Ministry Through Music

You know what I really love??? I love when music ministers to you!

There is nothing like turning on a praise and worship song to uplift you. Sometimes this is a song you have heard over and over and over again. Sometimes this is a song that you are hearing for the first time.

I have been putting off going to buy the Jonathan Nelson cd for several weeks now. I heard his song My Name is Victory for the first time when they sang it at church and I loved it! It speaks about being victorious in God and know who you are.

God gave me AUTHORITY
To conquer THE ENEMY
He wrote in MY DESTINY
That my name is VICTORY
He said that I've OVERCOME
I know I've ALREADY WON
He wrote in my DESTINY
That my name is VICTORY

I don't know about you, but those words just send an amazing chill through me. Knowing we have the authority to do things above and beyond what most of us can believe or even imagine is so awesome! Yes, I said awesome!

Another song that really got to me this weekend is by James Fortune, I'll Trust You. When going to buy the other CD I came across this one and it is equally amazing. I was watching this documentary on him a few weeks back on BET. He came through a lot in his life and never lost faith or trust in God. He was a hard headed kid who lived of this world (who wasn't at one point), but he came out of it got saved and trusted God for ALL things. I trust God, but I admit there are times when I want results ASAP and if I don't get them I start to lose hope. I have gotten so much better at not doing that, but it's all apart of growing in Christ!

even though i can't see
and i can't feel your touch
i will trust you lord
how i love you so much
though my nights my seem long
and i feel so alone
lord my trust is in you
i surrender to you

so many painful thoughts
travel through my mind
and i wonder how
i will make it through this time

but i trust you
lord it's not easy
sometimes the pain in my life
makes you seem far away
but i'll trust you
i need to know you're here
through the tears and the pain
through the heartache and rain

I really do love when music can minister to you. There is nothing like the feeling of an amazing praise and worship song playing in the background and your bible on your lap while you are laying on your couch!

Find something that inspires you to dig deeper in the word. This can be a song or whatever it is that gets you in the word. Just continue to grow every day in Christ!!

Have a blessed day! I'm about to turn on this CD and get some work done today!
