I really felt that part when you said you asked God what door is open for spiritual attacks. Praying for discernment in all area's of our lives is so important.
Yes it is!! We have to ask the Spirit to examine us!
This is so true about music. As Christians we have to be mindful on what we allow in through our eye gates and ear gates. In the beginning it can be hard to stop listening to a favorite secular music artist but as time progress eventually it becomes apart of the past. I love jazz and I listen to the best Christian Jazz artist in my opinion, Ben Tankard. His music sings all by itself, it's beautiful. Not sure if you are interested but maybe you can take a quick listen to his music. You can find him on CZcams as well.
Thank you Angela! I appreciate the suggestion. Since you're into jazz, you might like Yoni Charis. He makes Christian lofi music that I like listening to throughout the day. Thanks for again for the feedback!
Hi Amber, thank you for being so honest about your struggles with listening to certain types of music. I can relate, last year I prayed and ask God for help because I couldn't do it in my own strength. Ask yourself if the music/lyrics honor God. It all boils down to obedience. I'm struggling in other areas too so I'm not judging at all. God bless!🤗🫂
Olyvea!! Thank you so much for reminding us that we don't have to overcome sin or strongholds in our own strength. I know it's something we know, but at the same time, it can be so easy to forget. Thanks for the encouragement and God bless you!
I love you so much Amber! I love the words you share, your personality, how you are so open with your viewers. May God continue to bless you abundantly 🙏💕
This is deeply encouraging! Thank you so much for the kind words and support!
Preach Girl! So worth it to follow His leading and surrender to Him the things that get in the way of His presence! ✨️🙏
Yesss!!!
Ending last year I had to delete all secular music from my phone because I learned that music opens my spirit to either demons or the Holy Spirit. It wasn’t easy at first but I had to choose what spirit have access to me. It felt right doing that.....
Ooohhhh that's deep!
Wow only my the grace of God that u found your CZcams video! I absolutely love how real you are and honest you are makes me feel like I can relate and also the fact that you love the lord ❤.... sending love from London! Definitely a subscriber
Oh wow!! You're from London?! That's one of my favorite places of all time- the most inspirational place to me for sure! I'm so glad you're enjoying the content. Thanks for showing love and support!
Thank you for your transparency and I also deleted all of my Beyonce after I watched Jackie’s video but the Holy Spirit had already been telling me it needed to be deleted. If you enjoy hip hop I would suggest Andy Mineo. I have the same issue with Christian music and I usually go back to artists from the early 2000’s like Kirk Franklin, Tye Tribbett, Israel and New Breed because that era of gospel music had diversity. I’m thankful for the other suggestions as well!
Thanks for watching! I've been listening to Andy for years!
I literally have a whole playlist called “Meditate” with Christian Indie and Lo-fi songs cuz I don’t like a lot of the typical worship songs either! Look into Claudia Isaki, Grace Tena, Alia Lara, Madison Ryann Ward, The Lofi Christian, just to name a few!
Yeessssss!!! Thank you so much girlie! I need to do this ASAP!
Praying for you Amber! I hope your speaking engagement goes well at your church!! It has definitely been a rough couple of weeks and I hear you about getting back on track because there have been many tests and triggers, traumas resurface, etc. But I continue to feel the Holy Spirit guiding me and God covering me, the more I turn to him.
This is what I meant during the fast about knowing your distractions. I am with you on this! Music and reality TV are big for me also. Sadly, I absolutely love Netflix and cooking shows but I'm starting to find that even those are distracting me from hearing from God. I've found that there are things in this world which may not exactly be outright harmful to your spirit but continuing to put those things before God will be and that is how the enemy tempts me. A little here and there and before long I'm watching hours of cooking shows when I should be diving into God's word to strengthen my relationship with him. I think this also depends on where you are in your spiritual journey. Anyway, getting off my soapbox now lol thank you for sharing with us and keeping us encouraged! Stay blessed and remember that God has so much planned for you. It's all a part of the beautiful journey. 💓
Hey Stassja! Thank you for sharing your heart and for those nuggets of wisdom. It's so true! I know each and everyone of us has to fight against putting things before God because a lot of times we don't even realize what we're doing. I appreciate your prayers and words of encouragement. God bless you!
Hey Amber! Last year I decided that I was done with secular music, but I still wanted something high bit for when I workout. I came across MTM Isaiah. One of his albums is “Relationship with God”. Omg I have it on repeat lol. Hope you give it a try. God Bless you sis
Okay!! Thanks for the recommendation. I appreciate it!!
What's worked for me lately is listening to "clean" versions of Drake or anyone else. The bad words are gone but the beats are still 🔥. If there's not a clean version I just skip it. But I'm satisfied with the huge catalog of "clean" versions of songs out there
I used to do the same thing, but honestly, it still affects me. (I tried to get around it lol) But speaking of "clean" versions, have you noticed that Apple has been subtly doing away with clean edits? I just don't understand why they would do that!
Girl I feel you! I've found Christian artists with an R&B sound, and I have not turned back to secular music ever since. You should check them out: Allia Lara, Jackie Legere, and Uninvted.
Thank you Jazmine!!!
Hey sis,
Music suggestions that you may like:
Not in order I listen to some not all but it sounds like you were looking for a style of
Marcus Rogers music
Jonathan Traylor
Lamboginny (Count your blessing)
Here's a good worship suggestion also for your set times: Victoria Orenze
Thank you so much my friend!
