Music Ministry Revival part102

Music Ministry Revival is at hand! The next wave of revival will be a Tsunami-singing revival. Every (revival) move of God is accompanied by a wave of Music "Evangelist". If you want to perceive the temperature of the revival , look at the move of music in the region.  

Conversely, the next move of the principalities, powers and rulers will be evidenced in the Music Cosmos.

Are the new and  latest music idioms a move of God? Is the new music a forecast of the demonic or Soverign?

Thomas Aquinas, in the introduction to his commentary on the Psalms, defined the Christian hymn thus: "Hymnus est laus Dei cum cantico; canticum autem exultatio mentis de aeternis habita, prorumpens in vocem." ("A hymn is the praise of God with song; a song is the exultation of the mind dwelling on eternal things, bursting forth in the voice.")

Music Ministry Revival is a three pronged movement. 

  • Repentance

  • Prevailing Prayer

  • Prevailing Word

When the Musician plays, they reflect and forecast the movement in the earth. Marshall McLuhan: "high priest of pop-culture" and author of "The Medium is the Message". McLuhan's career was the task of understanding the effects of technology as it related to popular culture, and how this in turn affected human beings and their relations with one another in communities. Todd Kappelman. There is a movement on earth that seeks to rival Gods' Kingdom movement on earth. Every movement on earth has agents on earth which create momentum for the movement. The agents create a momentum, movement and a revolution. Remember, we wrestle not against flesh (agents) and blood, but against principalities, powers and rulers. Behind every music high priest of narcism, sadomasochistic, sex, and perversion there is a principality, powers and ruler. 

However, behind every Music Ministry Revival there is an even greater High Priest, Jesus.

Hebrews 4:15 (The Message)14-16 Now that we know what we have—Jesus, this great High Priest with ready access to God—let's not let it slip through our fingers. We don't have a priest who is out of touch with our reality. He's been through weakness and testing, experienced it all—all but the sin. So let's walk right up to him and get what he is so ready to give. Take the mercy, accept the help

Music Ministry Revival seeks to

  • identify the movements

  • identify the human agents ("high priest of pop-culture") of the movement

  • Create a counter weight movement. Create a movement of God by fasting and the prayer of intersession

Music Ministry Revival is not going to be ushered in by the Hymn-lite singing and praise and worship. Music Ministry Revival is a three pronged movement. 

  • Repentance

  • Prevailing Prayer

  • Prevailing Word

The Music Ministry Revival will be ushered in when the heart of the Minstrel matches the heart of God. When the Minstrel heart matches God heart. The Minstrel will play then the hand of God will come upon the Prophet, nations, and music cosmos.

2 Kings 3:15 (The Message) But considering—bring me a minstrel." (When a minstrel played, the power of God came on Elisha.)  (War with Moab, The intercession of Elisha.)2 Kings 3:15 (King James Version) 15But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the LORD came upon him. When the minstrel played, the hand of the Lord came upon Elisha--God moved to give His word and direction on this matter. 

Music Ministry Revival example

During the Salvation Army revival back in the 1880's.The men that would sit in the back seats,....but they would get so worried when the old preacher William Booth was preaching one of his hell-fire messages, that they shred their hymn books.  Begby, in his definitive work on William Booth, in the first volume I think, talks about the holiness meetings. And he said, "When the Holy Ghost came down and men resisted the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of God would lift people from the back of the sanctuary and carry them over the audience and drop them at the altar." And we think we've seen everything because two or three people get healed. Leonard Ravenhill

The Music Ministry War Cry is not carnal but mighty to the pulling down of the Music Strongholds. Power is not in the Hymn-lite, or the 15 minutes of praise and worship presentation. Music Ministry Revival power come when the anointing of God rest on a Musician music and breaks strongholds and dominions in the Music Village. 

Welsh Revival 1904

  • Even children began organizing their own religious meetings, and communal hymn singing ('Cymanfa Ganu'), Bible reading and Temperance were now the favoured activities of many people across the country. 
  • As a result, chapel building received a boost. Singing in particular had a prominent place, echoing the prophetic words of the famous musician Joseph Parry (composer of the love song 'Myfanwy') who said that "the next revival will be a singing revival." 
  • And the hymn that soloist struck up spontaneously about "love vast as the ocean" was heard so often thatit became known as "the love song of the revival."
  • Probably this was chiefly due to the spirit which a company of colliery workmen - black faces, working clothes, and boxes and jacks - imparted when they dropped into the meeting on their way home... and started in a spirited manner the songs of the revival, creating a fervour which did not flag during the remainder of the meeting.
  • Meetings like it were taking place across Wales night after night, with fervent prayer and passionate singing - and similar disregard for the clock
 
Music Ministry Revival Example

GLORY, GLORY, HALLELUJAH!
Music, song and worship were at the heart of the 1904 Welsh Revival

The 1904 Welsh Revival is one of the best documented and best known revivals of all, and certainly one of the most powerful. Over a period of two years, the fire of the Holy Spirit swept over the whole principality, and was carried by visiting pastors to Norway, Japan, America, India, South Africa and Korea, where further revivals broke out.
At its height, churches stayed open for 24 hours a day, with souls praying earnestly to God. Coal-miners rushed home at the end of a gruelling day to wash themselves and get to the chapel as quickly as they could. Hopeless drinkers and gamblers were powerfully converted and became soul-winners. Doubters and atheists were cut to the heart, sometimes physically unable to move until they cried to God for mercy.
The Welsh are also a very musical people, and worshipful singing was a feature of the revival. As the Holy Spirit moved, it was common to find part of the congregation singing a hymn in rapturous awe, while others were on the floor crying in agony for God's mercy. An eye-witness recalls: "Such marvellous singing, quite unrehearsed, could only be created by the Holy Spirit. No choir, no conductor, no organ - just spontaneous, unctionised soul-singing. Once the first hymn was given out, the meeting ran itself. There was no leader, but people felt an unseen control. Singing, sobbing, praying intermingled without intermission."
Singing was a fruit of the revival. Many of those powerfully filled by the Holy Spirit recorded their experiences, especially of how they trembled, laughed and sang for hours afterwards.
Evan Roberts himself felt singing to be of massive importance for the release of God's power. When a Londoner asked him one day if the revival could ever reach the capital, he smiled and asked, "Can you sing?"

I (We) prophesy to the 4 winds of heavens. Revival Angels come into the Music Ministry. Come,  Spirit of Music Ministry Revival. The Spirit of awakening come.  Come, Music Ministry Revival, Music Ministry harvest angels come. Music Ministry...angels of revival come... awaken Lord. Send your glory. Send your glory... send your glory and change the atmosphere in the Music Ministry. Fire of God come. Light of God come. Go forth Light of God. Breathe ... wind of God, breathe into the Music Ministry, now in Jesus name. 

The Music Ministry Revival will sink or swim based on its teamwork. Could teamwork among the Music Ministry solve:

  • The music Ministry assignment The Music Cosmos

  • World Hunger

  • A common agenda for Music Ministry Convention-leaders

  • Lower the increasing divorce rate among Music Ministry couples in their 40s, 50s, 60s and even the 70s

  • Music Ministry and AIDS and drug dependency

  • Control, Distribute , Produce CD for the general Music Ministry

  • Sexism, classism, racism in the Music Ministry

  • Affordable Senior Housing for the Music Ministry

  • Music Ministry pension funds

  • Retooling the the Music Ministry from Industrial Pipe Organ, organic Piano to electronic instruments

  • Institute Remedial music education program for the Music Ministry

  • Updating resume service for the Music Ministry who is out of work

  • Redeem rap music into Christ-centric rap Music
