Kim, people want the benefits but they don’t want to be emptied and surrender all to the Lord !! We can do nothing without the Lord , take my life and do something with it !! Sharon
The “old” worship songs are the best, they are mostly Word-based. The Integrity Music “Hosanna Praise and Worship” series from the 80’s onwards are a wealth of songs that always lead me into the presence of the Lord.
I have listened to your music for many years and it helped me get closer to God. There is nothing and nobody greater than God. I have been abandoned by many family members, former friends and ridiculed for putting God first. Years ago, I went on a bus trip, after praying, to a place where the water fountain read "God's Free Gift", and still until this day, I remember how good that water tasted! Thank you Kim, for your music, ensuring that I am closer to God!!!
Tears streaming down my face. Beautiful reminder that I cannot expect this process to be easy. Yet I count the cost and find him WORTHY. He gives me so much more than I give him yet it is an exchange. Laying down all my fears for his peace ✌🏻 ❤
Wow! I have goose bumps! This song has been on my heart. I’ve been singing this in my heart and just getting ready for work. This is confirmation this is from the lord!
Learning to embrace the correction of the Lord as the scriptures advise us to, humbling and freeing. Your song 'Mercy Seat' has been a great aid for me in this season. Thank you for your heartfelt songs of worship, I hope you come and sing in England some day soon!
Kim, beautiful words, remember service to others, helping them find there path with Jesus, through your words 🙏 ❤️ and songs 🎵 how many people you may be inspiring 😀, you really never know how many people you are helping 😊, God bless you 🙏 for all you do for the body of Christ. ❤
Morning Kim I am so happy you are back it's not easy but God is always with us and help us. We use to high ways the narrow path not nice like you said this is the only way.
Another reason to look forward to Thursdays! I love what you said about emptying. I think it's easy to forget that we have to make room for what He has for us, so of course we have to let go of stuff. Two things can't occupy the same spot whether it's in space or in our hearts.
@KimWalkerSmithMusic thank you for being real and encouraging through a very relatable topic. Also, thank you for sharing your beautiful walk with Jesus. Blessings from a worshipper's heart to another.
Yes. We must die to ourselves daily so as not to sin against the one and only Creator of the Universe. This has been on my heart the last few days. Blessings, Kim. In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word Was God.....and the Word put on Flesh and dwelt amongst man.
Wow Kim so so true. It is really hard I get to one place then something else is revealed. I always pray search my heart oh God and He does. It seems never ending to dying to self that purifying . I don't want another way but it sure is hard. Thanks for the encouragement , bless your heart.❤
I feel this so deeply Kim, thank you for putting words to my own experience in a way I haven’t been able to. Last year after my world crumbled beneath me and I was so broken I finally surrendered to the Lord because I had exhausted every other option. I would lay on the ground in physical and emotional pain so deep I cannot describe and cry for hours while in prayer, saying “Jesus, I’m all yours, I don’t know why You would want me as I have nothing to offer, I’m just a broken pile of failure and pain, but I’m willing if You are, here I am. Do anything you want with me, I’ve got no fight left in me…” and this entire year has been a painful, emotional and exhausting process but absolutely necessary and exactly what I have always needed. Praise the Lord! Thank you Jesus!
Thanks Kim for sharing your personal experience as an encouragement! I've discovered there's always more that He wants to do in each of us to cleanse, sanctify and perfect us, making us more like Himself. The process certainly isn't easy at times but is the most important and rewarding as we look back and see how far we've come and look forward seeing His great love and faithfulness stepping us into our future! 🕊️💖
Dear sister, thank you for this word. A word residue cleared a lot of things in my mind and made me understand how refining proccess in my soul actually happening. God bless!
I want to thank you if you read this. I’ve been so numbed, for lack of a better word, from working in churched my whole life. I don’t really consider myself a praised and worship leader, I’ve never applied for a job but I’m always being asked to help in some capacity, whether it be leading worship, develop music departments of a start up church or whatever. I always end up getting let go or passed up after the church’s get some growth etc. Anyways, I’m very jaded from feeling used and watching the way may pastors and leader take advantage or people. I was recently asked multiple times this year by a new cowboy church to help. After about the fifth time I reluctantly agreed. I didn’t feel like I was fit to serve this time. I had a dream and in the dream you gave me a taking too, I must have recently heard a song by you or something. It brought me to your RUclips page as I haven’t paid attention to current praise and worship. I find you genuine and a true leader. I’m glad you are still doing what you were called to do. Thank you for being real.
Your testimony Brave is so amazing! Sad and happy at the same time. Great songs! On my side made me cry. Great song! God is so amazing. Stay on fire for Him. I try everyday 🙌 Fellowship throughout the day I found out works best. His joy and peace keeps me revived all the time
Dear Kim, I love your songs and you warm voice. The message is that you can send a lot of love through your messages, voice,songs to many of us out here. This is my message that I convey to you. Everything is love...
Wow!!! AMÉN and HALLELUJAH!!! 💯 % 🎯 !!! Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful and powerful and timely word from God!!! I pray that God will continue to Bless, Lead, and Prosper you in all that you do!!! 🙏🏽🙌🏽🤲🏽🔥❤️🫂
I like what John MacArthur says about that Kim. He says the closer we get to Him, (Jesus) the more we see how filthy we still are. It becomes more evident how much we are still unlike Him. I truly enjoy your talks about the faith!
