MY TESTIMONY: learning how to worship

  • Hey all you lovely people.
    This is a little part of my story... how I found God for myself. How one act of obedience led to countless doors of opportunity. How I learned to worship Him with my own voice and with no restraint. How I learned to grow in my gifting. How I learned to trust Him in the middle of really difficult seasons and praise Him no matter what.
    Here's a little look into how He took me from worshipping all alone in my bedroom, to trusting me with responsibilities as a leader to bring others into His presence.
    How I went from just knowing - about - God,
    to actually KNOWING Him.
    ... from just singing songs, to actually worshipping God through the gift of music.
    ... from being a daughter who followed in her Christian parents' footsteps, to following on the path that The heavenly Father prepared just for her.
    It took commitment & community.
    I hope this video encourages you! If there is anything in particular from this video that you would like to hear more about, just comment it down below.
    But most importantly, I want to hear YOUR story. Please, don't hesitate to share your own testimony below. I love to read testimonies of The Father's faithfulness in the life of others!
    Love you all so dearly.

    Just would like to apologize for the comments I had to go through and delete saying that I am in a "cult". I find it absolutely amazing that someone would take time out of their day to watch a 20 minute long video and watch all of my covers, and somehow come to the conclusion that it would be most encouraging to everybody else to spread lies about someone who just opened up their heart and told their story of their walk with God.
    You know, The Bible says that "you will know them by their fruits". I pray that all of you would see the fruit from God that He has grown so abundantly through my life to reach people like you... the person reading this. Here is what I believe:
    God created everything with His voice... sent His son, Jesus, to bring heaven to earth and to become the sacrifice Who would take my place so that one day, a girl name Melody could have a relationship with Him and a story to tell that could hopefully encourage others. Jesus died, and ROSE AGAIN. He is coming back to establish His kingdom here where all of His people will come together to worship Him forever. And till that day, I believe that people who choose to follow in the footsteps of Jesus, must do whatever they can to shine His light and spread His love... but how? By reading His Word daily, in order to become rooted in the truth behind every word, and to share it with the lives that He has us encounter. He gives us gifts for a reason. And all I am doing is using my gift to bring hope to the hopeless, healing to the broken, and light to the darkness. I really hope you all can see that.
    The enemy isn't gonna keep this girl quiet.

      Hey Melody, you will never be able to have everyone like you. That is true because even Jesus said they will persecute you because of me. My best advice is to overlook comments on the internet. People will say things on the internet that they would never say in person. Don't worry about it. You have an amazing testimony, and keep on loving God because He is the one that matters most. Thank you for the testimony

      Melody, this is the devil trying to attack you because he sees how you are living for God, how you are bringing people to the Father, and how you are impacting people's lives, and he doesn't like it! But God is for you and He has overcome the devil and all evil. Don't let the devil get a foothold or destroy any of your ministry and what you are doing for God, because that is what he wants, and he will do anything to stop you and your ministry because he sees you as a threat to him! Stay strong and firm in your beliefs and trust God through it all! You are so so inspiring and i'd absolutely love to meet you one day :) God bless you xxxx

    Melody, I'm a 40 year old who has known Jesus for a mere 8 and a half years. God gave me a gift of joyful singing, though not big enough to make it beyond my kitchen table, haha, but just recently I am digging deeper in learning piano and believing God wants me to worship more authentically, without fear. I walk in fear and insecurity because of life circumstances...but I'm so encouraged by your testimony. Sometimes I feel sad because I feel so old and like it's "too late" but deep down I know better. I know God can use anyone at anytime, whether they are in a joyous place or in a difficult place. I value your transparency and honesty. I, too, and someone who believes in sharing the Hard in order to encourage and speak Truth into others. It's so worth it, isn't it. Obeying God and realizing He has abundantly more than we can imagine... It's amazing. I've been in a place of shame and sin and captivity. That song "Though You Slay Me" - yes... An anthem that is hard to receive but so humbling. I loved this video. Thank you for your 💓. May everything you do continue to light you up with God's joy and love.

    My God... there is no way that this isn’t God. I somehow stumbled upon your video. I believe there is a blessing spoken over your life. I don’t know what it is but, what I do know is that God is showing through you in every way possible. His grace, his peace, his love, his strength, his mercy and above all his precious love coming from you is going to reach the world. 💕💕💕 I’m speechless. I’ve been called to sing for his glory, I want to.. at least I think. I want to become a worshipper but the devil continuously is stripping me of the path God has planned for me. And at times, I know it’s him coming to steal, kill & destroy. But I also know the plan God has for me. CAN I MEET YOU?

    • @melodyjoywilliams

    What my parents have taught me is about the power that lies in a name. Names are so important. Your name reflects the gift that the lord has given you, Melody and that's so beautiful. You've inspired me with your testimony, and I can so relate to you. God bless you and may you continue.

