I WAS THINKING TODAY ABOUT LOSING OUR WORSHIP LEADER IN OUR CHURCH AGAIN. I DON'T ENVY THE PERSON WHO GETS TO TAKE HIS PLACE. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT BUT THIS MUST BE THE WORSE POSITION TO HAVE IN THE CHURCH. FIRST HERE'S THAT THIN LINE BETWEEN LEADING WORSHIP AND BEING WORSHIPED. I HAVE SEEN SO MANY WORSHIP LEADERS WHO THINK THAT IF EVERYONE IS NOT INTO THE WORSHIP MODE ,THAT ITS ALL THEIR FAULT. YOU KNOW SATAN TAKES ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLES DOUBT AND FEEDS ON THIS AND REALLY CAN BRING DOWN THE CONGREGATION JUST BY WHISPERING INTO THE WORSHIP LEADERS HEAD.

AFTER ALL SATAN WAS GOD'S WORSHIP LEADER AND LOOK WHERE HE LED THE ANGELS IN HEAVEN. HE FELT HE SHOULD BE WORSHIPED FOR HIS ABILITIES ,AND SO HE WAS, BY A THIRD OF THE HEAVENLY HOST. YOU SEE WHERE IT GOT HIM AND HE SURE DON'T WANT TO BE THERE ALONE ,AFTER ALL, WHO WOULD WORSHIP HIM AND MAKE HIM FEEL BETTER ABOUT HOW HE WAS REJECTED BY GOD.

SURE LIVING FOR GOD IS HARD, AND IF SATAN IS NOT PUTTING UP A FUSS AND MAKING YOUR LIFE DIFFICULT ,THEN YOU, BETTER REEVALUATE YOUR BELIEFS. IF YOU TRULY BELIEVE IN GOD THEN YOU NEED BATTLE SATAN ON A DAILY BASIS. THE TRICK IS TO KNOW WHEN ITS SATAN OR JUST GOD TESTING YOU. I FIND LOOKING AT THE END RESULTS USUALLY MAKE IT CLEAR AS GOD STEERS YOU TO SOMETHING BETTER AND SATAN STEERS YOU AS FAR FROM GOD AS HE CAN.

I WOULD SURE BE WORRIED IF SATAN WASN'T PUTTING UP A FIGHT THEN I WOULD KNOW THAT EITHER I AM NO THREAT TO HIM OR I HAVE DRIFTED SO FAR AWAY FROM GOD THAT HE HAS NO INTEREST IN ME. IF I AM TRYING TO DO SOMETHING FOR GOD AND EVERY THING IS COMING AGAINST ME THEN I FEEL ELATED . I KNOW THAT WHAT I AM DOING WILL BENEFIT GOD IN ALL HIS GLORY BECAUSE SATAN IS SO AGAINST THE END RESULT.
