There have always been spectators. Is isn't it that they're being exposed? You're underestimating the power of God. Satan seeks to contaminate anything that's associated with God. Does that mean that God doesn't use it? Or does God use it to draw people to himself. I also recognize nonsense when i see it... Or hear it. God items everything. Don't put God in a box.

Thank you Kim Walker Smith…i know you are waking people up!!🕊🕊

This is awesome! I worship lead in a small church (50 or so members) so we don’t have the luxury of in-ear monitors and MD mics. But seeing this is giving me hope that our team can implement this someday.

This is so true! Thank you for bringing this topic to the forefront.. What happened to pure worship??

Careful with mainstream worship music; yes. It’s indoctrinated; beware the symbolism and images used. Stay vigilant and pay attention always to what you permit into your home and space. Discern the lyrics 💯; careful what you speak over yourself and into being by blindly repeating 🫣 the enemy was an angel of music before his fall 🧐 so be aware. I seek the musicians giving honor; glory and praise to our YaH; Yeshua; Ruach HaKodesh! They aren’t involved in all the showy and flashy focusing the praises on themselves. They are genuinely focusing on giving all praise, honor and glory to our Heavenly Redeemer!

I love how she summed up church hurt. As a nearly 40 year old woman who had been in the church sense birth I have had and seen my fair share of church hurt. It's been so sad to see believers fall away from hurts but beautiful to watch true believers thrive in spite of those wounds.

Hey Alex! I play drums too, cool stuff man.

You articulated that SO VERY WELL! Absolute TRUTH

I find what you’re saying is very correct. I live in one of the most liberal ungodly state Washington. I can’t even find a godly church that spirit filled. They’re all showtime and a water down message.

I love you, my sister Kim Walker Smith and your worship

Amen Kim. The OG Worship singer.

The same spirit that moves Universal to profit from worship often moves on the immature Christians as well. They’re puppets to the devil’s work and they don’t even see it because all they can see are the dollar signs.

Lusfer was the worshiper

Thankful You are speaking up A lot of newbe young ones don’t know this . 🎉 GodBless

God bless you, and keep extending your ministry

She nailed it!!!it's all about the dollars! Even the church pastors are using words like ' church experience' when referring to church service! Is it about the presence of God or its about the ' church experience '...God help us!!

You are 💯 right

I’ve stopped attending many churches because of bad singing experiences. I feel sad that I feel that way but found it to be agitating and it distracted me. I understand not every church has members available that are able to stay on key ( like myself ) but it was unbearable. I’ve also stopped attending churches that put spot lights on themselves that make the focus on them and their body performance. I was once again distracted, which is why I favor Choirs over bands. Choir is just singing ( helps me sing along) which doesn’t distract me unlike a band performance.

How do you get sound out of this drum pad?

Oh, Kim, I thank God for you. I worship at home with your music playing in the background. My go-to songs for worship are Holy and Walk with me.

Christian music got infiltrated by Satan because it went from glorifying Christ to glorifying the artist. Simple as that.

Can’t agree more, our assignment is to lead people into green pastures, giving globry to the King of kings Don’t perform a hit chart, but a holy reverence to the Lord

That's true. May God open our eyes. Thanks for trying to let us engage in all your songs and concerts.

I left church a year ago the good thing is God is gracious

It’s true! Jesus please visit your church once more! You wrote to the dead church in Sardis Revelation 3:1-6 “… I write to you because you are dead…” Help us Lord to hear!

I'm glad im not the only 1 who sees this ! So sad ! 😢

i see and feel the same abot a lot of big curches in America. There was one i found that i fill is Holy spirit filled and a church that preaches the truth 2819 pastor philip anthony mitchell youtube them

💔💔💔💔💔💔

Thank you for saying it

Amen 🙏🏻

Good on you Kim God bless you 🙏🏿🙏🏿🔥🔥

Why did Christians let that happen? No discernment? Why are they not with a Christian platform? Isn't it there choice?

