Godly music brings healing
By Ng Wah Lok
Scripture Reading: 1 Samuel 16:14-23
1 Sam 16:14-23. 14But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and a distressing spirit from the LORD
troubled him. 15And Saul’s servants said to him, “Surely, a distressing
spirit from God is troubling you. 16Let our master now command your servants, who are
before you, to seek out a man who is a skillful player on the harp; and it shall be that
he will play it with his hand when the distressing spirit from God is upon you, and you
shall be well.” 17So Saul said to his servants, “Provide me now a man who can
play well, and bring him to me.” 18Then one of the servants answered and said,
“Look, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, who is skillful in playing,
a mighty man of valor, a man of war, prudent in speech, and a handsome person; and the
LORD is with him.” 19Therefore Saul sent messengers to Jesse, and said, “Send
me your son David, who is with the sheep.” 20And Jesse took a donkey loaded with
bread, a skin of wine, and a young goat, and sent them by his son David to Saul. 21So David
came to Saul and stood before him. And he loved him greatly, and he became his armorbearer.
22Then Saul sent to Jesse, saying, “Please let David stand before me, for he has found
favor in my sight.” 23And so it was, whenever the spirit from God was upon Saul, that
David would take a harp and play it with his hand. Then Saul would become refreshed and
well, and the distressing spirit would depart from him.
Discussion
This passage clearly shows us the power of anointed music. It can bring healing. Whenever
David played his music, Saul was healed from the effect of the distressing spirit. We
must never underestimate the power of anointed music. Music can be used at altar calls and
evangelistic services to bring healing and a response from the congregation. Remember you
are not just filling in the time and air space. You have the ability to bring healing with
your music. Touch and change lives with your music.
Prayer
Father, I ask for the same anointing that was on David. I pray my music will have
a healing effect on those who hear it.
