As music ministers, we serve our church communities. We can only give what we already have received. As we lead people into the presence of Jesus, we must first be filled with His presence. A problem is that Jesus says that we will experience tribulation, distress and suffering. Then He tells us to be courageous, confident, and filled with joy because He has overcome the world. Like King David, we must learn how to strengthen ourselves in the Lord. Let’s talk about how to be encouraged and spiritually energized with power through His Spirit.
