Worship Violently and Let His FIRESONG Arise within You!

July 27, 2010

Dear Victorious Worshipers:

One of my passions is to worship the Lord!  I love it when the Body of Christ expresses violent praise.  Freedom is linked with worship. We now have an incredible DVD that shows you the violent worship that God’s people must enter into at this time in history.  FIRESONG: The Darkness is Turning looses a sound that brings forth a movement of passion and freedom. 

This is an example of music, sound, and violent worship.  LeAnn Squier sings “He answers me by fire!  I see the darkness is turning!”  The Lord said that “the Kingdom is filled with violence, and the violent take it by force.” However, many of us cannot visualize what this looks like. FIRESONG: The Darkness is Turning is the best example I have seen of this statement.  You can preview this DVD by clicking HERE

The Kingdom Suffers Violence and the Violent Take “IT” by Force!
I believe the Lord is requiring our worship to become more violent. Kingdoms are clashing. We, a people of God, will take the earth by forceful worship. Violent worship overcomes violence in the natural because the atmosphere around us changes.  In addition to the music, FIRESONG includes teaching on how new sound is coming down from heaven, and how the sounds of heaven causes the earth to align with heaven.  We have also included interviews and other special features to make this DVD something you will want to invest in. 

 Don’t miss this presentation which many of you saw portions of on Sunday morning.  The singing … the drumming …the dancing of the peoples and cultures will all stir you to carry the fire of the Lord in a new way! Play it over and over until the sound and expression builds in you.  You can order FIRESONG for the special price of $8 (regularly $12) by going to our webstore or by calling 1-888-965-1099 or 1-940-382-7231.

What is VIOLENT PRAISE? 
I am getting several questions about Violent Praise.  Violence means vehement, forcible, or destructive action, often involving infringement, outrage, or assault.  Matthew 11:12-13 says, “And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.” In the phrase, "the kingdom of heaven suffers violence," a share in the heavenly kingdom is sought for with the most ardent zeal and the most intense exertion. The NIV reads, "The kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it."  There is a sound and expression that will help you attain God's best and wrest all of what God has for you from the enemy's hands.

Praise comes from a Latin word meaning “value” or “price.” To give praise to God is to proclaim His merit or worth in every situation that we find ourselves encountering. You can shout “Glory!”  You can release blessing!  Your heart can express thanksgiving!  In this crisis time, we must learn to bring praise and the acknowledgement of God into every circumstance of our life.  If we do this, God will enthrone Himself in the midst of our circumstances, and He will take on any strategy the enemy is using to bind, block and captivate us.  This is a time to remove the enemy’s upper hand from controlling our inheritance.   

Praise includes offering of sacrifices (Lev. 7:13), physical movement (2 Sam. 6:14), silence and meditation (Ps. 77:11-12), testimony (Ps. 66:16), prayer (Phil. 4:6) and a holy life (1 Pet. 1:3-9).  Each one of these expressions can become violent when you are determined to advance in God’s Kingdom plan.  Praise is linked to music, both instrumental (Ps. 150:3-5) and vocal. Praise includes spontaneous outbursts of thanksgiving for some redemptive act of God (Ex. 15; Judg. 5, 1 Sam. 2, Luke 1:46-55, 67-79).  Praise also includes formal psalms and hymns adapted for corporate worship (2 Chron. 29:30) and church (Col. 3:16).  Praise should be a heart expression and not an outward show (Matt. 15:8).

This is not a season for the Body of Christ to be passive.  Here are some great examples where the Israelites expressed violent praise.  The Israelites expressed violent praise at Jericho.  Gideon expressed violent praise over the Midianites.  Paul and Silas expressed violent praise that shook them out of prison.  Don’t worry about what to say - just let your heart respond to God for He IS Worthy!  Psalm 81:10 says, “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt; open your mouth wide, I will fill it.”

The restoration of David’s Tabernacle is advancing in the earth realm in this generation.  You should read Amos 9 as well as Acts 15, and then the book of Revelation.  One expresses prophetically, another expresses historically, and the latter reveals to us the present expression of the war in the heavens. When you read more closely, you see how we, as God’s army in the earth, will co-labor with the Host of Heaven to express a Holy God’s overcoming power throughout the nations of the earth. This will unlock a global harvest. Your violent praise is preparing a storehouse for Kingdom harvest.  

