Come on and SING!! 📣🎶 EP:14

[@kirillzapple]

Ways of the world as you say dear sister crept in unawares in to the church long looooong time ago. Thanks to God for waking us up!

[@dagman85]

Great message, Kim! I pray many are inspired by it to raise their voices and make a joyful noise unto the Lord!

[@alexipao]

Thank you my dear for being so honest and brave. May God keep using you always!!!! God bless you!!!

[@joycehamilton4445]

So agree with you Kim. I sing on a worship team with two other worshippers. Sometimes it seems so hard to get the congregation to open their mouth to sing. God loves to hear the praises of his people he inhabits our praises not just us on the platform. Yes Lord show us how to shift forgive me if I was a part of it. Make a joyful noise unto the Lord no mater what it sounds like. Love you Kim thank you for this.

[@marionkiePS23]

Thank you again, Kim! So true! 🫶🏼🙏🏻

[@SteadArcFab_Ministries]

🔥AMEN to all of this , church! Kim…💪👊

[@sallyminney1921]

Your message is spot on, Kim! This is one reason I love your songs of worship because your heart for Jesus shines through the trappings of todays worship. Thank you for a pure truth teaching. From the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

[@divinelife74]

Agree, agree, agree of everything that is said about worship

[@rebeccahernandez7925]

So excited for Mama 🎵🎶 Your hair is so beautiful ❤️ Thank you for speaking on authority. Music "worship" is so powerful and spiritual. 🙌🕊️🔥❤

[@lampsaltlight]

❤ so true. Thank you for sharing and bringing this topic up.

[@EagleEyeMinistriesEEM]

Thanks for the advice, yes that's so true that you don't need to sing perfectly to worship ❤❤

[@-brye_the_bun-]

And dance, I was so happy to find a church in Pasadena that actually allowed us to dance with the worship. also I LOVE Glory of Zion in Texas. they have very intense worship. with Chuck Pierce

[@cynthiaknuth]

Yes!! AWESOME song!!

[@fernandodamiao8475]

Never gonna stop singing!!!!

[@RandomWorshipKeys]

Great message as always Kim. As worship leaders, we are not there to give a performance, but to enable the congregation to connect with Jesus through song. We are enablers or conduits for the Lord. My favourite way to start worship is to encourage everyone to make a joyful noise 🙏🏻🎶🎉

[@aof13]

Just saw you on Steve Bannon's War Room last Saturday. Great song!!!!

[@sharonvigil6768]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I agree with your voice and opinion. GOD is using you as a worship singer and voice in other ways.

[@cetifoxproductions]

Amen and amen! I've said so much of the same things over the years. As a worship team, we have an "audience" of One. But part of our responsibility is to set the environment that invites the Holy Spirit AND invites the congregation to "build the Throne" for our God to sit and be worshipped. I often find opportunities in songs to go a Capella, and just let the entire congregation's voices resonate. Amazing things happen....if we let them.

[@davidzimmerman984]

Kimmy, seems you were thinking earlier today. I've tried to think early, but with mixed results (ha,ha). Love your thoughts on Thursday. You are precious ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@girlRock1000]

In leading worship its one of my very favorite favorite things to hear is everyone singing praise to our God! It's the sound of heaven. I agree 100% thanks so much for these videos Kim ❤ everyone sing, sing, SING!! 🎶🎶

[@lynettekeen9912]

Your words are awesome

[@AutumnLuvsJesus]

This is SO GOOD! I’ve been praying for this ever since my time leading at my little church. Honestly, where can we find “worship leaders” in scripture? We find WORSHIPPERS, and those worshippers were skillful, but they had a job to do in the Temple. I believe that installing “worship leaders” is beautiful and had good intentions, but our main job should always have been to simply worship, and be an EXAMPLE that would encourage the people in the congregation and to worship as well. It was never supposed to be us entertaining them, it was us showing them that worship is powerful, important and how it’s done. I also feel passionate that the people who are called to lead-the skillful-are supposed to be worshipping in the church even when no one is there to watch-to impart a spirit of worship and to obey the commands and duties of the worshippers in 1 Cor 25. PS, Kim, you did nothing but make me feel like I HAD TO be singing too, you demonstrated and encouraged and you exemplified what I see as true worship-you always pop into my mind when I read 1 Cor 25. Because of the way you worshipped, I knew I did not have a choice but to do so as well. So I understand why you may feel complicit as you said, I don’t mean to minimize your feelings, but to me you were the exact opposite. God used you to move me, and to grow me, and even to open my eyes when I realized something was not right with how things were being done at my old place. Thank you ❤ The power of the Holy Ghost got a hold of me while you were singing pregnant with Maisie, and He has never left me!!!! ❤❤❤

[@jamesmonroe3265]

I completely agree, but would like to add that regardless of the vehicle that got your music to me. I am so grateful that it did thank you.

