This is the song that I got my signature from. The last music thread I started got a little heated, so I'll be more careful this time ;). Anyways, I love her music and latest CD. All very powerful music.

Re: People Get Ready // Misty Edwards
 

She's my favorite!!:thumbsup

Re: People Get Ready // Misty Edwards
 

favorite what?

Re: People Get Ready // Misty Edwards
 

Contemporary worship leader. I love her passion. She's amazing in person!

Re: People Get Ready // Misty Edwards
 

I prefer a different style of music,but I can appreciate this.

Re: People Get Ready // Misty Edwards
 

Some of yall might enjoy this.

Re: People Get Ready // Misty Edwards
 

Yeah... not for me.

To me it just feels like a musical drive. IMO... this is more of something that moves people in a way that is very similar to an actual rock or heavy metal concert. The beat, the repetition etc.

I know that I am guilty of the same things in some of the songs I choose. I try to be diligent to choose songs whose value revolve around the impact of the words of the song. I feel that each song has a message and a method. The thing I strive to do is not get caught up in letting the method be my choosing factor.

Re: People Get Ready // Misty Edwards
 

I can see your point, but personally-I'm against the same thing. I pick music like this because of the powerful lyrics, not the hype.

Re: People Get Ready // Misty Edwards
 

she still does that wierd hicup thingy at the end of each line.

I think she thinks its cute. it bugs me....

Re: People Get Ready // Misty Edwards
 

There are a number of people who do that. To me it bears a sensual undertone to it.

I don't care for it either.

Re: People Get Ready // Misty Edwards
 

I couldnt put it my finger on what bothered me about that. I think you nailed it.

Re: People Get Ready // Misty Edwards
 

I admire her passion for what she does. I still don't like the music--or the singing. She has a good voice, but as you pointed out--several annoying bad vocal habits.

Kari Jobe is a better version of this style, IMO.

I do agree with D4T that some musical styles will hype up the crowd, no matter what the lyrics are--which is no big deal, really--except it can't be mistaken for being 100% spiritual. You'll get the same reaction at a rock concert, because music is very powerful in and of itself.

I'm not objecting to being moved emotionally by music--I just don't think we should confuse that emotion for being moved by the Holy Ghost. Sometimes the two can work in tandem...and sometimes it's just one or the other.

Re: People Get Ready // Misty Edwards
 

Im not a fan, but if anyone is, good for you. I do recognize there is something here to be enjoyed but as others have said, dont confuse driving rock music (which I happen to like alot both in christian and secular music) for the power of the Holy Ghost.

Re: People Get Ready // Misty Edwards
 

I think we have been here before. Well I dont mind saying again what I've already said.

Misty is the best Christian Musician bar none in my 35 years of listening to Christian music. When I first accidently discovered her songs on Youtube I was really impressed.

Then when I found out that she prays long hours a day and fasts for many days at a time I was impressed all over again and I realized then why I had been impressed in the first place. It is the work of the Holy Spirit.

Her music has it (almost) all IMO. Deep passionate love for Jesus Christ. Strong holiness teaching and even judgment to come!

She is also a post trib believer and is not ashamed.

Im sure there have been others like her all along in music but as for me I have not found them yet.

Re: People Get Ready // Misty Edwards
 

Hey, I've been to that church. I even saw him with Poco not far from that church before he was a pastor.

Re: People Get Ready // Misty Edwards
 

I can see what some of you are saying, but if you ever saw her in person and felt the passionate love for Jesus, you would feel differently. I know that she's a person of great faith and prayer. It's just a different style, and I don't usually like repetitive stuff, but having been in service with her I appreciate her alot more.

She would be deeply disturbed by the comments about sounding sensual. That would not in any way be her purpose in singing.

And yes, Kari Jobe is another one of my favorites. She went to ORU with my daughter before she became well known, and led chapel worship alot. She's amazing!

Re: People Get Ready // Misty Edwards

Misty On Worship

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZ5Rl...eature=related

Re: People Get Ready // Misty Edwards
 

There is a spirit behind the music that is for sure...but I don't think it's the Lord...

it is interesting to see what people feel and don't feel about this stuff....

Re: People Get Ready // Misty Edwards
 

Hey meathead, this is the same singer that everyone is using for "Cardboard Testimony" me included, so go eat something deep-fried and shaaadduuuup already :)

BTW, thanks for posting on my facebook, it meant a lot while in the slammer er, hospital. I cracked up when one of my single choir members thought you were witty and inquired about you...I had to scare her off before Michelle opened up on her :)

As far as you guys who don't like her..fine, cool, we get it...but to start saying she thinks she's sensual or that there is a bad spirit, come on dudes, you ain't that intuitive. (I don't know what that word means, it just sounds good)

You know you all sound like those moro---um, people, who attribute drum beats to Zulu with-doctors, hence, no good beats in church

BTW, FERD, I don't like the little singy thing she does either, but just because it's annoying.

