Just recently, I released a tune called
"Rhythm of the Spiritual Warrior". It is
a heavy Dub tune with lyrics identifying the
spiritual warriors and more important: what they
do.
It goes like this:
I come to chant down Babylon
I come to chant down the Serpent
I come to Dub Down De Dragon
Inna the Name of Yesus Kristos: JAH!
This is the Hardcore Dub
Heavy Heavy Hardcore DUB
This Is The Rhythm
Of The Spiritual Warrior
I come to chant down the Dragon
I come to chant down Babylon
I come to free up the souls of Jah Children
Once more, once more, once more...
It took me two weeks to create the tune, and it
wasn't because of a lack of inspiration or
something like that. I had to go through immense
spiritual warfare. It seemed like no method was
spared from the side of the enemy to keep me from
working on the tune.
The theme of the tune isn't
what it is for nothing, you know...
But why did the enemy take this tune so
serious? How come, after all a musical tune is
just a drum and bassline with some stuff on top of
it, right?
Wrong.
Some years ago, I heard a remarkable story. Two
people took LSD or a substance like that, and
started to play my music. I don't know which tune
or so, and it was a while back as well, but as
soon as the music started to play they had a
life-changing experience.
Expecting to have some kind of psychedelic
experience because of the drugs and the music, the
two sat down and waiting for what was to come. They
did not expect what was about to follow: it was
Yesus Kristos Himself Who appeared to them!
Obviously, there is a connection between
spiritual things and music.
Just like music plays a part in the process of
healing the soul, raising consciousness and
providing energy for JAH Children to live another
day, there is also the Rhythm Of The Spiritual
Warrior.
It's not just that I can witness this myself,
we can also see it for example when Rastafarians
come together to play the Nyabinghy rhythm as a
part of their spiritual warfare against Babylon
Queendom.
The Bible is full of examples too wherein music
plays a part in the spiritual warfare that takes
place because Satan and his workers fight against
JAH and His creation. One look to the Book of the
Apocalypse reveals how seven musical instruments
announce the coming judgement of JAH over the
wicked ones, for example.
And what to say about David, a skilled musician
and spiritual warrior who used his music as part
of his warfare against evil spirits that tormented
king Saul? Or the Israelites using music to break
down the walls of Jericho?
