Lord......Why Don't They Like Our Song?

[@defunctdefunctdefunct]

Sometimes the lord’s touch is subtle. People don’t need to fall out all the time.

[@b0unce805]

Amen. It’s easy to get discouraged if you don’t see the congregation getting into it. Remember that the focus is God. We set the atmosphere and he does the work.

[@Melissaeui]

Amen !

[@raphaelhmar9746]

This is cool

[@journeytothekingdom]

Look...I lost it when he said "I know how to get God to come....He's here NOW cuz we're playing LOUD" 😂😂😂

[@marce7718]

🤣🤣🤣

[@kameelahsalaam4553]

🤣😂🤣😂☠️

[@tholotutortholo]

I used to go to a traditional church where we sang from Hymnals with just a piano and that was it. Yet, you could feel the Presence of God. So you're right brother Kevon.

[@rachelmm05]

Yea a lot of folks sleep on hymnals... How Great Thou Art and Blessed Assurance takes me out every time🙂

[@saraheberhardt7570]

This is a lesson everyone who plays at church in the band or sings in the choir has to learn - well said sir

[@jaylene.turner6524]

God is the only one that can move the souls. Singers and musicians have to be under the anointing.

[@rachelmm05]

This is true ... the Lord spoke this to me many years ago... let your singing be a result of your daily worship. In prayer I asked and the Lord said again.. then after much prayer I figured it out... the Sunday hype stuff didnt mean anything if my personal walk with the Lord was a mess. At the time I was just performing but outside of Sunday it was little to go on spiritually. I'd come and sing and give my best even to the point of going home exhausted. And the reason why was cause I was giving my all for 1 day but I lacked worship the rest of the week. It was a difficult lesson but I thank God i was able to see the difference. Now when I sing its flowing from a genuine connection.

[@noyboy100]

We must learn to step back. allow GOD to move forward!! Only then can we be SERVANTS!! Bravo BRO!!

[@ryan-heath]

When I was younger, I learned a valuable lesson. Very often I heard after the service people were blessed and touched during the praise and worship. And in my mind I was like wait what?! With that many errors and mistakes I had made! And I made a lot of errors, I tell you! But I leaned it is not the music but it’s Gods Spirit touching the people. The music is just the vessel He uses, even if it has scarfs or bruises. Nowadays I play a lot better though 😅

[@CalebGriffinEsq]

No more scarfs in your playing? Hee hee. 🙂

[@ryan-heath]

@@CalebGriffinEsq LOL

[@TRIUMPHoverTrials]

Amen

[@joashsantiago6921]

I shared this with my team. There are plenty times when the people look bored (i myself didn't feel blessed)...then some people suddenly came to me after service, telling me they were crying and blessed! That's when I realized that when God moves, HE MOVES ! regardless of what we servants play or feel during service. That's when I learned trust that He's doing something despite me not feelin it 😉

[@Topg1]

As a praise dancer, I often need to learn this lesson. Sometimes God speak I’m a still small voice. A singer named Jason Upton said “ Sometimes out loud praise can be a manifestation of our doubt.”

[@j.b.runkat6426]

This is a legit reminder for directors/leaders 💯

[@peculiarwoman1047]

Yesss! I can't stand when a worship leader or musician don't see folks praising God, they automatically assume that you're not worshiping. So they keep pushing the song. Then got the nerve to say, 'I don't see nobody praisin" or "y'all playin out there". If that doesn't work, now they want to talk to get people going. Like STOPPP! It doesn't mean we ain't listenin, or enjoying the song. Plus, everybody praises in their own way and sometimes folks are just not feelin it. Doesn't mean the choir didn't sing to the best of their ability, or the musicians didn't tear it up. I've been in the choir where we sung awesome, musicians were on point, but no one stood up or clapped. I heard an Amen somewhere that was it, but I didn't let that discourage me. We had a blast up there!

[@taneyahunter8815]

ALL👏🏽OF👏🏽THIS👏🏽

[@benelliott5661]

Just adding that this confirmation has happened to me long ago. Just playing soft music and hymns a mother just started crying. After church, she informed me how the Holy Spirit was just working on her through the soft music. Changed my perspective on the "hype" music since. Quiet time is power time.

[@mrs.b7975]

Never Need to pump and Prime Nobody for How Good God has been to Me/Us

[@jacobbright454]

Watching from Kenya ...brother that feeling gets into me some time.. We all should be encouraged in some way

[@melan12027]

Pamoja bro

[@triciawilliams3687]

Thank you Kevon this came at just the right time I have to lead worship Sunday coming and I am thinking about what package to do and this answered my question. May the Holy Spirit lead me

[@bo_arrow]

Sometimes I feel like the church is the neighborhood stickup kid, forcing you to worship. They be like "lift ya hanss" 👀🥺🙌🏽 😂😂😂😂😂

[@tinishavp8302]

😆😆😆😆😆

[@ECRT1]

Proper 🤣

[@marce7718]

🤣🤣🤣 omgoodness all these comments are cracking me up

[@ileanapabon6374]

Also, I agree 200% with his expressions! Those subtle songs get to your soul and heart!

