WORSHIP TEAM

The worship team is very important in all churches. I have seen many worship leaders pray for his or her team in the churches. Many times, the worship team draws in the Spirit of God and the Power of the Holy Spirit into the church, which is very, very good. That is one of the reasons for all of us to attend church, so we can have relationship with the Lord Jesus and the Power of the Holy Spirit. The worship leader has a big responsibility for the church’s members and his or her worship team.
The worship team is not considered an entertainer for the church, but to sing and worship the Lord with their mind, body and soul. Maybe I should say the accountability of the worship leader is very great. He must pray to God, so protection will be upon his or her worship team group. We as members must always pray for the worship team and the leader of the group, by applying the Lord’s precious blood upon them and asking the Lord to bless them, because sometimes, they are the first ones to get hit from the Demonic Spirits. “I call it the Front Line.” Sometimes, I can see in a vision a big black blob passing in the front of the worship team while they are singing and worshiping the Lord.
Every so often, people have asked me, Pastor Jimmy, can Demonic Spirits enter into any churches? My answer was yes. Satan was able to approach our Lord Jesus Christ as written in our bible. (NLT) Luke 4: 5- 12 Then Devil took him up and revealed to him all kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6 The Devil told him, “I will give you the glory of these kingdoms and authority over them- because they are mine to give anyone I please. 7 I will give it all to you if you bow down and worship me.” 8 Jesus replied, “The Scriptures say, ‘You must worship the Lord your God; serve only him.’*” 9 Then the Devil took him to Jerusalem, to highest point of the Temple, and said, “If you are the Son of God, jump off! 10 For the Scriptures say, ‘He orders his angels to protect and guard you. 11 And they will hold you with their hands to keep you from striking your foot on a stone’*” 12 Jesus responded, “The Scriptures also say, ‘Do not test the Lord your God’*” As you can see we are NOTHING; however, if we have Jesus Christ within our heart and truly believe that He is the Son of God than we become SOMETHING in Christ. Don’t you all agree with me? If you all agree with me, say Amen!!!
Many times, we as a Christians have bible studies, which is very good, to learn and understand God’s words. We must all teach one another and help each other, that is the true Christian in Christ. Don’t you agree with me? Every so often, people have asked me, Pastor Jimmy what church is considered good? My answer was any church that comes in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ is good. It doesn’t matter whether they have 10 or 500 members, because we are not running for any popularity contest, but to worship and please the Lord Jesus Christ, not man. Does it make sense to you? Are you with me so far? If agree with me? Amen!!!
The moral of this message is to ask God to bless the worship team leader and every member in the church.
