I have been praying about the importance of really believing what we sing "To Come To Pass" just as we do in prayer.
Most Christians pray a specific prayer because they want to see God move in a specific way, but so many times in my experience of watching people during a worship service, is that often singing a song that may have a very specific and powerful request, for example songs like "Open the Eyes of My Heart," "Draw Me Close To You" or "Change My Heart O God," can be sung with more like wishful thinking (or singing in this case). And if we are not careful we can even sound like a young man sweet talking a young lady and saying anything to win her heart, even saying things that aren't true. And let me add there is no way to over exaggerate God's greatness and beauty, but I am speaking of singing with great fantasy and not really believing everything we sing, so because our unbelief or maybe even immaturity we are not seeing God answer what we are singing.
I have seen so many people sing great and some of the most powerful "Prayers" that you know God would answer if they would actually truly believe.
Psalm 119:171-172171 "My lips will pour forth praise, for you ,teach me your statutes. 172 My tongue will sing of your word, for all your commandments are right." These are the words of David.
David is our prime example of one worship leader that God called "A Man After My Own Heart," he sung his way through the good and bad times and saw God answer many of his songs.
Our time in the worship service is another form of a prayer meeting, where we can seek God and cry out to the Lord and have him answer our singing. I pray that we all can approach the worship service with great faith and carefulness and that we make sure that what we sing is related to the word of God, and then we can see God move in our worship services on another level. I can look back upon my life and tell you about worship services where I belive I grew in the Lord.
