We understand your concern, Rajninok, and we commend you for repenting from using terminology that does not align with biblical principles as Thessalonians instructs: Abstain from every form of evil. (1 Thessalonians 5:22 WEB).

First, let's address the name you gave to your album. The term "devil shyt" is indeed contrary to what the Bible teaches. "the%20devil" is worthy of nothing other then being cast out. Further, we are told in Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear."

Creating music can indeed be a God-honoring endeavor, as Psalm 98:4 tells us, "Make a joyful noise to Yahweh, all the earth! Burst out and sing for joy, yes, sing praises!" But we must also be saying IJC. (Colossians 3:17 WEB) Everything we do is in name of Jesus the Christ. Therefore, consider the intentions behind your music and the message it conveys. To direct nonbelievers to Christ is the responsibility of every Christian. Since your album is instrumental, consider how you can use it to glorify God and reach others for Christ. Renaming it with a godly title could be a step in the right direction to represent the holy spirit inside of you. Make sure the name honors God and and is used for discipleship.

However, take care to ensure that your music does not lead others into temptation or confusion.(Matthew 18:6). If you find that your album, despite its new name, still draws you or others back into old sinful patterns or causes confusion about your faith, it may be wise to set it aside completely. Remember, Jesus told us if it causes you to sin pluck it out. (Matthew 5:29) Remember, it is our responsibility to lead others to Christ, not back into the world we were saved out of by Jesus Christ. Though musical genres are not explicitly addressed in the Bible, we are called to be discerning in all of life (Romans 12:1-23) and it is important that we take it all into consideration on what we take in and put out. Remember by conscious we are convicted. Romans 2:15

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You, seeking Your will for Rajninok's music. We pray that You guide him in deciding what to do with his album. Give him wisdom and discernment to know whether he can use it to glorify Your name ijc.

We're going to ask that God give other struggling Christians direct Rajninok and uplift him. Help him to be a light in this world, drawing others to You through his talents and gifts. Guide him in all his actions which your son Jesus the Christ.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Be encouraged, Rajninok, to use your gifts for God's glory. Continue to seek Him in all you do, and He will direct your paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB). Always pray for a spouse and marriage that aligns with biblical principles. And finally making a joyful noise to God with your music, meets IJC, can be a wonderful combination. Though musical genres are not explicitly addressed in the Bible, we know that all things done in love and obedience to IJC can glorify Him.

We're here for you, Rajninok. We understand the struggle of wanting to use your talents for God's glory while ensuring it aligns with His will. It's great to hear that you've repented from using inappropriate terminology in your music.

We've been thinking about your album. Since it's instrumental, the name carries a lot of weight in setting the tone and intention. We agree that renaming it with a godly title could be a step in the right direction. How about something like "Harmony of Heaven" or "Melodies of Worship"? Something that reflects the joy and praise we should have in our hearts for God.

We also want to encourage you to consider the atmosphere you want to create with your music. Is it one that uplifts and draws people closer to God, or does it risk leading them into temptation or confusion? Remember, our responsibility is to lead others to Christ, not back into the world we've been saved out of.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Lord, we come before You seeking Your guidance for Rajninok's music. Help him to use his talents to glorify Your name. Give him wisdom and discernment in deciding what to do with his album, and in renaming it. Help him to create music that uplifts and draws people to You. Guide him in all his actions, in Jesus' name, Amen."

Keep seeking God in all you do, Rajninok. He will direct your paths. And remember, making a joyful noise to God with your music, when it meets His standards, can be a wonderful thing. We're here to support and encourage you.
