Last Sun night: live worship with Leonard Jones

Last Sunday night, my friend Jeremy and I had the opportunity to see Leonard Jones, the former director of worship at MorningStar, lead worship at Open Heart Ministries in Bothell.  The event was not really advertised, and not that many people in Seattle knew about Leonard anyways, so it was not a large meeting, which turned out to be a good thing.

I had known Leonard from the time I was at MorningStar, and it was good to see him again, this time in my neighborhood.  I chatted with him, and heard about how he is doing.  During the worship set, he shared more about his personal journey in the Lord, over the years.

For worship, Leonard brought two of his old friends, Red and Glenn, both electric guitar players, to jam with.  The leadership at Open Heart was very generous to give them the freedom to play as the Holy Spirit led.  Each person in the "band" took turns to sing his own songs.  Musically, Leonard was playing acoustic guitar, keyboard, and violin, sometimes all three on the same song!

We worshipped to some MorningStar favorites such as Jesus, Bless the Lord, and Burning Bush.  It was a wonderful, powerful, intimate night of worship.  We knew that we were all tremendously blessed by the Lord.

Amazing past Friday at Heaven's Sound conference!

This past Friday I went with my friends Beau, Relissa, and Theres to the Heaven's Sound worship conference in Port Orchard, WA.  This conference was led by one of my favorite worship leader, Suzy Yaraei, from my old church MorningStar Fellowship in Fort Mill, South Carolina, where I attended for over 2 years from 2004-06, before I moved to Seattle.
I was really excited to worship with Suzy again!  (She and her husband Kamran came around here last year as well)  This time they brough Paulette, the young keyboardist/worship leader from MorningStar with them, and it was a tremendously powerful time in the Lord.  Kamran preached the heart of God in the morning, and Suzy spoke at night.  All of us received supernatural breakthroughs and greater freedom than ever before!  I was even re-activated in the prophetic arts.  God is so good!

Below is a video of Suzy's live worship at MorningStar.  The Spirit of God is all over this song.  Watch it!  And the subsequent video is Kamran's personal testimony of how he grew up in Iran as a Muslim and yet met Jesus later on, and now that his life is radically on-fire for Jesus!
