I had a very vivid dream. It was a Shepherd’s Rod (prophetic direction) type dream. My 70th birthday is tomorrow (November 3rd) and I’d asked the Lord for that type of dream for my birthday. And He did it.
I woke up from it at 3:41 am this morning. That number is important to me.
That number means “You’re in the right place at the right time and Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (3) are For (4) You (1).”
I’ve always been drawn to music and worship music even as a child. As I grew up and my own ministry developed and I had conferences, God had me honor worship as the priority. And to take care of my worship leaders as a priority. Because they are the ones He uses to prepare the people and the atmosphere and open Heaven’s doors for us to hear from Him.
My heart has been greatly grieved over the years to see many ministries turn the worship platform into a rock concert. Not a place to lead the people in worship and into Heaven’s presence. And they would shut Worship down just as it was getting into a holy place. So sad.
When I studied the Bible about the Levites, they were appointed as the primary worship leaders in the temple.
They were responsible for singing, playing musical instruments, and leading the community in praise. Not entertain. They are called worship leaders because that’s what they were supposed to do. Lead people in true worship of the Lord. And all they were permitted to have was what was provided for them.
It grieved me to see that much of the the church just considered them as their non important opening act. And financially the speakers were paid huge salaries while the worship leaders and teams had to scrape by to make it.
God didn’t let me do that. He had me make it the focus of every conference I put forth. He had me provide everything for the Worship Leader and their teams. Their travel, rooms, food, and offerings. And He told me to let them have their freedom to do worship until the Lord said to quit because they were preparing the way for the rest of the meeting.
No time limit. And they were the ones who would hear God‘s voice about what that time limit was.
Additionally, I had their sessions professionally taped and given to them as a gift so that they would be able to make a CD out of their session which would help to provide finances for them as they went forward. Those CDs they made are still incredibly anointed
to this day!
In the dream I just had, I was visiting friends in Moravian Falls, NC. We had gone to a meeting together, where that group dishonored Worship by cutting it off and gave platform to their latest speakers as if they were movie stars. We were grieved.
Then the Lord appeared to me and said it was time to go get the true Worship Leaders one by one who had been shoved aside and bring them into place.
He had me explain that to and tell my friends that they were in place for such a time as this to even help obtain buildings as worship centers throughout the region to do so.
The buildings may be businesses, but they would also be Worship centers.
God is going to also do this throughout the nation and bring the true worship leaders forward for such a time as this. Worship leaders will not have to pay for the building. It would be provided. There will be a great move of God in each spot as He does so.
True Worship is the key. Not rock concerts. And the restoration of His healing anointing will also spread forth from there as a result.
He specifically mentioned certain shoved aside worship leaders names He would use in this capacity. But there are others. Many others.
Modern day Levites called forth and provided for, for such a time as this.
