 Okay, here we go. Also, you're happy that we are into the last second chapter of the book, and we're almost done. Yeah. She has? She has more. Okay. Yep. I don't. I don't. I think this is enough. Okay. Chapter nine. So we'll learn a little bit about moving prophetically in praise and worship. Okay. Moving prophetically in praise and worship. So this would be more in context with singing, music, and all of that. Okay. Prophetic worship. What do you understand by that prophetic worship? It seems to be like the buzzword in these days. Being led by the spirit. Okay. Chapter over. Let's go to chapter number 10. Okay. It's like the answer is right there. Sorry. It's okay. Share it. It means? I'm not able to follow. Oh, yeah. Okay. So what is it? You finished? Why is he so shy today? Okay. All right. Cool. Cool. Okay. Yeah. What else? What is your, what do you think, a prophetic worship? Yeah. Something that moves you. Okay. All right. There's a lot more follow up questions to that, but then we'll move on. Yeah. Okay. Something that got talks to us during worship. Okay. Being led by the spirit is one and it moves us. Okay. Sorry. Something about the future. Okay. That's being released. Like God's word is being released. Right. It reveals something. Okay. Anything? Sorry. Edifying and building. Okay. So prophetic worship edifies, builds us. Okay. Yeah. Sorry, Nikhil. Scriptures. What about it? So you get these scriptures. Like it. Okay. A scripture. Okay. Yeah. God release. Yeah. Sorry. One second. Yeah. So what is the difference? There's a question. So what is the difference between prophetic worship and then worship that what we do? Right. Normally. So, okay. So the difference between like what you asked, just the regular worship, the regular worship worship that we do, and then this prophetic worship. And there's an other word called spontaneous worship. Right. So there's worship is prophetic worship is spontaneous worship. Right. So spontaneous is what's on the spot. That's what spontaneous worship is. Right. Now, spontaneous worship can be prophetic worship. Okay. It can be prophetic worship, but not all spontaneous worship is prophetic. I'll say that again. Right. So spontaneous worship, it can be prophetic worship, but not all spontaneous worships are prophetic. What do I mean by that? I just said spontaneous means you've been put on the spot. Isn't it? So it's like saying, right, Sean, why don't you just leaders and worship right now? What am I doing? I'm putting you on the spot. Right. And so, okay, I'll take the guitar and I start leading. Here I am to worship. Here I am to bow down. Right. So you're leading worship on the spot. Spontaneously, I asked you and you're doing it. So, but here I am to worship is a well-known song. That's not spontaneous. Prophetic worship and nothing wrong with that, by the way. Right. Everything what we're doing prophetic worship is that like what we just shared, right. You're leaning on the Holy Spirit's leading. Maybe you're listening, you know, saying, okay, he wants to release a particular word or a phrase or a melody. Right. And so you hear that and you sing it out. That is being, that's being prophetic. Right. If you take off the worship word part from prophetic, right. It just be prophetic, isn't it? Like I'm not sure if you're doing a course on prophetic, but anyways. So, and I'm, we're all praying supernatural hour. What happens is that, okay, so there's a word of knowledge or a prophetic word that's being released. Right. And so we sometimes we just say it saying, okay, I see this. I'm seeing this image. Right. You're seeing a prophetic word. You're getting a prophetic word or a prophetic image. But sometimes it can be a melody that you're here and say, you're leading worship and it could be a melody, it could be an image. And then you take those words and then you put a melody into it and then you worship with it. So that's what prophetic worship is all about is we've kind of complicated it over the years, but it simply is listening to God's heart and releasing it. And you're just being the vessel. Right. It's what he's saying in the here and the now. Because God is speaking. I mean, you never know that, you know, there's something that he wants. When God calls Abraham, he says, Abraham, go to this that I will show you. So in the beginning, God didn't tell Abraham everything. Abraham didn't get the big picture. So when Abraham obeyed, when he came to the particular point, God was like, we'll show you where you have to go. It's like that, you know, just leaning on what God has to say that basically is what prophetic worship is. And we've kind of summed up the whole chapter basically, but it's powerful. Okay, we'll look at it a little bit more. And the importance of it is the first time we got was following the leading of the Holy Spirit. Right. That's one of the aspects