Increasing Faith Through Music.

There is something phenomenal, powerful, ungraspable, magical, and captivating about music. Music does incredible things to us. It moves us and makes us bob our heads or snap our fingers while listening to the beats and rhythms.

Music is an effective therapeutic tool.

In the Bible, we were told David played music to help King Saul have relief and peace in times of difficulty and stress (1 Samuel 16:14-23 NIV). Meditation through music can help people recover a high state of awareness and clear the mind of spiritual ills.

Music heals us.

When we listen to music, our pupils dilate, our blood pressure may rise, our body hairs may stand up and chills may run through the spine.

Music is known to affect our emotions. If you listen to a sad song, your mood declines and happy songs make you feel happy. Similarly, songs of faith in God naturally increase our faith in God.


Ways Gospel Music Increases Our Faith.

Here are 4 ways gospel songs increases our faith.

1.Gospel music improves focus.

Songs of faith don't only clear our thoughts, they also help our minds focus more on God. As we memorize the lyrics, we commonly find ourselves in a state of worship by simply singing along in our minds. Music has the physiological potential to draw the attention of our minds back to the realities of faith when we feel scattered or out of sorts.

2.Gospel music calms us.

In a modern society that stresses us out, it can be quite difficult to feel the much needed calm and experience real mental peace. Spiritual meditation found in worship songs can have a positive impact on the autonomic nervous system that influences our physical and mental well being. The best artists are uniquely skilled at leading us to a tranquil spiritual mindset where we can commune with God through words and melodies.

3.They give us assurance.

Many of us face struggles every day between our jobs, schools, and families. Gospel songs comforts us that our struggles are not ours alone, but we find spiritual support and solace in God.

4.They connect with you on a deeper level.

Worship songs aren't deeper than all other aspects of Christianity, but they affect us very directly. Whether music changes moods, lowers blood pressure, or helps us focus better, it clearly has a huge impact on a person’s physical body.

Worship songs reach people in ways that cannot be completely understood. They connect with people offering joy and peace from within.
