Tim i found it liberating
to just do what the Lord wants you
to do i work within his boundarys and yes i attend church and enjoy it.I
love the people and i
love hearing the word and worshipping the Lord even if
others are still bound up with traditions thats not my walk thats theres.My focus is
to do what the Lord wants me
to do.There have been times i have said no
to the pastor he does nt understand why i choose not
to lead the worship.i query him as well regarding the idea that its not just performing a function because there is a need our hearts have
to be in the right place so that the Lord can use us but he did nt understand where i was coming from and thats okay because of that i just said no until my heart is right i am better not being involved in
leading.But i am happy
to be an encouragement
to others in the worship team i havent wanted
to be the leader i have done that in the past.So my focus has been just the singing and being part of different worship teams i think the Lord has
other plans as the groups i am in seem
to be changing at the same time i am aware that i do nt
to worry about change as the Lord knows whats best.I used
to be quite comfortable
leading the music but that was before when i was operating in my own self confidence and pride.The Lord did such a huge change in my life that i lost my self confidence and that is not a bad thing at all as my spiritual growth has been incredible.The big change was my identity moved from me and what i could do
to knowing who i was in Christ and that he is my strength and confidence.Now i know that without him i can do nothing in fact i am dependent on his empowerment through his holy spirit all the time in everything.In the weekend i was asked
to lead the music at another church i attend multiple churchs although i attend two regularly one has services in the morning and one has services in the evening so the two do nt really clash.In the weekend i was asked
to lead the music its been two years since i did that and i was worried on how i would go.All i can say is that it went really well and because i stepped out in Faith the Lord really blessed the morning
to the congregation.The difference is knowing that i serve the Lord with the gifts he has given me but my heart has
to be right and when i do it in his way it builds up the body and it brings glory
to him.May the Lord continue
to show you what he wants you
to do even though
others may not understand your reasons i just want you
to know that you do nt have
to pull away completely just work within the boundarys that the Lord gives you and do nt feel pressured by
others expectations
to do anything that feel uncomfortable.Be involved just as you feel
lead by the holy spirit even if it is in a very minor way take small steps.regards brentnz

love for us.
