Call to Ministry - My Testimony

Women in Worship
by Debbi Barnett
June 28, 2001


After the service the Pastor approached me and asked me to take over the Worship and Music Department. I said, “no,” but then I remembered the word that God had given me a year ago. I submitted to that Word, and to the leadership of my Pastors as the Worship Leader of Liberty Christian Center, under the covering of my pastor and my husband. But I still wasn’t convinced. “Is this a real call to the ministry?” I asked God. “A Worship Leader?” I researched it out and found that it’s a good thing, and the perfect will for my life. God said, “yes!” It didn’t matter what anyone else thought about it. So what if I am a woman. I got a message burning within me. I’m a woman living out the promise of God that in the last days sons and daughters will prophesy. Ms. Worship Leader - God has gifted us with an ability to lead others in His presence. He has anointed us to play our instruments and to write songs for that purpose, to bring Him glory. He has declared that we take our private cry for God, public. It’s time to be bold, Ladies! Come out of the closet and let the hidden man of the heart speak the loudest.

I Timothy 4:14 states, do not neglect the gift that is in you, be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to your gift, so that others may see your progress. O Woman of God, go forth in Jesus name and let the praises of our God ring from the mountain top until every ear has heard, until every tongue confesses that Jesus is Lord. Sing, play and write songs of the Salvation that has set you free! Let’s pray.

Father I pray for every woman that reads this article that sits in the place of not being sure of her calling. Let her see her calling from your perspective, and let her stand bold in your strength. Your desire is for all to come to repentance and if you can use us as women, we are at your disposal. Cause older women to come across our path and into our lives that can disciple us in the things of God as Women of God. Help us to show your mother’s heart when we lead worship, so that when others look upon us, they will see your Glory above all. In Jesus name we pray - Amen! Go forth Woman of God in a new boldness.
