About prophetic Instrumental Music
What is prophetic Instrumental Music? This music is usually spontaneous and unrehearsed. It flows out of times spent in a place of worship and communion with the Lord. It is a musical, colourful picture that paints a picure which carries a message of what the holy Spirit is saying to His body.
I am not a trained musician in any sense, but have been able to play since the age of four. My mother tried to have me taught by various music teachers but after five of them did what they could for me, mother decided to let my ability with music mature naturally. I am grateful to Mom for allowing the Lord to have His way. It was not until much later in life, after I gave my heart to the Lord Jesus Christ and was born again, that the gifting which God Himself had so graciously invested in my life for the advancement of His kingdom, really matured both spiritually and technically! All glory to His name!
Since this is instrumental music, I have included interpretations of what I sense the Lord revealing through each track. I offer you these interpretations, while at the same time I realize that the Lord may desire to speak something entirely different to you. Simply focus on the Lord Jesus Christ and keep your heart open as you listen and bask in His presence. Enjoy communion with our Bridegroom! He absolutely delights in spending time with you. I have also included scripture references which I encourage you to meditate upon. The first track, “Abba Father, play Your heart through me” has a very special place in my heart. At the time, I was in a season of widowhood and with little regular income. I had thought of recording music to sell so as to make ends meet. Yet the more I considered this, the more I realized that the motive behind doing such a thing would not be the heart of God for me. I believe that the motive behind anything we do must primarily have the Kingdom of God at the heart of it. The Holy Spirit loves touching and restoring the lives of those who open their hearts to Him, and to advance the Kingdom of God through us. It is very important that our motives are pure before the Lord Jesus Christ.
This track was recorded in 1998, so “Abba Father” was not recorded on the latest technology. The sound of the piano is not the best. But as the Lord ushered me into the joy of hearing the music of heaven, He blessed me with a testimony that helped to lay a foundation. I believe you will also be blessed by my testimony. Many other pieces of music followed “Abba Father” through the years as God confirmed His calling upon my life as that of a prophetic psalmist.
1) Abba Father Play Your heart through me
Read About this music
On the evening God revealed what He had called me to, I sat behind the piano with both hands on my lap. My heart cried out, ”Abba Father, what is the use of putting a whole lot of music on a CD, if all people might say is ‘that is really nice music’ and then all go their individual ways without being touched, blessed, changed by You? Father, the only music that will change hearts is the music of heaven. But what is the music of heaven? What is the music of Your heart … what does it really sound like ?” I began praying, and as I continued, I felt a yearning and longing to know my heavenly Father’s heart.
God had been faithful, and the fellowship (church) I was part of had been experiencing awesome times in His manifest presence. Yet somehow I know there was more, much more to this One who loved me so much and whom I loved. So my heart’s cry was “Abba Father, please … play your heart through me.” After praying I just sat there quietly and waited … no familiar melody or song came into my heart … but after a while, I began to hear music, and as I listened, I just rested my hands across the keys of the piano. I sensed my Father saying, “Play what you hear”.
Slowly and softly, I started to play along with what I heard. The heavenly music the Holy Spirit was imparting to me was filling the room. I listened like someone standing on the outside looking in. As the music progressed, I sensed tones of sadness coming through the instrument. While still playing, I asked my heavenly Father, “Father, are You sad?” The answer came,“Yes, My daughter, the same relationship of love I have with you, I want with My people Israel. Please, as much as you love Me … love them, pray for them”. He continued, ”I love them. So My heart is that they too would drink from the fountain of life found in My Son.”
What followed was almost indescribable. I sat for a few more moments at the piano, convicted by my own lack of prayer for God’s beloved people, Israel. I have drunk from the wells of salvation, I enjoy a growing relationship with my heavenly Father, made possible by His Son Jesus Christ, a Jew, and I was enjoying our relationship so much that I had almost lost sight of what it cost Him. I really believe that the Lord Jesus Christ truly manifested His great love for us by His death on the cross. Draw near to Him in childlike faith, and He will draw near to you. As you rest in His presence, expect to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit, as He reveals to you “The Father’s heart”.
2) The Father’s call
Read About this music
I heard the Father calling me in the first part of this music. As I meditated upon this, it became very real to me that God has called us with a holy calling. I heard Him singing the phrase “My child, hear Me call-ing you” repeated over and over again, as the music progressed. Let us all be encouraged to seek the Father as we allow Him to establish us and mature us to the place where we know beyond the shadow of a doubt that we are in the centre of our Father’s will.
