My Deliverance
On my way to the Friday general tarry that held on the 11th of April, 2025, I remember telling God I didn’t really have an expectation for the tarry because I wanted to give the visitors (those attending the meeting for the first time) a chance. But I also prayed that He should give me an expectation. During the meeting, Pastor Ita taught on music, especially worldly music. During the prayers, I prayed that Pastor would pray about the issue. However, he didn’t, though he prayed for new minds and thoughts. I accepted it, believing God would purify my mind and thoughts from ungodly songs.
On Sunday morning, I discovered that these songs were still playing in my head. They began playing from the bathroom till I was on my way to church. I asked myself, “These songs are still playing in my head?” I didn’t give it much thought, though, and just waved it aside since I was used to it already. That same day, Pastor again preached about music, and during the prayer session, he prayed about my issue. He said, “You spirit that plays demonic music. You come at night and start playing music, leave now.” I was surprised because I reacted to the prayer. It had skipped my mind that it was probably a demonic issue.
New Songs: A Confirmation Of The Deliverance
The concept of new songs was very foreign to me when I came to God’s Lighthouse. The first time I believe I heard Pastor talk about singing new songs to God was from our music audio titled Shining Jesus. A verse in the song says, “Sing a new song unto the Lord, tell Him what you want only in your words…” From then on, I tried obeying and singing something new to God. It, however, always felt very dry and like it came from my flesh. I didn’t like the fact that it didn’t rhyme like Pastor’s own or didn’t have a good tune. I felt I needed to have instruments in the background, too. So I had struggles singing new songs.
There were very few times I was immersed in singing a new song to God. One I can remember was at home during the holiday, while washing plates-I just started singing something new to God and dancing to it. Also, at a particular time while I was praying, I received a song. This one didn’t really have verses, just a chorus and a good tune, which I recorded on my phone. Another time I can remember is this year, some weeks back, when Pastor prayed for new songs. But this new song came during the worship session while we sang in the Spirit. This was, however, more than two months ago. I hadn’t had such experiences since worldly songs occupied my mind most of the time, making it even harder to receive and sing a new song.