of prophetic worship is following the leading of the Holy Spirit. Right. He is Emmanuel. He is with us. He is God who is with us. Isn't it? Holy Spirit. He leads us. He guides us. Isn't it? Yes. The Bible says, when Jesus was baptized, the Holy Spirit came in the form of a dove and it rested on him. Are you with me? It came and it rested on him in the form of a dove. Now imagine you, we have, say, I have a dove on my shoulders. Yeah. Now the birds are very sensitive animals, isn't it? Like dove naturally are very sensitive. And so I have a dove on my shoulders and I don't want it to fly away. Yeah. I'm not going to jump and, you know, I mean, if I do anything like that, the bird's going to fly away, isn't it? But every move I make, right, every word that I say, my volume, the intensity of how, what I do will be keeping this bird in mind because I want it to stay. Are you with me? And that's what prophetic worship is all about. Living life prophetically is you being sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit. You don't want him to go away. You don't want to say something that will make him fly away. You don't want to do something that will make him fly away. I'm speaking figuratively, right? And so that's just being led by the Holy Spirit is as simple as that. Okay. So moving prophetically, that's why the chap is called moving prophetically is how you want to move, how you want to progress, how you want to go forward is hitting the nail right on the head saying being sensitive to the Holy Spirit. When we are sensitive to him, everything is sorted. Okay. So let's take a look at a few things here. We look at the music aspect in worship. Why is that important? And how music and worship is connected to the prophetic. Are you with me? Music, worship and the prophetic. Let's say this together, music, worship and the prophetic. So Hebrew word, one of the Hebrew words for praise is zamar. What does it mean? It means to simply pluck the strings and to play an instrument. So that's a Hebrew word and that's a praise. That's one of the Hebrew words, of the seven Hebrew words. It's to play an instrument. It's to strum a guitar or a harp or whatnot. So Psalm 149 verse 3, I love it. It says, let them praise his name with dance. Isn't that cool that you can praise his name with a dance? Yes or no? Oh, is it just me who's thinking it's amazing, right? Let them praise his name with a dance. Let them sing praises to him with a timbrel and harp or tambourine and harp. One day it could be guitar, keyboard, cajon, whatever. Praise him. I've been in worship ministry for almost 18, 20 years and just worshiping him, praising him corporately, it still excites me. It excites me so much. Just reading this verse again, I've read this verse every semester. I've read this verse every year when we go through this course. It just excites me. And it should do the same for us, each and every one of us. When someone says, come, let's praise him, let's worship him. It's like, yes, let's do this kind of a thing. It should excite you. That song is bubbling. It's bubbling. You know that song? It's bubbling in my soul. I'm singing. I'm dancing. Jesus made me whole. Nobody knows the song? Okay. Then the languages also, no? I think it's one Pentecostal song. It's like full sending it only. I forgot. Yeah. Okay. So yeah, let's praise his name. Actually, let's read that Psalm 149 verse three together loudly. Okay. We just read about corporate worship. Let's all read Psalm 149 verse three. It's in your note. Join us guys. Okay. Online. Ready? Ready? Let's go. Let them praise his name with the dance. Let them sing praises to him with the timbrel and harp. Okay. Psalm 150 verse three to five. Let's read together. Ready? Go. Praise him with the sound of the trumpet. Praise him with loot and harp. Praise him with the timbrel and dance. Praise him with stringed instrument and flutes. Praise him with loud cymbals. Praise him with clashing cymbals. Heaven is going to be loud. Right. So there's a huge connection with music and worship. When we use our instruments to worship him, praise him, our voice. Your voice also is an instrument. If you want to join a music college in the application form, there will be, okay, which instrument do you want to join for? You can choose guitar. You will also find voice. So voice is also an instrument. There's a box inside. Okay. And guys, we are a walking instrument. We have this melodic instrument, and we have another rhythmic instrument here that's going... Right? It's awesome. So we understand the importance of music in the context of this worship. So let's look at the notes. It says, so music is integral to praise and worship, but we should not be overly dependent on it, nor let music become a distraction from our focus on the Lord. Okay. So it should not become a distraction from our focus on the Lord. Sometimes