2 Timothy 1:8-11 MKJV
(8) Therefore you should not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner. But be partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God,
(9) who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given us in Christ Jesus before the eternal times.
(10) But it is now having been manifested by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has made death of no effect, bringing life and immortality to light through the gospel;
(11) to which I am appointed a preacher and an apostle and a teacher of the nations.
2 Peter 1:3-10 KJV
(3) According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
(4) Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
(5) And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
(6) And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
(7) And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
(8) For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
3) Grace for Grace
Read About this music
Oh the grace of my Father! He has been so gracious and continues to be gracious. As i sat behind the piano, I felt the need to play very simply. There are not many chords to this music, it is not a ‘busy’ piece of music and so I believe that as we rest in the Father’s presence we receive the grace to do whatever He instructs us to do, as He gives the grace to flow from a place of complete rest and trust in His ability and not our own. What is grace? Grace is unmerited favour. We are saved by grace through faith! I am continually aware that I deserve none of what my heavenly Father has bestowed upon me. I cannot but thank Him with a grateful heart as I deliver it by His grace to be a blessing to the body of Christ . We know that grace cannot be earned, it is something that is freely given. It is by the strength and grace of the Holy Spirit that I am able to write the interpretations and exhortations that accompany each piece of music. It is by His grace that He enables me to steward what He has given me in a manner that brings glory to His Name.
As I have put these resources together I am acutely aware that without the strength and grace of God Himself, I could never do it. And so I have leaned on Him for every bit of inspiration and guidance, and He has been faithful by His grace even to my ability to use a computer at the age of seventy. Thank You Jesus, thank You Father, thank You Holy Spirit! Thank You for great grace!
Ephesians 2:7-8 KJV
(7) That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
(8) For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
(9) Not of works, lest any man should boast.
(10) For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
John 1:14-18 MKJV
(14) And the Word became flesh, and tabernacled among us. And we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and of truth.
(15) John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, This was He of whom I spoke: He who comes after me has been before me, for He was preceding me.
(16) And out of His fullness we all hved, and grace for grace.
Acts 4:33 KJV
(33) And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.
2 Peter 1:2 KJV
(2) Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
4) Abide in Me
Read About this music
As with most of the instrumental ‘soaking’ music the Lord has given me, Abide in Me has a definite, focused thread of simply trusting in God and drawing near to Him. It leads into a deep sensing of being near quiet streams and green pastures. Bubbling waterfalls and drifting clouds in a blue sky. There is a call to unwavering confidence and trust in the One who has you in the palm of His hand. Abide in My love, abide in My Word. Be strengthened as you allow the Word of God to counsel, lead, admonish you in every decision you need to take, for His ways are perfect and His thoughts are higher than ours.
Prayer: Father, I see that the words that Jesus spoke in John really protect me from living a life that is selfish, meaningless and fruitless. Father I want to love as You loved, and give as You gave. Thank You for every ability that You have given me, yet I know that the greatest thing is the ability to love my neighbour as You have loved me. Help me to remember those who simply need a comforting word of encouragement and a cup of water. Let me be Your hands and Your feet today, Lord Jesus. I realise that in my own strength and ability this is impossible; but I also know that as I abide in Your strength and in the power of Your Spirit, I will bear much fruit. Thus, Father, truly Your Name will be glorified. Thank You Father that as You love me, You enable me to respond with loving and worshipping You and caring about others with the same love. Today and for eternity Lord Jesus, I choose to abide in You, and I thank You for the grace to do this. AMEN
John 15:4-9 MKJV
(4) Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.
(5) I am the Vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.
(6) If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered. And they gather and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
(7) If you abide in Me, and My Words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done to you.
(8) In this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, so you shall be My disciples.
(9) As the Father has loved Me, so I have loved you; continue in My love.
5) Enter into My rest
Read About this music
This music is very simple and very restful, so as we grow toward the simplicity of child-like faith and trust towards our heavenly Father, we can rest assured of His love for us, even in the midst of life’s storms.
Prayer: O Lord Jesus, life seems to be so very, very busy! In the midst of it all, I know I need to hear Your voice calling me to draw aside and spend time with You. I would really like to live every day doing what I need to do from a place of rest and confidence in You. Now I choose to come to You as I feel burdened with the busy-ness of life. I choose to set myself aside for a while and just meditate upon Your beauty, Your strength, Your holiness, Your Word and Your love for me. Thank You, Father, for revealing Your Son Jesus Christ to me by Your Holy Spirit. Thank You Holy Spirit for being a Comforter to me. I truly need You to lead me into all truth as You keep me on the path You have set before me. Lord Jesus, help me to slow down enough to hear Your voice calling me to ‘Come aside and spend time with Me’. Lord every moment spent in Your presence brings rest and peace to my heart and soul. Every day spent getting to know You more and more, brings me closer to Your perfect will for my life. My desire is to be able to share Your love with others, just as You have shown Your love to me. I love You Lord Jesus. AMEN.
