‘Empowered By Where You Are’ is the newest 6 track EP from music ministry EmpoweredBy featuring vocals from The Voice UK 2018 semi-finalist, Jason Nicholson-Porter.
Written and produced by Warren King, the founder of EmpoweredBy music ministry, this EP is the ministry’s second project in 2018 and features original Rock & Soul songs of prayer and praise that take the listener on a journey to encountering God where He is. Songs such as ‘In Your Presence’, (Nicholson-Porter’s personal favourite) a ballad about the beauty of being in God’s presence – a presence we can choose to be in.
Speaking on the theme of the EP Warren said, “A lot of the time we call God down to be where we are and to help us in our situations, it’s a lot of focus on us. But something challenged me to step out from where I am and try to go to where He is. Try and see where He dwells! The Bible says that ‘Heaven is His throne and the Earth His footstool’. But no king lives on a throne. They sit on a throne and they rule from a throne, but they also go elsewhere. So, my challenge was to answer, ‘Where is the elsewhere for God? Where is it that He dwells? Where is He?’ And that’s what this project is all about, tapping into where He is.”
Prior to the EP’s release, tracks ’Strawberries’ and ‘I Need You’ were released as singles in June and July 2018. Received well by radio and other Gospel media platforms the accompanying video to ‘I Need You’ can be currently viewed on TV channels TBN and Trace Gospel.
‘Empowered By Where You Are’ is available for download now on iTunes, Amazon, and Google Play or can be streamed on Spotify.
