And to answer the question “Can a women lead worship?” “Should a women lead worship?” Well the answer is Heck yeah! Rise up women of God, rise up and take your place for such a time as this. God bless your whole body and bring the balance that only you can bring. Bless your men, women and children, young and old. Let the focus be on you and no man, women or child. Let your body reflect the full beauty that comes when we all take our place..

God uses people how he pleases. The anointing does not have a gender,age or culture, it just is. There needs to be a balance in the family of God. We are not a business but a family, and everyone has a role that is equally important. Women and men can equally serve our God in power an anointing according to how God wants to use them.

There has been much oppression in the church from what I can see as far as men abusing power, that comes from themselves and their own control. It seems at times, not all churches, that men dominate and don’t know how to let women step into the role God has called them to. Women and man need to stand side by side and honor each other. Until the balance in the body comes I don’t think we will see the fullness of what God wants to do on this earth. This can also apply to someone being left out because of age, nationality, or maybe the way they look or dress.

Michelle, that’s awesome that this could be a place of encouragement & discussion. I hope you stay faithful to the call God has placed in your heart/life and that you find the place that sees the value of a person who is called to leadership by God.

Wow…
I’m going through a very difficult time right now, and this post/blog has helped me. I’ve led worship from the keyboard for the last 6 months because there was no one else. During that time God molded and shaped me and showed me who I could be in Him! It was hard and scary, but ultimately it was an unbelievable growing experience. Now, my pastor just informed an elder who told me he doesn’t want me leading worship anymore. He wants one of the associate pastors to do it. It’s so hard right now. I’m searching the Word of God and trying to see if my feelings are substantiated. Should I just be happy for the 6 months? Or is this a true calling from God?
I must say that God continuously spoke in my ear during this time…and it was amazing! I’m at a loss, and searching God’s perfect will for where my ministry should be.
Thank you for posting and bringing up this topic…and thank you to all of you who commented.
Blessings,
Michelle

I’m supporting this idea all the way! I can not imagine who would disagree with it. On the whole – make posts like this more often.

I found this link very interesting. It is a long read but really worth while. It helps us understand what Paul was talking about in context and I found it really freeing. It is very difficult for women to go into the fullness of what God has for them when we have had this yoke put upon us.

I hope this helps.

Hi,

I live in Costa Rica, my mom and dad are both pastors in my church, my mom is not just the pastors wife, and she has made her way through a machista world (by reading your comments I can tell is not a latin thing)

We have about 5 services every week (theres worship in every single service and special events) , our church is attended by six thousend people.

I’m a worship leader, and my worship pastor is an indredible 24years old single man, he is my role model as a worship leader. We are 6 worship leaders ando only two of them ar men (including the worship pastor)

I am writing all this, cause I just think is not a matter of culture,marital status, sex, age… is a matter of being call by God is a matter of HIM being in your life leading you to do the things he wants you to do.

Que Dios les bendiga! =)

Back to Matthews comment, the second one. Sometimes, when I hear Shout To The Lord, I do wish someone had told Darlene she shouldn’t lead worship.

That was a joke. Please don’t take me too seriously.
