Spirit Led Worship

Spirit Led Worship

Worship leading under the direction of the Holy Spirit is less talked about than any other aspect of running a worship team. There are many conferences, and a plethora of books and videos available to Music Directors, regarding the best way to maximize the potential of the team, how to deal with personalities, about excellence and practice techniques, about you as a leader, coordinating the band, how to encourage your team, and so the list goes on. These are the workings or mechanics of running the team. When it actually comes down to learning to work with the Holy Spirit, there is a large silent pause.

In John 16:14, Jesus, speaking of the Holy Spirit, explains:

“He will glorify me, for He will take what is mine and declare it to you.” – John 16:14 ESV

Given that it is the Holy Spirit who both glorifies God and reveals God’s glory to us, surely He should be in charge of our worship. Who better to help us worship as we ought? Who better to lead us into perfect praise?

In this book you will learn how to better follow the Holy Spirit and navigate the anointing flow. You will also gain a better understanding of what true Biblical worship should look like and how to raise up your team in the anointing. Includes bonus section by Mark Virkler - author and teacher of: "5 Keys to Hearing God's Voice".

This insightful book is a superb correlation of all the lessons the Holy Spirit has taught Karen over the years. It is through these lessons that Karen hopes that others will go on further than she ever did, bypassing the same mistakes, to run hand in hand with the Holy Spirit to even greater heights.

Dr Mark Virkler writes:

“Spirit Led Worship by Karen M. Gray is training that is much in demand in the church of Christ. I believe we all understand there is a difference between singing songs to God, and entering into His presence where we worship before His throne, and are touched and transformed by His presence.

People come to church wanting to have an encounter with God. Will we offer them one? This heavenly encounter should be experienced in every part of the service. This includes the preaching, the worship, the body ministry and the release of the gifts of the Holy Spirit

Karen’s book trains you how to effectively be a Spirit-led worshipper who can lead a congregation into the presence of God to be touched and healed by Him. This book is both practical and spiritual. Karen covers every aspect of Spirit-led worship from the pre-service prayer, to the what and why we are even singing. We are here to come before His throne and worship along with the heavenly hosts.

John saw this heavenly host worshipping in Revelation chapter four. The nice thing about the Bible is that it is meant to be lived. If John can do this, so can we. Spirit-led worship will train you how to fix your eyes upon Jesus as you worship, sense the moving of His Spirit both individually and corporately, and move with His leading. Now church becomes fun, because it is a living encounter with the living God!

Read, learn, and practice the principles Karen shares and make your personal and corporate worship times encounters with your heavenly Father.

Thank you, Karen, for this very unique, very special and much needed book on the “how to’s” of Spirit Led Worship. May you as a reader of this book be led to participate in Spirit-led worship.
