The Power of Music

Everyone,

I have a great testimony on the power of music and hymns. I had the privilege of hearing my good friend, play the piano. I want to bear testimony on the very real power of music. The last song she played for us before we left her home was "A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief." As she did an abundance of the spirit filled the room. It is truly amazing how when one is feeling the spirit their desires, their actions are drastically changed.

I know that one of the fastest ways to get the spirit is through the power of the Hymns and music. I know that the Lord and his spirit delights in good wholesome uplifting music, and will pour out a blessing upon the heads of those who joyfully make music to worship him (and the really cool thing is, he looks at the desires and intentions of our hearts, so those of us who were not so blessed in the music category still can be given the same blessings). I remember a time that I was at a dance had a great time, except I was upset at the DJ for his pick in songs. I had a friend who told me to go listen good, wholesome, gospel based music, and you feel better. I know that my friend was inspired in his counsel. Like I said early when one feels the spirit, there desires and actions change. I know mine did in that situation.

We are truly blessed to have music in our lives. It is probably one greatest blessing we have in our lives.
