The Worship Warrior: Ascending in Worship: Descending in War (Lifepoints

by Chuck D. Pierce, John Dickson

According to the authors, the Church is being prepared to enter its most dynamic season of warfare, worship and harvest. The key to victory during this time will be our worship. When we praise God, He comes into our midst and manifests His rule and authority in our environment. He actually abides with us and "seats" Himself in the very center of our lives to lead us in the paths He chooses for us. When we ascend in worship we go to the throne of God and receive our strategy from Him to fulfill His purposes on Earth. In effect, we align with God's purposes and then we descend with our marching orders to accomplish those purposes. The result of this supernatural process will be a great harvest of souls for God's kingdom.

.... ascending to descend.... if we can grasp this truth we can not only see our surrounding from a different prespective but also change them..... His Kingdom come NOW.... on earth as it is in heaven

This is an incredible book. A must read for anyone who is in church service, especially if you are on the worship team. This book will help solidify your team under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Really faith enhancing.

Very good book although you would probably need to re-read to absorb it.

This is a book that I keep reading over and over again and always I am gleaning new nuggets! For those with a worshipper's heart, it is a MUST read!!!

Couldn't get past the 3rd page. It just doesn't line up with scripture. I find this shocking. Very disappointing. I threw it in the trash.

I was a little conflicted reviewing this book.

The over-arching message of this book (as I understood it) is that looking to God and choosing to worship, regardless of current circumstances. I like, and agree with this message.

I find that Chuck Pierce's books (the two I've read) are quite eccentric. That's not to say that I am against the eccentric (I am quite eccentric myself). Mr. Pierce however, takes this to somewhat outrageous levels.

There is a good message to this book, but it is written in a very odd and confusing way. Chuck seems to invent words as he goes, with no real basis for them, and REALLY reaches a lot of times.

I would say this: Take the good, leave the overly-mystical.
God is mystical (assuming you believe in him) but if crack open the Bible, neither Jesus, nor anyone else really spoke the way he does. It seems to me that he is attempting to write in a similar fashion to the prophets portrayed in the Old Testament. Only the King James edition can rival this word use for confusing the reader.

I was uplifted and encouraged by the good - taken aback by the sheer strangeness of some of the text.

Like I said, take the good - leave the overly-strange.
In my opinion, that is the best way to benefit from this book.

This book is poorly written and badly argued. The author is guilty of taking the tiniest bit of Scripture as a launching pad for the wildest flights of fancy and presenting them, not as the conjectures they are but as fact. Early in the book he states that "reason always leads to disobedience." He clearly must take this to heart, because this book shows no proper use of the ability to reason. Some of the sentences are so poorly constructed that what the actually say is outright heresy. One has to assume that the author meant something other than what he actually said, or else ...

I was very excited to find this book, because this is a topic very close to my heart, but my disappointment with the content grew with each chapter as I read. finishing this thing was torture.
