Attacking the Worship Team

I'm hoping the title of this blog catches your attention...
I've just been really heartbroken over a few things lately. I just hope you all know that if you really want God to break your heart for the things that break His, be ready to feel that hurt and pain when it comes.
Watching friends, watching fellow worship team members, watching anyone.. go through the devil's schemes and slowly fading from the faith is.. horrible.
All we can do is pray, because it's all in God's hands- but it's so hard to not do anything about it. You don't want to judge them or push them away farther, but you also have to lovingly correct their ways, you understand?
Sometimes it's so hard to remember that there is only so much you can do for friends who are backslidden.
All I can do is love them, just like Jesus. That's the best I know how to do. Pray for them and love them- but still stand my ground with my beliefs.

Personally, I know from experience that satan loves to attack the worship teams in churches. If you think about it, all through the Bible, in any battle, in any occasion, the music went first before everything. Even today worship comes before the message, etc. This is because it welcomed God into that place.. the singers and musicians were the 'front line'.
"With great power comes great responsibility".... and with that responsibility, there are greater consequences.. and bigger targets on our backs.
So I see that the devil is really trying to take hold of people involved in worship, because of their huge part in leading others into the presence of God.. and welcoming Him into that place.
But I am also encouraged and strengthened by the fact that the power of God through our worship can heal, help and mend broken hearts, broken lives and broken families. Nothing is impossible for God.
When I get discouraged about my fellow worshippers, I remind myself that God knows what is going on, and He knows the plans and purposes for my friends lives. I may not be able to do anything in my own power to help my friends, but when I pray and I believe.. I know God can do anything. I know He will.

For any of you in the same position.. just don't give up on those people you've been praying for. God is using you in their lives in this season for a special purpose, even if you don't see any progress. God is always working. God is always moving.
