Music Ministry Revival part93 Music Ministry Teamwork and the Movement of God Guilt by Association and Honor by Assimilation  Music Ministry Revival is at hand! Music Ministry Revival ismanifest when the gift of the Lord becomes the song of the Lord. Music is a gift from the Lord. The gift of the Lord is among us (Emmanuel). God took on human flesh when Jesus was born. Jesus -- God Himself -- is Immanuel, God With Us! Matthew 4:17 WEY: From that time Jesus began to preach. "Repent," He said, "for the Kingdom of the Heavens is now close at hand." Mark 1:14,15 - Jesus preached: "The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand." Music Ministry Revival is at hand. Music Ministry Revival alters the region that it occurs. No altar- No alter.  Music Ministry Revival changes the time and fellowship of God and humanity-humanity to humanity. Without God, music may become the opiate of the people.    Music without God may enhance your vain imagination. Music can be a mind altering experience. In the 1960s psychedelic music arose; some musicians encouraged and intended listeners of psychedelic music to be under the influence of LSD or other hallucinogenic drugs as enhancements to the listening experience. Jerry Garcia of the rock band Grateful Dead said "For some people, taking LSD and going to Grateful Dead show functions like a rite of passage.... we don't have a product to sell; but we do have a mechanism that works." Music void of the divine reality feeds the human addictive tendency.  Music void of the divine reality alters time and fellowship with God. For many,  the gift of music can become the mistress of our imagination. Eventually, our imagination may be inclined to worship the very music excerpt that your mind created. You can ultimately bow down to your own creation. The music may become a vehicle of self-expression, self  deprecation, totally absorbing and self-fulfilling.  The music absorbs the spirits of the listeners as an altar of idolatry.  Historically, music has tried to provide a spectacle (experience) that rivals God. The spectacle without God provides a time warp. The time warp establishes a time zone, where the listener is one with the gods. Genesis 3 (King James Version) 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. The spectacle has to be large enough and loud enough to alter the time and fellowship of the audience. The tools of the mans' music gift is the Spectacle, Loud volume, Idol worship, Infant Sacrifice. Metaphorically, the modern-day stadium and concerts venues may be the spectacle and forum that enhances ( alters time and fellowship ) our vain imaginations. These are the characteristics of music idolatry. Music idolatry will provide a:    Spectacle. (smack down, NFL Mondays,. Today's' music venues are in stadium sized concert halls. When you're dealing with a stadium, garden, circus (Circus Maximus), amphitheater, hippodrome , bullring, an arena,  you're talking about a spectacle.  Stadium: An enclosed area for the presentation of sports events and spectacles. Garden: Garden provides camouflage and landscaping  for the structures around it. Latin harna, arna, sand, a sand-strewn place of combat in an amphitheater, perhaps of Etruscan origin.] Word History: Fans watching contact sports such as boxing, hockey, or football in modern arenas might be struck by the connection between the word arena and the notion of gladiatorial combat. This word is from Latin harna (also spelled arna), "sand." Harna then came to mean the part of a Roman amphitheater that was covered with sand to absorb the blood spilled by the combatants. Chief of all, Rome herself in the early days of the Empire was not only surrounded by. a circle of flowering gardens and villas, but also within her walls looked like a city of gardens with so many public and private grounds...enclosing the town as in one lovely girdle. From valuable remains, we see how wonderful the place was with its statues and its marbles. Judging by a sanctuary to Hercules that has been dug up, we may guess at an arena for gymnastic games. Increase; work; ministry of the body of Christ collectively; euphoric paradise; fruitfulness; prospering ministry; field of labor; fertile ground. (Gen. 2: 8-10; 4: 2-3; Is. 51: 3; 58: 11; Jer. 2: 21; 1 Tim. 4:14-15) The site of the first Madison Square Garden, now known as Madison Square Garden I, was formerly the passenger depot at 23rd and Madison Avenue of the New York and Harlem Railroad. When the depot was moved to the current site of Grand Central Terminal in 1871 the depot was sold to P.T. Barnum and converted into a hippodrome called "Barnum's Monster Classical and