Matthew 11:27-30 MKJV
(27) All things are delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son will reveal Him.
(28) Come to Me all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
(29) Take My yoke on you and learn of Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you shall find rest to your souls.
Hebrews 4:1-3 MKJV
(1) Therefore, a promise being left to enter into His rest, let us fear lest any of you should seem to come short of it.
(2) For also we have had the gospel preached, as well as them. But the Word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it.
(3) For we who have believed do enter into the rest, as He said, “I have sworn in My wrath that they should not enter into My rest;” although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
6) Healing
Read About this music
As I listened to this music I felt myself meditating on the attributes of God. He is good, He is gracious, He is healer, He is deliverer, He is gracious, He is kind, He is longsuffering, He is faithful and He is merciful. He wants to restore us, He made a way for us to be reconciled to Himself through His Son, Jesus Christ. At the same time, God is Father; while He will always love us, there are times when He needs to correct us as His sons and daughters, particularly when we are making decisions that conflict with His perfect plan and purpose for our lives.
My prayer, as you listen to ‘Healing’, is that you will be confident of the unshakeable truth that healing is in the atonement of the cross. Jesus bore the stripes on His back to give you and I healing; believe it and receive it! There are many more scriptures on healing, dearly beloved. Look them up!
Isaiah 53:4-5 AFV
(4) Surely He has borne our infirmities, and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
(5) But He was wounded for our transgressions; He was crushed for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we ourselves are healed.
Isaiah 53:4-5 AFV
(4) Surely He has borne our infirmities, and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
(5) But He was wounded for our transgressions; He was crushed for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we ourselves are healed.
Luke 4:40-41 AFV
(40) Now as the sun was going down, all those who had sick persons with various diseases brought them to Him; and He laid His hands on each one of them and healed them.
(41) And demons went out from many, crying out and saying, “You are the Christ, the Son of God.” But He rebuked them and did not allow them to speak, because they knew that He was the Christ.
7) Consider the Lilies
Read About this music
The beautiful flow of this music came with great ease, as I had a deep sensing of complete rest, trust and faith. The Holy Spirit never fails to speak through this music and always comes with a call to come up higher, and go down deeper, in the knowledge of my Beloved Jesus.
A child-like faith is simply trusting Him in His Word and believing that He is all that He says He is. Look at the beauty that surrounds us, the mountains, the flowers, the trees and the beautiful birds that wake us in the morning! And we know we are loved by the Creator of it all. How blessed we are!
Matthew 6:25-30 ISV
(25) “That’s why I’m telling you to stop worrying about your life—what you will eat or what you will drink—or about your body—what you will wear. Life is more than food, isn’t it, and the body more than clothing?
(26) Look at the birds in the sky. They don’t plant or harvest or gather food into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. You are more valuable than they are, aren’t you?
(27) Can any of you add a single hour to the length of your life by worrying?
(28) And why do you worry about clothes? Consider the lilies in the field and how they grow. They don’t work or spin yarn,
(29) but I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was clothed like one of them.
(30) Now if that is the way God clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today and thrown into an oven tomorrow, won’t he clothe you much better—you who have little faith?
Philippians 4:6-9 MKJV
(6) Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
(7) And the peace of God which passes all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
(8) Finally, my brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are right, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue and if there is any praise, think on these things.
(9) Do those things which you have also learned and received and heard and seen in me. And the God of peace shall be with you.
8) Like the dew of the morning
Read About this music
As this music played I just had a sense of peace. It was like God’s words were falling like rain, like the dew of the morning upon the fertile soil of our hearts. I found myself saying to the Lord “Oh Father You are just, and You are truly faithful, You are righteous and upright.” May an obedient and surrendered life cultivate the soil of our hearts. May our lives be like fertile soil where the Word of God can truly find a resting place and bring forth the fruit that our King Jesus delights in!
Hosea is a prophet whom God uses to portray a message of repentance to God’s people. Through Hosea’s marriage to Gomer, God shows His great love for His people, comparing himself to a husband whose wife has committed adultery, and using this image as a metaphor for the covenant between God and Israel.