    My brother passed away when I was 15, after he had finally found god and started spreading the word and living a life of Jesus. I am 21 now, and have been lost for a very very long time without a reason behind it. I used to love god and want to sing and worship like you are and just live my life through him, but I’ve been lost. Listening to your testimonial tonight had me in tears, and made me finally realize what I have been missing in my life. I watched your American idol video and I related so much to you saying you felt like an outsider, and how there were so many who just cursed up and down without a care. I live and work in a career field where that is completely normal. So normal that I have stared doing it myself in pretty much every single sentence I use. I lost god and I lost myself, so I thank you for sharing your testimonial and making me realize I need to find him again, because I miss him too.

    i literally went throught that exact same thing! My family and I left the church, read the scripture, followed God's law, Following the Sabbath. and what suprised me was that i also was IMMENSELY moved by Steffany singing King of My Heart! and i also want to become a worship pastor! wow..... thats awesome! Watching Steffany, i knew for sure that Worship was where im supposed to be

    Melody, I am 26 years old and you spoke words that really hit me hard. I have been in Baptist church my whole life and I completely understand what you mean by not having the confidence to worship. It was like you were speaking directly to me. I am by no means a musician, but I do sing special music every so often and I just know there is a disconnect there. Thank you for sharing your story, now I know that I need to work more towards letting everything go and not worrying about everyone else in the room with me.
    You are a blessing, and I will continue to keep up with what you do.

    You are a blessing to me, a 50 year old, part time worship leader (I play lead guitar and on rare occasions get the chance to sing). I think sometimes I get so caught up in and involved in doing things that I forget to take care of the best and most important part, to sit at the feet of Jesus and worship. Thank you for publishing your testimony!
    I’m going to share this with my 15 year old cousin who has been leading worship every chance she gets for about 3 years. She gets distracted by friends and the culture so much; I spend a lot of time praying (trying not to worry) for her; she is the most precious thing in the world to me and I know GOD has great plans for her.

    I have a very similar story of how I learned to worship and really have a relationship with Jesus. Like you, I grew up in church, and at first I didn’t go because my mom didn’t go, so it would just be my dad going alone. And now that I look back on that, it breaks my heart because my mom always said she didn’t have enough time to get ready, but it was just an excuse. Being so little, I don’t beat myself up about not going, because I was only like 5 or 6. Then, my dad really started making me go to church because he couldn’t stand the fact that we weren’t going. Of course, being just a child I didn’t want to, but my parents have always disciplined me correctly so I basically had to. After I started going, I was in church for 7 years before I realized I was just going through the motions. Even after I was a little bit older and understood why we went to church, I didn’t want to go. I would make excuses like saying that I’m sick so that I wouldn’t have to go. I finally moved up to the youth group, and about a year before I moved up, the youth group had gotten a new pastor. I was so excited to move up. Only 3 or 4 months after I moved up, our main pastor announced to the entire congregation that our youth pastor would be leaving to become a senior pastor somewhere else. I remember crying in the car after that because he didn’t even tell us. So for the next couple of months our church was searching for a new youth pastor, and in that time, our main drummer was teaching us a little bit because we didn’t have anyone. And I have always had a friendship with him since I was a kid, and it’s almost like he was my uncle or something, we were just that close. So one day he was teaching us... and in our youth room we have tiles on the floor with writings of scripture, prayers, encouragement, etc, that previous teens had written on there, and at this point our church had gotten down to like 100 people with maybe 10 in the youth group, and a year before it was easily 40-50, and he was saying “where are all these people now?” and i remember just standing there crying because that’s when it hit me, that I had such a deep care for people, and it broke my heart that these people were now off doing things they shouldn’t be doing. So when we finally got new youth pastors, they poured into me SOOOO deeply and I realized I didn’t have a relationship with God like I should have. Yes I went to church, but I didn’t do anything outside of church. So after many months of them pouring into me, I finally started reading my bible and praying...and eventually worshipping. With this new change in youth pastors, we also changed the worship team, and they picked me to be on it, but I didn’t want to at first because I knew how important it was to be humble, and I didn’t want to use that position as a pride thing. I remember one night at church where we were all praying and my youth pastor laid his hands on me and declared over my life that I was called to be a worship leader, and it was very overwhelming, and he also said I was running from it, and at the time I didn’t know what he meant, and I also honestly didn’t believe that it was my calling. I just wasn’t sure. So after that I went to youth camp, and I had been going for a few years now, and it seemed like every year I would feel the holy spirit there, but I never took that back with me. I probably should’ve mentioned this before, but my church is Church Of God, so I knew the holy spirit was there in our church, but I was always too scared to lift my hands, and I would feel so guilty after. Anyways, at that time at youth camp, I remember a couple of girls who were in my cabin praying over me who were YOUNGER THAN I WAS!! I was so amazed by this, and people would always tell me when I was in the presence of God I would be so close to speaking in tongues (like I would be shaking and so did my jaw) which sounds really weird if you don’t know much about the presence of the holy spirit, but that’s what would happen to me. Anyways, those girls would pray for me and tell me just to let go, and I had no idea what they were talking about, I was like “what do you mean...there’s nothing to let go of.” I later found out that those words would have a HUGE impact on me, and still do. After all of that, I started listening to worship music, and came across Bethel and Steffany, who I love dearly. Just their worship videos impacted me so much, and I learned how to worship. I started lifting my hands at church, and I’m still learning to LET GO of myself at church, because although we are church of God, our church would NEVER worship the way Steffany and Bethel worships!! It’s really sad, but that’s a story for another day. Anyways that’s where I’m at so far in my journey with Christ, and I just thought I would share because it’s so similar to yours!

