WATCH: Christian Musicians Boldly Declare Jesus At The White House

Worship leaders and Christian artists from around the USA gathered at the White House on November 14th 2018 to proclaim the name of Jesus Christ over the country! Then, following their “Faith Briefing” the musicians posted footage of their spontaneous praise and worship session.

In a clip posted by Christian artist, Tauren Wells on Twitter, the group can be seen singing the song, “What A Beautiful Name” by Hillsong Worship.

What a privilege to declare the name of Jesus in worship and in prayer today at the White House. I was challenged, informed, convicted, & inspired at the #faithbriefing w/ many peers in the CCM industry. The church has a great opportunity to rise with grace & truth in this hour. pic.twitter.com/xgZQiqh6XG

The lyrics of this song are powerful and how appropriate they should be sung in the corridors of power where history is made.

What a wonderful Name it is / Nothing compares to this / What a wonderful Name it is / The Name of Jesus / What a wonderful Name it is / The Name of Jesus.

Worship at the White House

Dominic Shabbon, Bethel Music’s Director of Events, expressed his joy at the occasion by posting his thoughts on Instagram. “Wow. What a day,” he wrote. “Had the honor to go the White House for a #FaithBriefing with key administration officials and faith leaders. Specifically, to hear about faith initiatives that are happening. Great things are taking place whether the media tells us or not! Let’s just say that I’m leaving Washington, DC stirred, hopeful, convicted and informed with TRUTH.”

What a special moment yesterday @whitehouse for a #FaithBriefing with some of the nations‘ top Christian Music Artists as we all broke out in song and prayer right there in the White House, just steps away from the #OvalOffice. We can’t let politics stop each of us from doing our biblical part inside of the government.

“God is surely moving in this nation and through His Church,” Dominic continued. “Let’s be a people that are not letting a day go by without praying for our President and this incredible administration. Thank you @paulamichellewhite for all you do and for helping to make this happen. It’s truly powerful to watch and I’m moved beyond words.”

Yesterday shook me.????I came into the meeting at the #WhiteHouse w/ no agenda but to love & pray. I was overcome to tears w/ deep conviction to pray more for, not only our president but also the men & women leading beside him. I could not have said it better @taurenwells… “What a privilege to declare the name of Jesus in worship and in prayer today at the White House. I was challenged, informed, convicted, and inspired at the #FaithBriefing with many peers in the CCM industry. The church has a great opportunity to rise with grace and truth and to serve with love and passion and be the city on a hill we’ve been called to be.”

Leaving an incredible evening with folks like these at the White House with a heart filled with Praise and a genuine sense of Hope for this nation. God is in control and has people at the very top level of Government who are working day in and day out to reach people with the love of Christ, to raise up the lowly, to take care of widows and orphans, to re energize communities and faith communities all across the USA. We need to pray for this Government and unite with them in the Work they are doing. #faithbriefing
