Black Gospel Music as a Gift From God

[Manonfire63]

European Christians may have received a lot of gifts from God. Blessings. These blessings many people have taken for granted. The focus here is on the historically Black Protestant Churches in America.

Given we go to an American dinner, a lot of times, they may be playing the same old Rock and Roll music from the 1960-80's or so. It is 2025. What was so special about that time? A lot of that Rock Music was inspired by, or stolen from Black Gospel and Blues. There are a lot of distinct themes we may be able to see.

2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces [a]patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be [b]perfect and complete, lacking nothing. (James 1:2-4)

God is long suffering. Jesus Christ is the Suffering Servant. (Isaiah 53) A follower of Christ may have become a servant to his sorrow. Our suffering and trials may help bring us closer to God. Given a man was prideful and haughty, in his suffering and trials, he may have been humbled, and learned to listen. It may be that around 1910's or so, God gave The Black Church in the US, he gave them something. Some blessings.

Someone can choose God, and choose trials.....or someone can end up with them through the hard knocks of life. Nothing Glorious comes easy. Glory is triumphing over trials and adversity. Glory Glory Glory hallelujah.

Given someone was unfamiliar with Black Gospel Music, I really like the Dixie Hummingbirds and The Blind Boys of Alabama. Given someone was aware of classic Rock Music, they may be able to hear.



Is that like the song "The Last Time" by The Rolling Stones? Mich Jagger, similar to singer Madonna, he was in the occult, and a Kabbalist. What exactly are moves like Jagger? Kabbalah was Talmudic Jewish Mysticism for deniers of Christ. Satan was a liar and a thief. Given someone doubted that God blessed the Black Church somehow, we can tell in ugly backwards ways by what Satan was doing. Satan was a liar and a thief, and he was looking for God's blessings and anointing. Satan has no power other than, what Christians have ceded him. I don't cede anything. I am selfish in this way.

This was a topic a broached in another thread, and I thought I would introduce it in more the right way.

When I was 2 years old, I lived in Missouri and there was a black church across the street from us. Whites couldn't go to the black churches back then, so my mom sat me on the front porch so I could hear the music. That's what began my love of music and singing, hearing all those beautiful voices praising God.
