that. Thank you for giving us this insight and scripture references, lol the artist you mentioned was the first to mind as well. Keep advancing the Gospel ❤
Almost a year ago I chose to change the music I thought I loved, shortly after that I realized the absolute truth of Proverbs 18:21 & the curses I was putting on & in my life. Just a hand full of months back my husband noticed a change & wanted it too. Our music is 💯 different then it was before & life is getting better every day… regardless of the situation & circumstances. Thank you for this message Pastor Vlad! God bless you! 🔥🔥🔥
This was so good, a great breakdown and understanding of how we should be relating to music, thank you ❤
How much Gods word you sell over the years Vlad? asking for a friend. Does it bother you that you accept money from people with much less? even poor widows. How many millions do you have stashed away? And why do you need millions of dollars?
The music I listened to and the movies/tv shows I watched were the very first things to go when I was born again! I immediately felt an overwhelming conviction about them & had no desire for them. 12 years later it still grieves my heart anytime I hear or see anything ungodly. At first when I was seeking God I didn't care for Christian music at all, but I kept listening to it and finally I prayed about it and asked God to help me love Christian music. He came through 💯! Now I'm trying to teach my children about these things. It's hard because everywhere you go they're playing ungodly music and advertising the secular music artists. Thank you for making this video, I will have my children listen to it.
Praise God for your testimony brother!
On point! Confirmation to my revelation! Thank you!
Thankyou so much for constantly preaching Truth, Pastor. This brought so much conviction to me. 🔥🔥🔥

Looking forward to this video. I was a songwriting major so I enjoy writing music, and I want to stay on God's side with everything that I do, including the music I listen to. Recently I did a cleanup of the secular music that directly speak against God. Like a few comments I have seen, I would like your perspective on other genres like jazz, indie folk and more. From what I understand, it's more about the lyrics than the genre. Do they glorify God or do they contradict what is written in the Bible. There are musicians who are considered mainstream but openly and regularly speak about their faith and even make albums for the Lord like Carrie Underwood and Tori Kelly. But I have read comments saying that the ones who are at the very top.. their labels put spells on their physical records so they sell out. They're the ones whose fans are highly obsessed they would pay thousands to go to their shows. New age is also becoming a big part of pop culture now with people playing with tarot cards, astrology and divination that are portals to the demonic realm. The devil knows how to get to people through music easily because he was a choir director back then, and we need God's guidance always. Like the Bible states, what is right is considered wrong in today's time, and what is wrong is being viewed as right, and not supporting it can result in getting cancelled or publicly shamed.
God bless you and use you for his kingdom 😇
We look forward to your writing powerful and touching lyrics.
Jazz and indie is fine because it is put inside of a genre as is all music. what's inside of the genre (all of the artists and purposes) is important.
You should try listening to Christian jazz or Christian indie folk its easily accessible on RUclips.
Even then use discernment because not all Christians are actually who they are but you will know them by their fruits (actions). Hope this helps!
Hi, the Holy Spirit will give you the words .Ignore other music and just be true to your desire to please God .I think praying for the Holy Spirit to give you the heart for souls to be drawn to God thru your lyrics and the music. Take time, don't rush. You want to be sure it is pleasing to God.
The New Age and Occult are very much practiced by A LOT, if not most of the Christian artists today also. It's just not in the mainstream. Labeling music as "Christian" does not mean anything at all, whatever they sing about. Music is a topic where it's on a person's conviction and conscience. But of course we stay away from what's very obviously "evil" in appearance and foul in language. Music is just that, a means to glorify God, but there is no inherent virtue.
Thank you for guiding us.
This is what I want to know for a long time. I now know how to worship truly from my heart.
As I am a seminary in the Philippines, I used to listen to secular songs because I wanted to improve my English listening skills and words. I am convinced through this video.
Thank you Holy Spirit and Ps. Vlad Savchuk.
I'm christian from and after listening this i delete all music that on my phone
Me and my family go to a Pentecostal Church in spartanburg south carliona. This Dec will be 2 years. The first song our band played I heard was way maker my middle child immediately got up and started walking in the victory march with the other children obediently it made me feel good it made me cry so the next day I downloaded that song to my RUclips playlist I listen to that song over and over and over again it was a good song to me that are good songs never get old but in return I did not listen to the other music but also what happened one gospel song came in another gospel song came in another gospel song came in and like I said I did not listen to the other music my old music it was two weeks after we started church that I woke up one morning I heard that song in my dreams I woke up and heard it playing as my eyes adjusted I still heard it then it slowly faded away I did not ever listen to that music again I knew what that was that was the devil trying to get in through doors Praise Jesus for all Deliverance
I went back and forth from worship and praise music to secular. Even if it's not a curse, lust or anything brutal music, I kept feeling like I contradict my consciousness. I believe Holy Spirit tried to convict me to go back to where it was, It happens so too many times when I listens to worldly music. I can't keep denying this, otherwise I'd face the judgement sooner or one day when I die. So in conclusion younger people should not listen to secular music at all cost. You can't go far away if you don't make any steps towards that route on the first place.. Don't be immune to the point that you reject the conviction of the Holy Spirit because you'll go nowhere and eventually afterlife is waiting on the other side. Much is given much is required. Preserve anything that you have, so when the times come you'll be found.
what would you recommend for me ?? im more attached to older songs because of the memories it holds & the time period….
Wow, this is powerful. When I first came into Christ, I was only listening to secular music during my workouts. About a month ago the Lord convicted me about it and a video popped up on my RUclips and a rapper openly discussed the use of familiar spirits. After that, I couldn’t unsee that video… it’s only been a month but I completely stopped listening to secular music. Guard your gates children of God! 🙏🏼
What rapper?
@@cakepudding3220 it was Kevin Gates.
Ok i dare you to listen to exorcism songs while doing gym you’re exorcising the demons out of you while exorcising your self….
Go listen to 36 mafia not kevin gates
And go listen to led zeplin stairway to heaven
Amen, totally agree. Thank you very much Ps Vlad for sharing 🙏🏻
Secular music influences just like Christian music does. It stirs up something on the inside rather good nor bad, and eventually, you respond if you listen to the music long enough.
Words have power.
You have articulated exactly what I have been trying to explain to others regarding chanting evil phrases and dancing to spell casting lyrics.
🙏🏾🕊️🤍 I really needed to listen to this. 🥺🤙 Now i understand. Thank you Pastor Vlad for your spiritual guidance. 🙏🏾🥰 God bless & keep you all safe.🙏🏾🤍🕊️
Was longing to find this truth ..God bless you Pastor Vlad
When in doubt, throw it out!
Dont contaminate yourself.
Powerful 20mins video.
When I came back to Christ, I stopped listening to secular music almost immediately. I don't miss it, I don't need it. God bless you all 🙌🏻💖💯
I don't listen to songs which contain any of what you spoke, but I often listen to songs which relaxes my mind after a boring day of school.Those songs I listen do not contain any kind of bad words, and the singer I listen to is a good person, one of the most humble celebrities
I listen to worship songs also. The last time I used a bad word was when I was 4. By the grace of Jesus I started reading the Bible when I was 13 and completed the entire book once, now I reading it the second time, reached 2 Corinthians chapter 12. My favourite book in the Bible is Revelation
Revelation is scary and interesting at the same time
Some of us have become Jehovah Jireh for our flesh. Well put Pastor
What an amazing message. Totally agree.