    Wow, a Sabbath keeper! When you stated that you kept the true biblical Sabbath I stopped what I was doing and slowly raised a hand to my mouth, which was held open in surprise. You had my full attention at that point. I mean, I would have payed attention anyway, but that just grabbed me because Christian Sabbath keepers are comparatively rare. I've watched a lot of testimonies here on CZcams, but yours is the first I've known to make that statement.
    I feel very strongly about the Sabbath, because it's something that God finds to be important for our health and happiness, but people throw it out the window in favor of completely non biblical excuses. God doesn't change, what are you saying about his character when you claim that he changed the Sabbath? Its something that he took the time to lovingly craft into the very creation week for us.
    I almost burst into tears half way through your story because I really do envy your relationship with God. I've spent so many years hating him, and l've only maybe this year or so begun to genuinely love him, but it's not enough. I want more, but I'm so tied down by the world that it's hard to really surrender it all. One day I'll have complete trust and love for him and be able to really give him the worship he deserves, but it will take time. It's already so worth it, I've been much happier since I decided put my hatred aside.
    Thanks for sharing, I'm going to go listen to your music for the first time now.
    Happy Sabbath from a Seventh-day Adventist, thanks for the encouragement!

    Your story is so beautiful Melody. My daughter, Esther, is fourteen. I see her struggling trying to find her way. She, much like you, has a beautiful voice (from what I can hear, she won't sing in front of us either. :)) She plays the keyboard in her room. I want her to find someone she can relate to in music, and our faith. Today , on this Sabbath, as everyone is getting breakfast, I'm going to play this amazing video fro Esther to see. I know it will inspire her. Praying for you and your ministry. I can't thank you enough for sharing your heart. Many blessings to you and your family- Rebecca

    I was in the middle of watching this and was currently bawling my eyes out and my mom comes in my room and asks me if I’m ok or if someone has hurt me and say “no, everything thing is great. That’s why I’m crying.” She hugs me and I start crying harder. I was truly touched by your video and relate to a lot of things you have said. Before this video, I was becoming ‘numb’ as you put it. Your words hit me with realization and now I am closer to Christ now. Keep doing what you are doing; it’s working. ❤️❤️

    You've been on my mind
    for quite a long time
    In that I hope you'll notice me
    I'm here, waiting.
    Give me the time
    To wait on me,
    To sing to me,
    Give me the time I pray
    Give me the time to talk to you
    I hope you'll stay
    Won't you give me the time?
    This is a song that came on my mind after watching this. I guess this is something showing my that God wants me to take the time to pray. God bless you! Have good night!

    I have been in a deep, deep, dark place trying to find the father. Your story really touched me, and has really encouraged me to continue and not give up!!! I have felt the love of the father and I know in my heart I am his son and he LOVES me, but its tough when you cant feel his presence and tangible love. But I thank G-d for you because your story inspired me that hes not done with me yet, and he knows where I am and has not left me!!! I love that you spoke of the scripture though you slay me still I will trust you, because my wife and I said that will be our family verse, and right now we are both feeling as if he has slayed us BOTH lol. But the still I will trust you I am learning is a daily decision not a feeling!!! Thank you again!!! P.S. my name is Brandon to so just know you got a good one cuz Brandon's are pretty awesome!!!

    I just stumbled upon your How He Loves Us video. I was so blessed by that video I subbed and came looking for more . As I was scrolling down my thumb hit this video, not the one I was aiming for . When you started to speak I knew it was a God thing! Just what I needed to hear . I see parts of my own life in your testimony . You've given my hope, directing me to praise and worship our Father with all my heart and soul again. Thank you Melody !! God bless you!!

    I first came to your channel through your Reckless Love cover, sister what a wonderful testimony. Secondly, you so are brave! The internet is so hostile to people who are willing to share their love for God. Let me address something. People will be judgmental dude, but don't be frightened, He is sooooo good and sooo faithful.
    Brothers and sisters, we are all one in Christ regardless of the theology. Let our faith in Him and our worship be truthful and meaningful. His will be done, not ours!

    the “struggle” you mentioned feels like something I am going through right now... the whole not having a voice thing and not feeling God’s Presence (which means lacking direction... or at least that’s how it feels to me). But I have been encouraged and believe it’s just a season. The best is yet to come. Thanks for sharing