God never changes the greatness and intensity of the love with which He loves his people. God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son!! Oh Father, Your great love for us! Help us to repond and draw near to You, as You stand as Father with open arms to receive us.
Meditate on His great love for you as the music ‘paints’ a picture of His love surrounding you and falling on your heart like the dew of the morning, like the rain of heaven bringing salvation, healing, forgiveness and restoration, and all you need that pertains to life and godliness.
Deuteronomy 32:1-4 ISV
(1) Hear, heavens, and I will speak! Listen, earth, to the words of My mouth!
(2) May My instructions descend like rain and may My words flow like dew, as light rain upon the grass, and as showers upon new plants.
(3) For I’ll proclaim the name of our LORD. Ascribe greatness to our God!
(4) Flawless is the work of the Rock, because all his ways are just. A faithful God—never unjust—righteous and upright is He.
Hosea 6:3 KJV Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: His going forth is prepared as the morning; and He shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.
Hosea 10:12 KJV Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till He come and rain righteousness upon you.
2 Peter 1:3 KJV According as His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
9) New every morning
Read About this music
As listened to this music, I imagined a beautiful sunrise and the gift from the Father of a brand new day! Truly His mercies are new every morning, that is why I felt to call it ‘New every morning’. The start of a new day can be new beginnings for many of us! Very often we need a second chance, and God graciously gives us one. So let’s forget those things which are behind as we allow the Father to usher us into a brand new season in our lives where He is “making all things new.”
Isaiah 43:18-19 AFV
(18) “Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old.
(19) Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall sprout; shall you not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, rivers in the desert.”
Lamentations 3:21-24 KJV
(21) This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
(22) It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
(23) They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
(24) The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
Romans 5:1-8 KJV
(1) Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
(2) By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
(3) And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
(4) And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
(5) And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
(6) For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
(7) For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
(8) But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
10) New wine skins
Read About this music
As I listened to this music, I noticed that it changes key every now and again — sometimes a minor key and then going back into a major chord. This reminds me of the various seasons of our lives. As we keep our eyes on our Lord Jesus Christ, our Father moulds and fashions us to look more and more like His Son, and changes us from glory to glory. He is weaving the material that will make up the new wineskins to contain the new wine. Let us cooperate with the Father as we are continually aware that He is the ‘potter’ and we are but clay vessels in the hands of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Philippians 3:12-14 AFV
(12) Not as though I have already received, or have already been perfected; but I am striving, so that I may also lay hold on that for which I also was laid hold of by Christ Jesus.
(13) Brethren, I do not count myself as having attained; but this one thing I do— forgetting the things that are behind, and reaching forth to the things that are ahead,
(14) I press toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
2 Corinthians 3:17-18 AFV
(17) Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
(18) But we all, with uncovered faces beholding the glory of the Lord as in a mirror, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
Galatians 6:14-15 MKJV
(14) But may it never be for me to boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world.
(15) For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision has any strength, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.
2 Corinthians 4:6-7 AFV
(6) Because it is God Who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, Who shined into our hearts the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
(7) Now we have this treasure in earthen vessels in order that the supremacy of the power may be of God, and not from us.
11) Freedom Beauty for ashes
Read About this music
As we receive the wonderful love of the Son of God, we know that the One who is the Way, the Truth and the Life has truly set us free from the ‘law of sin and death’. He came to restore us to His Father. As I played this music, I saw a dancer get up from the ashes of her past life. As she rises from these ashes, her clothing changes to the most beautiful, dazzling white dress. As the music plays, she swirls and spins as she holds onto the the hand of King Jesus. I notice that as she turns around she spins back to Him, again and again, yet doesn’t take her eyes off His gaze. All the while, as she dances the dance of freedom, it is as if she is as light as a feather. She has taken on His yoke which is light, and His burden which is easy. She has cast all her cares upon Him. She has been restored to her Creator, her Father, because the Son of God Jesus Christ gave his life to cleanse her and restore her to Himself. We, the redeemed, are the ‘joy set before Him’.
Isaiah 61:3 MKJV
(3) To appoint to those who mourn in Zion, to give to them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the mantle of praise for the spirit of heaviness; so that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He might be glorified.
Matthew 11:29-30 MKJV
(29) Take My yoke on you and learn of Me, for I am meek
and lowly in heart, and you shall find rest to your souls.
(30) For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.
Psalms 18:33 MKJV
(33) He makes my feet like hinds’ feet, and sets me on my
high places.
Romans 8:2 KJV
(2) For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath
made me free from the law of sin and death.
