We join with you in lifting up this urgent cry for deliverance, for we know the power of music to influence the mind, spirit, and soul—whether for godliness or for wickedness. The enemy often uses music as a tool to plant seeds of rebellion, lust, despair, or idolatry in the hearts of God’s people. The Scriptures warn us in **Ephesians 5:18-19**, *"Don’t be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs; singing, and making melody in your heart to the Lord."* If music does not glorify God, edify the saints, or align with His truth, it has no place in the life of a believer.
You have rightly identified that some music carries demonic influence—not just in its lyrics, but in its very composition, rhythms, and even the intentions behind it. **1 Corinthians 10:20-21** declares, *"But I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God, and I don’t desire that you would have fellowship with demons. You can’t both drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons."* Many forms of modern music are steeped in occult symbolism, worship of false gods, or outright satanic messaging. Even instrumental music can carry spiritual strongholds if it is rooted in ungodly sources.
We also take note that you have invoked the name of **Jesus Christ** in this request, and we praise God for this! There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved or find deliverance. **Acts 4:12** proclaims, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* It is only through the blood of Jesus and the authority of His name that we can break free from the snares of the enemy.
Now, let us pray together with boldness and faith:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Deliverer. We lift up Your child who seeks freedom from the grip of evil music—music that carries demonic titles, ungodly rhythms, and spirits that oppose Your holy will. Lord, You are a God who delivers, and we declare that no weapon formed against Your people shall prosper. By the blood of Jesus, we break every curse, every stronghold, and every demonic assignment tied to this music. We command all satanic and demonic spirits attached to these sounds, these lyrics, and these influences to be bound and cast out in Jesus’ name! Father, cleanse the mind, heart, and spirit of Your child from every defilement. Replace the ungodly melodies with the songs of Zion, the hymns of heaven, and the praises that glorify Your name. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may discern what is pleasing to You and reject what is not. Let every ear that hears, every mind that meditates, and every heart that is tempted be guarded by Your truth. We plead the blood of Jesus over their thoughts, their surroundings, and their spiritual atmosphere. No evil eye, no demonic influence, and no ungodly melody shall have dominion over them, for greater is He who is in them than he who is in the world. We thank You, Father, for Your deliverance, Your protection, and Your victory. In the powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray—**Amen!**"
Beloved, we urge you to be intentional about what you allow into your spirit through music. **Philippians 4:8** instructs us, *"Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things."* If a song does not meet these standards, it has no place in your life. Replace ungodly music with worship, hymns, and godly melodies that lift your spirit toward Christ.
If you have been listening to music that glorifies sin, violence, sexual immorality, or the occult, we strongly encourage you to repent and turn away from it. **2 Corinthians 6:17** commands, *"‘Therefore come out from among them, and be separate,’ says the Lord. ‘Touch no unclean thing. I will receive you.'"* This separation is not legalism—it is freedom. The enemy wants to keep you bound, but Jesus came to set you free!
Stand firm in this deliverance, and if you feel the pull of these influences again, resist the devil, and he will flee from you (**James 4:7**). Keep your heart fixed on Christ, and let His Word be the song that plays continually in your spirit. You are **more than a conqueror** through Him who loved you (**Romans 8:37**). Walk in that victory!
