Wow. I'm 16 and I lead worship at my church's youth group. I think every young worship leader should her this. I also just found out my sister is pregnant while watching this! I'm so overwhelmed by the anointing of him through this and with going to be an aunt. Great day!
she is so anointed its crazy! i was just straightening my hair and listening to her, and i just felt the presence of God in my bathroom, and i just love it. May God continue to bless her and use her
7 years later and the anointing of this message still lingers. Glory to be to Jesus for all He is and what He is doing in your life Kari. Thank you Jesus for your amazing love. You are everything we need and adore.
I live in New England where I attend church regularly, but craaaave to be near Him throughout the week. I listen to sermons during early morning workouts, but sometimes His presence feels so far away and the pace of this city is so busy, busy, busy. So this morning, looking for a song to finish up my workout and start my day, I came across this..and my workout ended, and I put my phone on the table..and I sat (before you even got to that part). Sat through. Because His presence surrounded me through your voice. It's amazing how He leads us to where we need to be at an exact moment..it was exactly the message I needed to hear today. Thank you.
Beth S Sometimes it can be very hard to continue to play for 30+ mins. clearly you havent had to play for that long. Even alternating between the 4maj chords, still is alot of work. He is not following sheet music or a song chord pattern. he is free styling the keys and just mixing chords together. Doing this for a long time can be very tiring, but it really helps setting the mood and keeping the spirit of worship in the atmosphere.
lmcledog At that pace? You can play an entire hour and it shouldn't tire any keyboard player that regularly plays during worship. Sometimes our worship services can last two hours!
I agree. Sometimes visiting pastors would preach, and some of them actually like the background piano music, which means your playing through practice, worship, sermon, altar call, and if your church has back2back services your pretty much on piano full time. lol ive done it on piano and guitar on several occasions.
This is one of the best teachings on worship I have ever heard. She has such a sweet spirit and her love for her God is evident. I love to hear her sing and worship
I really needed to hear the story about the woman who was isolated from everyone else for 12 years. It really reminded me of how I started falling in love with God. That feeling of desperation and doing whatever it took to go past all the other voices and just to go to him for healing. I really needed that courage.
This message never gets old, I've shared it with my cousin, my worship pastor and friends! So amazing how God works in each of our lives, you are so inspirational Kari!
so glad i stumbled upon this. my introduction into worship is just like hers, small church, anyone with musical interest could be a part of the worship team. Now Im the new worship leader of my youth group and my first full worship set for the main service is tomorrow. This reminder of coming back to our first love, not comparing ourselves and embracing our gifts......this is exactly what I needed to hear before my first time leading worship for my church. Thank you Kari Jobe!!!
Thank you for sharing this. It is exactly what I needed to hear. As a worship leader for the past 13 years, I've had plenty of times where, like Kari said, I didn't really want to lead worship or I would have rather stayed home. This was such an encouragement to me to spend more personal time getting refreshed by His presence and falling more and more in love with the Father. Thank you again. God bless you...
I am not a worship leader but your teaching is practical and how individually worship the Lord. I pray for my revival I want to return when I first know and accept the Lord. I want to be free from the lust of the world and just come and worship him.
As a worship leader myself I find this very inspiring. Everything she mentioned in her testimonies I've been through. For a long time I've been praying for a solution to this giant hole in my spiritual life I believe through this video God has shown me the way to go. Praise God!
I hope this doesn't ruin it for you, but that's a stand designed to hold either 3 or 5 microphones. The other pieces are folded down so they're less visible.
Im so touched by this, the way it speaks to my soul. May God help me to apply this from now on and take away things that distract me as i walk according to my calling and that He does same for all those who will read this, in Jesus' name.
Thank you God. This message refreshes me every time I listen to it. I find myself periodically throughout the year listening to this message. I learned something new ech time. Thanks Kari Jobe for being a vessel for God! Blessings!
I love this, God's presence is tangible here, this so badly touched my heart, I need you God, yes God you are amazing, thank you Lord for this I love these moments, I love journaling and I love you all thank you sister Kari!!!❤❤❤❤ Glory to God
This was so powerfull I sent it to the leader of our team, Im the drummer. I also sent it to a friend that loves god, but feels forsacen and punnished at every turn. Im only at 19 minuts in, and Im so mooved.