[@jamesmonroe3265]

I hope it’s OK but your video actually inspired me to do a video of my own on Facebook about monetization and I’m just a regular guy but I love Jesus and what you had said really struck accord so I wanted to pass it on. I hope that’s OK by you.

[@createdtothrive]

You are so right. I am a Christian school teacher. I teach second/third combo at a Christian school. The most amazing moment for my students is when we sing (worship). We sing daily. The rest of the teachers in the school don't understand how wonderful it is or how it can create a sense of community and love in the classroom. Singing together changed the lives of these little Christians. I give them the printed words to the songs, and parents tell me how the kids keep the word pack with them everywhere they go.

[@KimWalkerSmithMusic]

Thank you for what you do!!

[@redsonia5655]

Praise GOD for you Sister. ✝️🙌🏻

[@ericdelaney8416]

I truly appreciate your witness.

[@Life-ch8rj]

What you articulated is what I’ve been sensing in my spirit. Well said, I believe your in tune with the Spirits call to the heart of worship. I was just sharing yesterday in a group text a old hymn we would sing at church when I was younger.

[@TjWalker-q8x]

I am excited for u . You’re being blessed and standing firm in your relationship with Christ. So happy ur pulling away from the commercialization of Christianity. Looking forward to seeing your concert in Florida thank you for coming down to Orlando and Sarasota. I’m right in between and I will be there.

I love your worship song they encourage me to sing now my pastor encouraging me in the choir which I can not believe it something I always wanted to do I hope and pray I do not forget words or fail in jesus name

[@glynlouise]

Thank you so much for exposing this. Have felt this for a long while + worship is also engagement…not singing words as an act without the heart and Spirit. Engage with passion

[@AlephTavWay]

I am so overjoyed that you were bringing this topic up because it’s vitally important we go into eternity, singing praise is to our great and glorious king of kings

[@KaylaE-ml7ek]

Wow it’s like we’re all at Jesus’ Bible Camp and you’re our camp counselor speaking truth to us :D You always speak from a posture of humility and wisdom. Must be from resting in his sweet sweet love! ❤

[@johnsmit5999]

I want to echo the sentiments of another commenter here. It is easy to want to sing along with excellent songs but not so much with so-so songs. This is not a knock against Christians song writers but that can pertain to the desire to praise and worship with full strength.

[@KarenMorrison-ot9io]

Does Jesus promise He will join us in the congregation when we praise? Psalm 22:22

[@jawoodal]

The Psalms declare for us to sing. I tend to have visions, while you are leading the worship service, of dancers, flags, banners, and streamers in the choreography of worship to God.

[@jessicaritter1596]

Kim, I don't think that you did it wrong at all. You sing your heart and soul out to the LORD GOD JESUS CHRIST ALMIGHTY, truly. My husband, myself and our son used to watch and listen to you sing on the videos with the bands albums. Maybe, Consumed and We Cry Out. Then, a lot of KZbin. I see your focus always being on the One you are singing to, our Great God and Saviour. My husband just "died" yesterday. I feel like it is my fault, for believing the enemies lies. I said a whole lot of things that I shouldn't have. I got so jealous and mad at my husband for being so good to everyone else. He is the maintenance man where we live and he gives it his all. I could see it wearing on him and begged him to take it easy. But he was worried about us having money to get a house and stuff since he will he able to retire soon. Huge load, long story, but please pray for us. God gave me visions of what was going to happen, just like He has done all throughout my entire life. I can even remember Him showing me my Mom and her situation and need before He sent me to her. I have stories of God's goodness and mercy all through my life. I'm so overwhelmed, lonely and sad in this dark season....even though He let me know that it was coming. Look up. Our redemption draweth nigh. I've known that JESUS/GOD was coming to save us, all my life. It's always felt so close, and yet, so far away. But it's gotta be close now. So close. He is with us, always. Hallelujah, AMEN.

