I just posted a song from my newly recorded Italian Project at www.myspace.com/davidbaronimusic click

It is called “Hear My Cry” (Odo il grido mio) and was written by myself and Meg Everhart. The duet was sung (magnificently I might add) by my translator, Alessandra Masdea.

I hope you enjoy it and will pray for the Kingdom success of Il progetto italiano -Canti spirituali di lode e adorazione

Also, don’t forget to download the free new song “I Will Worship” at www.davidbaroni.com

I am so pleased to recommend my wife Rita’s new book: “Fragrance of Grace”.

She shares in a wonderful, warm way her story of redemption. Here is a description about the book:

…Rita’s story of healing from a painful childhood reinforces in poignant and humorous ways God’s faithfulness and nearness. Rita’s desire is to bring hope, healing and freedom to God’s children. Her vision is to love well, laugh much, and enjoy the journey. As you read this book, Rita’s prayer is that you will be aware of the very special Fragrance of Grace…

You can order Fragrance of Grace today at our online store

Ciao from Rome, where Rita and I are ministering for the next two weeks. (Somebody’s got to do it!)

Godrest and Godspeed,

While in Romania a few weeks ago, I heard two profound things. Early in the morning after I arrived in Timisoara, I opened the guest room window and heard… nothing! The sound of silence was stunning. No highway noises, people talking, horns beeping…nada!

As I tuned my ears to the silence, small sounds were magnified. A bird flew past the window and I could actually hear it’s wings flapping. This experience underscored just how noisy my life usually is. It was wonderful.

The second sound I heard was also early in the morning, it was also profound. It was a Sound of the Spirit… the Sound of Heaven.

In Genesis, Adam and Eve heard the “sound of the Lord God walking in the garden.” Some translations say they heard the “Voice” of the Lord walking…” I love that imagery. The Sound of Heaven is the sound of the vibrant praises of the passionate Romanian believers from the school of worship. It is the sound of the beautiful Ecuadoran dancers as they worshiped the Lord in Quito this past weekend. It is the sound of the Spirit- the sound of worship.

“Sound of Heaven”
David Baroni

Listen…. do you hear it?
There’s a sound arising in the earth
Growing stronger… in the nations
It’s the sound of worship it’s the sound of grace
As a desperate generation seeks His Face

It’s the Sound of heaven filling the earth
It’s the sound of freedom it’s the sound of Love
The Breath of God is blowing bringing life to these dry bones
Blow Wind blow
Flow River flow
Fill the earth… with the sound of heaven

Listen… can you feel it?
There’s a sound arising in this place
Getting louder… by the minute
It’s the sound of passion it’s the sound of joy
It’s the very Life of Jesus in our praise!

It’s the Sound of heaven filling the earth
It’s the sound of freedom it’s the sound of Love
The breath of God is blowing bringing life to these dry bones
Blow Wind blow
Flow river flow
Fill the earth… with the sound of heaven

It’s the sound of unity
And true humility
The sound of power
And healing in His name
You can hear it in the silence and the mighty rushing wind
The voice of God is walking in the garden again!

You can fast forward if you can’t speak Romanian! I start sharing at one hour and twenty minutes into the evening. It’s a message called “The Sound of Heaven”.
These folks are precious and powerful in God. Thank you for being interested in our ministry!

WorshipConference- Agape Church Timisoara, Romania August 28

Leaving on Friday, Aug. 22, to go to Timisoara, Romania for a worship conference and to share at Agape Church and the Worship School. My friend Wayne Tate helped start the school and opened the door for me to be able to make this wonderful trip.

On the way back I will stop in Venice and visit with my friends Steve and Patti Gray in Padova, Italy. I will also minister in a worship Encounter and concert Saturday and Sunday, August 30 and 31.

I am so thankful for the opportunity to share the Kingdom of God with people all over the world.
Thank you in advance for your prayers and encouragement.

Godrest and Godspeed,

I am listening to an hour of “Piano Praying 2″. It was recorded in a prayer time in Valley Center, KS earlier this year. As people walked around, or knelt or laid before the Lord, I ministered to God on the piano for the whole hour- which passed by quickly!

I trust that it would be a blessing to you as well. It is available as a free download at www.davidbaroni.com I would especially recommend Piano Praying 2 (there were 3 noontime sessions that are similar and available).

Godrest and Godspeed

In my prophetic and songwriting classes, I exhort the students to keep their spiritual eyes and ears open to receive revelation from the Holy Spirit in myriad ways. Some are spectacular; like an effervescent sunrise or a drive through the mountains. More often, God speaks to me in the midst of the mundane. In the case of this blog, I heard from God through mis-reading a book title.

I was in Dallas, TX recently for the Worship Institute. While resting for a rare few minutes in our hotel room, I noticed the title of a Jan Karon book my wife was reading. I thought that the title was “Fight From Heaven”. Then, upon a closer look, I saw that the book was actually entitled “Light From Heaven”.

However, the phrase “Fight From Heaven” began to rattle around in my worship-addled brain.

As new creatures in Christ, believers are those who see the invisible, hear the inaudible, declare the unspeakable and hold the intangible. We view heaven as not just a far-off place that we will go to one sweet day, but a present (though of course invisible) reality to those who are led by the Spirit. We live by faith and as Paul the Apostle so eloquently and paradoxically declared: “We look not at the things which are seen for those things are temporal (of earth, temporary) but we behold the invisible.” (My paraphrase).

So we fight, yet not us but Christ the Warrior-Worshipper fights through us with mighty weapons that pull down strongholds and everything that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. We “fight from heaven”!

We live, yet not us, but Christ lives in us. We live from heaven. We sing from heaven, give from heaven, bless from heaven, pray from heaven, parent from heaven. Every aspect of life has potential to be lived “from heaven” by the grace of God, and the Presence of Christ in us the hope of glory.

In living from heaven (back to Jan Karon’s book title) we will also be “Light From Heaven”.

The theme for the 2008 Worship Institute was: “Embracing His Presence”. We did. And He embraced us.

It was a wonderful time of being with old friends, meeting some new ones and being held, challenged, encouraged and transformed by the Presence of our God. Ross Parsley, John Stevenson, Steve Fry, Dr. Jack Hayford, Leanne Albrecht, Robert Stearns and my dear friend Bob Sorge, among many others, ministered the grace and Word of the Lord this full week.

I enjoyed helping in the band, playing with Carl Albrecht, Karry Godwin and Rich Severson on guitar, Darrell Wren on bass and singing with my wife Rita, Lani Stacey, Meg Everhart, Antonia Lawrence and Erik Eskelund. My classes went well and many people responded to the song inspired and written with my African friends: “I Rest In You” (Not Afraid).

One person commented as we received a spontaneous love offering one session for a family in need: “Finally we didn’t just talk about it, we are doing it!”

What a week, time to rest!

Godrest and Godspeed,
David Baroni