Her love for the lord is amazing. I could worship to her music everyday I luv how she not only sings as well as her teaching on worship. GOD is diffently taking her places.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6
Please pray for me. My soul is embedded in the worst possible pain daily. I come from a negative, divided, confused, cursed family that has negative dislike toward another. Majority of my family aren't married. Whoever we encounter that we like or want to be friends with or be in a relationship with, negative souls ALWAYS encounter us & bring more hell, more frustration, more misery, more sadness, more yelling, more fighting, more pain, more confusion, more hurt in our lives. Positive souls reject us. For me growing up, I was the only child with no friends. I was raised by my mother & grandmother. There were no other kids on the street that I lived on. We lived in front of a church. I never had the blessing of friendship, I never had the blessing of any sincere true friends, I never had the blessing of any friends period. I was always & still am lonely. People never wanted to be my friend. I couldn't relate to other people. People made fun of me when I was in school. It's been like this my whole life. Since I graduated from school back in 2008, I never had the blessing of going to college, I never had the blessing of ever having a woman in my life, I never had the blessing of my first kiss from a girl, I never had the blessing of ever having a job, I never had the blessing of having any male figures in my life to teach me how to be a man, my father was never around & wasn't the type of father that was there for me. I never had the blessing of experiencing & getting out in life, I lack learning how to be a responsible young man. I suffer from a learning disability in terms of not being wise & becoming a good listener. When my mother was pregnant with me, my great-grandmother told my mom that the guy she got pregnant with was shockingly a relative. Had my mom knew earlier, I wouldn't be here today. She told me that she did not plan on having me. I was an accident to be here on this earth. That's another hurt that I live with. I suffer from a lot of other hurt, hell & pain daily. The woman that I truly love, that's an incarnate angel sent from the gates of God's Kingdom of heaven, rejected me & married a dangerous, hood, hustler, thugged out staff sergeant that looks like the birth of a murderer. This rare incarnate angel from heaven liked me & told me that she was sure that we'd be friends for a very long time. I poured out my blessings to this angel sent from the gates of heaven, by sending her flowers, cards, candy & gifts to her. The most I've ever done for a woman in my entire life. It was also the first time I ever sent a woman flowers. I touched her heart & made her smile by telling my thoughts to her. I wont ever forget her being in awe & told me that she was sure that we'd be friends for a very long time. Then a few months later, she suddenly takes a trip with a guy, gets proposed & asked to marry him right in front of the white house. The incarnate angel that God & Jesus made shockingly said "Yes". That killed my soul. She got her marriage license & is with him now. No matter how hard I cry my soul out to God, Jesus & Holy Spirit everyday to revive my soul from that pain, I'm not healed & it's hard to move on from a deep hurt that takes you life of soul away because I truly love her. She is one in a zillion souls in this life that God & Jesus made rare, so rare that you just don't come across a soul as beautiful as hers. Sometimes I ask & think to myself, "it's bad enough that I suffer from majority of everything here on this earth, why would a angel from heaven reject me"? I truly love that Angel from heaven. She is everything & different from any other soul here on earth. My soul is so hurt, ripped & destroyed in sadness from the love I have for her. There's not a day that I don't think of her. It's hard to erase her out my mind. I have prayed for God's Will to be done that I have her as my Ultimate Blessing in life. I don't want people or God, Jesus & Holy Spirit to think I'm covet or lusting after her now that she has her marriage license. Some people got controversial, wanted to say I did & thought that I put this angel first before God & that's a lie. My soul has a hole inside that's filled with a water fountain of tears inside each day. I always put God, Jesus & The Holy Spirit first. I suffer from a lot of other pain such as horrible folliculitis, alopecia. My skin has been prone to folliculitis since 2013 of May. The dermatologist can only give me ointments & antibiotics, but neither of them have helped my skin heal completely, I still get sores, dark spots & bumps. I also learned that I have alopecia a few years back as well & I'm going back in my 20's. I strained my eyes by vomiting real bad in 2010 & I strained my eyes. The veins in my eyes have been permanently damaged & my eyes have been inflamed since then. The glands in my eyes swell up daily since then. I went to several eye doctors here in my city & they act like they couldn't identify my diagnosis. I'm still in constant pain to this day. I finally went to see another eye doctor. He examined my eyes & said that I have GLAUCOMA. He wanted me to get an MRI, to get to the real root of my