The purpose of this book is to expound the bridal as well as the prophetic implications of w
orship – the kind that enters past His gates into His courts… and helps the saints experience all that can be found there. Psalm 22:3 says God inhabits the praises of His people, and I find this very challenging because I’ve been in far too many congregations where the worship was conducted without the slightest indication that God Himself was supposed to be involved.
From scripture and from our daily walk with the Lord, we must find worship to be a journey into the prophetic realm that entrenches us firmly in His present truth purposes. Our praise and worship flow from our growing relationship with Him. As we speak and sing from sanctified adoring hearts, He in turn, quickens and stirs our hearts with the glory and authority of heaven, to the degree that we start to prophesy His very mind and will. He becomes at once the melody and the harmony, the lyrics and the life. This is the place where every contrary rule and spirit is overthrown and the authority of Christ enthroned. We have been called to sing the song of the Lord with a passion, beauty and power that is all heavenly. Healing and deliverance come as we surrender to the wonder of His splendor revealed in our hearts. The Church must come away from dead rites and seek to move in the fresh ways of the Lord, for He yet proclaims through the prophet Isaiah:
Behold, the former things have come to pass, And new things I declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them. Sing unto the Lord a new song, And His pr
aise from the ends of the earth… (Isaiah 42:9-10)
A new song is a song emerging out of our current spiritual position in God, and captures any number of spiritual postures or conditions representing that which God is doing in the now. It is this prophetic dynamic that we must seek to emphasize in our worship. Music has always been a spiritual language that easily transcends the mind gate to reach hearts and spirits. It is a veritable tool in God’s hands (and Satan’s as well), and we in the church must strive to keep it anointed, just the way God planned it. Anointed psalmists and minstrels, now more than ever, have got to take their place out ahead of God’s army. As in King Jehoshaphat’s day, they lead the church in stirring up divine presence and power in our worship and praise. In this hour of restoration, we cannot afford to compromise the awesome opportunity to partake in all that God is willing to share with us. We must sincerely seek Him in places of true praise and worship. This is the prime aspect of the prophetic mandate upon us, the church, the bride of Christ, God’s priests and kings in the earth.
This book explores how we can best utilize the realms of glory that God ushers us into, when we sincerely worship Him, as is our call. It is my hope that reading this book will help you enter the holiest courts of the Lord to receive all that’s in His heart for you.
