My upc Pastor said that Music ministry can open doors that he as a Preacher can not go.
Such as TV.

Careful Coop - you might get chastised if you say such things - GOD FORBID - TV! LOL What a joke to argue against TV - when they sit around and watch video and INTERNET porn all night! They are not foolin' anybody!

They talk too much and brag about what they watch to everybody and then get up and preach against it and bring the poor people into bondage. These guys are not foolin' anybody! I have been with the biggest and best of them and most of them have it and they _ _ _ (do not tell the truth) about it and sign that they preach everything in the manual and then LAUGH about their _ _ _ _ _ (I did delete the forbidden word) I mean Then LAUGH about their NOT BEING FORTHCOMING WITH THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!

Thad, if all musicians understood the ministry of the song, there would be less 'junk' in the music department...IMHO.

I Chronicles 25:1-3 states that the musicians prophesied with their instruments...the word here means to reveal the will of God by divine inspiration. That understanding makes playing and singing more than just a 'filler' between start of service and the preached Word.

There are some who will not sit still for preaching...the enemy will see to it that the baby cries and they must go out, or they are distracted some other way. But because he is banking on y'all not understanding what it is that y'all do and why, he'll let folks sit for a song.

And that's why every song has to be right on, even at offering time. It's not about playing a song for people to march to...it's about ministering with the song.

I need to quit here because this is getting too involved and is not what the thread is about...

Prophetic Music - AA Allen had an incredible message on that many years ago. Prophetic Music is something most in the Apostolic ranks and especially the UPC have no clue about. Sad

I'd be interested in hearing more about it...

[ThePastorsCoach]

I have the message on an old album but don't have a record player! You might can find something by going to google - A A Allen, Prophetic Praise, Miracle Valley, Allen Miracle Revivals. I do know there is a site for Miracle Valley but am not sure where to find it.

You might email or call the office of Evangelist R. W. Schambach and ask them if they have the message in book or tape form.
