Music Ministry Revival part94

Music Ministry Revival is at hand! Yet, their will be a myriad of Music Workshops this season. The workshops and conference provide many opportunities to receive a Music Ministry education. ( GMWA, GMA, GHF,  Conference, Gospel Heritage Praise & Worship Conference, Purpose Driven Worship Conference and Festival, Integrity Worship Institute, Willow Creek Arts Conference, Institute for Worship Studies, Click here: Worship Links - Conferences )

The conferences provide a church sanctioned mechanism for networking, borrowing choir and  praise team trends, keyboard licks, multimedia innovation, and song distribution. The conventions also provide music collaboration across  denominational, regional, racial and music styles differences. The Music traditions in the church are borrowed. The secular music tradition may stir the ire of sacred music purist. In addition, the Music in the church is shaped by tradition, culture and contemporary practice. The music mentors pass their music viewpoint to protégés from their borrowed music lineage. Some of our present day practices deny the power of God.  Regional Music clout usually crowns music leadership. Mega church platforms, CD, DVD, and stadium attendance may confirm viable market appeal.

Israel HoughtonI'm not hating. I'm just challenging the prevailing system and status quo. The music mentors pass their music viewpoint to protégés from their borrowed music lineage. Bobby Jones may be a good example of Music Leadership attributed to technological innovation of Cable TV. Also, this trend may also be confirmed by Israel Houghton meteoric rise. Israel Houghton's' rise is from leading praise and worship in church, to a recording contract. I'm not hating!. I am not hating. I'm just challenging the  prevailing music system and music status quo. We need balance!

The balanced message to the Music Industry is " 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." 31-32Then Jesus turned to the Jews who had claimed to believe in him. "If you stick with this, living out what I tell you, you are my disciples for sure. Then you will experience for yourselves the truth, and the truth will free you." We need balance. The music triad alone will not set men free. The Triad of knowledge, understanding and wisdom will attain Truth. Music Conventions and conventional music alone, robs us of the truth. Truth may be stretched, but cannot be broken, and always gets above falsehood, as oil does above water Miguel de Cervantes quote. Truth is fallen in the street...” - Isaiah 59:15 KJV

If Music Ministry Revival is at hand! Will the prevailing Music Agenda, CD project, Convention, top 10, Church preaching and teaching produce Music Ministry Revival. "Revival is when God comes to town", said Duncan Williams. The power of your Music Performance is not sufficient evidence of truth. The Music Ministry can Ghost Write a gospel music "hit" without ever having a relationship with God. The apparent deception is, the Music Ministry may fill a stadium without being filled with the Holy Spirit. The water of our tears and sweat "performance" is no substitute for the baptism of the Holy Spirit. John 1:That is why I came here baptizing with water, giving you a good bath and scrubbing sins from your life so you can get a fresh start with God." That is why I came here baptizing with water, giving you a good bath and scrubbing sins from your life so you can get a fresh start with God." Divine revelation does not necessarily come from our Music Conventions and education. Divine revelation nurtures relationship with the Sovereign. Music Education alone may nurture the hierarchy of the borrowed customs, traditions and knowledge. Psalm 75 7-8 God rules: he brings this one down to his knees, pulls that one up on her feet. Psalm 76:6 For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.  7 But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another. 

The power of our Music Convention and our unconventional Music is not sufficient evidence of truth. The first step toward finding God, Who is Truth, is to discover the truth. God is truth. Repent! You must be born again, to inherit the Kingdom. Repent! Turn from your conventions and conventional thoughts. 

Repent! The Kingdom of God is at hand! Music Ministry Revival is at hand! And the captives of the Music mighty shall be silenced. I cry out from the wilderness. Behold. He comes! He who is able to turn the Music Industry into the Music Kingdoms of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And the Music Government shall be upon His shoulder. And the Music Industry will call Him Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Prince of Peace. 

I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.
John 3:3, NLT
