Few believers understand the power of song. Worship is not just a “warm-up” to the sermon. Singing opens the way for an increase of the Holy Spirit’s overflow in us, as well as an unfolding of discernment regarding His will in our lives. It is by the creative capacity of speech and song given to us by God that man has, among other ways, been glorified above other creatures. The mime of birds is not self-initiated speech. We speak of birds singing, but what we call singing, as lovely as it may be, is not song.
The song is a powerful instrument because it is so basic to worship. When it is worked out in the experience of our daily life, it becomes a manifestly powerful means of sustenance, triumph, creativity, deliverance and ongoing growth and development in the way of the Lord.
A sense of inadequacy about the quality of one’s voice can cripple a believer into fear of singing or entering boldly into worship.
The world causes us to draw comparisons, but to the Lord, there is a distinct beauty to everything He’s created. When it comes to the matter of our singing voice, if we will exercise and be faithful in the few things God has given us, He says He will make us rulers over many. People who sing praise and don’t worry about how it sounds will begin to see the glory of the Lord begin to break forth in their voice.
Don’t allow the spirit of this world to stifle the song God wants to bring from your lips. His Word says there is no sound that is without significance (1 Corinthians 14:10). Ask the Lord to make you an anointed singer of praise and quit labouring with the matter of how you think it sounds.
What is described in Isaiah 54:1-5 which begins, “Sing, O barren… Break forth into singing, and cry aloud.” The church had been “barren.” And the experience opened my understanding that song is a Kingdom key to the release of Jesus’ life and power among His people for:
Fruitfulness, increase and multiplication (Isaiah 54:1-5)
Victory in battle (2 Chronicles 20)
Confrontation of bondage (Psalm 42:8; 32:7)
Spiritual breakthrough (Acts 16:25-26)
Release of God’s Word in your life (Colossians 3:16)
Ignition of the creative power of God (Job 38:4-7)
The song is life-begetting. It is a natural means of uniting together, a beautiful means of praise and worship, and a powerful means of challenging darkness and declaring the truth. This isn’t simply poetry; it’s God’s Word for you.
