During U Squad worship at our 8th month debrief in Swaziland God revealed something important to me about worship. I spoke out and shared what God showed me and I felt like it would be a good idea to share it here as well just as a reminder.
Basically this is what God said…
You are WARRIORS… when you enter worship you are going into a place of battle.
Worship is not an individual thing. It is never just about you… and when we go into worship together, as a community, (because there IS power in numbers), we are unstoppable. But we have to go together, we can’t leave anyone behind — we have to fight for each other, fight to see our brothers and sisters find freedom in worship. We do this so that nothing can or will stop us from entering the throne room together, we have to release each other.
So I speak release over everyone here right now. Release of your giftings. Use them. Fight to bring each other up into a deeper place of worship. Now is the time to use those giftings. There are people here who are hurtingand bound. You are at war. And you are VICTORIOUS WARRIORS. No Fear. The battle is won. NO FEAR!!!

-Warriors:
We are not called to merely live a passive life. We are called, gifted and released to act as warriors in a battle.
-Worship is a battleground:
When we enter a posture of worship our focus is placed solely on God. We declare truths about who God is and who we are. This is a direct offensive attack against the enemy.
-Worship is not an individual thing:
First off it always takes at least two – you and God. There is power when we take time to worship alone. When we worship on own it builds up our one on one relationship with God. When we come together it causes the atmosphere to shift. That doesn’t happen to give us a thrill so we can go home happy. It is meant to release us. We are made bold and are empowered to step out and use the gifts we’ve been given to bring freedom to our brothers and sisters.
-Now is the time to use these giftings:
When you enter worship be prepared and obediant to step out. When you begin to use your gifting to bring freedom it will enable you to go deeper into worship together.
-No fear:
This goes back to the message Chelsea spoke before worship. Behind your greatest fear lays the door to your greatness. We are victorious and nothing can stop us. God forward and use your gifts to build up and release your brothers and sisters. NO FEAR. Don’t let anything stop you.
As we seek to bring greater freedom and use our gifts to build them up and set them free we are able to go father together.
