Pouring out His power through music

Yesterday was so inspiring! I'm a music student, but haven't felt like I've known how to use my music. For the last year or so I haven't been part of any worship team. Throughout the last few years I've been thinking about how we use music in worship. I had an experience about four years ago that made me realize that we not only can say things to God through music, but he can also say things to us! Music is actually a tool for Him to pour out His spirit over us! After that experience I've met more people believing that and experiencing it. And somewhere in my heart I have been wanting it and longing to see it more, even though I for different reasons haven't thought a lot about it the last year or so. But after thursday I have been so useasy and longing, and yesterday I took some time with God, and I felt like he told me that He will bring me into that, and that he will use me musically. When my church gathered later that afternoon, I shared these thoughts. Our church has received words about music earlier as well, and I believe it encouraged people. I also received a word about this through Ylva afterwards, which was really encouraging. I really think God will use music to reveal and pour out his power in Oslo KF, Oslo in general and everywhere christians gather together to sing and play!

Hilde - For what its worth, my experience is that many evangelical Christians have a fairly narrow view of 'worship', and many evangelical Christian leaders have an even narrower view of how to release creativity and creative people within their churches. My prayer for you is that you don't limit yourself, your musicianship, or the creator God to 'Christian' music.