problem & find out more about the condition of my eyes. But my health insurance did not pass through so I can get an MRI. I'm still suffering in excruciating pain with my eyes & my eye doctor said that there isn't anything else he could do for me. I have to wait another six months to see him. So I'm still in pain daily. My optic nerve, the root of my eyes keep shooting piercing pains inside the core of my eyes. I'm afraid & don't want to go blind. I cry in pain at night daily. So please pray that God who sit of the Great Powerful Holy Throne In heaven, Jesus Christ Of Nazareth & The Power Of The Holy Spirit will please heal my eyes, hear & read my prayers on here. Another pain that I suffer from is infection from facial ingrown hair that curls back inside my skin. I suffer in the worst pain. I put God, Jesus & Holy Spirit first & so does my family. My family & I are born-again Christians. Some people in my family look at God's word & scriptures & interpret them differently. I just got through arguing with my family about God's word in the bible & want to say that I'm the confused one. I don't EVEN like to argue, especially about God's Power Holy Words in the scripture!!!!!! I'm so hurt, torn & tired of negativity, confusion, frustration, arguing in my life & family. We all feel like chickens with our heads cut off & its always frustration, poverty, being poor our whole lives, more hell, more misery. NEVER A POSITIVE OUTCOME. My family & I try to strive to stay positive each day as well, but differently. It's always division in my family. Sometimes I've told my family that maybe in heaven we (my family) won't be having negative differences of opinion & that we will all be in positive peace. It broke my heart to tell some people in my family that because there's always controversy. I want God, Jesus & Holy Spirit to PLEASE! 100x times please break this curse in the souls of my family & my life. Please ask God, Jesus & Holy Spirit to please help me overcome my fear of driving. I just had a car accident months ago. I have never been the one eager to drive fast like a lot of young people these days. At 25, I still don't know how to drive. I'm determined to drive. I want God who sit on the throne in heaven to please help me overcome that fear & please be with me in Jesus name. I pray for my bipolar next door mean neighbor that always lies that my family & I bother her. That's another hurt I been dealing with for years too. My mom almost passed away from a blood clot back in 2012. I prayed, cried & gave God praise that she is still here. My grandmother's house got broken in 3 times from 2011 - 2014 & took some sentimental items that cannot be replace. Every month of June, something bad always happens the worst. Whether its a death, someone breaking in our vehicles, an apartment being on fire, me almost getting arrested one time & a relative getting beat up. It's always hell & confusion in this family. I pray to God who sit on the throne in heaven, Jesus Christ & holy spirit that they will please send me a positive sincere loving angel from God's Powerful Great Holy Throne in heaven & beautiful children that have special souls from heaven. A month ago, A 10 year old anonymously emailed & told me that "God sent me to tell you that he has great big plans for you". That brought tears to my eyes & my soul. I NEVER had that happened to me either. I believe that God who sit on the great powerful throne in heaven, Jesus Christ Of Nazareth & The Power Of The Holy Spirit heard my prayers. I was at the store last month & a woman felt like something in her soul needed her to pray over me, so she did. That has never happened to me in my 25 years of breathing on this earth. I told her that GOD & Jesus must have whispered in her soul & sent you to pray over me. She said "yes". Then I told her about my life & the pain that I live with. She was so touched & moved, she sent me a flyer to her church because they had a Men's Conference about Men becoming more stronger through CHRIST JESUS. So I told her I'll go to the invitation on May 1- 3rd, 2015. I went to the 2015 Men's Conference & it was a blessing of an experience. I got to hear from different speakers from Apostle, Bishop, Doctor & Prophet talking about different topics such as Spiritual Warfare, Wearing & Being An Amor Of God. I'm still reading my bible, worshiping & praying to God, Jesus & Holy Spirit every single day. Everyday its hard for me to survive in this poor hard life. My soul is weak, lost, damaged, in pain daily. I don't have the blessing of having a car. I still live with my mom & the guy that she's been with for 12 years is going to marry her. Me & him don't get along well. Him & my mom argue, he loves to yell. I almost had to break up a fight between them recently. My mom got on me & told me not to interfere with them fighting because if it happens next time, he's going to put his hands on me & fight me & I don't want to fight. I was just being a peace maker. I don't want to live with them when they get married. I feel so stuck in my four wall room every single day since I graduated back in 2008. Being lonely everyday, never having the blessing of any friends to talk to or blessing of getting out to experience life is a pain, struggle, heartache. I've tried finding jobs, finding ways to get out of the house. I don't have a car & I'm still