Okay, I know I haven't written anything in a while. There wasn't tons to write since I was gone for the fourth in Oregon. Last Friday I only attended a main session before heading off. It was Ray Hughes talking about David. He is a man that has studied David and has some great revelation about David. He spoke to us about being a Davidic generation and then what that was going to mean for us. The largest part was we needed to seek the Lord for everything. How can we create the atmosphere that God can't stay away from? David didn't presume about how to do anything after the occasion of Uzza touching the arc and dying. The scriptures say he inquired of the Lord all the time. You cannot rest on what you did. New revelation for each situation is needed. This means that you don't have to strive for your future destiny. This way you are walking out your destiny. These are just ways of being a Davidic generation.
Here are some great and different points he talked about.
Surround yourself with Godly people and people who understand your heart.
Where there is no revelation my people cast off restraint. (scriptural)
Where there is no vision my people parish. (not scriptural)
We need to remember we are on a journey.
Unity for unity sake is unity.
True unity is corporate humility, we know why we are together and why He is here.
He then talked about about the sound of all the musicians as one unified sound. God won't inhabit a place unprepared for Him. We need to understand the seriousness of releasing our sound. We need corporate unity to prepare so the Lord can come.
Here are some general points to ponder. They may seem disjointed but you can listen to some of his teaching for free on ibethel.tv.
No matter what the old day looked like good or bad it is a new day, and that is what we need to focus on. New revelation everyday.
Don't spend time cursing the darkness. (like feeling 20 yrs behind the times in worship.)
Light up the darkness and don't worry. Stop being afraid of the rest and show them the Creator.
If we have a fresh revelation everyday we will be on the cutting edge of whatever we choose.
David grabbed the muddy, dirty, slimy people and places. This is who we need to go after. God will set us up for the dirty slimy places.
Responsibility = the ability to respond
Here is a word the Lord gave him to give to us. "You are highly skilled, you're greatly anointed, you're called to fight for others and you're equipped to win." This was an awesome word. I loved it.
Here is another side bit. Lily means trumpet. Look at the flower(shape of trumpet) God will release the sound. The trumpets sound and the king rides in. What a great name!
Yesterday we had a Q&A with the worship leaders of the church. It was fun. Nothing major revealed mostly questions about how to work through stuff.
In the afternoon I took prophetic song with Jenn. Now I bet you're thinking this was a class about how to make that happen or get better at it. Not really. So I will give you some points and some questions asked and answered.
Every person on the worship teams needs to tap into the prophetic.
Be uplifting, edifying and encouraging musically or vocally.
Team needs to flow or learn how to flow.
Risk going after Him no matter the sound. As you keep doing it and learning your craft you will sound better. Don't let the sound stop you from doing what the Lord said to do.
Tune into what sound you're hearing.
Create a relationship where we are watching each other often so we can follow and encourage each other.
Break off fear!!!!
Rise above the stuff in your life. You can either try and work through it or rise above it and take it higher to the Lord. He will show you the right perspective on your problems.
Never let the worship hat come off. We are worshippers no matter what else.
Do not bring others into your crap!
If you have sinned or have a problem make it right quickly. Take it to a leader or go to the person you have a problem with.
Each time we lead we need to come into it with clean hands and a pure heart. So do what you need to do, but remember God loves you. He does not punish you.
Ways to become more intentional in prophetic song. 1)Set up the team so we can practice. 2)It is ok to not be perfect. We need to obey not worry.
You cannot judge the response. We never know what people are thinking or how they are reacting whether they show it or not.
Don't 2nd guess the feeling you are getting based on response.
There is more but I will save it.
In the late afternoon I went to how to tap into the third heaven class. This was an easy class. Some awesome testimonies of autism healed, an allergic reaction to even touching dairy healed. Just fun things like that. Then she put on soaking music and asked us to picture Jesus in front of us. So as we were walking through ,meeting with Jesus and talking to Jesus then we asked Him to take us to our garden He made for us. So as we were doing this she asked people what Jesus did when they walked up to Him and then what he said. Some said He hugged them, said I love you, son, dance, etc. So now I will tell you what happened to me.
I saw Jesus in front of me. I walked up to Him and hugged Him and then he tucked my arm into his and looked down at me and said, "Are you ready to be a firecracker?" I totally understood this question. I laughed and then I asked Him to show me my garden. This cracked me up to. My normal brain thought it was going to have flowers and trees and what most would think of as a garden. But my garden was a maze. It was a maze cut out of bushes. So we walked arm in arm and talked about what the fireworks from me would look like. And as we walked around some corners there was something funny or silly and it made it enjoyable to look around the next bend to try and spot something. Then I asked about the fire mom saw in my hand and I saw it and it began to move up my arm and then I began lighting candles out of no where and the skies changed to the night sky that I love at home and then she called us back. It was a fun thing to do. I am looking forward to honing this skill and seeing all that He wants to show us. As you can tell through all my blog entries Jesus is revealing himself as my lover over everything else He is. It is great! I realize that all the scenes He reveals to me are lover like and romantic. The maze was a perfect garden for me. Simple yet intriguing and thought provoking. So this was the end of my day. I hope all of you can try this exercise and I will bet most of you have been there and didn't even know it! Have a wonderful week. This is my last week of school. I have a few more classes and then it turns into graduation and impartation! Hopefully some of you will be able to watch it on Friday. Have a blessed week.
