Worship: Our Source to Pure Prophetic Streams

There is something profoundly beautiful and serene about worship before the throne of GOD that’s hard to put into words because when you’re caught up in an authentic experience of worship in and before the FATHER it consumes the senses.

Your smell is engaged, your sight is engaged in a way it’s never been engaged before, your sense of feeling/touch is engaged (thus the uncontrollable outburst of emotion often), your taste is engaged (at least mine is). In fact King David, one of the greatest worshippers to walk the eat eludes to taste being an experience with GOD with these words in Psalm 34:8 “taste and see that the LORD is good. Taste from this text being the word: ta’am meaning to taste, eat and perceive. Meaning? Your taste in the presence of GOD. Your taste in fellowship and worship with GOD can most certainly be engaged. And finally - your hearing is engaged in a powerful way.

While worship is not that deep. Worship has a depth all its own and when we tap into that place of authentic worship - properly placed worship - it connects us with the purest connection of prophetic communication there is because in worship we breakthrough to the heart of the king. And when we enter into those deep places of intimacy with the FATHER, it’s there HE opens up and is vulnerable with us - revealing the depth of HIS heart toward us individually and HIS people. And for that reason it is vital we listen intently because in our hearing being engaged while in worship - we are able to not only know HIS heart towards us - we are able to hear and receive strategy and instruction to overcome obstacles and disappointments. We are able to receive the wisdom and insight needed for the assignments HE has given us and we are able to see and know on a different level...

Worship is powerful and it takes us to deep places in GOD that connect us with pure streams of the prophetic... Therefore I encourage you to become spirit and truth worshippers with purity in your heart and no hidden agendas.. Seek the FATHER in your worship. Inquire of HIM and HE will answer - you simply must be engaged in your hearing. Don’t let the emotions of the moment keep you laid out to the point you cannot hear what HE is saying because HE speaks intensely and precisely in worship.. So put on your ears in worship. Hear the FATHER and let HIM guides you in this hour..

II Kings 3:15 - 18 But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the LORD came upon him. And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Make this valley full of ditches. For thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts. And this is but a light thing in the sight of the LORD: he will deliver the Moabites also into your hand.

As this year closes and 2017 rolls in please understand - your ability to hear GOD (especially in worship) will be the difference between the enemy being delivered into your hands or you being delivered into the hands of your enemy... Hear, listen, heed and obey! Turn your ears on in worship.. Dry the tears, calm the flesh down and listen to the FATHER there is instruction for your victory in your hearing being engaged in HIS presence... Pure prophetic streams full of insight, wisdom and instruction await you.
Dive into HIS presence!!

Prophetic Meditation: When A Touch Draws the Oil

Luke 8:43-48: And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched. And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me. And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately. And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.

I love this text for many reasons as it puts on display the focus of our Messiah YESHUA (JESUS) in a beautiful way from the opening of the text which tells us of how HE went from city to city preaching and showing glad tidings of the Kingdom of GOD through every city HE never lost sight of preaching the Kingdom and showing the goodness of it. We see the depth of revelation HE was so willing to share with HIS disciples and those in relationship with HIM. We see HIS dedication to purpose to the point of cutting off family. We see HIM rest. We see HIS authority over the wind and demons. We see HIS compassion. We see so many things in this text and we see the impact of one touch.. Not HIS touch but the touch of a broken woman in desperate need of healing and restoration...

JESUS says in verse 45 says “who touched me” then Peter and the other disciples respond saying “Master the multitude throng thee and press thee.” Meaning? “Master there are too many people here to tell.” They couldn’t tell but HE could because the touch was different. This touch drew OIL/VIRTUE out of HIM...

Here’s a powerful revelation the FATHER dropped in my spirit this morning. The two words from verse 45 throne and press from the original Hebrew are the words synecho meaning hold together, press on every side, besiege, hold fast of a prisoner and apothlibo meaning to press on all sides, squeeze, press hard, of pressing out grapes and olives... My GOD...

In this text there were many people pressing CHRIST on every side, many trying to hold fast upon him as a prisoner, many were squeezing him and pressing upon him like a grape (to get wine) and olives (to receive the oil) but it wasn’t a press that drew the oil it was her touch. Pressing is synonymous with producing oil. But JESUS says who touched me or as translated from the original Hebrew word for touched in this text who haptomai me. Meaning. Who fastened themselves, adhered themselves and clung. She touched the him of his garment not HIM in the natural but that day she fastened herself to CHRIST in the realm of the spirit drawing out of HIM what others were trying to draw from HIM in the natural. They were pressing HIM for miracles but she was able to touch and receive...

Beloved of GOD - your miracle is not always in pressing harder or thronging harder in prayer - it’s found in your WORSHIP. It’s found in you fastening yourself to JESUS and touching HIM in a way no one else can. It’s found in the sincerity of your heart even though to others you are a useless outcast... Press in to join yourself to the Master and HE will respond to your touch...

Your touch can draw the OIL/VIRTUE when everyone else is trying to beat it out of JESUS with aggression. Your humility. Your worship. Your surrender can do more. So I encourage you on this day to go after HIM with your sincere authentic, desperate, hungry worship and you will draw OIL but you will touch HIM to the point that HE notices you...
