Run to the Battle

Worship at Walk on Water World Outreach Church is always unique. Our Pastors, Perry and Angie Burgess are incredible worshippers and create an environment that Worship Leaders like me can thrive in, namely FREEDOM. Ministering to homeless people and street people is challenging and tricky in that many of them came for the warm bed or the hot food and seem to be generally disinterested in the proceedings of a worship service, even one in a Pentecostal church with a rock band.

In the midst of that, we have a core of people with a heart for ministry, a heart for the move of God, a heart of Worship that is strong. They come to serve, not to be served, and to love and reach out to the above mentioned street people of Athens, Georgia. As I said, not where you might typically look for a major revival Spirit to break out.....but wait!

Here we are, pressing in to His Presence when the word comes from the Lord...."There is a battle raging for the souls of men....There is a war for men's souls....In war there is no spectators, you are on God's side or you are against Him...Where do you stand? Take up your weapons and run to the battle. Now is the time to declare who you stand with....Run to the battle, Run to the fight".

The intensity of Worship and Warfare is increasing week by week at WOW church. God is up to something special here. My question for you is, " Are you taking up your weapons and running to the battle, or are you on the sidelines, watching someone else fight? I wrote a song a couple of years ago that says it for me the best:

"Not content to watch another sing....zealous in the praises that I bring....a moment in the presence of the King....Lord I know I don't want to stay....arms length from a miracle...."

This weeks set list:

Song of Hope by the Robby Seay Band

Friend of God by Israel Houghton and Michael Gungor

We Prepare the Way by Rick Pino

Rescue by Desperation Band

(an extended period of spontaneous worship and flow right here)

Call My Name by Third Day

Thank you WOW and thank you Healing Flow Praise Team for your obedience and your heart for worship. Thank You Pastors Perry and Angie for your sensitivity to the Spirit and your love for your people.

The altars were full, miracles, signs and wonders, people getting saved, set free, and comissioned for the fight. What a service...All Glory, Honor and Praise go to You, Lord!

in the flow....

He Touched Me

Here we are with a favorite of mine, Phillip Council's arrangement of the Gaither tune He Touched Me. We love it when Phillip comes with us, he is so open and free and ministers what is on his heart.

More live video from the Jam for the Lamb. Even more coming soon

How He Loves

This is our version of the great Jesus Culture tune How He Loves as performed at the Jam for the Lamb. Singing lead is Hannah Roesch and Phillip Council. Enjoy.

This song was written by John Michael McMillan and also performed by Kim Walker and David Crowder. Powerful prophetic worship, which is a trademark of the Jesus Culture team. We get a huge response every time we minister this song.

If grace is an ocean, we are all sinking......

A Moment of Peace, if I may

Things sometimes tend to spiral a little out of control. Double digit unemployment, economy in turmoil, things going crazy at work or at school, friends and loved ones in trouble or sick....sometimes you just need a moment of peace. Here's Daniel, closing our set at the Jam for the Lamb with a hymn. Enjoy.

Hopefully we will be putting a little of this on our Songs and Stories CD which we are just beginning. Our first music project, Hold On, is about to finish production and may (I said MAY) be ready for Christmas. Yea!

In the flow,

Updates and News

Wow. What a fall it has been! We have been busy, with some of us starting a new career and some of us moving, some starting college and some trying to get back in, yes, change is good, but we are all hoping for a little bit of a break right now.

The music has never been better, and we see God moving in our services. We take no credit for that, as the Holy Spirit is the source for all of that. Too easy to let that kind of success go to our heads, but we realize that all the glory, honor, and praise go to Him and Him alone.

There is a huge need at our home church, Walk on Water, and we pray that God will move on behalf of the church. Our Pastors, Perry and Angie Burgess have been faithful and generous and giving people and we as a church meet a need in reaching out to the homeless and street people of Athens. God, meet our need, open doors that no man can shut, and shut doors that no man can open. Breakthrough!

We still hope to have our music project done by Christmas. It's hard to tie up loose ends and put together the total package, but we still have that as our goal. Pray that God will open doors and hearts and bless our efforts.

Come see us in Athens. We are looking at a couple of other gigs in the near future, possibly with our friends from Full Circle. Details as they become available.

Healing Flow Jam

Jam for the Lamb

Saturday was the Jam for the Lamb at B.C. Grant Baptist Church in Habersham county. There were five bands/praise teams including groups from B.C. Grant and Habersham Baptist, Empathy and Eve from Frankfort Kentucky, Full Circle (James Dew), and Healing Flow. After a slight delay and a few typical P.A. problems, Habersham kicked it all off with Chris Tomlin's Our God. They did several favorites and have an enthusiasm for worship that I really appreciate. We went second, and opened up with one of ours, Praise Your Name. Phillip Council did his arrangement of He Touched Me, then Daniel followed with the "train song" People Get Ready. We did Hold On, another HF original and closed our set with How He Loves. As we were finishing up, Daniel felt led to sing an old hymn, What a Friend we Have in Jesus.

B. C. Grant's choir rocked out with several original arrangements, including some interesting acoustic treatments and percussion, and reprised last years Days of Elijah. Empathy and Eve played an extended set with many originals after their Pastor brought the word, and James Dew and Full Circle closed out the night with a smokin set of covers and originals including their tune Superman.

Everyone seemed to have a good time and the BC Grant people are great and gracious hosts. Hopefully we will have an opportunity to experience JFTL 11 next year.
