Key Scriptures:

1 Samuel 16:23: "And whenever the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, David took the lyre and played it with his hand. So Saul was refreshed and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him."

2 Chronicles 5:13-14: "The trumpeters and musicians joined in unison to give praise and thanks to the Lord. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals, and other instruments, the singers raised their voices in praise to the Lord and sang: 'He is good; his love endures forever.' Then the temple of the Lord was filled with the cloud, and the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled the temple of God."

2 Kings 3:15: "But now bring me a musician. And when the musician played, the hand of the Lord came upon him." Elisha began to prophecy when the spirit fell upon him.

Acts 16:25-26: "About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them, and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone's bonds were unfastened."

Proverbs 15:4 (NIV): "The soothing tongue is a tree of life, but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit."

Ephesians 4:29 (NIV): "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen."

Proverbs 16:24 (NIV): "Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones."