suffering from everything. Even if I had transportation or money, I'm still scared to get out in life period because I don't know how to be a strong, wise, responsible young man to know how to achieve my goals & survive. I am weak minded in my soul & whole body. I've been like that all my life. My soul feels permanently destroyed in sadness from all the hurt that I just told you. I don't hold onto grudges, I don't blame anyone. Why I say this, is because in my other prayer posts on youtube, anonymous people read my comments & don't understand my hurt. They want to be so critical, thinking that I'm self-centered & want attention. They look at things the wrong way & don't have a clue about what goes on in my life. Please keep me in your prayers daily. Also please pray for my hand. Please pray that God will heal my left hand. I went to the Emergency Hospital back in Jan 2015. The nurse drew blood from my left hand & purposely burst the vein inside my left hand. And since then my left hand has been in pain daily. So please continue to pray for me. Pray that God will heal my soul & break this curse that's in my life & the souls of my divided negative confused family. It's a generational curse. :'( Everyday I fight Lucifer. He keeps attacking & talking in my mind. Earlier this year, he tricked me into thinking that I didn't feel loved from God or Jesus :'( Today, I was thinking... for an angel sent from heaven to have rejected me & to not have the blessing of any friends in my 25 years of living, I'm afraid to think that I might be rejected from the lord. I feel so hurt as I type this because I feel so lost, hurt, sadden, damaged, empty, lonely & destroyed in sadness from how my life & family is. The pain takes a lot out of the soul & life that is in me daily. I feel like my soul was never meant to be happy here on this earth. I have been praying, crying my life, breath of soul out to God, Jesus & Holy Spirit for help :'( to please break this generational curse in my family & in my life. I'm suffering horribly. I feel so empty inside. I don't what my purpose here on earth is if I come from a negative, confused , divided, cursed family that's filled with rejection from positive people, suffering in health, never having any good positive blessings. The hurt that I live with makes me wonder was I really a mistake to exist on this earth due to this painful hell I'm going through. The only thing I can possibly do is pray, read my bible scriptures, worship God, Jesus & Holy Spirit & please pray that they will break this generational curse of negativity, rejection, negative division & a lot of other hurts. P.S. I like Photography. I never studied everything about it, but I've been taking photos since I got my first digital camera back in May 2009. I just recently got a new camera on my 25th birthday last month on April 10th. Pray that God will lead & open a new door for me in photography. This month of May I had went to the library for free computer basic, ancestry & internet basics, each two days out each week. I'm still failing becoming a young responsible man. Two days ago I was late for my computer basic class, but they let me in. This morning, I missed my free class session for ancestry today. My family yelled at me some more today. I'm so hurt, destroyed & sadden. I don't know why I was created :'( My soul is suffering. I felt empty & rejected by every good thing this morning thinking about my life, God, Jesus & Holy Spirit. I don't know if the lord is with me because my soul felt completely empty this morning while I was at the library. Now my mom made an appointment for me & her to see a counselor & we argued some more today. Now the counselor is sending two more people to help me & my family. I don't like this because it's always negative hell & confusion. I feel like a chicken with its head cut off. I did something in my life for the first time in my life. I bought my dad a birthday card from the little bit of birthday money I recieved & mailed it to him. God knows the hurt & history about me & my dad. My dad was never around me in my life to teach me how to be a man. I am only trying to do what God says in his commandments & that is honor thy father. I just want to please & make God, Jesus & Holy Spirit happy everyday. I'm reading my bible, praying, worshiping them & hoping with all my life & soul that they will reply back & help me in my life. I just got through watching two videos on breaking generational curses & before that I had a minister pray to break the curse in my life & I still was suffering. Robert Quintanilla
Universal035 Wow, this is a lot of stuff you have written here. Read the word of God out loud. There are many Psalms that address things you speak of here. I will be praying for you. You may not see my message since you wrote this a year ago. I don't usually promote my YT channel on other people's channels but you may find friends in my comments. I promote being a friend on Tam's Daily VLog. Our daughter has cerebral palsy and she is in most videos. She will make you laugh and smile. The world loves her. And you may find some positivity. My channel is not important, but your environment that you create is important. You need to take steps to create a positive environment on your walls, friends, church, prayer, Bible, books, etc. You are now in my prayers, Robert!!