[@Christilear]

Kim, I have listened to and sing along with you for well over 10 years now... a true blessing and so grateful for this season of you sharing your testimony! Thank you simply doesn't seem enough but I'll say it forever...thank you and I thank the LORD JESUS for his work in and through you. 🙏 Holy Spirit is always right on time! 🙌 thank you LORD!

[@ginohidalgo1646]

Yup! I’m the “weird” one!! The enemy tried so hard to shut my mouth by using people of my church to tell me “we don’t sing like that” or “you’re too loud” long story short 10 years later I’m still at the same church with the same people who the enemy had tried to use shut me up, praising God with all that he has giving me!!! Love to sing out loud and if that means I’m the only one so be it but I will never go back to where the enemy had my mouth taped shut on Sundays. 🔥 I’ve only shared the whole details of my testimony with a few people at my church but the response is always “wow and here I am thinking of leaving church because I was looked at weird Or they hurt my feelings” thanks Kim for everything you are doing to advance the kingdom of God!!! 🙏🙌

[@Marys1Diary]

Kim, hi honey! I see that you are trying so hard to understand and build the right way to do things and I want to tell you that you don't need to... There's bad in pretending to speak for someone and explain their views, no other but the self can do that, I believe that is wrong to speak for someone and way more when that person has a live on the realm... We all get a chance to be here and do and say what we want, when we leave we don't want any other to speak for us, no matter how accurate or not they could be... Let each one person decide what to do with what they understand about praying... Personality I love nice voices singing, that's why I chose your songs when you came across my feed... And I love the lyrics too, specially the one you mentioned you just want to be in the presence, yes, enjoy that as much as you please and know that experience is yours to keep but not everyone will live it the way you do... Church on Sundays have different experiences for many people, don't trying to stablish a certain way to look at things because that's why we all have eyes, each person will look at things from their perspective and will enjoy from their perspective... I bet you a million dollars that many people go to church just because they want to socialize or just because they like the sense of belonging somewhere... At church everyone sings, maybe you've been to many where people don't sing because when you are singing all they could be wanting to do is to hear you, but trust me that in every church no matter their voices everyone sings... And the music industry is just humongous, giant, out of this world huge because most of humanity loves music, if I had to choose someone for a singing project be it religious or not I would choose someone who has the nicest voice, I wouldn't treat it like if whoever that doesn't even have a nice voice can be in front of a mic and I would spend millions in putting that out there for many not to like it, you know what I mean? The music industry is not evil, it's a mean where artist get to be known and believe me that much of their success is coming from their overall qualities... So I'm watching you lately being so stressed for something you shouldn't be at all... Be yourself, express yourself but don't worry about the industry taking over the planet or feeling the assignment to make it the right way to do things... Don't worry be happy Kim 🌟

[@AlephTavWay]

As the children of Israel went out to battle, the priest were put in front to sing, praises, and give glory to God. One day we will be kings and priests.

[@MelodyJoy26]

Singing is one of the very very few activities that make all the lobes of the brain communicate with each other. Truth that we learn in song sits deeper than things we learn other ways. Also, when we sing in community, the heartbeats of those singing together synchronize, and people experience a greater sense of community and belonging. So, I wholeheartedly agree, we need more group singing from the whole group ❤️🔥❤️🔥 I get so excited when o see more and more people in our congregation singing during the worship!!

KIM!!!! thank you for always being an obedient daughter of the King. God is using you and your voice this season to bring a focus on true and pure worship unto him from the church. I pray many blessings over you and a hedge of protection from the Lord God Almighty. Keep using your voice and following the Holy Spirit's lead. We love you!

[@kenmorse2488]

1 Cor 14:26 "What then shall we say, brothers and sisters? When you come together, each of you has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. Everything must be done so that the church may be built up." does not mention worship leader, or even pastor. I've a little bit of understanding of the Azuza street revival and it sounds like the above. Reflecting on this issue I've realized I've not memorized many songs because I don't have to --- there's an overhead projector or TV screen. Jesus and his disciples sang hymns together and that apparently without a guitar. Having one person responsible for hearing from God we miss the beauty of allowing whom the Spirit might choose, instead of the professional angle. We become dependent upon man instead of Holy Spirit. Yes Holy Spirit can and does use worship leaders, but is that the most healthy paradigm all the time?

