The Spiritual Song - Exploring Prophetic Worship by Mike Herron

song… they seemingly had never rehearsed the song but were singing it spontaneously. It was an entire choir accompanied with an equal amount of harps. The Holy Spirit was orchestrating a symphony of new song.

THE VOICE OF THE LORD-

‘The L ORD your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will… rejoice over you with singing.’ 9 (Zeph 3:17) This scripture tells us that God himself sings his love song to his people. The prophetic song becomes the vehicle for his voice to be heard. The direction of this song is ‘from God to man.’ Jesus sings his praise song to the Father through the spirit of musical prophecy ; ‘ I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters. I will praise you among your assembled people.’ (Heb 2:12) Jesus first sings ‘to us’ when he proclaims the Lord’s name and then sings towards heaven in praise. This is a prophetic song in the public gathering of God’s people .

MY TONGUE IS HIS PEN-

‘Beautiful words stir my heart. I will recite a lovely poem about the king, for my tongue is like the pen of a skillful poet.’

9 NIV . 2011 (Zep 3:17). Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan.
