The Sound of our Walk

On Monday on my way to school, i was just communing with God and pondering in my heart the new sound, the new wave of worship that the Lord wants to release.. and there were certain principles i felt that He was teaching me regarding that.

The sound of worship has to come from our walk with the Lord. If we're going to learn how to release this new sound, we have to learn how to walk with Him, abide in Him and walk in intimacy with Him. Cos that's the sound of glory. Adam's glory in the garden before sin came was his intimate relationship with the Lord. And that produced a sound...

Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day... Genesis 3:8

When man fell, it affected the sound of glory cos their walk with God was affected. They heard the sound of God but instead of responding, they hid because of their sin. Man used to walk with God in the garden in the cool of the day.. day by day, man and God would meet in fellowship and communion. But one day, man didn't show up... he didn't show up because of sin. But the good news is that Jesus Christ came to restore all things. That includes the pure and holy sound of glory, the sound of our walk. He came to set us free from sin. Cos all have sinned and fall short of the glory... but Jesus came to return us to that glory that we have fallen from. And our walk here on earth with God that began when we first believed is meant to produce a sound of worship, a movement...

This movement is the sound of us walking with God... the devil is afraid cos as we walk in step with God, he can't recognise if it's God walking or it's us walking! It sounds the same! And this very sound of glory is the sound of the conqueror, the victor, the overcomer, the land-taker. Cos as we make music with God in our walk with Him, God and man will be treading together, claiming ground together as they walk together. God promised Joshua every land that his feet steps on. As we walk with God, we release a sound of worship that is also a sound of war that takes nations, communities, people groups and individuals and sets them free. It is a sound that claims the nations as our inheritance. It is a sound that releases breakthrough in bound places. Cos it's a conquering sound- the sound of our walk, where God and man are in partnership rule and taking dominion.

Enoch entered a walk that ended in glory. He was taken up cos earth was no longer fit to have him cos he had so much of heaven in him, so much of the very constitution of the God that he walked with. This prophet, as we know from the book of Jude later prophesied the coming of the Lord with His holy ones. In a sense, the Lord is already here with His holy ones... these are the ones who are going to release the sound of their walk in the marketplace, in the business arena, in the government, in schools and streets, highways and byways.. and they're gonna pierce the darkness with the sound of glory. The sound of glory will also be a sound of judgment upon the wickedness of their day should they reject it. But the sound of glory will also come to pierce the darkness and show sinners the new and living Way.

Their lives are that very sound. They don't go to church to release that sound of worship. They carry that sound of worship everywhere their foot treads, in every arena that God has placed them. And God places them not to be a mere tourist attraction but to claim territory for His glory. It's the sound of God and man working together, living together...

And it starts with a walk, our walk... we can't let others walk with God for us. We have to learn to cultivate it, to abide in Him and dwell in His presence. This walk is a progressive walk. It gets sweeter and more intimate as the days go by. And this walk itself changes us to live that sound of worship. One of the sweetest things we can pray is "Holy Spirit, come walk with me... Holy Spirit, come eat with me..." It's simple, yet profound. As we walk with Him, we'll get to hear His very heart, know His very sound and allow it to find it's expression upon the earth not just through our instruments but through our lives!

Get ready for the worship revolution!
