THE CHARISMATIC MUSIC INSIDE OF THE SDA CHURCH:

The ungodliness and apostasy of the last generation, both in the world and in the church, is growing at incomprehensible proportions, and in the last days God is calling us to repent and to choose the right side! An interesting feature of Babylon and the enemy’s side is the growing ecumenism, along with the worship of the Trinity, which according to the Pope is the most important ecumenical factor. Another factor is the “Christian version” of demonic Rock and Beat-Pop music. Lectures by preacher and former rocker Brian Neumann can help us better understand how dangerous hidden hypnotic images are on television and in cinema, as well as modern syncopal and hypnotic music. 

Even pop star David Bowie said that every form of modern music with rhythm, even the most inconspicuous forms like New Orleans Jazz or modern Christian music, have their roots in voodoo. They have a hypnotic effect on our brain because this type of music avoids the frontal lobe, which is our brain filter. People who are active in the pagan-demonic Voodoo religion, practice rhythmic music with drums and often fall into obsession where they shake their bodies and limbs on the ground. We see a similar phenomenon in charismatic religious circles. Only at such extremes can we recognise what such music gradually leads to, even that hidden in a milder form and that it allows Satan closer and closer access to our mind and body in the literal sense. 

Such music has been present in our country for a long time. It came into our church through the once less conspicuous early line-ups of the Heritage Singers, and later grew through Sandy Patti and the modern Heritage Singers. They did not accidentally open the way to today’s charismatic music of demonic background. A similar thing happened in the world, where the Beatles provided access to blasphemous Heavy Metal and Dance music. Ellen White prophesied world music in our circles, with drums, rhythm and playing, as a characteristic of the Omega apostasy in the last church, just before the end of the time of probation, and she wrote that music in both directions has an incomprehensibly strong effect on our mind, positive or negative.

• ”Those things which have been in the past will be in the future. Satan will make music a snare by the way in which it is conducted.” {Ellen White: 2SM, p. 38.} 

• “The things you have described as taking place in Indiana, the Lord has shown me would take place just before the close of probation. Every uncouth thing will be demonstrated. There will be shouting, with drums, music, and dancing. The senses of rational beings will become so confused that they cannot be trusted to make right decisions. And this is called the moving of the holy Spirit. The holy Spirit never reveals itself in such methods, in such a bedlam of noise…A bedlam of noise shocks the senses and perverts that which if conducted aright might be a blessing. The powers of satanic agencies blend with the din and noise, to have a carnival, and this is termed the holy Spirit’s working.“ {Ellen White: 2SM, p. 36} 

This announced type of apostate music received growing applause in the church before our eyes. In defense of this, the biblical expression drums from Psalm 150 are abused. Honest research of the Biblical past tells us that the instruments of that character at that time were only a decent accompaniment of very small instruments with only one gentle beat per beat, which accompanied a melody full of joy and happiness. The drums of that time did not have the syncopal rhythm, volume, and frequency as the ones that are used in today’s dances and music. But, as an “argument of correctness”, some say that the music of the Jews from a later period is similar to what we have today. The Jews of that time took on visibly larger drums, as did all the other pagans around them. It is this music that enables and intensifies the obsession of many people in charismatic circles. 

When we look at Revelation again, God clearly says that He will spit out Laodicea, and we see that there is no new church after her. God is a God of order, and He does not want a chaotically scattered people. Since the Scriptures make it clear that the tares and the wheat are growing together until the harvest, we must pray and fast so that God will clearly reveal to us the message of these times. At the apostasy-charismatic 2013 Pan-European Youth Congress in Novi Sad, in addition to the music from the enemy’s side, the pantomime of immoral female-male flirtation was shown. Ellen White wrote in the Testimonies that God explicitly forbids theatrical performances both within and outside Adventism. Even to such a truth come arguments as Ellen White praised her grand daughter when she had a simple children’s performance at church! 

When someone stays in the apostasy long enough, his heart hardens so much that he begins to find justification for everything, even though the truth is clear! The music of the singer “Jay Z”, who openly celebrates Satan, was broadcasted in that gathering, and disco music could be heard from the speakers during breaks. It is the complete fulfillment of the prophecy of the Spirit of Prophecy about apostasy just before the end of times. Many believers, who were there with sincere motives, did not even notice it, like many on the sidelines because, with the huge presence of evil angels on their territory, the eyes of the faithful on that ground were being blinded. Ellen White was explicit about not to go to such gatherings, nor to participate in discussions with the spiritists because we will surely fall into a field where God has not sent us to! This also happened to one of the great preachers of Sister White’s time, who even after such a warning he became a spiritualist! 

The right way for a true Adventist to act is to leave such gatherings where the atmosphere goes in the wrong direction. If the believers had reacted in time, there would never have been such an explosive manifestation of celebrating the other side. That is why every step on the opposite ground directly opens the door to the enemy, like watching movies and listening to the music of this world, and even infiltrated pop and beat music in the church! Satan’s servant Elvis Presley did the same with gospel music of syncopal rhythm, on which all of today’s music is based. There is “quiet pop music” in most modern music of our church and the world. There are Adventist churches in the United States where a large number of young believers dance in the dark with fog and disco lights, with “Christian pop and rock music” during worship.
