Being the DUB musician that I am, I obviously
use the rhythm of the drum and bassline in my
spiritual warfare too. I have seen many times, how
music broke down the power of evil strongholds in
places where this music was played. Sometimes with
a band, sometimes alone with a multi-track
recorder, I have seen the "Saul effect"
many times.
Recently, I witnessed how someone was delivered
from a whole set of evil spirits in several hours.
It happened in my studio, where also people come
together to reason and pray.
We had been playing music all afternoon,
praising Jah and doing spiritual warfare in the
process. Playing music has an effect on the soul,
which when it's controlled can be used for
spiritual things and that is exactly what I was
doing.
You see, some people might close their eyes or
bow their knees to give their prayers strength.
More power to them, I would say. For it is a way
to use our body to get our soul in contact with
the spirit.
When you are a spiritual warrior and a
musician, it is obvious how music can play a very
big role in the function of spiritual warfare as
the soul of the spiritual warrior is very
important in the process.
We are created in the Image of Jah, the
Trinity. We are created body, soul and spirit.
After we become born again, we get a new spirit
and this spirit is perfect, because (s)he is born
from Jah. Our bodies carry sin, and carry our
individual souls as well.
Spiritual warfare, the word says it, takes place
within the spirit realm. Our spirits are the
active part of our little trinity of body soul and
spirit. Because our spirit is connected with the
Holy Spirit of JAH Who also dwells within our
body, our spirits have no need to be taught and
are in perfect communication with the Holy One,
with JAH.
However, we are also soul and body. Our bodies
carry sin and are what the evil ones call
"containers" for our spirits and our
souls. The spiritual battle is usually because of
the soul, too.
And that is where the music enters!
For music is all about the soul. We see
the workers of Satan's Queendom using music big
time, enslaving billions and billions of souls
throughout all times and spaces. Some even claim,
that Satan himself (before he became Satan, that
is) was an angel that had to do with music!
Music can take the soul to a lower level, but
also to a higher one. Within Reggae and Rasta
Culture, we called this "Ire Ites", or
High Regions, Heights!