Re: People Get Ready // Misty Edwards
 

I don't listen to her music, except when my wife prays with it in the background I sometimes hear it, but I can tell you that thousands of people on the mall were worshiping while she sang and led prayer here in DC this summer for The Call. Not only can she sing but this woman knows how to pray.

Re: People Get Ready // Misty Edwards
 

Thanks BeanDip... yes witty is a gift and a curse...:)

I'm glad your doing better.....

Re: People Get Ready // Misty Edwards
 

What is "cardboard testimony"?

Re: People Get Ready // Misty Edwards
 

Re: People Get Ready // Misty Edwards
 

That is the major criteria for me in choosing music. Her songs have a dramatic Biblical flow as much as any I have heard except they be nothing but scripture itself. As far as being like a rock concert YHWH does say he likes it loud!

Re: People Get Ready // Misty Edwards
 

I would be interested in hearing why you think its not of the Lord?

Re: People Get Ready // Misty Edwards
 

I was thinking the same thing.

As well as wondering what type of spirit is behind the judgemental thoughts you are thinking about this girl who is offering praise to Jesus.

Re: People Get Ready // Misty Edwards
 

Good song, lyrics, but it's not my style of music.

Re: People Get Ready // Misty Edwards
 

I for one love music, all kinds of music, but I wonder sometimes the danger of worshiping the music over worshiping the Creator...

Music can move emotions without there being any praise involved... a sad song, a heart wrenching song, a dancing song, so many different songs can provide a myriad of emotional responses....one of my favorite songs is sung by Brooks and Dunn call Written in Red (I think) this song makes brings a tear every time I hear it but I don't consider it worship even tho it is talking about the Word of God and the Words of Jesus Christ...

it is just interesting to see the emotional response of those who respond even here considering the sacredness of worship to the moving and sometimes beguiling spirit of music...

It reminds me that Satan himself was the song writer and choir leader in heaven and even in worship the carnal can seem spiritual but the spirit of the music can be as earthly as it seems heavenly...

just thinking...but this my opinion only....:)

Re: People Get Ready // Misty Edwards
 

The biggest problem I have with this is when you say our emotions can be stirred with no praise....

Although that CAN be true I dont see why it would fit Misty more than any other psalmist of any other style? When I see the video's of her and see young faces worshipping the Lord I am thrilled!

I know how over the years I have heard the Baptists and other non Pentecostals say the very same thing about Pentecostal shouting. Its all emotion and nothing to do with the Spirit!

I know how I myself am moved to praise and worship when I hear her.

I would challenge you to find ANY of the lyrics to ANY of Misty Edwards songs that are earthly and carnal.

Hair's too short.

:ursofunny

Re: People Get Ready // Misty Edwards
 

that little hickup thingie is a major criteria for me listening to someone. I dont like it when anybody does it. its irritating.

but if you like her and you think hicuping at the end of every line in a song is purddy then more power to you.

She prays. that is wonderful. some folk I love pray a lot too. some other folk pray a lot.. Like LS and brother Teklamarian.

Prayer is awesome. However it isnt the only thing one should use for validation of a message....or messanger...


God bless you one and all.

Re: People Get Ready // Misty Edwards
 

If a Oneness Pentecostal woman with uncut hair and wearing a dress were to sing one of the songs Misty sings would that make all the difference to any of you who object to the "spirit behind" the songs Misty sings?

If the message of the song glorifies Jesus and causes us to worship Jesus, I'd say the spirit behind the song is of God.

Re: People Get Ready // Misty Edwards
 

Well we sang our own rendition of the song used for Cardboard Testimonies- but the one who made that song more memorable I think is Kim Walker.

She doesn't do the hiccup at the end, the one that Ferd hates so much.

BTW-I like Misty Edwards for the All Consuming Fire better than this song.

I think we're quite capable of determining what is good music without the bias that you suggest. :coffee2

Re: People Get Ready // Misty Edwards
 

I really like this one, too.

Re: People Get Ready // Misty Edwards
 

I'd like to think so as well but I know it is not always so.

Re: People Get Ready // Misty Edwards
 

WOW! We have been here on this isolated island for so long,way behind on the *IN* style. ;)
Are there any that still sing Amazing Grace,The Old Rugged Cross, or I See A Crimson Stream Of Blood?
