I had this TD Jakes album and along with the songs he had some sermonettes on there. One of them that stood out was he was saying that what some people pass off as worship isnt really worship, because if true worship hit the whole place the musicians couldnt play, the ushers couldnt usher, etc. (he said a few examples, i dont have it on me to listen to to write exactly what he said). But in my mind i was like not necessarily because you can really worship through your playing.
But last night i got the true experience of that, twice. During our prayer i was playing around on the keyboard trying to set the atmosphere before prayer started and when it started i turned it down but kept playing trying to continue to keep the atmosphere as well as concentrate on God. And then as i got deeper into it, something just led me to stop playing and i got on my knees where i normally pray before i play and got into a real intense prayer. The second time was before the speaker got up my brother called his wife up there to sing a solo "Praise is what i do" and as it began to really stir up the Spirit in me, i couldnt even touch my bass and try to play. I just had my hands up really speaking to the Lord.
And i did that before, but it really stood out to me because that Word that he said was on my mind recently and i was able to notice it. Has that happened to any of you, where you just couldn't play because the Spirit was upon you?