I knew it, the enemy always trying to shutdown the Holy Spirit.🙏 Love your music 🙏😇

Been happening for 20+ years. CCM stands for Commercial Christian Music. Or it should be CMM Christian Mainstream Music.

Truth Kim Truth, this has been nagging me as a worshipper and for you to speak it is awesome to me! Confirmation for me for sure! My heart breaks for I so love to worship Him in Spirit and in Truth! Pray pray pray 🙏!!

7:53 its not your view on womens pastors; its THE BIBLE'S VIEW!

Great observation..it’s really true , I can call it as technology business with so called updates and upgrades that distract and even disturbs the true worshipers. I am editing this message bcos I got a pop up feedback screen saying“ what did you think of the last video?” which means this msg from you as well-also controlled for further broadcast.😅…Last days

Yes so very true. TRUTH SPOKEN 💯👍

I would love to see you lead more! This is such a great reference to show my worship team! Something that is excellent/worshipful but not so far out of reach that it seems impossible to get to! Also, I’d love to hear more on how you picks keys for songs. Seems like you take out a lot of the octave jumps. Thank you so much. This has blessed me in so many ways.

Our eyes are supposed to be on Jesus, not on who are the real worshipers. Leave the judgment to God. When Jesus was on earth, He had a lot of spectators follow Him around, too, and he wasn't fazed by them. Only God knows the hearts of people, and He is the one that changes hearts. God works in all kinds of mysterious ways, including music.

Satan has always put plants in places but the Shepard didn’t do their job and why would u want a secular producer handling the annointing. All bad and that’s why todaysChristian is now and for a long time just corrupt. Even good songs u have to look out for the backwards speak

Watch you got to be afraid of. We were from before the beginning for this

Be in the world but not of the world . I AM doing this why aren't you.Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature under heaven.Are you sure your loud enough?lmao

Thank you, Kim. I appreciate a worship leader admitting what we all see but few want to be honest about.

Don Moen put a video out a number of years ago about not overplaying. His demonstration was having each player over play which naturally sounded great. I didn't get why until I started leading worship that I understood it. Creativity and musicianship are fantastic gifts from God. But, when left to their own devices, draw attention away from the Lord and defeats the purpose of an atmosphere of worship. Tim Keller describes the issue at hand quite well, "Sin isn't only doing bad things; it's more fundamentally making good things into ultimate things."

I’ve got a 16” medium crash cymbal for swells but it doesn’t really give me the sound I want. It’s like it’s not high pitched enough

Yes this is so true. Entertainment vs worship.

God meets people where they are and brings them to where they ought to be. Being entertained at the beginning doesn't stop the truth from being shared. ❤ As long as the gospel is being preached and the Bible is being shared, what's wrong with drums and pretty lights?

Thank God for Kim Walker-Smith!!! She is SUCH a GIFT to the body of Christ! Other than Jesus she is my true hero. In 2018 my wife and I went through a very similar situation. Things became SO difficult and it seemed like God was asking us to move thousands of miles away from everything and everyone we ever knew to a whole new environment. We were sure God was telling us it was time to go but we needed Him to tell us where to go. Sure enough, while visiting a local ministry one night a visiting man/pastor from far away that we did not know called us out of our seats and asked us if he could pray for us. We said "sure". He then said "I don't know you, and you don't know me, but I can tell you one thing for sure, God is moving you to a new location". WOAH! 😲Now we knew we were definitely hearing from God that it was time to go! Within a few days God showed us exactly where we were going and even the exact house we would be purchasing and moving into. I kid you not!!! We have now been here for 6 years and are SO blessed!!! To be honest it was very challenging and took a MAJOR step of faith but glory to God he made a way of escape for us! Thank you Jesus! We hope our little story helps others who may find themselves in a similar situation. Blessings... 🤠&🥰

I was listening to one of your songs this morning Kim. I can't wait to worship God with you again. I got to see you at Paula White Cains church in Florida last year.
