  1. Prophetic WORSHIP !!! The Glory of God !! Prophetic Worship – the Basics Let’s Worship Practical Exercises Breakthrough Anointing

  2. Prophetic Worship !!! Joh 4:19 The woman said to him, "Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet. Joh 4:20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship." Joh 4:21 Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. Joh 4:22 You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. Joh 4:23 But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. Joh 4:24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth." Joh 4:25 The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ). When he comes, he will tell us all things." Joh 4:26 Jesus said to her, "I who speak to you am he."

  3. Prophetic Worship !!! • What does it mean to Praise & Worship God !!! • These 2 are very intertwined – and is hard to give a clear description of each • Praise God– is like Thanking Him for what He has DONE !!! • Like Giving a Testimony of His Goodness in your Life – in order to uplift others in their Faith in God • Worship God– Thanking & Admiring Him for Who He IS !!! • This is more talking to God Directly / Personally – through Prayer, Singing, Citations etc… • Recognizing His GLORY !!! • Hebrew & Greek Definitions of Praise & Worship: • PRAISE: HEBREW has 3 Meanings: • Halal - The root word from which the word HALLELUJAH is formed – Meaning all must praise YAH (short for Yahweh) – To BOAST About (the Virtues, Glories and Honor) of Someone or something with Words & Singing, Thanking, Rejoicing (1 Chron 23:30) • Tehillah - Celebration & Exaltation – like a Psalm or a song (Ps 100:4, Ps 145, Ps 150) • For interesting sake – the book Psalms – in Hebrew = Tehillim (plural of Tehilla) – Literally Meaning the Book of PRAISES !!! • It can be used for singing, meditation or recitation !! • Psalms provide the means for an eager heart to express praises to the Holy One • Shabach – 2-fold meaning: (Ps 63:3) • To Glory in, Praise, Adore • Bringing someone to be still and calm, Sooth (indication of Wisdom, Maturity, building Faith) (Ps 65:7, Ps 89:9, Prov 29:11) • Practical Example of Calming someone…: Ps 46:10

  4. Prophetic Worship !!! • What does it mean to Praise & Worship God !!! • Hebrew & Greek Definitions of Praise & Worship (continue..): • PRAISE : GREEK: • Epainos– Recognition of God’s Glory (iow: Recognizing of Who He IS and what He has done and can do etc…), commendation, praise (Eph 1:6, 12 & 14, Phil 1:11 & 4:8) • WORSHIP: HEBREW • Shachah – stoop as an act of submission , bow down before, reverence, to make yourself low (Ps 99:5) - in contrast with exaltation of oneself, you choose to Exalt God and lift Him up High – at the place of His Feet !!! • Ex: 1 Kings 8:22 – King Solomon’s prayer to Dedicate the Temple he built for God • See Joh 8:28 & 3:14, Luk 18:13, Heb 12:12-15 (through worship – you will become strong), Jam 4:10 • Lev 19:13 – Reverence His Sanctuary, Ps89:7, etc. • Isa 11:2-3 – Fear of the Lord, Job 28:28, Ps 19:9, Ps 34:11-16, Ps 111:10, Prov 1:7, Prov 2:1-7, Prov 8:13, Prov 9:10, Prov 15:16&33, etc…. • Hosanna – An exclamation of adoration & a Request for Salvation – Mat 21:9&15, Joh 12:13 • WORSHIP – GREEK • Proskuneo – Prostrate, bow down (Rev 4:10-11) – 2-fold word: • Pros – Toward • Kuneo – Kiss (another symbolism – like a dog licking his master’s hand) • Do obedience, show reverence, adore… • Like in the Times of the Kings, people would fall down before the King & Kiss His Ring… (eg 2 Sam 9:6, 1 Kings1:31, Est 3:2&5)

