How God Uses Music to Speak

Ever wake up with a song stuck in your head?  Or have you had a dream with a song in it?  I used to blow off song lyrics stuck in my head when I awoke and chalked it up to an annoying interference that I couldn’t seem to get rid of.  After studying dreams and the seer gift, I’ve discovered how profoundly God uses music to speak to us.

Ancient scrolls reveal that all of creation speaks of God and we will stand before Him without excuse and we will not be able to say we didn’t know He was speaking (Romans 1:20).  After discovering hidden treasures in the way He speaks, I have found He uses everything to speak to me. 

When I started paying attention to the songs that were in my head, either when I awoke, when I was in a dream, or anytime they provoked me to pay attention, I discovered God was speaking in profound ways.  Many times I would pray before going to sleep at night and the lyrics in the song when I awoke would be a direct answer or specific direction for me.  Other times I found my spirit would be worshiping Him with a song or that He would be lavishing His love on me.  Just this morning I had several dreams that revealed I was discouraged and saddened about something and awoke on two separate occasions to hear  the lyrics “you can’t escape my love” by Enrique Iglesias and another Christian song which I cannot remember the title, but the lyrics were “you are a child of mine”.  It’s difficult for us to truly believe how much God passionately loves us and the great lengths He will go to express His love to us.  How incredibly cool to have a God who is so fun and creative.

Many of you have shared with me how instrumental (no pun intended) music has been in hearing from God.  I encourage you to pay attention to those songs that are vying for your attention and no longer dismiss them.  They could be offering you encouragement, direction, warnings, or the love you need for the moment.  God speaks in all of creation and we will stand before Him without excuse.
