Music as Medicine or Poison - Come to Jesus, A Skeptic's Journey part 4 of 7
Updated: 4 days ago
From New Age DJ to Jesus: Music as Medicine or Poison.
Aloha. I became a DJ almost 30 years ago to use music as medicine for the soul.
One love. Let's get together and feel all right. Imagine. I thought I could help people access LOVE. Then I had to look at music inside my from New Age to Jesus life, with Jesus as Lord, and of course I am still learning.
We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of GOD, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, (2 Corinthians 10:5, ESV)
Key Takeaways
I became a DJ to use music as medicine. Positive lyrics were the plan. I am still asking what that music actually did.
Feeling good does not mean it is good for you. I said the same thing about heroin in an earlier video in this series.
A spell is words on repeat. Lyrics that loop can train your mind.
Guard the gates of your mind with Jesus. Take thoughts captive. Put on the armor of GOD.
You choose the jukebox. What you play in the car and in your head will pull you toward GOD or pull you off course.

I wanted music to be medicine
I became a DJ almost 30 years ago with one aim. Help people rock their dreams. Use music as medicine for the soul. Positive lyrics. One love. Let's get together and feel all right.
Music is a big one for me now as a Christian who received Jesus as Lord and Savior. I am still learning.
If you watched the other videos in this Come to Jesus series, you know what kicked this off. Gregorian chant. Exorcist-approved chant, the kind they use to disrupt demons. I was praying for someone in my life who stayed sick, used a lot of psychedelics, and called herself spiritual, while something in her stayed off.
I played the chant. I prayed.
Then the come to Jesus moment happened. It was as light as a baby feather of a baby bird. Tiny. Barely there. And the voice was strong. It told me it was time to let go of the old things. Time to let Jesus in. The Holy Spirit. The Father. The Bible.
I thought maybe I was hallucinating. I was stone cold sober and knew I was not. Instant yes. No tidal wave. No shaking. I was going to get a cup of coffee. This was after about twenty-four hours of Gregorian chant.
The old morning playlist still felt holy
For years before that, my mornings still looked like the old life. I prayed. I sat on my cushion. I chanted Kundalini yoga music. Sanskrit. Gurmukhi. English devotional songs. I told myself I was connecting with GOD.
It felt good.
Remember the heroin line from the earlier video. It feels good. That does not mean it is good for you.
I love music. It can calm me down. It can get me ready for a hard meeting. It is a beautiful tool. I am also learning, sadly, how demonic the music industry can be.
Not only weird stage clothes. People selling their souls. Rituals. Black magic on masters. I did not want it to be real. I dug anyway.
The claim that freaked me out: some albums, not all, get a spell cast on the master, so every copy carries it. I am a doubting person. I kept digging.
If something repeats, puts you in another state, and has you say the same lyrics again and again, what is a spell? Words. Spell. Spelling. Letters.
When people who serve the dark side do that for power, the listener consumes the spell too.
I hate saying this. My stomach gets nervous. I trust GOD and Jesus to protect me while I say it.
We are being programmed. Social media. Videos. Shorts. Songs we sing. If we do not take every thought captive, we swallow whatever is playing. Is this thought from GOD, or from darkness?
We have to be the guardians at the gates of our minds. We have to bring GOD in as the guardian. Cool and feel-good is not a test.
That is deception. I wish I could sprinkle fairy dust and make it pretty. You have to know your enemy. I have been studying what exorcists say about demons, even though I do not want that homework. I need a base level of what is happening.
The booth and the trance
Exorcists talk about order. An orderly home. Orderly living. They say clutter and disarray can be a sign you are under attack.
I have been around people who live in a mess and cannot stay present. Not spinning heads. Just not here. Not rooted.
Then we put on music that flies everywhere, a trance, a roller coaster. Fun, until you are not wearing Jesus as armor. Then dark forces get a door.
Most of what I loved to play had positive lyrics. House. Trance. Drum and bass. Still hypnotic.
Did I accidentally open doors from the dj booth, in my life and in other people's lives? Positive lyrics, so it should be good, right? I do not know yet.
The goal now is prayer all day. A life that is a living prayer. Everything for the glory of GOD.
Lately I sing out loud to my dog and in the car. I make the words up. LOVE. Jesus. Thank You.
What you loop up here gets into the rest of you. If it is not for the glory of GOD, you can end up living in the flesh and leaving a door open.
A lot of the words out there are harsh and sad. People put pain in songs. Then we play the pain on repeat.
The song I treated like medicine
Ten years ago I collapsed. Completely. I will tell more of that story in another video and the book I am writing called "SNAP! Goes the Mommy".
There was a Depeche Mode song. The line that stuck was, I don't wanna start any blasphemous rumors, but I think that GOD's got a sick sense of humor. And when I die, I expect to find Him laughing.
I played that song a thousand times. It looped through my head. It got me darker and lower into despair and hopelessness.
I told myself the music was medicine. I gave myself permission to wallow. I saturated myself in despair.
And it nearly killed me. It nearly took my children's mother from them.
But hey, it's just a song, right? It was just a song.
