I respect Chuck Pierce for his passion to be on the cutting edge of what God is revealing to His Church. In The Worship Warrior, Chuck gives us a blueprint for worship that will cast the net for the harvest of the nations.

Im convinced the message of The Worship Warrior is the number one message God wants the Church to hear in this age of both extraordinary challenge and incredible opportunity. Historys greatest harvest is soon to happen, and worship will be at the heart of it.
Dr. Dick Eastman
International President of Every Home for Christ

The church struggles today to understand the vital link between worship and spiritual warfare. Some Christians want to focus all their attention on fighting demons, while others actually propose that we totally ignore our spiritual enemies and worship all the time to see victory. A balance is needed, and I believe Chuck Pierce and John Dickson have tapped into the heart of God on this strategic issue.

The life of King David has always impressed me. He was Israels most loved king and greatest warrior. However, what is most remembered is that David had a heart after Gods own heart. In other words, David was a worshiper. In The Worship Warrior, Chuck Pierce and John Dickson give us fresh insight into this marvelous relationship of worship and warfare. For the days ahead, we must learn how to ascend first in worship, receiving strength, wisdom and courage, and then descend into the battle to push back the gates of hell and establish His Kingdom.

Theres nothing more dangerous, when facing a frontal assault, than to be found living a civilian lifestyle. The spiritual alertness and focus to which this book calls us is absolutely critical in this hour. The Worship Warrior will help establish you before the throne, from which vantage you will watch God avenge you of your enemies.
Bob Sorge
Author of Secrets of the Secret Place

In The Worship Warrior, the voice of King David is released to this generation through the clear prophetic teaching of Chuck Pierce and John Dickson. In this hour where spiritual battle is increasingly manifested in the natural realm, the people of God must be equipped to become steadfast, unmovable, persevering worshipers who know how to move into corporate prayer that prevails. May the Lord use this book to release Davids heart as a corporate David rises up in this chosen generation.
Robert Stearns

My friend Charles Doolittle and about 20 intercessors gathered not long ago in a Studio City, California, home. Let us enter the Throne Room and receive our marching orders, Charles prayed. Let us worship God and enter into the battle. Another member of the group added, There is a fresh sound of God. Let us hear that sound!

Worship and warfare? Enter the Throne Room? A sound of God? A casual observer might have thought Charles and his fellow intercessors had uttered malapropisms. But nothing could be further from the truth. Indeed, the members of this group of believers, who regularly intercede for the entertainment industry in Hollywood, are worship warriors.

I too have often experienced the reality of these power twins of the Spirit. In 2000, Will Ford, Lou Engle, myself and 30 or so other intercessors carried a 200-year-old, formerly slave-owned kettle across northeast America, using it as a catalyst for intercessory worship and warfare. To us it symbolized the prayer bowls in heaven (see Rev. 8:3-5), as we filled it with prayer and praise for revival in America.

I have stood with a U.S. senator in the rotunda of the U.S. Capitol, mixing prayer and praise in order to break the strongholds of darkness and release the government of God over America. The exalting of the Lord in worship, mixed with the overcoming force of intercession, was thrilling to experience.

What happened in that Studio City home, on the Kettle Tour and in the U.S. Capitol is beginning to occur across the nation and around the world as we enter a pivotal time of intense spiritual warfare. Yes, intercession thrives, but prayer warriors are beginning to understand the role of worship in their warfare.

Chuck Pierce and John Dickson have written this book to introduce you to this major shift in worship that is happening in the Body of Christ today. Some of the words and concepts may not be familiar, but stick with Pierce and Dickson. You will see that this call for us to become strategic worship warriors is biblical and imperative. We must integrate it into the fabric of the Church if we want to see Gods destiny fulfilled in our individual and corporate lives.