We need to sit down in our heart... To allow our spirit to be in the presence of God so we don't fall out of love. I love her 'popcorn' teaching. John 10:27~My sheep listen to my voice; I know them and they follow me~. If we don't talk to God often enough it is harder to hear His voice and know where to go. God Bless you Kari for impacting our lives with your ministry work. You are paying it forward. I am weeping and laughing! You are amazing! Thank you! May God Bless you!
I said this one time, but i will never refuese that Kari is God's gift for his church. I have been follow her since a while and i always see the pure heart that she has in front of our God. She is a inspiration for ever worship leader. Something that she said impact me so much, "we need to rehearse God's presence".
Thanks for sharing this, I just wanted to get to know Kari a little better. I get so blessed singing along with her as a shut in, disabled man in Utah. God bless you all.
I'm listening to this and from the beginning i was crying... i am on the worship team in my church and I've been questioning myself so much lately... if i can do this... comparing myself... and this has really blessed my heart it has strengthened me so much and encouraged me thank you Kari and Gateway
I really needed this,,,am in that place ryt now where culture..norms and ministry has been pressing really hard on my worship..I realise now wah I've been getting wrong and how badly I need to go back to that place of personal worship with God..Love u kari and may the Lord increase u.
This was so inspiring , im From Nz and and also in a ministry , this was so Beautiful , worship plays a big part in my life and seriously I felt like God made me watch this video for a Reason ! Keep up the Awesome work Kari ! THANK you Jesus .
Playing for situations like this tends to have stuff like that happen a lot. We've played a single song for almost an hour before, and it was a 5 minute song. When God's working through the music, anything can happen.
Needed this. Every worship leader MUST watch this video. So graceful with so much wisdom. What an honor it is to sit at His feet and bask in His presence
so true, i know that personally that her songs have helped me through some spiritually low time in my life, and i agree with you because she is anointed by God to minister to people through her music. i can tell by her music and some of her interviews i have watched as she explains the writing process for some of her songs, and i believe that is how a song is supposed to be written.
I knew you had an anointing of the Holy Spirit. So I looked you up and received your message. Wow. Beautiful in every way. I hope she says these comments and know how many lives are being changed for the better. I sing too so definitely inspired by what you said and all true. Love you too Kari.
May this great oil continue to overflow through you to this generation and beyond IJN. May God grant you grace to continually stand strong and Holy before him.
When we play I ask for the Holy Spirit led songs and sing the most romantic song and words to Jesus, It is a shame to see those who want the glory and attention from the crowds. Truly If a person is Born Again they have entered as a child would into their relationship with Jesus and they close their eyes and sing to Jesus with tears of joy and a Love unconditional, the audience sences and follows your hearts desires and joins in worshiping Jesus.
Kari, when i first heard Revelation Song featuring your voice, i was changed in a powerful way. That is what started my worship. That song gave me stregnth, hope and faith. I must say you have a wonderful voice. Before that time i was having problems dealing with addiction, and alcoholism. I was changed at that very moment. I began to have an experience with GOD, and have had similar experiences ever since. Thank you. You have made a life impact on me. -Brad
Wow! This was really such a Beautiful message, so encouraging! Thank you Lord and Thank you Kari for bringing out this Amazing teaching of Worship through him! It really blessed me and there's so much to learn from it! I was just filled with his presence listening to it! Yes the Lord definitely uses us no matter what age we are! He makes no comparisons among us! I know my Lord will teach me to be a John 10:27 girl! Thank you, God Bless you, Kari Jobe! :)
