How to Find Music That Carries the Anointing
A Guide to Discerning Holy Sound in a World of Noise
Not all music is created equal.
Some is crafted by skilled hands with empty hearts.
Some is catchy, clever, and even labeled “Christian,”
But it carries no power.
No Presence.
No anointing.
Just noise.
But there is a remnant of sound that still stirs the Spirit.
A holy resonance.
A trembling string in the unseen realm that makes demons flinch
And hearts of stone melt into worship.
You’ve felt it before.
Maybe just once.
A song that brought you to tears — not by its melody,
But by the Presence it carried.
So how do you find music like that?
How do you discern the anointed sound
From the Christian industry clatter?
Here are 7 ways to find music that carries the anointing:
1. You Feel It in Your Spirit Before You Understand the Lyrics
The anointing pierces before it explains.
It hits you in the secret place of your spirit.
Even if the words are simple or even in another language,
You feel something deeper than words —
A weight of glory.
2. It Makes You Want to Worship, Not Perform
Anointed music points to Jesus.
It doesn’t spotlight the artist.
It draws you to your knees, not to a concert.
You forget who’s singing — and remember Who is worthy.
3. You’re Moved to Repent, Pray, or Weep
This is a sure sign.
When a song brings you to tears and you don’t even know why —
When your heart aches with the ache of heaven —
That’s holy.
That’s a thin place.
4. The Fruit of the Artist’s Life Aligns with the Spirit
Check their life.
Are they walking in humility?
Are they surrendered to Christ?
Or are they just trying to sell you a spiritual product?
The source matters.
The stream is only as clean as the spring.
5. You Sense the Fear of the Lord
Some songs carry a reverence.
They don’t entertain — they tremble.
They whisper of the majesty and wrath and mercy of God.
That’s rare.
That’s sacred.
6. You Don’t Just Hear It — You Encounter It
When anointed music plays, the room shifts.
Atmospheres change.
Bondage breaks.
Not because of volume or talent, but Presence.
The kind of presence that only comes from deep surrender.
7. It Lingers After the Music Ends
When the last chord fades, and you’re still stirred…
Still undone…
Still weeping or whispering praise…
That’s a song forged in the secret place.
That’s anointed.
Final Word:
Don’t settle for catchy or safe.
Ask for anointed.
Ask for fire-forged sound that comes from broken altars and burning hearts.
Find the music that heaven sings with.
Fill your ears with songs that draw angels, not demons.
Worship isn’t background noise.
It’s spiritual warfare.
And the anointed sound will help you fight.