last week someone asked me during worship, how do I... I keep getting negative thoughts. How do I tackle that? How do I overcome negative thoughts during worship? Does anybody get... No, not just negative thoughts. Yes? No thoughts and nothing is coming, sir. Nothing. Okay. So it says, let music be a distraction. And again, as a musician, it's a huge challenge for me. Okay. So as a musician, you know the chords and how it should work and how the chord progression should happen and whatnot. And when you're in the conversation down and when someone else is leading worship and the band is playing and if someone gives a wrong... Thank you, Lord. It's like... Oh, look at my friend's smile. It's like, God is good. Right? So you immediately have to check your heart. It's like that line that says, check yourself before you wreck your self-tapes. You check your heart and say, okay, immediately recalibrate. Okay, who is this all about? You ask that question. It's normal to have those thoughts. It's normal to be... That's who we are. We are wired like that. We have developed this culture or this habit of finding faults. We are quick to finding faults. Because it's easy. It's like dirt. You go outside, you'll find dirt everywhere. Yes or no? But you have to dig deep to find gold. And that's what... This is as much as whatever you're good at or whatever it is. When we come into this worship setting, what are the challenges? You don't let music become a distraction, especially musicians. They say, okay, I know he's going off-time, but it's about you. I'm going to focus on you. You guys with me? Yeah? Okay. Cool, so music and the prophetic now. So we studied about music and worship from the Psalms. And we look at music and the prophetic. So 1 Samuel, chapter 10, verse 5. 1 Samuel, chapter 10, verse 5. This is the context for this text is prophet Samuel. After he has anointed Saul as king for the first time, he's saying it's in the North's case. After that, you shall come to the hill of God, where the Philistine garrison is. And it will happen when you have come there to the city that you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place with a stringed instrument, a tambourine, a flute and a harp before them. And they will be prophesying. Okay, this is a perfect text for us to understand the prophetic and how music is connected to the prophetic. Okay, so who's saying this? Who's saying this? You know, school quiz, no, who said to whom? You remember that? School quiz, who said to whom? So the quiz, who's saying to whom? 1 Samuel, chapter 10, verse 5. Bolo. Prophet Samuel is telling to Saul when he's just been anointed. That's what's happening, right? But just think about the prophetic on Samuel. He's giving the details. That's just prophetic. Okay, it's not connected to music. Samuel is saying Saul, he's prophesying by the way, saying when you come to this place, you will be meeting so and so people. Who will be playing so and so instruments and who will be prophesying? So Samuel itself is prophesying. And he's prophesying about the people who will be prophesying. With instruments. Isn't that amazing? I was like, wow. So that's just a side note. So that's one verse. And the other verse there is 2 Kings chapter 3 was 14 and 16. 2 Kings chapter 3 was 14 and 16. Can someone read it from your notes, please? Yeah, cool. Thank you. So Elisha is again, the context here is Elisha is asking, bring me a musician and it happened when the musician played. Okay, everybody say it together. When the musician played, say it again. When the musician played, the hand of the Lord came upon him and he said, thus is the Lord, right? Yeah, thanks guys. Okay, now again, just to reiterate, Elisha is asking for a musician to come and to play an instrument. And when he did that, the hand of the Lord came upon Elisha and he releases a prophetic word. Yeah, so it is possible that when we play, prophetic is released. Having said that, prophetic is not released only when we play an instrument. Are you with me? This is not to say you take the prophetic and put it inside this box and say, okay, this is the prophetic. Okay, only when you play an instrument, prophetic will be open. We're not putting it in a box, right? But God moves like that as well. Okay, so when you play an instrument, it's really judicial plow. Remember that? Yeah, okay. So we just looked at music and worship. We looked at music and the prophetic. Right, are you with me? Now there's one place where all these three came together. One place where all of these three came together. Music, worship and the prophetic. Where? Where it came? We'll turn the page and we'll see. Okay. So all these three elements, music, the prophetic and worship coming together in the tabernacle of David, which David built and the worship that he established to be offered to the Lord. Okay. No, before