[@RosemarieVelazquez]

God's truth is Powerful!! I'm so happy I was led here. My first time here🥰

[@parfenyj]

Great point about communal singing! I have often thought that worship would be better without the PA system. In many churches going totally unplugged would also sound a lot better... and it would draw in the people better too. Amplification creates a two-tier setting - those who are (good enough to be) amplified and those who aren't. But 100% unplugged that barrier is gone.

[@briandalrymple9986]

I absolutely agree with you about worship becoming hijacked by the industry. It used to be, as you so rightly said, where everyone would sing in church, and the question is, why? The reason; Songs were easy to learn, glorified God, enabled a freedom that allowed an entering in and worshipping from a spirit led heart. Now the songs are convoluted with more words and melodies that do need greater singing and musical abilities than was once required. The music industry has a lot to answer for, and must take blame for complicating how worship now is. Also, song writers have dropped the ball too, by allowing themselves to be entrapped into thinking, “More is better”, instead of, “Keep it simple stupid”. I find myself now longing for the simpler songs that allowed for familiar chord progressions, simpler rhythms and simpler words to memorise.

[@MelizaSurdi]

Kim - thank you. Gosh I’ve been following you since nursing my firstborn and he’s going to be 13 this year! I am so thankful you are doing these beautiful podcasts and I look forward to watching your series every Friday morning as I’m working out it on the treadmill (mom life lol) and your heart and your words just truly speak to me and this one helped me in particular because I love getting to lead worship in my home with my babies, my most favorite place to be is homeschooling them and getting to worship with them and this just spoke to my heart so much! I feel like you get it and you understand and the Lord just has me learning so much from these quick short episodes that hold so much depth😭🤍thanks girl!

[@marielundstrom7694]

I love Elevation worship. That team just seems so genuin. But when I saw that if you pY "extra" for the worship concert, you get to "meet these worship" stars", my heart was just sad. Sad for them, because I dont think they see themselves as "stars". This is what "The industri" does. And we need to help eachother stop this nonsens😢❤.

[@jonathanburton7825]

As the saying goes, you hit the nail on the head! Love your perspective. Personally worship is such an integral part of my Sunday but also my everyday life

Amen in the 90’s the most beautiful times shared with my family the church singing sometimes even with only voices our leader 75 yr old woman Ellen Scott was not talented but her voice would be off key yet Anointed beyond talent as the Holy Spirit would tangibly show up each week as we all came together singing to the Lord most beautiful moment s of the presence of our Lord

I remember a funny story about worshipping with your music, it was your album Here is my song, I found it one night and downloaded it. I was going through some stuff at the time, anyway I played it in the middle of the night and I started worshipping with it and was singing and praying in the spirit with it and someone angrily came into my room and said you can’t sing that loud in the middle of the night I thought it was hilarious cos I didn’t even realise it. God bless you ❤

You are blessed and fully protected by God 😇 Worship is so powerful 🙌 🙏 There's nothing like standing firm in the presence of God and pouring your heart out thru praise. That's where The Holy Spirit fills you, strengthens you, empowers you, loves you in such an intimate way. All the angels in heaven sing praises to Our Father daily so why should we be any different? Jesus deserves all the honor, glory, and praise... so let's lift our voices in praise to our dad who saved us, delivered us, redeemed us, and continues to workout our Salvation. Giving us a new spirit, a new hope, new joy, a new song 🎵 He is worthy!! 🙌✝️🙌 The worldly industry has no place dipping their hands in such a sacred act in an attempt to disrupt, destroy, distract, change and take away from the sanctity of a truly intimate, personal, Holy, and anointed appointment with Our Heavenly Father. Our Father is so delighted and proud of you. He is with you! Blessing everything you touch and every step you take for His Glory and to build up our brothers and sisters in Christ for Revival. For Revival is soon to come in Jesus Mighty name 🙏 Continue to Stand strong in the faith! For your your brothers and sisters, Our Father, and Heavenly Angels are fighting along side you in Jesus name. With love from your sis in Christ. God bless you 🙏 ❤️
