Excerpt from my 1st book that is in process, "Help Wanted: Worship Leader". This excerpt is as follows. Are you the one or do we look for another? Those were the words that a disciple of John the baptist asked Jesus in Matt 11:1-5. John was in Herod's prison having laid his life on the line. Jesus reply was not the typical reply because he never offered any education credentials or rank, position or title. He simply gave an historical account of what the Father did when people were in need of the Father as they stood before Him.
What do the people need from the Father when you stand before them with your microphone or and/or instrument? In what Jesus has done in your life through His silent visits to you, will you facilitate the Father's kingdom ? Do we look for another? The answer to that question is something that needs to be answered in your invisible profile of who you are. Your kingdom profile can be compared to the ingredients in a cake. Established ingredients that when put together in the right quantity and qualities are served to those who will taste it as something complete as compared to the individual ingredients that alone would not taste anything like a cake. Your worship leader profile will have communion with God, interaction with God's Word, love for others, submitted lifestyle, spiritual gifts and prophesy rolled together with overcoming, losses, vision, aspiration, faith, dreams and visions, miracles and sins, that satisfactorily should make my point. That's you now before the people waiting for you to turn this venue into a heavenly place filled with the Father. The music and songs selected will not surpass what you facilitate in the next 15 minutes, 1/2 hour, hour or 2. It's your connection with the Father's ability to visit the place you are in and love on His people. It's your collective identity filled with God's mercy for you and all those present.