[@kevinkorave]

Even if I don't FEEL you I KNOW you are present, Lord.

[@AlwaysLime]

Say that! You are so right. I’ve had to get some of that worked out of me this 2021. Just because people don’t hype me up or make me cry… that doesn’t mean The Lord isn’t honored, worshiped and well pleased with our offering of praise. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@kevinlucas9905]

This is the second message like this I have heard/read like this in two days

[@eggward.edward]

Yes. The Lord blessed us with music that He may work through it, even in ways we do not expect and understand.

[@LaRennEstherTV1985]

This so true!!! Even in the sweet stillness he is there! Where 2 or 3 are gathered in my name I am here!!

[@HybridMusicians]

You are so right bro! I feel like we limit the rumble stuff and high praise stuff with “make a joyful noise” or somebody getting a “breakthrough” ...

[@danmarley2886]

I admire this brother, he is a blessing and a gift to us. Grace and Peace.

[@praisealcolic]

Be Still and Know that I AM GOD. That was beautiful.

[@KingdomWithin7]

My guy speaking FACTS! beautiful message my brother 👍

[@sabrinaajacksontodd1703]

Thank you for this. As a former Minster of Music I used to look for the verbal and vocal accolade. I finally accepted the scripture of "doing unto God and not as unto man".

[@MrJanKeys]

This was HILLARIOUS. Thank you pastor Kevon. Excellent message

[@DawnakaPookie]

He took the ultimate "responsibility." ... "No one is raising their hands Lord. FORGIVE ME." Now, that's a lot of pressure to put on yourself. Help him & all of us Lord.

[@NuelsangHeavens]

I love this,just in spirit and truth.

[@TheMikeRodri]

Great encouragement, bro. Timely word after what felt like a rough worship set yesterday. Thank you for using your channel to both entertain and lift up.

[@xBloodBoundx]

Amen Brother in Christ. Just remember, when God speaks it's usually in a still small voice. The upbeat praise and worship is wonderful, but there's also a time to just surrender and bask in His presence. Be sure that you are lead by the Holy Ghost always, and allow the Lord to decide how things should be done. God bless. :)

[@asojourner3534]

God does not need our entertainment for the moving of His Spirit. This is truth.

[@donnies4693]

I’ve watched people from the congregation laugh at me right while I was leading P&W..😂😂🤦🏽‍♀️…sometimes it is Legit a tough crowd, but I have resolved to Worship in spite of..thank God for His Grace..this was great advice, by the way, Man of God…thank you!🙏😇

[@akinakinyemi5564]

Thanks for sharing this. This is so true. It's not the noise or people jumping and shouting, that shows that the presence of God is present or if it ascends to him or that people are truly blessed. We don't have to gratify the flesh to please God.

[@weslieonsando1124]

He speaks in a still small voice. Thank you, Kevon.

[@tatianaanastaciotardoque9658]

True!!! God can moves in every tempo!

[@pureinheart2011]

I tell the dancers that all the time... some times they are more impacted by the presence of God and that's why they are not as expressive. Stillness...sweet presence!

[@MannyGraal]

I love the songs as long as they are inspired by the bible. What more can please God than songs that inspires us to seek God through the word, help us reflect on our lives and seek God more. My opinion, of course. Scripture based songs are the way to go for me.

[@JoeJoe-yp4xz]

Well said. Thank you for the reminder

[@atagaambassador516]

Thanks, man. This is edifying. God richly bless you.

[@boteusorr182]

Amen my bro...well said👍🏽👍🏽 God is and always be. You got my bro🙏🏽

[@markusvhane5087]

I was tearing up by 3:47 mins. Holy Spirit is present in you my brother as He is in me.

[@JohnChandler2006]

Spot on! God isn't limited to how he can move. Still and soft doesn't mean powerless and God's not present.

[@jelliott6005]

This is so encouraging! Thank you!

[@barbjohnson6268]

THAT'S A BIG AMEN!!! WE HAVE BEEN TO SCHOOL. THANK YOU. So encouraging and very wise.

[@writinggospelinhearts9604]

Thank you brother musician🙌🏾 ❤️

[@marce7718]

So true! Omgoodness! I think this all the time! Yes! Be still and know that I am God 🙏🙏🙏 amen amen 🙏

[@samsunguser3438]

Amen! Amen! Amen! Amen! This message is well received Kevon! May God continually bless, keep, favor, prosper, and use you mightily, even as you grow to higher heights and deeper depths in Him!

[@deec1626]

What a word! What a word! Amen Kevon! I hope choir directors hear this too because (as a choir member), we've sang a song for what feels a liiiittle too long, just to get a reaction from the audience.

