"Praise and worship have been my themes for nearly thirty years. I have written five books on the subject and many other books that relate to it. There is nothing in life more important to me than worshipping our precious Lord and Saviour. Whenever I hear that another has written on the subject, I am anxious to read it to see what insights the Holy Spirit may have shared with them that I have not yet seen. By now, I have a good library of books on the subject.
When Leon Clift contacted me to see if I would be willing to review his manuscript with the possibility of writing a forward to it, I quickly agreed. How thankful I am that I did, for this book is an extremely practical book for those in worship leadership and for those who aspire to such leadership. He not only reviews the doctrinal premise for praise and worship, he gives extended practical application for each of us. I am confident that this book will be used of the Holy Spirit to enrich, enlarge, and energize the praise and worship ministries of thousands of hungry Levites across America."

"The “Priests of Praise” series is such a blessing & anointed word! One day while searching podcasts on my iPhone, I just happened to come across this series. I downloaded it & began listening immediately. What a divine appointment & word in season! I praise God for Pastor Clift’s obedience in delivering this powerful message to The Body of Christ. As a result of meditating on this series & digging deeper into the word concerning “praise,” I now have a new boldness & supernatural confidence that I am called to be a “Priestess of Praise” for Almighty God! Thank you Pastor Clift & may God continue to RICHLY bless you, your family & your ministry as you allow Him to use you for His glory."

"Leon Clift is a man mightily anointed by God to lead churches to new dimensions in praise and worship. Leon has worked as a part of my team since 1986, and I have found him to be a man who knows how to flow with the Holy Spirit. It is a joy working with him, and I highly recommend his ministry. "

"Leon is a man of integrity, devotion to our Lord, and one of God's choice servants for moving his people into the presence of God. He will honor our Lord, and bless your people."
- Pastor Jon Ogle, Gateway Church, Roswell New Mexico
" Our praisers and musicians have already asked when Pastor Leon was returning. They learned a lot, and thoroughly enjoyed him working with them. I highly recommend this brother and his family to anyone desiring to learn how to bring people into God's presence in praise and worship."
- Pastor Donald C. Palmer, Life Unlimited Christian Church, Odessa Tx.
" I take this means to introduce and recommend to you my fellow laborer in the ministry of prayer, Pastor Leon Clift. I believe the best way I can describe the ministry of this man is: "God's secret weapon!" Leon is not a "flash in the pan," but a deeply spiritual man of faith who has a tremendous ability to lead others to worship Jesus. I whole-heartedly recommend him and his ministry to you and your church."
- Pastor B.J. Willhite, Capstone Church, Ft. Worth Tx.
" Leon's enthusiastic praise and deep, sincere worship served as a compelling example to our congregation who willingly followed him into some of the best experience of worship in the history of our church. I was particularly amazed at Leon's ability to read the heart of a pastor and of the church, and to fall into perfect step with its vision and it's normal flow with very little communication or instructions."
- Pastor Larry LeFleur, Victory Worship Center, Sulphur Louisiana
"Leon Clift is a true servant of the Lord and His Church. He is gifted with prophetic insight, godly compassion, anointing as a musician and composer with a real calling to encourage pastors. God is using Leon Clift in churches across America to mobilize intercession teams in behalf of pastors and church leaders."
- Dr. David Shibley, President Global Advance, Dallas Tx.
I have known Leon for over nineteen years. He has contributed to the spiritual growth of our church in many ways. Quite possibly the greatest contribution has been the establishing of Operation Prayer Shield. His words of prophecy, as directed by the Holy Spirit have literally changed lives."
- Rev. Bruce O. Klepp, Senior Pastor Upper Room Assembly of God, Miami Fl.
"This Vision has released spiritual anointing, gifts, and great power not only in our church, but also in the community. This vision must be shown to the churches, if they are to realize the spiritual success our Lord intended them to be."
- Pastor Al Bechman, First Assembly of God, Alvin Tx.
"God has used Leon's ministry gifts of leading people into dynamic praise and worship, mightily in the prophetic realm, and now, in raising up committed intercessors to undergird me as Senior Pastor. Our church has grown in this time period from a membership of 90 to an active membership of over 2000."
- Pastor Chuck Warnock, New Covenant Church, Longview Tx.