I would suggest tori kelly, madison ryann ward , caleb gordon, and lecrae. These are a few artists who talk about God in their songs, and have a good vibe in their music to jam to
Hmmm...I haven't heard of 2 out of the 4 that you mentioned. Thanks girl!
Tasha Cobbs is one who I can think of off top who makes good songs.
Typically Spotify has exploration pathways for Christian music that fits contemporary tastes n still suits the Gospel.
Thanks for the suggestion! I personally don't listen to worship music throughout the day. I have set times for it. I would really like to find Christian music that will get my creative juices flowing and inspire me. I hope that makes sense!
@@amberdmccann That makes perfect sense. It's typically difficult to find inspiration at times for me as well. I listen to artists like Hulvey, Jason L Champion and Joshua Rodgers. Among others, they have more contemporary touch to their songs - being christian musicians.
congrats on speaking at your church!!!!!!
Thank you my friend!!
Check out Kingdom Muzic and Marcus Rogers,Romy Rogers,Marv Rogers etc. Their music is anointed.
Thanks for the recommendation!
I love Doe as an artist RnB VIBE so real tho
I have heard of her before!! She seems to really be taking off!
Ouh you should check out Cochren & Co !
I understand where you're coming from about the music. Coming from a musically inclined family, music has been at the center. However, growing spiritually and with discernment, it's important to understand that there is a reason why music can be influential and can compromise the spirit. The enemy was the angel of music, therefore, now in earthly ways, he uses it to impact the spirit. Give Christian music more chances until conviction. Spotify has different genres, you just may have to dig a little deeper. Praying for you 🙏🏽
Very true! Growing in wisdom and discernment is of utmost importance. I always remember Satan's role with music in the back of my head, but I can be so slow to take action. I appreciate the suggestion to explore Spotify. I never thought to do that before!
Hi Amber, I praise God for the decision you made to delete that type of music! That was a huge step you made for the kingdom of God. Also I know there's not a lot of upbeat gospel music. I have a group that I like to listen too called Sons of Korah. My favorite song by them is Psalms 51. You should definitely check them out!
Hey Keyonnie! Thank you so much for the feedback. I really appreciate it!
@Amber McCann No Problem, Sister in Christ😊
This is really good advice. However, I would like to ask do you think all secular music is bad? like secular music that doesn't mask evil as good, but rather talks about good positive things. I have only been feeling conviction about taking out my bad secular music, but I know some people believe if it is not "Christian music" then it is demonic (even though there is no such thing as Christian music but music rather made by believers). If that makes sense. Thank you for making this video, and speaking so much love towards Beyonce. I also pray the same for her
Hey Yolanda! I think you and I are on the same page! I don't believe that all secular music is bad. We just have to be obedient to the Holy Spirit when He convicts us about certain songs or artists. I appreciate your support and what you shared. Thank you!
Who perry please lead me to the video
Search "Jackie Hill Perry Beyonce" and it should come up!
Am I the only one who did amazing on the fast but then afterwards, declined? Both spiritually & food-wise?
No, I literally feel like I read and not study the Bible anymore. I feel like I’m not hearing from God anymore😞
I can relate too! I felt the decline in my productivity as well. Even though it's mid-February, I feel like the new year is just getting started for me. The fast threw off my normal routine, but I'm slowly getting back into a groove. Remember to give yourself some grace and ask God to slow things down for you so that you can catch up a bit. Much love!
same here. It was my first fast and I sadly only made it to 10 days of just raw veggies and fruits. I had a spiritual decline and started overeating but I am slowly getting back on track
Sister you may have a soultie with Drake through his music, ask God to cut the soulties,and it will be easy for you.
I don't know much about soul ties and didn't realize you can develop one with someone you've never met. This is good advice. Thank you for sharing!
@@amberdmccann Jacob had a soultie with his son,(family soulties) king David had a soultie with Jonathan(soulties with friends)Check out Anointed fire if you are very sensitive(prophetic) she expalins how your wiring works, how God created you.(Genesis 44:30) 1 Samuel 18:3 Alos check out Pastor Kevin L.A Ewing they explain how the spirit realm work he breaks the Bible down precept upon precept. God confirm them true children.
There is no such thing as a “soul tie” with someone through music. Can we make music and artists an idol? Yes. But a soul tie with someone you have never met or had a physical or emotional connection with, no.
@@godsmissionministry.6224 With the utmost grace I want to let you know that I am VERY aware at how the spirit realm works. I lead a life led by The Holy Spirit on a daily basis. I didn’t even respond without getting confirmation first. While we won’t know everything on this side of heaven I am in awe of what The Lord has already showed me. So instead of going back and forth with you which is something that the enemy would love I am going to gracefully agree to disagree with you on this one. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
@@yannique God bless you sis, thank you.God can use other Christains to deliver us from lacking knowledge,Holy Spirit will confirm that you can have soulties with people,through their music. Some Christains are further in their knowledge,of how the spirit realm works.
Hi Amber, I have sent you an email. Please check.. ❤️

@@amberdmccann Hi my dear. I dont know if I used the wrong email address but it did not go through. Can you please give me the correct one?
@@zoniaherold Sure thing! info@admccann.com
