Corporate praise and worship is more than a preliminary to preaching. It is not a part of a program or a ritual. It is not a performance or a showcase of musical talent. We are to be a living, breathing army of worshippers who tear down strongholds through our demonstration of praise every week at Radford Worship Center. Praise is declaring to the principalities, powers, and rulers of darkness what God has done, is doing, and will do. We are called to demonstrate what Jesus carried out at Calvary, a demonstration that is manifested by the words we speak and by our obedience to God’s Word. Praise creates an atmosphere where faith can be fueled. Faith creates an atmosphere of expectancy where miracles can happen. Miracles then glorify God!

 

Corporate worship is more than a soft, pretty song or melody. It is our responsibility to lead God’s people into His manifested presence, educating them not only on how to get into God’s presence but also on how to make worship their lifestyle. Worship is a lifestyle response to a holy, omnipotent God. If praise is declaring what God has done, is doing, or will do, then worship is declaring (and living) who God is. If we do not know who God is, we cannot worship Him in spirit and truth. Our corporate worship should be a natural extension of the relationship we have with God when we are alone. When we join together in one accord to worship the Lord as the singers and musicians did in II Chronicles 5:13 – 14, we believe that the tangible presence of Almighty God will fill the sanctuary resulting in changed, transformed, and renewed lives.

 

Therefore, we, the music ministry of this church, have an awesome responsibility. We are worship leaders. Though we seek technical skill, we are to be wholly dependent on the anointing of the Holy Spirit for every note we play, operating in excellence and anointing at the same time. The expressions on our faces and the enthusiasm we show will inspire the congregation to begin to praise God and to enter into an expression of worship and a demonstration of praise. When the Body of Christ begins to worship and praise in one accord, the Lord can move in a mighty way, often manifesting Himself in healing, deliverance and salvation.

 

 

We are a music ministry that believes in the power and presence of the Holy Spirit. We accept the mantle and responsibility the Lord has placed on us to be examples of Pentecostal believers not only in music, but by our actions, attitudes and appearance.

 

Above all else, we desire to be used of the Lord to sing His praises, to minister under the power of the Spirit of God and to witness His touch and change in the lives of those to whom we minister as we press on to pastor our community and evangelize the world!

Where there is no revelation (vision), the people cast off restraint; but blessed is he who keeps the law.

Proverbs 29:18

Ephesians 6:12 – “This is not a wrestling match against a human opponent. We are wrestling with rulers, authorities, the powers who govern this world of darkness, and spiritual forces that control evil in the heavenly world.”

1 John 3:8 – “…The reason that the Son of God appeared was to destroy what the devil does.”

Proverbs 18:21 – “The tongue has the power of life and death…”

1 Samuel 15:22 – “Is the LORD as delighted with burnt offerings and sacrifices as He would be with your obedience? To follow instructions is better than to sacrifice. To obey is better than sacrificing the fat of rams.”

John 4:24 – “God is spirit. Those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

II Chronicles 5:13 – 14 – “…the trumpeters and singers praised and thanked the LORD in unison. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals, and other musical instruments, they sang in praise to the LORD: ‘He is good; His mercy endures forever.’ Then the LORD’s temple was filled with a cloud. The priests couldn’t serve because of the cloud. The LORD’s glory filled God’s temple.