I believe now the devil was working his way with me. He knew I was down. If he could keep me there, he could steal my soul.
He would get two more little souls. My babies. And everyone who loved me.
No thank you. Not today.
I still did not use that lesson well. I thought I knew better.
Fast forward five years. I relapsed.
I was listening to the same music. Heartbreak songs. I told myself I was using them to get through a hump. Feel the feelings. Do not bypass.
Never again. I will not misuse music and call it medicine so I can sit in a broken heart.
When you point that hypnotic pull at the dark, you are feeding the devil a buffet of your feelings.
I will never do that again. I never want anyone to do that.
When you point the same focus toward GOD, with words that glorify Him, that is how I process now. Go run your own experiment. See what is true for you.
The jukebox
We have free will to decide what we put on the jukebox of our minds, our cars, our lives. Everything we consume is a jukebox. What am I going to say yes to?
If you are saying yes to things designed to hold you down and hurt the people around you, you have to say no.
It is hard. Hard as heck. Hard to say yes to light. Hard to say no to the just-this-once way.
I do not want you tortured by this.
Music is medicine. You decide whether it is medicine for your soul, to Him and for His glory, or whether it belongs to the dark side. If even a fraction of the spell talk is true, look at what the industry puts in front of young people.
Ariana Grande had a video covered in blood. She claims to be a witch. She looks tormented. I used to like Lady Gaga. Talented yet something is very wrong. It looks like satanic ritual on stage. It is not of GOD, and it goes out to millions.
I want my brain washed with LOVE and GOD.
Cancel. Cancel. Clear. In the name of Jesus Christ, get out.
This is serious warfare.
Do not pretend it does not exist.
Do not put your head in the sand.
They do not want you under GOD's glory.
That is why we wear the armor every day, and let Him write LOVE on the heart.
I do not want my children inheriting this. It is hard. It is doable.
Pay attention to the music you let in. A sailboat one degree off course still sees the target at first. Another degree. Then you are far from your target. Tiny yeses add up over time to completely be off course.
I am not telling you to skip your feelings. I am telling you not to wear despair like an outfit or identity because you decided you needed to be depressed today. Do not submit. You have to fight.
I have struggled for decades. Doing great. Crash. Doing great. Crash. I am not pretending this is easy. If it were easy, everybody would skip the war.
We are at war. I have to fight.
Every time you want to say yes to going off course, ask where this path lands in a day, a month, a year, five years. Closer to GOD, or further?
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6, ESV)
Two directions. Not a cute middle. People say they are neutral. You are not.
I do not have this together. I do not have willpower for sale. I need Him all day. He has the power.
Even the Christian playlist needs discernment
I have been listening to Christian music. Rave Jesus. Gospel house. Songs that feel great. Then I learned Christian music has scandals too. A song can come from a church that ignored a sex-abusing pastor. It felt like the yoga studio all over again. I cannot run on “follow your heart.”
My heart is a liar. His heart is not.
When I stop overthinking and I actually surrender, that is when help comes. Last year I had to leave it at the feet of GOD. You've got this. I was trying to solve spiritual problems with physical-world stuff. It was not working.
I released it. Overwhelming peace. I am going to take care of this for you. GOD did. GOD took care of it.
Pay attention to what you consume. I want the music you choose to bring peace to your heart and bring you closer to GOD. I do not want you under a boot the way I was.
It was not a funk. It was an attack. By the grace of GOD I am here. I am supposed to use my voice. That is all I can do.
Pray that Jesus is in your heart. He really loves you. I used to make fun of that. I was such a jerk. I am sorry.
This is a beautiful gift. I am grateful.
Peace, LOVE, and warm aloha. In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.
Common Questions About Music and Coming to Jesus
Q: Can music be both medicine and poison?
A: Yes. DJ Valerie B LOVE teaches that music can heal the soul or train it toward darkness, depending on what you loop and whether it glorifies GOD. Positive lyrics do not automatically make hypnotic music safe.
Q: What does from New Age to Jesus have to do with being a DJ?
A: From New Age to Jesus, for Valerie, includes repenting of old DJ spirituality and testing every playlist against Jesus. She started as a DJ who wanted one-love medicine. After receiving Jesus, she began asking whether trance music, looping heartbreak songs, and industry rituals opened doors she never meant to open.
Q: How do I take every thought captive when a song is stuck in my head?
A: Take the lyric to Jesus and stop feeding it. 2 Corinthians 10:5 says we take every thought captive to obey Christ. Valerie's practice now is to sing to GOD on purpose, pray through the day, and refuse songs that pull her into despair.
Q: Is a Daily Spiritual Practice enough if my playlist is dark?
A: No. A Daily Spiritual Practice, what 11x LOVE calls the Daily LOVE Practice, includes what you consume, not only a morning prayer. Valerie relapsed while using the same heartbreak music and calling it medicine. PRAY ALL DAY means the jukebox belongs to GOD too.
Q: Is all Christian music safe?
A: No. Valerie says Christian music still needs discernment, because a song can come from a scandal-soaked church and still feel good. Feeling good is not the test. His heart is.
