ME vs GOD.

Worship starts with the congregation, not the stage nor the artiste, nor the worship leader.

There’s a sound of worship that comes from a congregation so hungry for God… a wave that comes from the back of the room, overtaking the concert. It’s not something that you can orchestrate or plan for, that sound, that response when God shows up.They are coming to experience God.”

Each time we bring our hearts to God, it feels as if it is a fresh encounter. We can’t rely on past encounters with God, because He chooses the encounter. We should pray and ask God to show up, and if we think it’s something we’re doing, we’re missing the whole point.

So how does one go about capturing that shift in the atmosphere, that moment when the order of service takes a back seat to the work of the Holy Spirit? You simply “get out of the way. The best you can do is to prepare your heart and be obedient.

“You have to be willing to become invisible. It’s never about you. Nothing in the service is about you. People aren’t coming to see you. 

Each time we bring our hearts to God, it feels as if it is a fresh encounter. We can’t rely on past encounters with God, because He chooses the encounter. We should pray and ask God to show up, and if we think it’s something we’re doing, we’re missing the whole point.

If you scan the Christian music horizon, you’ll find a wealth of artistry created in praise of God and represented by music styles as diverse as the Church itself. But there are some sounds that defy categorization, some songs that go beyond what our vocabulary can express. And it is the desire to welcome and nurture these heaven-inspired sounds and songs that should drive worship leaders and songwriters.

If you look at what God is doing, what only He can do, you can’t take credit for any of this… if it works, it’s God. There’s no pressure because you can’t do anything apart from God, but there is responsibility to inspire the next generation to pursue God, to inspire them to get into His presence and make a difference in this world.”

We’re not going into these places for concerts, we’re going in to see moves of God- This should be the approach of our music ministrations, not otherwise.

“If I don’t do it, He’ll find someone who will.”
