there are things that
God wants to communicate in the earth that will never come to fullness without
the yielding of creative people - artists who know they are prophetic and
desire to release that through the arts
Growing up as an evangelical Christian, there are some words I just never
used... prophetic was one of them.
Seemed kinda spooky, out there and
unattainable. Over the last few years in the Body of Christ, especially as one
who falls on the charismatic side of the theological fence, I've seen a lot of
things people called "prophetic".
Getting a Healthy Understanding
Through some searching and hopefully some
discernment, I think I have a healthy understanding of what being prophetic
really means - especially as it relates to creative expression: to hear the
voice of God and translate it into an understandable medium - sometimes a 'word
in season' - sometimes a 'thus saith the Lord' - but for the artist, it's
hearing the voice of God, sensing His Spirit and yielding to His moving through
your unique creative expression.
I believe there are things that God wants to
communicate in the earth that will never come to fullness without the yielding
of creative people - artists who know they are prophetic and desire to release
that through the arts.
The Definition of Prophetic Worship
I saw this article online at
http://www.theworshiparts.com/worshipartsblog/
and thought I would share here... how simple!
:)
"In its basic
definition, prophetic worship is speaking, singing or acting under the
inspiration of the Spirit of the Lord which, in turn, shows our complete
surrender in worship to Him (God).
Prophetic worship is meant to allow God’s
reflection to be seen in us so that others may respond and come to know him.
To prophesy [or be prophetic] simply means to
speak, sing, write or act under divine inspiration… nabiy’ (1 of
four Hebrew Old Testament words) & prophēteuō (Greek) are
common original language words found in scripture.
To worship means to bow low, express respect,
or lean forward [as to kiss the hand]… shachah (1 of three Hebrew
Old Testament words) & proskyneō (1 of eight New Testament
Greek words) are common original language words found in scripture.
A further biblical study of the Old and New
Testament prophets, as well as those who operate in prophetic giftings, would
reveal the controversial nature of the prophetic… although this is not always
so, prophetic people often cause disturbances… Jesus certainly did!
A Way of Life
Prophetic worship is a way to live life so
that God’s heart, words and voice are made obvious to those around us."
My heart for The Worship Studio is that we
would raise up a generation of artists who, under the influence of the Holy
Spirit and able to hear His voice, will respond to Him through their own unique
creative expression.
Let's not let words scare us or push us
apart.
A divine, prophetic connection to the
creative heart of God is available now for all of us who seek after Him through
worship and creative expression!
