WHERE HAVE ALL OF THE PRAISE AND WORSHIP TEAMS GONE IN THE CHURCH TODAY?

SOME CHURCHES ARE OPTING TO NOT HAVE A PRAISE AND WORSHIP TEAM DUE TO TOO MUCH DRAMA (PRIDE, STRIFE, DIVISION, ETC.)

There are now some churches who won't even have a worship team in order to avoid such aforementioned conflict in the church! This may seem like a GOOD Idea which will eliminate "the drama", but I do not believe it is necessarily a GOD Idea. Removing a Praise and Worship Team is NOT God's BEST because He desires to use anointed music as a weapon against our Nemesis, Satan, and his minions. Please allow me to share my heart on what I believe is an important matter-- particularly vital as a powerful weapon against the enemy in this final hour of Spiritual Warfare.

I believe that not having Praise and Worship Teams in The Household of Faith is NOT God's Desire for His People. Why do I believe this? Because I believe that live praise and worship, with an anointed Praise and Worship Leader (and team) who lives a holy, sanctified lifestyle and seeks the leading of the Holy Spirit in prayer, can be used to usher in the Presence of The Holy Spirit. Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty and the P&W Leader is able to prepare the hearts of the Saints and may even be prompted by The Holy Spirit to "Prophecy in Word or Song" during the worship service. When The Spirit of God is present, the Congregation experiences great liberty and this allows everyone to also experience miracles, signs and wonders; Word of Knowledge, Healing and Deliverance and Prophecy & The Interpretation, just to name a few. In short, God desires to use a Praise and Worship Team to usher in the Presence of The Holy Spirit. And I truly believe the Body of Christ will experience the holy fires of heaven and revival will come in individuals and corporately. Selah!

THE DEVIL DESPISES IT WHEN GOD'S PEOPLE WORSHIP WITH SUCH GREAT LIBERTY AND POWER - SOMETHING HE WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO EXPERIENCE AGAIN FOR ALL ETERNITY! THIS IS WHY HE ATTACKS THE MUSIC MINISTRY IN THE CHURCHES. PRAISE AND WORSHIP NEEDS TO BE SAFEGUARDED FROM THE ENEMY'S ATTEMPTS TO CONTAMINATE, PERVERT, OR DRIVE OUT THE PRAISE AND WORSHIP OF GOD'S PEOPLE. (I believe this is why we MUST worship God in SPIRIT and TRUTH! This is something the enemy CAN NEVER DUPLICATE! Satan can only attempt to cause issues of pride, strife, grief and division. When The Church Leadership sees this happening, this is when EVERYONE needs to be hitting their knees and praying fervently for The Worship Team! SATAN KNOWS THERE IS GREAT POWER IN PRAISE AND WORSHIP - THIS IS WHY HE ALWAYS TARGETS THE WORSHIP TEAM IN CHURCHES. We CANNOT surrender (hand over) THE WORSHIP TEAM BECAUSE IT IS A GREAT WEAPON AGAINST SATAN IN SPIRITUAL WARFARE! SAFEGUARD- PROTECT- SHIELD AND COVER- BUT DO NOT WAVE A WHITE FLAG IN SURRENDER WHEN THE CHALLENGES ARISE!

I pray this inspires, challenges and blesses you today. The Body of Christ WILL rise up in this final hour with great power as we unite with the Weapon of Praise and Worship! Be blessed and be a blessing in the mighty Name of Jesus Christ! Selah and Amen!

Love, blessings and prayers,