we go into detail about understanding the tabernacle of David, background, background is important context. Okay, so what happened in 1 Samuel chapter four? You can go to 1 Samuel chapter four. If you want to just, are you guys online? Are you doing okay? Nina, Krisha, Shiv Kumar, all okay. Give me a thumbs up. Awesome. Thank you. Okay. So quick background to the build up towards David's tabernacle. So 1 Samuel chapter four. Now you can read that whole chapter. I'm not going to do that. So the setting is there was a high priest called Eli. Eli. He had two sons who were bad boys, basically. They were doing things in the temple of God, they're not supposed to do. They were sleeping with women and all of that, all immorality things. So there was no intimate or relationship with God, right? They were doing everything evil, bad boys. And so what happens? Philistines attack Israel. Enemy is attacking Israel. And everybody is scared. They don't know what to do. And somewhere in the history lesson, they've learned that, okay, in the past, people took the Ark of the Covenant, went in the front and they won the battle. Yes. And so the same thing what these guys are saying is, okay, you know what? Let's bring the Ark of the Covenant back. Ark of the Covenant represented the presence of God. It's the throne of God here on earth, isn't it? And when they bought the Ark of the Covenant here, everybody was happy and whatnot. The enemy thinking, what is this shouts of joy? Enemy was scared. But they go into the battle. They lose big time. Are you with me? They thought that they can go into battle without any relationship with God by just doing what God did in the past. If we do this, God will do that. They thought it was a formula, without personal relationship. They lost hope. If you read the chapter, it says 30,000 men died. It's there guys in chapter 4, okay. 30,000 Israelites died. And as if that was not enough, Ark of the Covenant was captured by the Philistines. And as if that was not enough, when Eli heard the news that the Ark of the Covenant was captured by the end of chapter 4, the word used there is ekabod. Means the glory has departed. The glory of God has gone, okay. And so when he hears the news, Eli falls down from the chair, he breaks his neck and he dies. Eli's daughter-in-law, she goes into labor. She gives birth to a child. She also dies and names the son ekabod. That means glory has departed. You see the tragedy of all of this, right. The Ark of the Covenant has been taken. It begins here guys. The story is very important. And then, you know, now let's go to second Samuel chapter 6. Okay. So again, we're not going to read it. I'll show you the turn there just for your reference. Now, between first Samuel chapter 4 and second Samuel chapter 6, the timeline of the gap is about 70 years. Okay. 70, yeah. Okay. So Saul has become king. Listen very carefully. Ark has been captured. A lot of things has happened. Samuel comes into the picture. He anoints Saul as king. Saul was a man of position. Okay. Listen to me very carefully. Saul was a man of position. That means when Saul disobeyed, right. Saul disobeyed God, right. That's why God was upset with him. Saul was like, Samuel, I know I did wrong in the sight of Lord. But you know, just walk with me and come out of the tent. So everybody else will look and see that God is still with me. What is he trying to do? He's trying to just show on the outside. Everything is okay. God is still there. Do we do that sometimes? To show like, okay, you know, God is with me. Nobody knows that I didn't read the Bible or I saw this last night. Are you guys with me? So Saul was a man of position. The Ark of the Covenant was not there during the time of Saul. Then David comes into the picture. But the first thing what he did, what he does is it tells us that David was a man of presence and not position. The first thing that he does is I'm going to bring the Ark of the Covenant back to where it belongs, right. But for so long, for so many years, they didn't feel the need to go after the presence of God. It took a man who is after God's own heart to bring the presence of God back to where it belongs. This is just a gist. We went through this. Okay, the timeline is 70 years. We went through 70 years worth of story in say five minutes. So this is the background of David's tabernacle, right. And Psalm 132, let's just quickly go to Psalm 132. I'm just reminded of that Psalm for now. Okay. Are you there? Psalm 132, Psalm 132, verse two onwards. It says, he swore an oath to the Lord that he is David and made a vow to the mighty one of Jacob. Verse three, I will not enter my house or go to my bed. I will not allow no sleep to my eyes. I will allow no sleep to my eyes, no slumber to my eyelids till I find a place for the Lord, a dwelling for the mighty one of Jacob. You can almost feel David's burning heart for God's presence when you read those words, isn't it? I will not allow myself any rest until I find a resting place for my God. That is the huge background for David's tabernacle. And I think you can read all about it in 1 Chronicles chapter 25. So if you go to the next page in your notes, it talks about 1 Chronicles chapter 25, verse one to eight. I'm not going to go through that now. But the summaries are the bottom of that. There were 288 prophetic singers. Okay, let's just read verse one for our benefit. 