st week, my entire squad was on a rooftop in Ghana, Africa. We tapped into what we have called prophetic worship. There were three of us playing djembes (drum), and two people on guitar. We were not playing any songs that were written by other people, instead we were playing from the heart. Everyone was invited to sing their own song to the Lord. All of a sudden, there was a span of time when all the instruments stopped, and forty-two people sung forty-three different songs to the Lord. It was LOUD. No one was holding back. No one had a “fear of man” (what their neighbor thought). Every single person was worshipping in THEIR VOICE from THEIR HEART. It was one of the most INCREDIBLE experiences I have been a part of, and the beginning to much, much MORE!
Finally, today Sage was burdened to play her own music to a song David wrote long ago. She wanted to sing Psalm 81 to the Lord, in a different way that David did hundreds of years ago. When I came in the room she was in, I felt the presence of God moving as she played the several chords she knew. She was making music to our King, in such a way, that I was moved. I picked up the other guitar, and began to pick the strings, in a way, that I never have before. I was worshipping God at an even deeper level of freedom, than I had hours earlier at the beach. Whether Sage could even hear me, I could tell and feel our sounds meshing, in such a way, that the Kingdom of Heaven probably met earth in room number 5 tonight. I can’t explain what is happening within me or within my squad in the way that I would like to, BUT what I do know is that before a week ago I didn’t know PROPHETIC WORSHIP existed, I didn’t know such a deep level of worship through song existed, I didn’t know that this “tapping into” would only be the beginning to so much more unfathomable depths in freedom and worship, and I CAN’T imagine what is next for myself and for my squad!!
