There's a New Sound Coming!

Can you hear it? Be still and listen! Get your heart and mind quiet before the Lord and tune in to His heart. There is a sound from around His Throne that is being released to earth. A sound of Glory...a sound of Holiness...a sound that will shake the strongholds of the evil one...a sound this world has never known. There is also a sound from earth...a groaning for the sons of God to be revealed. Creation is longing for the redeemed ones who resonate with the sound of His Glory to come forth.

I believe the Lord is raising up worship leaders around the world who are tapping into the sound that will bring heaven to earth. It's more than a new musical style...it's a cry of a heart desperate for His Glory. It will be found by those who are willing to persue the sound that will please the Father rather than a sound that will excite a crowd.

Sound travels in waves and is basically just a slower form of light. If we weren't limited by our natural senses, we could see sound and hear light. The Word says God is light so God is also sound. On the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit came as a sound from heaven. Not a rushing, mighty wind but a sound like a rushing, mighty wind.

Each of us has a sound or a song that is as unique as our fingerprint. No one else can worship God like you can! Blood vibrates at the DNA cycle of the blood donor so God actually heard the sound of Abel's blood crying out to Him. Through the blood of Jesus we are now "in tune" with heaven and can resonate the sounds of His Glory. This is the new sound that will shake the atmosphere, tear down strongholds, and bring His Glory to earth.

Apostolic Worship

Apostolic Worship was a confusing term to me until recently. I have been considered a prophetic worship leader for quite some time and continue to explore His presence through prophetic, sponteneous times of worship. I had a vision a couple of years ago, seeing myself rising into the atmosphere while worshipping and then addressing or making decrees to the powers of darkness. While I am still receiving revelation concerning this, I believe this is apostolic worship. It is simply worship that opens the heavens for apostolic decrees.

At this time I cannot go into teaching of what the apostolic is. I will list some resources soon for those of you who are new to this. You may do a general search for material from C. Peter Wagner and Dutch Sheets if you are interested in studying the apostolic.

I have been interested in studying the physics of sound for a few years now. I will write more about that at another time. Ray Hughes, Joann McFatter and other are receiving some awesome revelation about sound and worship.

The Lord has directed me to connect apostolic worship leaders to discuss principles and revelation that will take worship to the next level. I believe the apostolic movement needs a "new breed" of worship leaders who understand what is means to open the heavens and are willing to lay down their lives to find the sound.

About Worship Revolution Ministries

Worship Revolution Ministries was founded in 2001 in Oklahoma City, OK by me, Gary Barnes. Having many years of experience in music and in leading worship, I was led of the Lord to begin extended nights of worship and intercession. Part of my vision was to raise up young worship leaders and send them out to take worship to the next level. My team and I had regular services a couple of times per month and also ministered in other locations and conferences. We hosted an annual worship and intercession conference at Shekinah Fellowship in Moore, OK. We also had the opportunity to participate in The Cause, fifty days of prayer and fasting in Colorado Springs with Lou Engle and Forty Days in Dallas with Cindy Jacobs.

In March of 2007, I was married to Timmerle and my two teenage children and I moved to Colorado Springs. Timmerle in on staff with Freedom Church and is the head intercessor for Dutch Sheets Ministries. We believe the Lord has "married" worship and intercession! Timmerle and I have been seeking the Lord concerning our ministry together and Worship Revolution. My son, Jonathan, is an accomplished musician and has ministered with me for several years. My daughter, Jessica, is also gifted musically and will be ministering with us soon.

Worship Revolution is more than just a Christian Band or another worship ministry. It is an affiliation of worship leaders and musicians that the Lord is raising up to find the "sound" that will open the heavens over cities, regions, and nations. There is a new sound being released from heaven that we can come "in tune" with and resonate His sound of Glory throughout the earth!

This ministry/blog will be joined by other worship leaders from across the nation and perhaps from around the world to share experiences in worship and revelations from the Throne of God. Keep an open heart to receive all that the Lord has for you as we explore new realms of His Presence!
