Last night we had some youth who are not Christians come to band practice. As they sung along to the worship songs just like karaoke, they apparently started to feel better and get in a better mood. Was it just the sound of the music? Was it the video that flashed up on the screen with the songs? Was it they just liked to sing? Or was it something deeper.

I keep hearing it said that "The Lord dwells in the praises of His people." (I cant find that exact verse but if you know where it is or one like it please let me know...) So, if God is amongst His praises then He was there last night and one reason why they were feeling better could have been because God was touching them. Infact, I am convinced that as they sung God touched them and they drew nearer to Him.

Now, heres something thats not totally related but I'll say it anyway. Alot of people bag out churches like Planetshakers. I even use to do it for a short time. Its all about the music they say, or its all hype etc. But its not. The other night at a Bible study almost everyone in the room (and we were all of different ages) said that Planetshakers changed our lives! And to add to that Me and the others all said that it was during a worship time when we heard God say something to us.

So, lets keep worshipping God through music as He comes and lives among us as we sing His praise. I think its a great way of getting people saved and I think the churches with big numbers would all agree!

Also, GO FOR SOULS CONFERENCE is in one month. Cost $10. Get there. Save some souls!

It is awesome isnt it. I know a lady who had a long histroy of abuse and drug addiction etc she used to love to come and sit at the back of the hall while the worship team practised as she said it made her feel better inside.
