NORTHERN LAKES CHRISTIAN CHURCH Thorpe And Karen Mitchell Pastors “The Rocks Will Cry Out” By K. Mitchell The music of the Church is changing. Changing in step with the times. I am seeing the music reflect what God is doing. He is raising up an army of warriors who Know how to reach the throne room of God, and won’t release Him, until the blessing comes. These mighty warriors know how to wage spiritual warfare and win! Whatever God is doing in the earth, He births through the hearts of His people who know Him. The following stanza is an example of such “a new song”: We are the army of God. Marching with swords in our hands. Banners unfurled, the trumpets are blaring, Proclaiming His name through the Land! This song depicts a victorious army. Their banners unfurled, means they are victors, the victorious ones. The beat emphasizes the marching, marching, marching, of this army all over the Land. They are proclaiming, the name of the Lord. Another song, based on Luke 19:37-40, says: The rocks will cry out If we say we will not sing For God has declared, His Son, we will praise. It’s theme is praising the name of the Lora. That is if we, His church, refuse to praise Him, the rocks will! Praise and worship is a tremendous weapon tor the church. King Jehoshaphat found out. He came to Goa for wisdom on how to defeat the armies coming against him. God had him place the praisers in front of the men of war. “And at the moment they began to sing and to praise, the Lord caused the armies of Ammom, Moab, and Mount Seir to begin fighting among themselves, ana they destroyed each other.” 2 Chronicles 20:22. It took Jehoshaphat and his people, three days to gather the spoils. That’s victory! This is what God is doing today. Come experience a real praise and worship service. Experience what God meant, when He said, “The rocks will cry out, If we say we will not sing. ” Sunday Services 10 A.M. & 6 P.M. Wednesday Evening Service 7 P.M.
