The voice of the Lord created the universe (”uni-verse” means “one word”)

The voice of the Lord holds all things together.

Jesus said “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.”
I want to share an encounter that I had with the Lord some years ago in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada when I believe that the Lord through the Holy Spirit sang a word to me that literally changed the course of my life. He just might speak to you through this word that I call:

“The Song of the Lord”

(You can download this single called “The Song of the Lord” in the downloadable singles category in the online store, or you can order the entire CD from the order page in the store.)

Rita and I are in Denver, Colorado this week for a Worship Encounter Weekend at Church in the City. (See Itinerary page on this site for info).

We have been invited by Pastor Gary Hines who heads up Denver Metro Transformation. Also involved are Pastor Felix Gilbert from Restoration Christian Fellowship, Pastor Jude Del Heiro (who Wrote “More Love, More Power) of Confluence Ministries; Billy Sprague, songwriter and musician extraordinaire who now is the worship Pastor at Crossroads Church, and Bradford Richardson, Worship Pastor at the multi-ethnic Church in the City.

The Encounter starts this Friday night, Oct.13, at 7 P:M and continues from 9 A:M to 4 P:M on Saturday. God is up to good things in Denver and we hope you in the area will join us-and pray for us!

Also, be looking very soon for a brand new feature on our site: digital downloadable singles (I want to call them “songles”!)

Almost 200 songs that I have recorded over the years will be available for .99 cents each as MP3 downloads.

And of course we now have soundtrax available, teaching CD’s that will bless you from David and Rita, and songsheets and/or leadsheets for many wonderful, meaningful, relevant, singable worship songs.

When Jesus first was introducing Himself and His ministry He said: Repent -(Change your heart and your mindset- your way of viewing things) and believe the good news for the Kingdom of God is here! There is abundant Life in Christ that transcends gloomy headlines, adverse situations, relational and financial difficulties and by the Holy Spirit we that wait upon the Lord can mount up with wings as eagles, do the works of Jesus and live in abundant Kingdom life NOW!!

Godrest and Godspeed,

Pulse
I have tried to keep the sadness at bay
Until I let it in
Like a long lost friend
Like the waves that break
With a healing ache
I let it out again

   
I have trembled like the last leaf on a barren limb
Until the winter wind
Blows me away again
And I tumble down
To December ground
To find I’m not alone

Life is simple just to live 
No questions asked no answers needed
But my restless heart can’t seem to stay
Content for very long
But peace is here in spite of all I do or do not do
Through the changing of the seasons
And the silence is a song
And my face is growing older in the mirror now
Didn’t take so long
How the years have flown
And the dreams that I have clung to
Some have been fulfilled
Turned to memories
Others never will
But I’d rather feel it all than not feel at all
Take the laughter and the crying
And the Living and the Dying
And the dancing and the laying down to rest
Smiling at my lover and my children and my God
I must confess
I have been blessed  2006 David Baroni

“He taught me how to sing the latest God–song, 
a praise–song to our God.
More and more people are seeing this:
they enter the mystery, abandoning
themselves to GOD.”  Psalm 40:3 MSG
Normally I would talk about the “new song” aspect of the above verses- today I want to write about the mystery- the wonder of Who God is.
 
He is… Holy.
 
The word means “other”. Transcendent, above, different than, indescribable.
 
One of my “big brothers” in the Lord, Steve Fry, was praying about the passage in the book of Revelation where the Living creatures rested not, day and night, crying “Holy, holy holy, Lord Almighty, heaven and earth are filled with Your glory.
 
Steve asked the Lord: “God, I mean no disrespect with this question, I could see saying “Holy holy holy” for an hour, an afternoon, or maybe even- with an extra double cappucino- saying “holy, holy, holy” for a whole day; but wouldn’t saying that over and over resting not day and night forever and ever get a little…
boring?” (Cringe- wait for lightning strike…)
 
He thought He heard Father chuckle:
 
“Steve, first of all if you think something about me is boring, trust Me, the problem is always with your understanding of Me, for nothing about Me is boring- says the Lord!”
 
Then He felt like God gently revealed to Him:
 
“Every time those living creatures cry “Holy” they are responding to Me revealing something of Myself to them.
