Description
Spirit Led Worship
Worship leading under the direction of the Holy Spirit is less talked about than any other aspect of running a worship team. There are many conferences, and a plethora of books and videos available to Music Directors, regarding the best way to maximise the potential of the team, how to deal with personalities, about excellence and practice techniques, about you as a leader, coordinating the band, how to encourage your team, and so the list goes on. These are the workings or mechanics of running the team. When it actually comes down to learning to work with the Holy Spirit, there is a large silent pause.
In John 16:14, Jesus, speaking of the Holy Spirit, explains:
“14 He will glorify me, for He will take what is mine and declare it to you.” – John 16:14 ESV
Given that it is the Holy Spirit who reveals God’s glory to us, surely He should be in charge of our worship. Who better to help us worship as we ought? Who better to lead us into perfect praise?
This book is an attempt to correlate all the lessons the Holy Spirit has taught Karen over the years. It is through these lessons that Karen hopes that others will go on further than she ever did, bypassing the same mistakes, to run hand in hand with the Holy Spirit to even greater heights.
What Others Are Saying:
Dr Mark Virkler writes:
“Spirit Led Worship by Karen M. Gray is training that is much in demand in the church of Christ. I believe we all understand there is a difference between singing songs to God, and entering into His presence where we worship before His throne, and are touched and transformed by His presence.
People come to church wanting to have an encounter with God. Will we offer them one? This heavenly encounter should be experienced in every part of the service. This includes the preaching, the worship, the body ministry and the release of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Karen’s book trains you how to effectively be a Spirit-led worshipper who can lead a congregation into the presence of God to be touched and healed by Him. This book is both practical and spiritual. Karen covers every aspect of Spirit-led worship from the pre-service prayer, to the what and why we are even singing. We are here to come before His throne and worship along with the heavenly hosts.
John saw this heavenly host worshipping in Revelation chapter four. The nice thing about the Bible is that it is meant to be lived. If John can do this, so can we. Spirit-led worship will train you how to fix your eyes upon Jesus as you worship, sense the moving of His Spirit both individually and corporately, and move with His leading. Now church becomes fun, because it is a living encounter with the living God!
Read, learn, and practice the principles Karen shares and make your personal and corporate worship times encounters with your heavenly Father.
Thank you, Karen, for this very unique, very special and much needed book on the “how to’s” of Spirit Led Worship. May you as a reader of this book be led to participate in Spirit-led worship.”

About the Author
Karen was always involved in music in some capacity even as a small child. So it was only natural for her to begin writing and performing her own songs, even in her early primary school years. Music became such a huge part of her life, that it was normal to see her jotting down some musical phrase or idea that just came to her throughout the course of the day.
Once she was saved and had experienced God's radical life changing love, God raised her into worship ministry where she continued to write worship songs and then to run the local church worship team. Karen recalls:
“As “music director” at my old church, it was my job not just to run the team and ensure there was music each service, but to train up more worship leaders – not to do myself out of a job as I often joked, but to help the new worship leaders leap from my shoulders into their destinies, while using all the skills I had learned from the Holy Spirit.”
She was also invited to speak at worship conferences, ran conferences, and organised intercity & inter-church large worship events, and now has written this insightful and useful book – a book that any aspiring worship leader, and even those who have been leading for some time, can grasp and use to propel their leading into greater heights of worship.
She has also written over 160 Christians songs with an album released over a decade ago and according to the prophetic, has more albums on the way.
Today, Karen still worship leads at various events when asked, but is not part of any particular team. Her focus now is on training the next generation into leaders of glorious worship.
