I heard the Lord say...

"Many whom I have called into deep intimate worship of loving Me,

( the King of Kings and Lord of Lords) will be soon tested as they are

called upon to stand before My Kings of the earth - the Pharaohs,

the King Sauls, and many Shepherds whose hearts have been hardened.

If these worshippers will stand still and worship Me in the midst of

these ones I have placed in authority for my purposes and know that I am

God - I will be exalted in the earth and among the heathen and even in

My own House.

Worship will take you farther than you want to go!

I sensed the Lord saying to the angels when King Saul was ruling over

Israel and losing his kingdom. . . .

"I keep hearing worship coming up from the hillsides of Judea from a

shepherd boy.   He is absolutely lost in worshiping Me.  He's a full

time worshiper and a part time shepherd!  I heard the Lord say to the

angels, "Kill any enemy that comes against his flock of sheep - any

bear, lion or giants - for anything that interrupts his worshiping Me

has to die!"  Any questions?"

"I have found a worshiper who is so lost in Me that even the wrong

authority over him and the people does not distract him!  He has learned

to worship Me in secret in the midst of those stinking sheep!  I have

found the next King of Israel!  Tell Samuel to go anoint Him!"

GOD LOOKS FOR A WORSHIPPER TO CHANGE THINGS

God looks for a worshiper when He wants to change things in His Kingdom!

As David was anointed by Samuel, the Spirit of the Lord came upon him

from that day forward --and the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul.

( This could have been a good time for David to celebrate a falling

leader - but David a true worshiper didn't think so! )

In Saul's torment, he called to his servants to "seek out a man who is a

cunning player on a harp and bring him to me."  1 Samuel 16:21

"And David came to Saul and stood before him: and David loved him

greatly; and he became his armor-bearer!"  Saul became refreshed as

David stood before him worshiping God and Saul was well during this time

and the evil spirits departed from him."

DON'T WRITE OFF EVERY KING SAUL

I sensed the Holy Spirit whispering. "Don't write off every King Saul,

Pharaoh, or shepherd whose heart is hardened. For the heart of the King

and every man is in My hand and like a river I am able to turn their

hearts in whatever direction I choose. You never know when a Saul will

become a Paul, a Pharaoh become a Moses or a shepherd with a hardened

heart become a lover of my sheep.

There is enough  power in just one worshiper who allows Me to love

through them to change the course of history in My Kingdom!   I am

seeking this hour for worshipers - even just one - who will allow Me

through them to influence the hearts of leadership in My Kingdom and in

the world!

I sensed the Lord saying. "I have already prepared worshipers for this

hour who are so sensitive to My Spirit that even "silent worship" with

their every day lives will ultimately open up hearts of authority over

them."

David's greatest enemy was not the lion, bear or giant. His greatest

enemy was in the House of God and time and again God reminded David -

"You can't touch this!"  David knew somehow that Saul was still God's

anointed although he didn't act like it.

God many times uses the Sauls in our lives to prepare us for a great

Destiny!

Get ready to take your harp off the weeping willow tree. Our God is

calling many in 2003 to stand beside our Sauls, Pharaohs and Shepherds

who we may not like.  But don't stop worshiping now. You have come to

far to turn back. Take your harp down now!  God protected David because

he was born to worship and so were you. Ongoing worship will shield you

and heal your wounds from past hurts from past Pharaohs, Sauls and

shepherds.. Healed people heal people!

True worship will not only cause our hands to be raised upward but also

outward - like Jesus' hands were on the cross - the greatest display of

worship to the Father that is still influencing multitudes today - even

Kings, Pharaohs and hurting Shepherds!
