Swimming in the river of your righteous Holy Spirit. Uncap the wells of living water, fill this place with the spirit of god, that we might do cannonballs in your glory and goodness. We stand on the cross and all that you’ve done. We thirst for your presence to touch every life. My soul pours out for the love of the father. Mountains move and your strength is evident. I see the glory of your hand through the children of god. Move. Hello lamb of god. Unblemished, washed white by the blood. Praise is the greatest weapon for us. A severe sword of the word has two edges and will prevail. Love never fails. Come and see. The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Hearts fall in love with Jesus. Worthy is he. The fire he makes in the altar of my heart. The waves and white caps on fire. Release the flame and glory of the Lord. Fire. “Pretty much god strength,” said David-Joseph standing on the truth.

Praise and worship

• 1 Samuel 10 5-6 – Saul is anointed king and then travels meeting a group of prophets and musicians en route. As a result of this encounter Saul becomes a changed man and begins to prophesy himself. The point here is to reflect that music and prophecy are frequently intertwined.
• 1 Chronicles 25 – David set apart men who would prophesy together with accompaniment from harps, lyres and cymbals. It states: Jeduthun, who prophesied, using the harp in thanking and praising the LORD.
• Ephesians 5:19 (ESV) – Speak to each other with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making music in your hearts to the Lord.
• 2 Kings 3:15 – The prophet Elisha called for a harpist to play so the “hand of the LORD” would come upon him, showing music creates an atmosphere for prophecy.
• 1 Corinthians 14:3 – Prophetic music, like spoken prophecy, aims to edify, encourage, and comfort believers.
• Psalm 40:3 (NLT) – He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what he has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the Lord.
• Psalm 22:3 – expressing that God is holy and dwells in, or is glorified by, the worship of His people, even amidst suffering. It signifies that praise brings God’s presence and character (love, peace, truth) into dark moments, highlighting God’s faithfulness.
