*Intro: Ps 34: 8 *Oh, taste and see that the Lord /is/ good; Blessed /is/ the man /who/ trusts in Him!*(NKJV)*

*Testimonies of power of prophetic worship*

*House of God – Gateway to Heaven*
*Genesis 28:16-17*
Jacob exclaims, “Surely the Lord is in this place and I knew it not!”
*/God must be experienced.
In order to experience Him He must be present./*
What happened in these testimonies that I’ve shared with you? God was present and people knew it!
/“This is the GATEWAY to HEAVEN”/
Prophetic worshippers are *powershifters*!
They facilitate the shifting of God’s power through worship.
So that people can say “Surely the Lord is in this place and I KNOW IT! Amen!
*Gates*
Everything that moves from one place to another place has to have a GATE.
It has to have a gate, a doorway – a way of getting through from one dimension to another dimension.
*/Power resides always in its original state – in the invisible realm/*.
Faith is invisible, relationship is invisible – *until it has a gate*, until it has a connection.
*/Until it has the ability to move from the invisible into the tangible/*.
*God is a God of Power*.
He is not static but dynamic!
He is not a statue He is SPIRIT!
He is INVISIBLE and he also has a Kingdom which is INVISIBLE.
*/But to move His power from the invisible to the visible, from heaven to earth He needs a gate, an access point.
This is called the HOUSE OF GOD!/* The House of God is the gate by which the things which are invisible become visible.
*Holy Spirit inspired Music shapes the atmosphere*
Music has a rare ability to communicate in no other way like it.
When the Holy Spirit inspires a symphony of sound – musicians and singers under His leadership can witness a profound impact of God visiting people.
*What exactly is Prophetic Worship?*
*Joel 2:28-29 (NKJV) 28 *"And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions.
*29 *And also on /My/ menservants and on /My/ maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days.
The word ‘*prophesy’ *here means /‘to announce, to show, to deliver an oracle from God, to speak as God’s ambassador; to foretell future events’ /(Wilsons).
Frank Damazio – The word prophecy in the Hebrew is ‘*naba’* which means to ‘flow, boil up or over; bubble or pour forth words, to gush’.
· “It is sharing God’s heart, desires and intent” (Bill Hamon)
So we can say that Prophetic worship is the sharing of God’s heart, desires and intent through the medium of WORSHIP.
*Build Altars of Encounter*
Many times in Scripture God’s people encountered Him at the altar of worship and other times erected altars as a result of divine encounters.
\\ Law of 1st mention – *Noah* \\ *Ge 8:* *20 *Then Noah built an altar to the Lord, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
*21 *And the Lord smelled a soothing aroma.
Then the Lord said in His heart, “I will never again curse the ground for man’s sake, although the imagination of man’s heart /is/ evil from his youth; nor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done.*(NKJV)*
Noah offers a sacrifice to God – an act of worship of his own *free will*.
The Lord smelt his offering of worship and responds with an everlasting covenant promising to never flood the earth again.
WORSHIP is and has always designed to be a place of ENCOUNTER with God.
God visits true worshippers!
Prophetic worship then arises out of hearts that are CONNECTED in covenant relationship with the LORD GOD.
When people are in relationship with the LORD and offer an offering of worship that is pleasing to God, God then responds and wants us to experience His HEART, DESIRES and INTENT.
They become powershifters.
The role of the Prophetic worshipper is to offer up a sacrifice of praise, an offering of sweet worship to the KING of KINGs and then watch as God unleashes Himself upon His people.
FRESH ENCOUNTERS.
Worship in the NT church is not supposed to be just 3 fast songs and then 2 slow ones before we hand over to the preacher!
*Biblical Example:*
* *
*Dedication of Temple* - 2 Chron 5:12-14
§ Musicians and singers were *‘one’*
§ Produced *‘one sound’* - complete harmony
§ Praising and thanking God – He must always be *the object *of our worship!
§ The Glory cloud fell!
Role of musicians and singers was completed – *touching heaven, changing earth!*
§ Were unable to stand at the *manifest presence *of God.
*Spiritual Songs*
*Ephesians 5:18-20 *A spiritual song, is one given whilst in the spirit and aids the heart of God’s people to connect with Him through *another means *other than only the spoken prophetic word.
*Different Moods of Worship*
*High Praise* - Jubilant, triumphant procession of worship, at times loud and raucous
*Warfare* - intense wave of music that helps us to engage the devil in the spiritual realm
*Worship* - Simple adoration of God
*Sweet worship *- warm, inviting presence of God that says, ‘Come Closer’
*David *– the Sweet Psalmist of Israel (2 Sam.23:1)
§ Sweet = pleasant, delightful, sweet, lovely, agreeable, sweetly sounding – musical
*David’s Tabernacle* – God’s Model of Prophetic Worship for Today
*Acts 15:13-17 cf Amos 9:11,12*
What was this tabernacle:
§ *2 Chron 1.4* pitched a tent for the Ark of the Covenant
§ *2 Sam 6:17* set the ark in the midst of this tent.
§ Established as a 24 hr place of worship and singing.
§ Prophecy above declares it will be a place where the Gentiles will come and seek the Lord and call on his name.

*Prophetic Worship* *Team* - 1 Chron 25:1-8
§ Music was to help *inspire *David’s Army v1
§ Musicians were *set apart* in order to serve this ministry v1
§ Specific role was to ‘*prophesy’* on their instruments v1
§ Were *submitted* under their anointed Leader - David v2
§ Ministry included *praise and thanksgiving* unto the Lord v3
§ Were under supervision – *a submissive heart* is crucial to this powerful ministry v6
§ Were *instructed* in the songs of the Lord v7
§ 288 were involved.
Why *unity* was so important – too easy to get out of hand!
§ Students and Teachers worked *alongside each other* v8
§ Lots were cast for their turn – had to *be ready and prepared* at any time v8
*Tips for Prophetic Worship Ministry*
* *
*Question**: Does prophetic worship happen as a result of high skill levels as a musician & singer **or **your personal relationship with God?*
*BOTH – not either or BUT both.*
§ Desire the Prophetic anointing: \\ */1 Corinthians 14:1/*/ Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy.
*NIV* \\ \\ /To ‘*eagerly desire’* means to ‘*be zealous for, to covet, be jealous over’!
\\ * \\ We cannot be *passive* towards the gifts of the Holy Spirit and expect them to work through us.
We must give ourselves to the Holy Spirit and be strongly desirous for Him to work through gifts in our lives.
A casual or apathetic attitude towards the gifts of the Holy Spirit won’t ‘*cut it’* with God.
When we see the importance and relevance of the gifts, especially in Christian Ministry, then we must go after them, especially prophesy.
§ Learn to worship God at home on your own.
*Psalms 91:1 (NKJV) *He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
§ Make home an atmosphere of worship (Anointed music tapes, CDs).
Prov 23:7 As a man thinks in his heart so is he.
