I Want To Bring The Fire!

I Want To Bring The Fire!

Today, I was the lead worshiper at my church. Now I have to tell you…I am a background kind of person when it comes to church. At least that is what I believe. I will work all day if I need to doing any job you need me to do…outside of the pulpit.

The thing is, that is not what God has called me to. 

He keeps pushing me to shake that spirit of fear, and move in whatever direction He tells me. I have delivered the word many times, but there is always a special anointing that God gives us when it comes to preaching. I think it’s because we know it’s not us who is speaking…it’s the Spirit of the Lord speaking through us.

When you are leading worship, people have certain expectations, and the louder you are, the better. 

I don’t know if that’s true, I just know that is what I like when I am sitting in the congregation. I like it when the worshiper brings the fire. I like it when the air is charged with anticipation for what is about to come. I know it is not about that, and it’s not about us. That it is all about God. And God uses us just the way we are. I understand that.

I just want to be able to project on the outside…what I am feeling on the inside.

I just believe that we serve a prayer answering God, and I believe the next time I am called to that assignment, God is going to give me exactly what I have been praying for. I will allow His Spirit to take control, and it won’t be me praising, but it will be the Holy Spirit praising through me.

Until next time…

Be blessed

Sometimes It’s Going to Take a Pressing

Sometimes It’s Going to Take a Pressing

The song, You Made a Way, by Travis Greene sums up how I am feeling today. 

God never ceases to amaze me. He keeps making a way out of no way. Just when you think nothing makes sense…He does something to show you that there is a plan in place and that if you hang in there He will show you some amazing things.

I was thinking about how God works when the Holy Spirit dropped in my spirit that sometimes to get fresh oil…to get a fresh anointing…there will be a pressing. It may appear that things are not getting any better, and you are not going to make it. But that pressing is bringing out the best in you. That pressing is not going to take you out…it is going to make you stronger. 

The Lord is moving mountains for you. He is causing walls to fall. He is removing obstacles and opening doors that no man can shut. But none of that will happen until you give up your right to be right. God needs you to know that in Him is where you will find your strength, your joy, your peace and your power.

God will never fail you. Nothing about what you are going through is random. God is bringing out of you what you will need in the days, months and years to come. He knows what you are going to come up against, so He has already sent ahead of you what you will need when you get there.

There will be things that are going to try to make you quit, but God will not allow you to abort your purpose. 

Right now you may be going through a pressing…just know that it is not designed to take you out, but to build you up, and strengthen your relationship with Him. God is always with you. Trust the process.

Until next time…

Be blessed
