Rushing Is Robbery!!!!!!!


Hello to all you anointed, talented, creative, precious people! Well today's article will just be one of those reads that is preparatory for what we will be getting into during the coming weeks. I would like to say thank you to all of those who have been reading all the articles Tha Z Blog has released up until this point. I hope the content has been a blessing to both seasoned and aspiring engineers as well as singers, rappers, musicians, and songwriters. Today I speak to you all directly instead of diving into the engineering world and inviting all those interested to come alone! SO, LET JUMP RIGHT INTO IT!!!!!!!

As you awesomely gifted people press forward in your musical journey I simply want to encourage you to TAKE THE TIME THE FATHER YAHWEH has GIVEN YOU to learn as you go! There is no need to RUSH! I'm not saying that you should procrastinate, become slowful, and I certainly don't mean that you can't grow at a fast pace. See, you can be learning and growing your skills at a fast pace but still NOT be rushing!!!!!! Many of you are very quick learners and THAT IS OK! HOWEVER, there are some of us who want to get better so badly that you are beating ourselves up and wrecking our brains trying to force growth. Even worst there are others of us that don't care to even get better at all, yet they want to enjoy the benefits of someone who has become mature though humility and actually desiring to grow musically and as an individual. This is also, where we must remember that, YES you have a responsibility to cultivate these gifts by using them and all but never forget that it is YAHWEH who gives the true increase! Without Him our music will never be what it should be! I know many of you have had dreams and prophecies to come forth concerning what you would accomplish musically, how this would positively affect you in other areas of your life, the ones you love, and those you will have an impact upon! I get it! In spite of these things you must remember than just like your music must grow and mature........ SO DO YOU!

We are all in different places in life and have different measures of different things! Some of us are very mature as individuals but our music is in its infant stages. There are others of us who have music that in some ways may sound far more mature than we actually are as a person. I thank The Father that no matter where we are Yahweh wants to help us! See, He cares about YOU and the gift He gave you but YOU are His main focus out of the two! So during your journey He will use everything that you go through in the process of life (outside of music) to help perfect your character and how you operate in your abilities (this includes your music). Likewise, you will notice that He will even use your musical learning process to teach you principles from His Word and how to practically apply them to your daily life! Isn't it awesome how Yahweh can reach us no matter where we are? This is why "Tha Z Blog" will be taking a different approach to how our tutorials are presented to you! See, because The Lord has more for you to get out of your musical journey than just great sounding music! THAT IS WHY RUSHING IS ROBBERY!

AGAIN!!!! RUSHING IS ROBBERY!!!!!! This is why the enemy tries to pressure your flesh and vex your spirit! They know when they can get you to do this, you are practically handing your riches over to them! AND THAT'S A BIG PROBLEM!!!! WHY? BECAUSE IT AFFECTS YOU, YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND EVERYONE YOU MUST IMPACT FOR THE BETTER! No matter what you are doing in life including in music, when you RUSH, trying to move at a pace quicker than you are truly able to process you allow yourself to be ROBBED! The journey we are on to grow in our music contains so many life lessons. These lessons come thru all the ups and down you will go through as you CONTINUE to learn just like you go through things as life continues outside of music. These are the lessons that also become your greatest songs, your signature style, and maybe even a whole new genre who know's. HOWEVER, none of these things can come about if you try to rush your process and force your growth! Yup! I know it's sad. See, because, it is YOU who will miss out on many important things in music and other ares of life all because of impatience and the lack of contentment with what you have at the moment! This causes us to have to repeat things in life. Kinda like the children of Isreal walking around the same mountain 40 years. If this is you I love enough to say.......

STOP IT! STOP IT NOW!!!!

For example in music, rushing MAY cause you to have to go back and learn fundamental scales that you should have learned years ago all because you failed to get a good understanding in the first place. Not everyone can truly play by ear and be great. Another example is one who settles for relying on audio plug-in presets instead of dealing with the fear of learning how to use the tools (which can be intimidating), getting a basic understanding, and then moving forward into maturing in that understanding. Then when their music just doesn't sound right at all, they realize they need either to hire a mix engineer or to go back and learn how to do it. This could have been avoided by confronting and defeating anxiety and the fear of the unknown to begin with! This can go on for years! Ask me how I know...... lolol.....BUT THERE IS GOOD NEWS!

We have all made this mistake in somehow in some way. Thankfully, Yahweh can and will take up the humble in His arms and help them to get on track and use even those mistakes to perfect our character and musicianship regardless how reckless we may have been! So let's leave our overly hasty days in the past and as of TODAY........ JUST DON'T RUSH! We must learn that it is so critical to ENJOY our own process of maturity especially in music. Your process of learning and growth is making you into every wit of who you MUST BE on the earth as it is written concerning you in heaven. Also, with all the great things you will obtain on this path GET AN UNDERSTANDING of as much as you can and remember you don't have to force that understanding. With a heart turned toward Yahweh and daily walking with Him by faith (not what you think you know) you are certain to get everything you need because IN YESHUAH (Jesus) YOU ARE COMPLETE! SO if you are abusing yourself and maybe even others by trying to RUSH your musical learning and FORCE your growth HERE YA GO!!!!

SLOW DOWN YOU ARE ALREADY HERE!

WHERE?

IN THE LEARNING AND GROWTH PHASE CALLED LIFE WHICH ONLY MATURES UNLESS YOU HINDER IT AND NEVER REALLY ENDS UNLESS YOU DIE IN YOUR SINS!!!!!!!

WHAT DO I DO?

KEEP ON LIVING! BUT LEARN TO ENJOY YOUR LEARNING PROCESS WITH PATIENCE, THANKSGIVING, AND HIGH EXPECTATION OF THE BEST

ACCORDING TO YAHWEH'S WILL !

YOU WILL GET THERE IF YOU CONTINUE DILIGENTLY IN PATIENCE!

There is so much more I truly want to say on this topic today however I will save it for another article another time! I hope this helps you somehow. Please like, share, comment, and subscribe to our mailing list for more content and other helpful things! Have a great day! I love yall for real! Be blessed in Yashuah's (Jesus) name HalleluYah!

Good Day,

Zachary L. Engram
