do demons manifest physically in people today?

Darren and Arcturus,
Thank you for both posting your posts. Darren I love the Scriptures about music. Music is very Godly <smiles> Music is indeed the gateway to the soul, if it can be tapped into correctly. In fact well played music, is such that the music plays itself. Let me explain.
Imagine, being so in tuned to the music, that it takes a life of its own and seems to play itself. When I am playing, and am in tune to God, the music just lifts off the ground and takes off, not becuase of my well <coughes> great techinical ability and such, but becuase when You truly focus on God, he just seems to pop out of anything that you are doing including music. Chaotic Music is truly beautiful. I am working on one such pieace the Boulez 2nd Sonata. For those of you interested, it is the hardest piano rep out there, and becuase I asked one day, I am stuck in learning it. It has no keys or time signature. It is truly beautiful. Tying into music is mathematics. Choas thoery is a wonderful thing.
What is choas??? It is something that we have not defined the order or something that we understand as of now. That is the beauty, to know that it is an ordered system, but no order has been defined or it. So it is ordered or choatic??? Who knows, all I know is that there is Order in everything and nothing is disordered. Thank God.
I am waxing philosophical this morning, so before I work myself into a philosopical frenzy, I will quit.
Great thread by the way.

Darren, I just re read all those scriptures on praising and singing. I would suggest posters and lurkers to re read them also.
Whew!!! I got happy in the Lord! We ARE to praise Him, recite back to Him all of His wonderful deeds and how He redeemed us and how faithful He Is, Was and Will be....
And to SING of all His marvelous works and remind one another of His Love toward us.
Yes, it makes ME FEEL close to HIM when I praise and sing of How Good He Is. It builds my faith up to know that He Will Continue To do His marvelous work in my life!!!
Israel's capturs REQUIRED of them a SONG of Zion....Was that hard for them to do?? Were they bummed that they had to leave Zion for Babylon?? Yet they sang, while forced into slavery. I have always love Ps 137. I get such imagery out of that.
And we sang the Song of Moses. What did it sound like? Read Psalm 89 and then 90. Always remembering How God Saved Them and telling Him how they trusted Him. Even tho Israel was in & out of trouble all the time. So was David. But they knew how to praise Him.
I remember being saved a short while, and attending a lutheran church cuz it was around the corner. I was in Ann Arbor and could walk. I had just discovered Jesus and the Word and I was in love. I know of no other way to say it. I couldn't get enough. And there I was bored stiff. I didn't get why they weren't as excited as I was and so happy. Eventually I came to realize I was very charismatic by nature and belonged in a happy, praise filled church. Then after awhile like everything else, loses some luster when real life sets in. But by myself, I never lost that love & desire to praise Him. I still have that need.
I agree w/ Ray, tho, worshipping Him in Spirit and Truth is Obedience to the Word. Praising in the flesh is easier. Obeying is harder. But sometimes its the praising that gets me to obey.
This is an older thread and probably many won't even see it. But for those who do, please re read those praise and singing scriptures. They are lovely!! And HE is worthy to be praised.
Hallelujah!!! ;D
