“Living a Life of Worship” …an interview with Worship Facilitator/Minstrel “Chris Walters” (PT. 2)
00:00 - 01:15 INTRODUCTION
01:15 - 2:03 Worship is cultivating an audience of ONE with ABBA
2:03-2:41 An Authentic Worshiper finds His/Her Place in the COMMUNITY of God
2:41 - 4:35 Worship starts with Relationship, & A Death to yourself
4:35 - 5:28 TWO KEYS: Be Called & Be Anointed, Insecurity begs the question of Calling & Anointing..that should be all the affirmation one need
5:28 - 6:13 We are not the ones to decide if one is called or anointed..that is between God & Them…we worship GOD ourselves in spite of
6:13 - 8:25 There is a Balance BOTH US + GOD …a partnership is necessary
8:25 - 9:18 God desires to FLOW Through us , not totally control us..using our personalities, our knowledge, our gifts/talents,,,we are all UNIQUELY Fashioned vessels that He will flow through personally giving you things only for you to use
9:18 - 12:37 CW. Prayer KEEP ME Humble!,,,,Best thing Chris does with Her recognition is to Honor & encourage others!
12:37 - 12:50 FIND your Tribe!,, God works profoundly through small GROUPS
12:50 - 14:25 True, LOVING, Authentic ACCOUNTABILITY , tends to work best in smaller Groups rallying around each other
14:25 - 15:12 God does not expect you/me to be accountable to EVERYONE..see 12 Tribes of Israel
15:12 - 16:41 Big Churches/Small Churches, in the end each of us is personally ACCOUNTABLE before God,,caring for each other but not judging non issues
16:41 - 18:32 QUOTES from Jeremy Riddles Book (The Reset)& How He resonates with our hearts
18:32 - 21:27 Pg. 109 (The Reset`Jeremy Riddle) Her biggest enlightenment from the book….The church & ministry she was a part of imploded,,,she went back to Iowa to live her life at age 25. “Mothers & Fathers of Worship are being RENEWED once again in authority of Worship, from a flame that was almost extinguished years ago” An n AWAKENING is happening & God’s flame will burn brighter in your latter years than it ever did in the zeal of your Youth!”....This was for CHRIS!
21:27 - 22:11 Chapter 4 page 39 (The Reset) Becoming surrendered requires a death, yet at times we resist that surrender…a death to self that we have been discussing..
22:11 - 23:33 Chapter 8 ‘The Reset’ , pg. 86 … “A New Wineskin” An Atmosphere of Worship is envisioned that brings TOTAL Restoration & Renewal to people
23:33 - 24:49 Chapter 7, Pg. 74 ‘Truth Matters”....(The Reset) Place yourself under GOD’s Authority so Thoroughly , that that authority flows THROUGH YOU!...This comes back to CW, speaking about being in the WORD + Relationship … the BRIDE of Christ has her Fathers AUTHORITY…HOW?....spend time in the scriptures, you must KNOW the scripture that is the beginning of relationship…helps us find WHO we are in Him.
24:49 -25:01 As Worship Facilitators God’s Authority must flow through what we are doing
25:01 - 28:23 Chapter 6, Pg. 52 “Born of The Spirit” (The Reset) The use of Worship Sets & allowing the Holy Spirit to lead…we need more than just a worship set…the songs need to become part of us so they can flow..yet the balance means we also need to be prepared technically, for flow to occur..this involves preparation & time.
28:23 - 29:34 The importance of being “CALLED,,EQUIPPED..ANOINTED” as a Minister /Worshiper…Called & Anointed = God…The EQUIPPING is US & our preparing technically to the point that God CAN Anoint us…We must CHOOSE to get READY when He calls us, then we are available for anointing!
29:34 - 30:10 Too many folks rely on their past and do not prepare correctly..KNOWING we are Called to be in front of others as ‘Worship FACILITATORS’ means we must be aware that, that is a Huge responsibility
30:10 - 30:58 Chris resides in Iowa, yet has spent the last 8-9 months in the Seattle area. She has been involved in small groups of fellowship & Prayer
30:58 - 32:37 Chapter 10, pg. 103 - The Reset A purifying Alliance..will bring fresh creativity…The worship Movement + Prayer Movement + Missions Movement…through ministry to the LORD & World will cause it to explode in Creativity, life & Power…Jeremy is saying “We must Get this message out beyond the 4 Walls of the Church.”
32:37 - 33:18 The worship Movement will never thrive in ISOLATION…In her old church the Music Ministry would go to various Malls, & area events & sing to the public,,,then others would witness. That is GRASSROOTS Ministry to which the church is returning
33:18 - 33:56 This book, “The Reset” Jeremy Riddle is mind boggling & PROGRESSIVE as a tool to help get the church ‘UNSTUCK’ in this season. Sadly, the church today does not reach out very far beyond its doors….so music may be instrumental in breaking down those doors.
33:56 - 34:34 “ Can the church provide a place where we can provide the Real, True, Liberating, Healing Presence of God!?”...YES!! We can.. BUT we must get beyond the Music!...we do not want people to have an experience with Music…But an experience with GOD!!
34:34 - 37:08 It is a constant battle for worship Facilitators to ‘Get out of the way’...Be a yielded vessel through our own unique gift…Yet have GOD FLOW!..There is a balance!..My own example in music where I failed in my presentation because of my own pride, it was totally humbling.
37:08 -39:51 Chris Walters coming into her gift as a songwriter/singer & how her gift has blossomed…she uses scriptures she has noted in her worship time , that she has jotted down
39:51 - 40:48 What makes music so special is the MUSIC LASTS… we recall childhood songs..Music is a powerful medium for both teaching + Memory…compared to sermons, the words to sermons often fade ... .Memories of Music can last a lifetime!....So we must treat MUSIC as a PRECIOUS COMMODITY & inject only TRUTH in our Music that will build up others & edify
40:48 - 42:00 Much of CW’s music is directly from the scriptures…Because God said it Best…example her song “Be Strong!”...she knows at times she can recite a passage because she can sing it…therefore we must treat MUSIC with great respect because it is a medium that can impart something ( a message, thought) to people that will stay with them long after the song has been sung.
42:00 - 44:03 WRAP UP…..CRESCENDO! ..Pg. 72 The Reset Jeremy Riddle “The More you Feast on Him , The More it Gushes out of You”..That quote is all about relationship with HIM, time spent in His Word, Prayer, Asking HIM to speak to your Heart…the more we do all of that the more WORSHIP will GUSH OUT OF US!
44:03 - 44:40 Ending Prayer
44:40 - 49:46 WOW!! WOW!! …My Ending outro COMMENTS…A Clarion Call to Worshipers,,to HIS Bride..This podcast IMHO was a ‘defining Moment’!...GOD is calling today in a special WAY!!..God’s GOODNESS NEVER ENDS!!...Lk. 17:21…God’s Kingdom is actually EXPANDING…He desires to Flow out of each of us…CW’s Golden Building Blocks for the Kingdom of God….10 AWESOME Takeaways we discussed from ‘The Reset~ Jeremy Riddle’