As you praise “violently,” you are releasing the Roar of the Lord that has been held captive in God’s people.  Let me explain the “Roar of the Lord.”  God’s sound permeates from heaven and orders much of what goes on in the earthly realm. When He is ready to bring restoration to Earth, He releases His sound.  Judah goes first!  Judah roars!  The roar of God is within us.  Judah means praise Yahweh. Do not resist the major shift that is re-creating the way we worship and acknowledge God corporately. Yahweh signifies the God of covenant.   When we worship, we express value for the covenant that He has allowed us to enter into with Him. What a price He paid to give us access to the Throne Room!  

Our worship will release great blessings into the earthly realm. The redeemed of the Lord will say “SO.” This is a time when the burning bush, “I AM,” type of worship is coming into the midst of God’s people. This is going to release a deliverance call across Earth.  When the ROAR of the Lord goes forth a prophetic mantle falls (Amos 3). Let the Roar of the Lord loose that is deep within you.  This will enable you to hear clearly for your future.  There will be an anointing to open your “ears.” 

You will sense the Lord will break hidden grief that has kept your joy capped.  Shout “Glory!”  Release blessings! Express thanksgiving!  Everywhere you walk from this day forward release an atmosphere of praise that will defeat the enemy!

Seeing Beyond

http://gloryofzion.org/webstore/ProdImages/Music_CD_TheDarknessTurns_bg.jpg
Glory of Zion International pulled aside in the month of August to hear a new sound. I heard the Lord say these words, "THINKING AND SEEING BEYOND!" I knew He was saying we must go into the Throne Room past anything that has hindered us in the past, and press to hear His word for the next season.

Never before have I heard blended songs of the three generations coming forward like these that have been captured on this CD. You will hear the release of heaven's spontaneous worship. Then you will hear songs that were developed. The song "Dance, Dance, Dance" will blow you away! You will be swept into a tremendous emotional release as you listen to "Teach Us How To Pray" and "Kingdom Come." From the wild war sound of "Speed the Spoil" to LeAnn Squier's "Heaven’s Wings" which covers you with the peace of heaven, this CD will help you go beyond your last place. Isaac Pierce's song for all of the prodigals who cry I want to be "Clean!" is an amazing sound for an amazing time.

Letting Go

http://gloryofzion.org/webstore/ProdImages/Music_CD_TheDarknessTurns_bg.jpg
There is a sound in the throne room of Heaven that calls to us in the earth to let go and worship. One of our most difficult calls in life is to LET GO and LET GOD. LeAnn Squier has captured that sound of release. Letting Go is one of the most beautiful expressions of freedom and joy that I have ever heard. Imagine yourself floating through space or walking on water. This Gospel Music Association award winner for Songwriter of the Year helps to bring Heaven's expression into your living room, car, bedroom, office and heart. The songs and sounds on this project are a must to help us lose control of our desire and experience HIS desire for us. We invite you to enter in with One Magnificent Song, let your heart be exposed, let the thoughts of your mind be released, and let your hands be raised in surrender to the King of all kings. The special sound that has been achieved on Blackbird expresses the cry of a nation for freedom. This song, written by the Beatles about the cry of a young Black girl for freedom in the 1960s, was chosen by LeAnn well before this election season. The prophetic dimension of this compilation of songs for this time surpasses most worship expressions in this day and hour. Savor the sound of Letting GO!

Descending Into Triumph

http://gloryofzion.org/webstore/ProdImages/Music_CD_TheDarknessTurns_bg.jpg
True worshippers are those who worship in Spirit and in truth.  When we find this place in Him, we find reality. When we come to the end of a season, we must have a mentality of TRIUMPH.  Descending in Triumph is profound!  The music that the Glory of Zion International Worship Team has brought forth will amaze you.  You have to “GO UP” to “GO FORTH” in TRIUMPH!  This collection has some awesome songs to propel you into the future.  “Sing Oh Barren One” (Hannah’s Song) by Tiffany & Aaron Smith stirs your heart to break forth in song and break out of desolation.  “Strike the Doorpost,” led by John Dickson, is an incredible song that reminds you that we can praise our way through every entry way or new gate that we come to throughout the year.  LeAnn Squier and Chad Foxworth remind us with a new rendition of “Amazing Grace” that even though we’ve been through many trials, His grace has always been there and will be there to keep us going forth this year.  Many other prophetic utterances and new songs will cause your faith to come alive and give you new strength to move forward.
