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