1 Chronicles chapter 25, verse one to eight. I'm more over David and the captains of the army separated for the service, some of the sons of Asaph, of He-Man and of Jerrithon. Who should prophesy with harps, stringed instruments and cymbals? And the number of the skilled men performing their service was two of the sons of Asaph. Okay, so you can just read the whole passage. It's brilliant. So they were set apart. Another translation says that they were set apart towards the ministry of prophesying. So the summary at the bottom says there were 288 prophetic singers, 4,000 musicians who ministered in the worship to God. It was big. It was extravagant. It's like a party, never-ending party, day and night. The singers and musicians took turns to minister to the Lord in continuous 24-7 non-stop day and night worship. There was a roster with lots being cast to decide the team and schedule. Amazing, isn't it? Like we have a roster here. Who's going to lead and super nice to deliver today, tomorrow? Today, Roshan is here, no problem. The musicians were skilled in their musical abilities. Right? They were skilled. That means they were really good at what they did. Okay, they were not amateurs. Okay, point four. There were leaders who were in charge of music and the songs that were to be sung. That means they were leaders in charge. It was prophetic in nature with prophecy integrated into their worship and music. There were prophetic worship leaders, Asaph, Heman and Jirthin. Okay, and finally the last point. There were prophetic songwriters or Psalmists, both David and Asaph were Psalmists. They would write songs and these would be incorporated in their worship and prayer. Okay, so all of this is what was happening in David's Tabernacle. All of these three elements that we discussed about music, worship and the prophetic. Are you with me? Right? And then it says in Amos chapter nine was 11 and 12. Amos chapter nine was 11 and 12. And then it's being recoded in Acts chapter 15 verse 13 and 18. James is saying, I will rebuild the Tabernacle of David. Right? I will rebuild the Tabernacle of David. It means not a physical building. It's called a movement, a spiritual movement where people will be hungry for my presence. There will be day and night worship moments. And that's happening all around the world today, this international house of prayer. I'm not sure if you've heard of it. I hope it has a 24 hours nonstop praise and worship thing. It started in 1999, September, and it's still going on today. They haven't stopped since September 1999. And so houses of prayers like that around the globe that's, you know, it's worshiping day and night, praying day and night. God is raising up a generation of David's who will go after his presence. Right, guys? Are you with me? Okay. Any questions so far? I don't know this. No, this is just a Tabernacle. So what Solomon builds is a temple. So Tabernacle is a tent of meeting. So a tent is temporary, isn't it? So a temple is permanent. So yeah. You guys with me? Yes. Too much content for one day? Be honest guys. Is this too much content for just one day? If it is too much, then we can pause and we can resume next week. Okay. We'll just do one last section and we'll pause. Okay. The prophetic word and its characteristics. Okay. The prophetic word and its characteristics. So just this is pause and just very quickly a glance through everything that we've covered at least in this chapter. Okay. We study about music and worship and the prophetic and where all these three elements come together. One place is the David's Tabernacle. Right. We went through the brief background history of David. What happened? You know, just for us to understand a little bit. So this is where we are. And at the point where we say God is rebuilding the Tabernacle of David in this generation, in this day and age. Right. Bible says, right, my house shall be called a house of prayer. Isn't it? And that's God's desires. And you'll learn more about it next year when you study about this chapter called a course on the local church. How God's heart is all for his church and it's his idea. And his church, his house will be called a house of prayer. And it's in that context we see the God rebuilding the Tabernacle of David. Okay. So that's where we are. And just to understand a little bit deeper