Worship is more than a song and you have demonstrated although you have the voice of an angel you go deeper in the things that truly matter and continue to surrender your amazing gift so that you shine his Life for all to see worship is a relationship being worked out daily in common every day ways and walking down that narrow path with HIM it seems to have widened and we have more room to be like HIM He is changing our Hearts!
Much appreciated , where you go I go - when we walk in the spirit we aren’t walking in the flesh. Start the day with a Jesus t shirt and water n plant everywhere you
I mean wow that's so good to empty ones self to all agendas, surrender to lay down everything for Yahweh, Yeshua, Jesus that's a crazy God word. I love it Kim thank you for sharing 🙏🏽
Wow, Mrs. Kim, this spoke to my heart in a big way, and this is the exact Season of my life right now! True surrender is something talked about casually, but when put into practice; it is far more difficult to actualize and attain! Emptying ourselves of this residue you speak of is such a task to achieve; as years of conditioning and comfort of the familiar routines and methods appear to be grounding, when in reality, they are a hindrance to our relationship with the good LORD. God bless you and I always look forward to these Thursday Thoughts!🙏❤✝
Lol hi yeah ok I love your video thank you have fun this is your holloween chick from Indiana we good over here I'm alright at home I love you Kim be safe.😊💀❤️
Just try playing the song Dance by kim walker smith in your church. You will be attacked by the enemies of Jesus. Wear it as a badge of honor. Thank you Kim Jesus loves you, are the apple of His eye !
Hi Kim; my name is Christian..i just dont understand this world..its truly seems like no matter how hard i try..for the past 27 years i have been hated on a level that is so far from any good at all...if i use scriptures songs ehat ever..i get persacuted right away...i am very familiar with the MILITARYS use of frequncies..it truly seems like there is no one omin this world tbat is real...when i got baptized..right awqy rven the churchs said thats imposiable because we killed that spitit along time ago...53 years i have been being hated and i am to the point that does this life matter...i know this of what your taljing about because i live it every day and night
I looked up Romans 6:5 which came to mind to see what it said. [5 For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his.] I just trust God to work things out. I said a long time ago ''Whereever you lead me I follow whatever you want me to do I do'' its been an exciting 30 + years. You know what! His love is overwheming good when I reach out to the broken or downcast I know in my heart it's right and all it takes is a ''hello'' just stepping out in faith the Holy Spirit takes over placing in my mind rhema words and confidence. I used to think give me a easy one well the hard times bring the most growth I just keep seeking 100%. God is actually in everything anyhow, He holds the universe together. He just wants to see if you will HOLD ONTO HIM. I have this saying ''Be kind to God''.🙂
They have never fallen in love with the REAL JESUS....THE WORD OF GOD!!!! they are in love with themselves...and have a form of religion....they said a prayer....they think they all good....
It's God will that is a stumbling block to many even ''christians'' only the Holy Spirit brings new life .Esphesians 1, 2, Romans 8 and many more scriptures like Christ Jesus is the author and perfector of your faith and to take every thought captive and make them obedient to Jesus Christ, God has not given us a spirit of fear but of love of power and of self disciple/sound mind. The reality is God doesn't need our help to do His will He choses to be our life in this world if we let Him. That's why Paul said I am crucified with Christ ''I ''no longer live. That's total surrender submission as Jesus said I only do that which I see my father doing. How many ''christians'' churches [actually speak God's rhema words] serious they supposed to have His Spirit so it's not hard is it if the very creator of everything lives within. When we personally know Christ we can lead people to Christ. Many speak like Peter spoke from the world's view point/human understanding. Jesus said get behind me satan. Religion and doctrine worship music are what's seen but only those who worship in spirit and truth are those chosen many have been called.🤔Yes a simple life of obedience.
This is something that OSAS “Christian’s” do Not Understand about Repent & Believe in TLJC & Obeying the Gospel. “ THE ONLY AGREEMENT ONE CAN MAKE WITH JESUS IS THE AGREEMENT OF COMPLETE SUBMISSION” (William Barclay pg 218). And Pls Note: There is True Religion & False Religion. True Religion is the harder way & the narrow path that leads to life, & heaven & God, that few find. And false religion is the easier Broadway, that the vast majority choose to walk on that leads to ruin, to hell & the devil, to demonic torments & eventually the lake of fire. Therefore, “When a man is faced with Jesus Christ that is the Supreme crisis; his reaction is his judgment on himself, the supreme crisis. Therefore judgment is not delayed until eternity for we are judging ourselves in every action everyday. We are deciding whether we are the good who are gathered in or the bad who are cast away “ _- William Barclay; AND JESUS SAID ( book ); Commentary on the Parable in Matt 13:47,48; p51
So it’s not easy to get to Heaven? Sounds like works. Actually it’s so simple a child can understand it. Trust, faith, BELIEVE. Many don’t find it because we feel the need to add to the finished work of the cross. Salvation is free and easy because Jesus paid it all. Discipleship on the other hand IS costly.
Word says without holiness no one will see the Lord. Heb12.14 We are to be as He is, in this world. 1 jn2:6. Yes a higher calling. Obedience, purity, consecration is key, fully devoted and adoring.

People go to church, go to feel good concerts, never pick up their Bible and never get to know Holy Spirit, or Father or Jesus Either, whine about their lifes, complain against God, like the Israelites did in the wilderness. The only way to Know the Father, is the spend time with and Talk to Him, pouring out oneself and surrendering Everything, Everything, and give up our own desires for His, just knowing that won't do it, it takes work, EVERY DAY.
