On the Winds of Real Worship: Counting the Cost

I am starting this blog because I want to share the whispers that God speaks to me when I am leading worship, worshiping at home, and or in my car etc. I also am writing because I believe that we are about to embark on a great revival in our land. As things continue to get worse, people are running to the house of God like never before. Worship is one of the keys to this revival.

I will also be sharing what God lays on my heart about concepts, themes, and topics that go with the main topic, which is worshiping the Lord with our whole heart and strength!

I believe that worship prepares the heart for the Word of God before it is preached as commonly known by many. However, the act of true worship takes a person straight into the throne room of God where we are changed, strengthened, refreshed, and restored.

I believe that this God inspired creative worship will be this "new song or sound" that many church leaders, worship leaders, and musicians having been declaring. Just last Sunday during a quiet moment in worship, I heard the Lord say to me, "Go where no man has gone before." I did No, I am NOT talking about Star-wars. I am talking about complete abandonment to God in your worship. A worship that cries out You are the living God; You are able! This new song or sound is one that will be His people declaring who He is. It will ignite a fire and faith in our spirits.

So, I soaked in what he said and got excited. I am reminded of how often God will speak through me and say. "Come up!" during worship. Two weeks ago, I spoke "This is a no baggage trip. Come up! Let it all go and worship me. Come up!"

As I pondered starting this blog and what I feel the Lord is speaking to me about my appointment in this hour, I was reminded that I needed to count the costs. I deleted my shows on my DVR and am giving myself to more reading, more prayer, and more Word.

Like I said, this heavenly sound is one of the important keys to revival. Please join my blog, be blessed as you read my weekly posts (hopefully), and enjoy!

Song- Your Love (c) 2011 Ileana Reich

Title : Your Love


Verse One:
I’m running to my hiding place safe and secure
I reaching to my Savior’s arms, I trust and endure
Now I’m ready to climb the mountains
Now I’m ready to swim the deep seas,
Yes, I’m ready to face the giants
Because your love gives me peace

Chorus One:
Your love gives me peace
It’s your love that gives me peace
Stand and see the Salvation of God See the victory
Stand and see His mighty hand Covering you and me


Verse Two:
I’m coming to my secret place darkness has to flee
I’m standing in the holy place, Jesus calms my fears
Now I ‘m ready to walk in purpose
Now I’m ready to shout the victory
Yes I’m ready to face the giants
Because your love sets me free

Chorus Two:
Your love sets me free
It’s your love that sets me free
Stand and see the Salvation of God
See the victory
Stand and see His mighty hand touching you and me

Song- Nothing Too Great or Small (C) Ileana Reich

Verse 1
Bring your pain, bring your stains
Give them all to Jesus
Bring your cares, bring your doubts
Give them all to Jesus
Lay them down
He receives them all
Nothing is too great or too small
So bring them now

Chorus:
He healed the leper, made the blind to see
He walked on water and set the captives free
All things are possible to Him who believes
So bring them now

Verse 2
Bring your tears, bring your joy
Give them all to Jesus
Bring your praise, bring your gifts
Give them all to Jesus
Lay them down
He receives them all
Nothing is too great or too small
So bring them now

Chorus:
He healed the leper, made the blind to see
He walked on water and set the captives free
All things are possible to Him who believes
So bring them now.
