The Spiritual Song - Exploring Prophetic Worship by Mike Herron

 The Lord inhabits the praises of His people  The Spiritual Song is expressed through our normal, human nature, we are not in an ‘ecstatic state’ beyond ourselves  The ‘chant of the Lord’ is praising with one chord without rhythm and melody  The ‘Song of the Lord’ is spontaneous praise with melody, harmony and rhythm  The ‘Symphony of the Lord’ is when multiple instruments and/or voices join in to the prophetic song  The Spiritual Song can be practiced  The instruments and worship team is to support, not overwhelm or be a substitute for the people’s voices in worship  While preparation is important, we must learn to follow the Spirit I have learned over the course of my life to recognize the ‘prophetic wells’ of song that God establishes around the world. These ‘wells’ spring up because a church or group of churches pursues the Lord and allows the Holy Spirit to have freedom in their worship. Wherever the Holy Spirit is moving in a sovereign way, there will be fresh songs of praise for the rest of the church to sing. You can always tell where the Holy Spirit is moving, you will hear Him singing in His church! Current Events in Prophetic Song-
