Kari Jobe really inspires me to be more of a worshiper. I feel and I believe that connecting people to the heart of God is what worship is about, as a musician and singer many years at church i have learned that teaching people how to worship is what being on stage is all about. Yeah we need to sound good, and practice, and we need to have energy... but on TOP of all of that we need to have passion for what we do and really, REALLY worship God. We need to focus on bringing these people to the feet of christ and connecting them with God through worship more than anything else. Sometimes we need to let the spirit flow through us if we have to extend a song or cancel a song or something, GREAT cuz that means that we are connecting with God, and if WE  are connecting with God we are gonna be able to teach and help other people connect with God and really worship HIM. Worship time at church isnt a concert, and if it does feel like a concert to you, then you need to check how your worship time is with God! I know i havent had personal time with God in a while like really sat down alone to worship God and connect with him alone,  and that a really important thing in a relationship with God. If we dont spend alone time with God and worship him alone when no-one is looking, how are you gonna go on stage and worship HIM??? and how are you gonna help people worship God when you dont do it at home?? Worship Time is a time where you can just forget about EVERYTHING and just WORSHIP HIM for who HE is and for what HE has done for you. Its a time to just rest peacfully in his arms and let him fill you with his presence and his spirit. WORSHIP TIME, is a time to GLORIFY HIM, and LIFT HIS name on high because he is the KING of our lifes. I believe worship leaders need to have worship time alone, and with the group, just some time to connect with God, alone, and as a group. If we are not worshiping God alone in the quiet, we are gonna do it even less on stage. Making sure that the music sounds good and that everything works, and making sure that everything goes how its supposed to, all of that is important, but its even MORE important to worship God. It is more important to spend time alone by yourself  at home, and alone just the band thats gonna play that sunday to worship God, HE is the one that gave us our talents. We need to LIVE what we do! Worship isnt just music and energy and lights and that stuff (thats just part of it). WORSHIP IS A STYLE OF LIFE!!! Worship is NOT give a concert, WORSHIP is bringing people to GOD'S PRESENCE. God created us to worship HIM, that is the NUMBER ONE thing that we have to do.

1 Chronicles 16:9
Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts.

1 Chronicles 16:23
Sing to the LORD, all the earth; proclaim his salvation day after day.

Psalm 9:1
I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.

Psalm 59:16
But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.

Psalm 95:6
Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the LORD our Maker;

Psalm 99:5
Exalt the LORD our God and worship at his footstool; he is holy.

These are just some of the MANY verses that talk about US worshiping HIM, our CREATOR, our LORD, our EVERYTHING!!!

I see in FRC Doral that the people dont really get into the worship, and really  lift Gods name high! maybe just a couple of people, but most of the time they are just standing there looking, or just clapping and thats it... but they dont do it cuz some of us that are on stage dont do it, and like i said before if we dont do it on stage then we must not be Worshiping God in the quiet, secret time we get with HIM. I motivate you if you are a Worship leader, a band member, a Pastor, or anyone else to really, and I mean REALLY WORSHIP THE LORD! Whenever you're alone put some worship music on and WORSHIP HIM, when u go to church and you are going into the service WORSHIP HIM, when you are in your car on the way to work AND on the way back home WORSHIP HIM, GOD created us to WORSHIP HIM!!! and for those who are worship leaders and band members when  you are on stage WORSHIP HIM, dont worry so much about the music and the service and the lights and that you want everything to come out perfect.. forget about that because #1, NO-ONE IS PERFECT!! and #2 If you take care of WORSHIPING GOD, HE WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU and anything that you are doing, and also Motivate people to REALLY WORSHIP GOD... help them to loose their fears of other people watching them or looking at them weird, none of that matters what matters is that GOD is watching you and that people are worshiping HIM. People can lift their hands, and sing outloud and jump to WORSHIP JESUS, because we have JOY that HE has given us and we are rejoicing in HIM. I love seeing people WORSHIP GOD, lifting their hands up, and I have seen people start crying because God is ministering their hearts through a certain song, or at a certain moment in the WORSHIP.... PEOPLE NEED TO SEE US ON STAGE REALLY WORSHIP GOD BEFORE THEY WILL ACTUALLY START DOING IT... I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS BEFORE... If you are on stage and you are just singing and thats it, people are just gonna sing, or just clap and thats it, but if they see us REALLY WORSHIPING GOD, IT WILL INSPIRE PEOPLE AND MOTIVATE THEM TO REALLY WORSHIP GOD... TRUST ME!!! I have seen this before... so just take a moment, any chance that you get when you are alone in your car or at home and WORSHIP GOD and spend some alone time with HIM, it will give you a better relationship with him, and HE will open your EYES and HEART  to NEW, EXCITING, AND GREAT THINGS!!! GOD BLESS YOU!!!