  5. Prophetic Worship !!! • Why and How do we Worship ?? • To Lift up And Appreciate the ONE we Worship !! • It’s all about Him, and Him alone…!!! • It must become a lifestyle, not just singing the 30 minutes odd in the beginning of a Church Service… • It isn’t just singing either…Singing is just a very small portion of Worship, as we can’t all talk together, but we can all sing together… • Worshipping God must be evident through our everyday conversations, telling people about God’s Greatness & Goodness etc. – without actually having to say God is Good or God is Great in every sentence, etc !! (‘cause saying it all the time will become religious eventually, and will loose all its power and effectiveness and rather push people away instead of uplifting them and drawing them closer to God etc..) • Through our daily conversations I mean, when I meet someone, I must show the LOVE of God to people, and that I truly care about them, have compassion for them, not being a two-face/hypocritical etc.. It must come from the inside – shining forth through our voices, and sincere smile… • A good example in the Bible is the Fruit of the Holy Sprit – mentioned in Gal 5:22-23 – must be evident in our lives. This is a good sign of a life of Worship !! • Meaning - The way we live: at work, in business, at home, our finances, the things we buy, eat everything we do and say must become worship unto God – because we adore Him & Respect Him, and choose His Love & His desires above our selfish desires… • To Worship God is to Truly LIVE !! • If you don’t know what to say, just say JESUS !!!

  6. Prophetic Worship !!! • What is Prophetic Worship ?? • As we’ve explained before – the Word Prophetic is to “Tell Forth” • Meaning – through our worshipping, we “TELL” or “SHOW” what we’re Saying, Seeing or Feeling through our singing and actions, etc… • Eg If we see a vision – then we want to act it out – by saying it, explaining it, or dancing it, etc… • THUS: A reason for lifting our hands while we’re singing – This act proclaims that we are saying in effect – Father God, Jesus, I lift up Your Name – I exalt you – I praise You, I worship You, I adore You, I surrender to You…etc…etc… • It is such a liberating gesture – by doing it – God sees your Heart, and reaches out to you as well… • It is like a child reaching up his arms to his parents saying “Pick me up”, and then Father comes running to you, and lifts you up, high upon His shoulders so you can see much further than what you were able to see before…!!! • Thus Prophetic Dances are so popular – as it “tells” a story of our faith, and our relationship with God, and our heart towards Him…etc…making use of colors, flags, and any other equipment necessary to tell the story !!! • Another gesture, is to go on your knees, or to bow down completely – like before a King…meaning you are making yourself low before God, admitting that He is King, and you are humble enough to admit it. • By standing firm, and refusing to bow, for example, because of feeling embarrassed, is showing to God, that you are more concerned about what other people are going to think or say, than what you truly care about God, and His heart and your respect and love for Him… • Meaning – our body language says of who and what we really think in our hearts about God.

  7. Prophetic Worship !!! • What is Prophetic Worship ?? (continued…) • Also – Music plays a huge role in Prophetic Worshipping… • It helps to set an atmosphere (to prepare the Spirit Realm) – which brings God’s Glory into a specific place, which makes it easier for people to Hear God and even see and experience God… • Eg: 2 Kings 3: Elisha wanting to Prophecy on Request of Jehoshaphat (King of Judah) – but seeing the King of Israel in the room as well, it disturbed him so – that he asked for a minstrel to come and play. (Minstrel meaning – someone who is heart and soul into playing for God on a stringed instrument.) • Another Example is 2 Chron 20 – where Jehoshaphat went into battle with the people going out singing and praising God believing that God would fight on their behalf – based on a prophetic Word they have received (verses 14-17) – And God smote the armies of the enemy before them – without Jehoshaphat having to lift a finger to fight in the battle !!! • 1 King 16:14-23 – King Saul, every time he got distressed, they called David to come and play for the King. This helped Saul to calm down again and become refreshed… • So let us take a bit of time now, and use music to Worship God, and use your body language to express what you see, feel, hear or intend to communicate with God… • AMEN !!!!
