As a musician, I have been immersed in music most of my life. While I have been a church vocalist and instrumentalist since my early teens, I have also participated in musical performances outside of the church: 60s and 70s folk, country, rock & roll, and pop. I am amazed at how God is still working it all together for good in my life, and it is a joy to share some of that journey with you.
A couple of months ago, I was having a night of worship at my house. Before everyone arrived, I asked God to show me what He would like to say that evening.
As Christians, we live in the tension of two realities every single day—the reality of the physical world in front of us and the reality of the unseen, spiritual world. We continually have to choose which one is going to influence our choices, actions and perspective. One of the significant things worship does is engage us in the battle to live by spiritual reality—the reality of who God is and what He says, as opposed to what it seems our circumstances or even other people are saying.
Prophetically, it is being declared that 2015 will bring divine reversals and turnaround in the midst of what may seem like a whirlwind year. According to the ACPE Word of the Lord for 2015, in the midst of the shakings and trials, worship is the key to seeing your release.
Absolutely nothing else has shaped my relationship with God the way worship has. I am not only referring to the songs we sing in our church services, although those are deeply significant to me. I am talking about the presence of God and the amazing dynamic that occurs when we adore Him and focus on all His goodness.
Hi! We wanted to give you a prophetic update on some things that are happening. Many people are experiencing turnarounds in this turnaround year. In fact, the news from Jerusalem after the Israeli elections, Netanyahu, was that it was a turnaround election. Very exciting.
As a mother to two little treasures, one of the greatest desires of my heart is to see them develop their own relationships with God. Sometimes I joke that I wish I could just tell them, “You will love Jesus, and you will like it!” Well, we all know that’s not how it works.
I just had a vision as we were worshipping of a door that seemingly shut and sealed. And then I saw a picture of a key, and on this key was written the word ‘wisdom’.
And the Lord would say, “Don’t you know I have heard your cries in the night? For there is much tumult all around you. And there is so much swirling and so many decisions to make that you can’t even seem to clear your mind and clear your heart to know which direction you should go. But I would say, I am coming to tell you exactly what to do.
Our human nature seems to instinctively gravitate towards people who are similar to us—age, race, social status, family, interests, etc. There is nothing inherently wrong with this; a lot of comfort and encouragement comes from shared knowledge and experiences.