Geological Hippodrome." In 1876 it was renamed "Gilmore's Garden." It was an open air arena. Loud volume:  Today, society may be experiencing the Molech volume affect. Molech: A detestable Semitic deity honored by the sacrifice of children, in which they were caused to pass through or into the fire. "slaughtering" by Ezekiel 916:21), and a "burning though (in the) fire" by Jeremiah (chap 7:31),babylon children to Molech  Once the music-grove, where Solomon's singers, with voice and instrument, regaled the king, the court and the city; then the temple of Baal, the high place of Moloch, resounding with the cries of burning infants; then (in symbol) the place where is the wailing and gnashing of teeth." Lest the parents should relent, a loud noise was made on drums to hide the screams.Loud volume Spiritually, Nero could not hear the cries of His empire. His deafness led to the Spanish revolt of 68 that led to his reported suicide and the civil war that ensued from his death. Metaphorically, Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus so-called Mad Emperor "fiddled while Rome burned". Because of his reported excesses and eccentricities, neglecting the problems of the Roman city and empire. Loud Sound Hearing Education Awareness for Rockers (HEAR) As older rock ers, musicians and singers have developed hearing loss and tinnitus, hearing health awareness among musicians has increased. The word for drums is tophim from which the word 'Tophet,' the place mentioned in verses such as Jeremiah 7:31: ''They have built the high place of Tophet... to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire. While drums sounded, bands played, and priests chanted, human sacrifices were devoured in the flames." (Woodrow, Ralph, Babylon Mystery Religion, p. 72-73).May 2006 - iPod Hearing Loss Protection for Boomers: Five HearPod Solutions Infant Sacrifice Raven  is a tween Idol.  (tween kids are not toddlers but not yet teens) Raven, whom you might remember as cute little Olivia in the 1980s sitcom 'The Cosby Show,' is now a Disney Channel star on 'That's So Raven.'  Tween Idol Worship on the rise. James Houran, a psychologist who has studied celebrity worship for years, cringes at such examples." When you reach the point where kids feel they have an intense personal connection with a celebrity, that's when they are beginning to cross into unhealthy obsession," he said. "Suddenly they are in a relationship with Hilary Duff when they don't know Hilary Duff." For many tweens, liking stars is not enough: They must become fans, and feel as if they're actual 'friends' with their favorite celebrities. Indeed, one study — conducted in England — shows that though youngsters a decade ago tended to describe parents or other family members as their heroes, today they are more likely to cite a teenage celebrity. Experts note there is good news in the burgeoning trend of celebrity worship among the very young. Where girls once almost exclusively idolized boys and young men, today they are devoting most of their attention and spending power toward female stars. Linda Sonna, a psychologist who studies "tweens," kids who are not toddlers but not yet teens, says she has seen statistics that show the average parent spends only about 15 minutesa day talking with his or her kids, an estimate that does not include the time spent issuing orders and giving directions or specific guidance. In worst-case scenarios, experts say, those are the kind of delusions of intimacy that can fuel unhealthy celebrity worship; in most kids, however, they simply blur the line between fact and fantasy that confuses children in even the best of circumstances.  Consider, the Spectacle of the cross. And authorities by cross disarmed display had having he Him made of over powers public rulers spectacle the them through triumphed. The Thief, the Cross,  Pain and the Spectacle of Punishment.  15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.  He stripped all the spiritual tyrants in the universe of their sham authority at the Cross and marched them naked through the streets. I come to the garden alone While the dew is still on the roses And the voice I hear falling on my ear The Son of God discloses. Refrain And He walks with me, and He talks with me, And He tells me I am His own; And the joy we share as we tarry there, None other has ever known. He speaks, and the sound of His voice, Is so sweet the birds hush their singing, And the melody that He gave to me Within my heart is ringing. Refrain I’d stay in the garden with Him Though the night around me be falling, But He bids me go; through the voice of woe His voice to me is calling.