about prophetic worship, the prophetic word and its characteristics. That's the section we look at. Right. Prophecy is simply God speaking to man through man. Most of the times. Sometimes donkey's answer. Okay. Prophecy is simply God speaking to man through man. The father desires to speak to us. Guys, I want you to underline that. I want you to underline that. Okay. It's you and I need to understand that you were designed. We were designed to hear from God. Okay. He wants to speak to you. That's his heart. Okay. It's sometimes, most of the times we live in this lie, lie saying, okay, I can't hear his voice. I do. I think God doesn't want to speak to me. I think he's upset or angry with me. Oh, you know, all of that. Let's get this solid into our hearts. Right. Let's drill it down and saying our God, our father, he desires to speak to you individually. He desires. He wants to speak to you. That is his heart for you because you and I, we were designed to hear from him. So don't say, oh, he can't move in the prophet. I don't know what it is. Don't stop confessing, saying that. That's a lie. You were designed to hear from him and release. He's upset with me. Yeah. Okay. So our father desires to speak to us in the now, in our daily circumstances and situations. Not daily circumstances. And sometimes we treat God like he's our college warden. Like who just gives, you know, food, room, water. That's all. He's not interested in anything else. He's our father who's interested in every area of your life. You with me. Right. And that's why he decides to speak. So we speak the heart and mind of God when we prophesy. You can underline that we speak the heart and mind of God when we prophesy. Okay. The whole spirit communicates the heart and mind of God to our spirit. The important thing there is our spirit. Okay. He's speaking to our inner man. Okay. Most of the time that's what happens. And when we try to hear from God, I think I've given this example before is, you know, when I can't hear someone saying from the back, I was like, so what now? Right. We lean in and sometime when I can't hear God during worship and I want to hear him. I'm like, what are you saying? I try to, you know, I try to listen to him in my physical year. But here it says the Holy Spirit speaks or he communicates to our spirit. Are you with me? And so, I mean, this is a different spirit. All together and how to build your spirit in terms of being sensitive to God. That's one semester or one day's topic. Okay. That's where fasting comes into the picture. When you're fast, you are killing your flesh. You're saying no to the flesh and your spirit man comes alive. Right. So that's what's happening there. Okay. So like I said, it's a topic for another day. So Holy Spirit communicates in many different ways. The first thing is an impression in our heart and in our witness. A flash of information in our spirit. A quickening of scriptures. Nichols said that, right? Scriptures. So prophetic is sometimes you might hear this scripture come into your heart. It's like, if you love. Hey, let's go to Hosea chapter two was 14. Right. So that's what's happening there. Okay. So like I said, it's a topic for another day. If you love someone who is 14, you feel that impression, right? Pictures. This happens most of the times at least pictures, a word, a sentence paragraph, a physical sensation. So, and I've seen sometimes when some of them move in the prophetic or in church, when we are ministering and healing and deliverance. And I've seen all of the associate pastors, they say, is anybody's left elbow painting, for example? Because their elbow will be painting. I'm feeling a pain, a sensation in my left elbow. Is there anyone here whose left elbow is hurting? That's a physical sensation. And there's so many examples like that. Pictures. I think last time there was a picture during Supernatural Hour, there was a picture of a sunrise. That has to be translated, right? A picture of sunrise. Again, when you see an image, God also gives a translation. A picture of a sunrise is like a new beginning, a new dawning. Right? Are you with me? So has any of these things happened to any of you? No. During Supernatural Hour, or anyone online, any of these has happened to you. You've moved, you've gotten a word or a sentence or a paragraph or a scripture. You guys know what I'm talking about? Okay. So these are some of the ways and how he communicates. And again, this is not to say it's just one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. The seven points are the only ways where he speak. So with that, we'll stop this session. We'll resume next week. Is that cool? Okay. So yeah, I feel like it's just too much content for day one. So we'll pause here today and we'll resume next week. All right. Thanks guys. Thanks everyone online for joining in. I'll see you all next week.
