We are back!

      Okay...a lot has happened since I last posted. I am back in Oklahoma City, where I am originally from. Sometimes things don't happen as we expect or plan for them to. I have never lost the vision that God has given me. I feel like I've been focused on other things but it has always been deep in my heart.
      Through a series of events, the Lord has refocused me and given me clearer direction. I have been working at building a fitness business with the sole purpose of funding the ministry. It hasn't come together as quickly as I would like and like I mentioned I kind of lost my focus for a while.
       I have a much clearer picture of what we will accomplish now. It will be based out of a 24/7 house of prayer in OKC. We will have a worship ministry training center where we will raise up worship leaders and teams (along with intercessors) to go to other nations as a forerunner for evangelistic and missionary endeavors. They will be funded, trained, and prepared to create an open heaven in the region they are assigned to. We will have a sister team in the OKC house of prayer who will worship and intercede at the precise times that the overseas team is worshipping. We may even set up Skype so that some communication can occur between the lead intercessors.
      Please pray for my business to prosper so this can be funded and pray for contributors and investors to partner with us. I sense this is a key to what the Lord wants to do in the earth in this hour. I will be updating and sharing more on a regular basis. Please communicate to me through our main email worshiprevolution@yahoo.com.
Be Blessed,
Gary Barnes, Founder

Deep Calls to Deep -2nd CD - Watch of the Lord Series

I have just completed the 2nd CD in the Watch of the Lord Series entitled, "Deep Calls to Deep". The second watch of the night is a time of Thanksgiving and of asking the Lord to prepare us for what lies ahead. This CD is also an instrumental cd with some scriptures and prayer. Featured on "Deep Calls to Deep" is a prophetic flow with me on the keyboard, Tes Rogers on the flute, and Cara Rogers on the violin.

I should have the finished copies in a few weeks. If you would like to preorder your copy to help with production costs, I know you will be blessed.

Worship Revelations

Please post comments to this blog and share revelation on worship that the Lord has given you.

Hosting His Presence

On Father's Day, June 15th, the Holy Spirit visited Freedom Congregation of Colorado Springs and directed us through Sam Brassfield to host the Ark of His Presence for ninety days. We have been doing so and it has been life changing! Dutch Sheets was directed by the Lord that we suspend all "normal" church services and activities so we can focus all of our attention on ministering to the Lord. The second part of Sam's word from the Lord was that after we host His Presence for ninety days, it will be released to the nation. You can read details from Dutch at this link - http://www.nationalgpa.org/.

The last three days of this ninety day period are September 11 - 13. Leaders and worshippers from around the nation will be gathering in Colorado Springs for three days of 24/7 worship. We believe those that come will be released to carry His Glory to this nation!

New Instrumental CD - In the Shadow of His Wings

I have just received a supply of my new CD. To purchase, please click the link above or at the bottom left side of this page. I first began working on this CD so our intercessors could have something to pray to that was a continuous flow instead of one song after another with breaks in between.

I am very blessed to have the endorsement of both Dutch Sheets and Chuck Pierce on this project. It is the first of a four CD Series entitled, "The Watch of the Lord". Each watch has a different focus and sound. The first watch is to still our minds from the activities of the day and meditate on the goodness of the Lord. "In the Shadow of His Wings" is an instrumental CD that will help lead you into His secret place.

Only those who love the “quiet place” of His Presence can take you there and few people love it as much as Gary Barnes. Leave the cares and distractions of this life behind and allow His anointed gift to escort you into Heaven’s courts.

---Dutch Sheets

Gary Barnes has caught the vision and sound that will assist you during your time of seeking the Lord, to know Him in a more intimate way. Many of you know that my life has always revolved around the prayer watches. Every watch has great significance. God is a god who has ordered our day. The first watch, the Evening Watch, is the watch of meditation. Gary has captured an incredible sound on this first of his four CD series, “The Watch of the Lord”. This sound will help you quiet your emotions and reflect upon the hours that you have spent during what we call “work time”.

Meditation is one of the few disciplines that is practiced by every known religion. This is the least practiced discipline for God’s Kingdom people. I believe the Lord is restoring this discipline so we can prosper in our future. Sound produces movement. Let the sound on “In the Shadow of His Wings” cause you to not only order your steps for the day ahead, but give you revelation on how to prosper in a greater dimension as you move forward on your path.

The Lightning of God

The Lord began unfolding an image in my spirit last night of a lightning strike of His Glory. I saw His Throne with lightning and thunder emanating from His Majesty. Then I saw earth and those gathered to worship, intercede, war against the enemy...His children who are desperate, hungry, and thirsty. In nature a strike of lightning goes up from the earth as well as down from the sky. There is something about the spot where the strike occurs that attracts the discharge of power from above. The attraction of His Glory is our heart cry, our worship and desperation for Him! The lightnings of God are about to strike the earth in areas where His people have repented, sought His face and cried out in desperation to Him. To some it will look like destruction. You see, His Goodness is His Glory. He is so Good that when His Glory comes, it is destructive of evil. It's only the Blood of Jesus that keeps us from being destroyed when His Glory comes.

John G. Lake prophesied before he passed over, " I can see...that there is coming from heaven a new manifestation of the Holy Spirit in power, and that new manifestations will be in sweetness, in love, in tendersness...beyond anything your heart or mine ever saw. The very lightning of God will flash through men's souls."

"From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. Before the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits of God." Rev. 4:5

"His splendor was like the sunrise; rays flashed from his hand, where his power was hidden." Habakkuk 3:4

Let our worship be an attraction for His Glory!

Revival

My mind began to drift back this morning to the mid to late nineties when Brownsville was going strong and the fire seemed to be spreading to many other churches and cities. The church I was in was so hungry for God and the pastor was the most desperate man I've ever known. I was the worship leader and many services were totally guided by the Holy Spirit. The worship team would meet before service for prayer and it wasn't uncommon for several members of the team to be so lost in the Spirit or on the floor under the weight of His Glory that they missed the beginning of the service. I will never forget the cry for revival and for souls. Many times during worship the wail of the intercessors rose above the sound of our worship team.

I know the next wave coming is going to be so much greater and more than we have ever imagined. My heart cry is - Lord, please let it be soon! I can't begin to explain why moves of God come in waves. I suspect it's because things need to change in the Body of Christ and flesh gets in the way. I know the enemy also attacks moves of God but he is no match for the Glory of God. Satan can only prevail when the carnality of man gets involved.

I know we are coming into new revelation and the proper alignment of the Body of Christ concerning the apostles and prophets is being accomplished. I believe this proper alignment will bring the next move of God along with signs, wonders, miracles, and societal transformation. I believe the next revival will be more about advancing His Kingdom and changing nations. A new level of authority and governmental anointing will bring us to the place of lasting change.

At the same time, my heart is breaking this morning. Where are the ones who were so desperate for God? Many have just been caught up in life with ordinary things. Many have gone back to contentment with a more reserved, predictable God. Some have fallen away, wondering if it was just an emotion or if God really can make a difference. I feel God's heart...how He longs to be worshiped...how He misses touching His kids...how He wants to change lives and transform nations.

Father, hear the cry of my heart! I want You more than life! I want to see Your Glory!! Please stir us up. Shake us free from anything holding us back from You. Let us be willing to let you out of the box and make room for your Spirit to move. Keep us in the desperate place. Touch us with Your Fire!
