We usually hear individuals speaking about a worship session describing it in terms like “worship was good today” or “worship was just not occurring for me today” and so on. So how do we measure the usefulness of a praise and worship session?

Is it the amount of people raising hands / crying / laughing / shrieking? Proportion of new songs/outdated songs in the set-checklist? CD-like sounding band on stage? Guitar solos like Lincoln Brewster? Or is it a thing far more than what we see and hear?

I would like to provide these 3 indicators of a great worship session:

1. Pleasure

Verify out scripture passages like Luke 24:51-53, Luke ten:21, Luke 19:37, Psalm one hundred:two, Psalm 33:one, Psalm 71:23 and so on. The Bible calls us repeatedly to strategy God cheerfully. Our worship sessions must be joyous and celebratory and lift men and women up – if they are downcast, worship ought to apply the oil of gladness on them if they are already happy, make them happier even now!

two. Intimacy

Worship should generate a longing in our hearts to draw closer to God and to adore Him deeply. Worship ought to be a catalyst precipitating people to pour out their hearts to Him. Take the example of Job in Job 29:4, ”Oh, for the days when I was in my prime, when God’s intimate friendship blessed my property.” Wow! Isn’t this a excellent prayer for worship leader s to make: “Lord, please bless our worship sessions with Your intimate presence!”

3. Anointing

This is a challenging 1 to write about – I suggest how do we define ‘anointing’ objectively?! As tough as it is to define, ‘anointing’ for me is the ‘X’ aspect in worship. We can strategy every little thing, develop the best of set-lists, play songs with the greatest of talent and so on. but with out the ‘anointing’, all of it is vain!

For instance, final weekend we had been top worship in a total-day program, in which for the duration of just about each worship session, our experience of the ‘Presence’ was so genuine. Song right after song simply caught fire – and practically nothing was contrived about it. Usually passive individuals suddenly became comfortably expressive. Experiences ranged from prophetic words-of-information/wisdom to men and women falling to crying to speaking in tongues and so forth. Anointing is all of this and far more!

We might not see this kind of clear outward indicators of the moving of the Holy Spirit in every worship session. But we hold on to the promise that when we collect in the Name of Jesus, He is there (Matthew 18:20). As a result, ‘Anointing’ for me is a sense of God’s presence that is far better skilled than taught. It may possibly be emotional for some, physical for other folks, but the finish outcome is we somehow know that God is present at that second.

The ultimate outcome of typical worship that we should be striving for is of program the adjust in our lives to better love our God and His men and women. Even so, this post is about what happens throughout the session itself. So what about you? What do you take into account as elements of an outstanding praise and worship session?