[@tonjarook9144]

So true brother! I do not know how many times people have said they were blessed after we thought we had failed! 😊🙏🏽🎤🎹👏🙌

[@vuhdizzle3907]

I AGREE!!!! You don’t even know how much I agree. Sometimes you just need to be still and know that he’s God

[@Extraedit]

Thank you for this... I see this alot my church...came in timely

[@paulchalil]

Really to the exact point. God touches the heart. Sometimes you don't even have to sing, you'll drip alot of tears and get connected even while feeling the lyrics, saying the exact thing your life is.

[@Zachariehs]

Love you man. All your videos are so releatable

[@TheDanny1]

Kevon, this is such a relevant word! We think music has to be this way or that way for God to move, but He can move in the stillness! Thank you!

[@shogun8dchosen172]

It’s good to have a peaceful Jesus sometimes…life is stressful enough…good points😅

[@teresawhittley6086]

[@mmpope7590]

That's the difference in the relationship you have with God. The words touch deep in silence.

[@arlenehall1250]

[@mudskipper6702]

It's all about letting go of expectations and trusting what happens

[@JoshSong]

Preach brother. So much truth 🙌🏼

[@Melissaeui]

This is super true , sometimes the praise and worship team can get discouraged when they don't see the congregation hyped up , which is not a good mindset . Thank you for this refreshing message brother . God is our focus

[@starkitty66]

We sing for an audience of One You got to remember that you’re worshipping not performing and it’s hard when all the bright lights are on you, but just keep the spotlight on Him and praising Him. Maybe the people there were praying to flow of the music.

[@Lightinthedark10323]

I love this. My favorite group the Heritage Singers play music that draws my mind to God.

[@ddebraux]

You are starting stuff. "I Need THEE" humbles you so you can say "Yes LORD!" 🙌🏾

[@ypayne9871]

Thank you for this!!!! 😆 🤣 😂 So True! God will show up in the stillness and worship from your soul!

[@naturally953]

You're right, and the Lord moves in many ways, some people worship and feel God's presence by closing their eyes, listening intensely to the words of the song, some sway from side to side, with their hands lifted in praise. There are some that cry within, cryout, moan, run, jump, and even laugh in the Spirit. Either way His presence is felt, is beautiful! 🙂

[@jabarihoyett3064]

That was an on time word for me!

[@simonpetersog]

Lovely explanation. I want everyone to open their eyes and ears to see and understand what music is. ❤️❤️ Music is love.

[@janetkeys8356]

this guy is soooo relatable😂as an pianist i face the same problem n its good to know dat am not alone

[@DrBeeSpeaks]

You have such a beautiful spirit. God moves in stillness. ❤️

[@Achildsan]

LOVE THIS MESSAGE!!!

[@fancynancy504]

Amen. Help the people!

[@AJ-lm5dl]

I have yet to read a Bible verse that said God needs music to show up. We need to remind ourselves that when we perform, it's for God, not the congregation.

[@rayturnermusic]

In church, the music is to express and enhance the feelings generated by the theology. In other words, we're excited about God and music is the byproduct. If we're excited about great playing and singing merely we might as well be at a Silk Sonic concert.

[@MrDexterSr]

FACTS! Thanks for reminding us brother Kev

[@jennifera777]

Searched all over, still couldn't find no greater gospel misician than you. HEY! BABABA 😁

[@kevinvassell7655]

I love that mox 6 just like the one i play at church😌guess I needed to hear this thanks bro✊💯

[@pizmotality6898]

People want- no, NEED to be moved. Don’t feel bad, don’t blame God, MOVE people. Doesn’t need to be loud. Sometimes we need to be led quietly to the water. But…we must be moved. (Regardless of what those nice people said.) 💙

[@justelynnnjoelle]

"okay, He's here now cuz we playin' loud" nahhhhh, God's everywhere, the medium by which you worship Him doesn't matter whether you're rumbling, in tune, out of tune, He is delighted by all praise and worship

[@jordanc.3148]

Wow, thank you for this!!!

[@godwineram8047]

Thanks Brother , hehe I was Feeling that Way Sometimes . What a Revelation

[@robynbrooker9698]

Well said, and SO needed! As a musician/vocalist, I have DEFINITELY been guilty of this! Just feelin' like a total DUD if folk ain't caught up🤣 I must say it was a hurt piece but a needed revelation when I realized that thinking/feeling was making it about me more than about glorifying God.

[@danmarley2886]

If I yet pleased men, I should not be a servant of God. We do all things to the glory of God. Just be that vessel suited for God's use. The quickest way to spoil a minister is to tell him how wonderful he is. This is not to say he shouldn't be encouraged. Grace and Peace.

[@SergeKamondo]

Thank you Brother Musician 🙌 I can relate to that.