12) Blessed
Read About this music
This music carries a beautiful portrayal of what it means to be absolutely confident of the tremendous truth that I am called and chosen by my Father, betrothed to Jesus Christ His Son and empowered, taught and led by His Holy Spirit!
Prayer: Father, what a privilege to be chosen by You before the foundation of the world, that I should be holy and without blame before You in love. How wonderful to know that in and through the Lord Jesus Christ I am totally Yours; You have called me to Yourself through Your Son! I am adopted into Your family by the good pleasure of Your will. Father, help me to stay close to You in my everyday life. Thank You that You have blessed me with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. Thank you for every gifting and ability You have given me. Be glorified by means of every area in my life. Draw me to Yourself if ever I should stray from the path that You have chosen for me. I ask You to open and shut doors where necessary, so that I remain in the centre of Your will. Open the eyes of my understanding that I may serve You with my whole heart, and glorify You here on this earth. AMEN.
Ephesians 1:2-5 KJV
(2) Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
(3) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
(4) According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
(5) Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
1 Peter 4:10-11 KJV
(10) As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
(11) If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
13) Waves of Peace
Read About this music
The restful melody of this music reminds us of the words that our Lord Jesus Christ spoke when he said, “let not your hearts be troubled”. Peace is something many seek, but do not find. Stress causes many physical illnesses and other infirmities in our world, but these words from our Saviour encourage us and steer us to a place of knowing His perfect peace and perfect love, which casts out fear. I encourage you to read the scriptures below and meditate upon them as you listen to the music.
Psalms 42:7-8 AFV
(7) Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls; all Your waves and Your billows have gone over me.
(8) The LORD will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night His song shall be with me, even a prayer to the God of my life.
John 14:26-27 MKJV
(26) But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance, whatever I have said to you.
(27) Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Galatians 5:22-25 MKJV
(22) But the fruit of the Spirit is: love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, (23) meekness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
(24) But those belonging to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.
(25) If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Colossians 3:12-15 MKJV
(12) Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender feelings of mercy, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering,
(13) forbearing one another and forgiving yourselves, if anyone has a complaint against any. As Christ forgave you, so also you do.
(14) And above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfectness.
(15) And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which you also are called in one body, and be thankful.
14) Pleasures forevermore
Read About this music
In the presence of the Lord there is fullness of joy. At Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore. Oh the greatness and the goodness of the Lord! This music stirs up a strong confidence in the majesty and beauty of Who God is! Cascades of living waters and streams, moments of restful beauty and places of just being in awe of His greatness and holiness. Just bask in his presence and be in sweet communion with the Lover of your soul, as you come to a place of rest and peace like John the beloved disciple, with your head on Jesus’ chest.
Psalms 16:1-11 AFV
(1) A Secret Treasure of David. Preserve me, O God, for in You do I take refuge.
(2) I have said to the LORD, “You are my LORD; I have no goodness apart from You.”
(3) As for the saints in the earth, “They are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.”
(4) Their sorrows shall be multiplied who run after another god. I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood; and I will not take their names upon my lips.
(5) The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup; You shall uphold my lot.
(6) The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; yea, I have a beautiful inheritance.
(7) I will bless the LORD Who has given me counsel; my heart also instructs me in the nights.
(8) I have set the LORD always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
(9) Therefore My heart is glad, and My glory rejoices; My flesh also shall rest in safety,
(10) For You will not abandon My soul to the grave; neither will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.
(11) You will make known to Me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy. At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
15) The harvest is white
Read About this music
This music has a very focused, steady sound to it. I believe each one of us has been called for a specific purpose in the harvest fields of the body of Christ. When Jesus spoke to the Samaritan woman while the disciples had gone elsewhere, He released a word of knowledge about her life, spoke to her about living waters, true worship, and revealed to her who He was. He with His words won her soul for the Kingdom of God. Jesus was doing the will of the Father, this was His “food”, this was His purpose here on earth!
John 4:23-26 AFV
(23) But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father is indeed seeking those who worship Him in this manner.
(24) God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth.”
(25) The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming, Who is called Christ; when He comes, He will tell us all things.”
(26) Jesus said to her, “I Who speak to you am He.”
John 4:34-37 AFV
(34) Jesus said to them, “My meat is to do the will of Him Who sent Me, and to finish His work.
(35) Do not say that there are yet four months, and then the harvest comes. I say to you, look around. Lift up your eyes and see the fields, for they are already white to harvest.
(36) And the one who reaps receives a reward, and gathers fruit unto eternal life; so that the one who is sowing and the one who is reaping may both rejoice together.
(37) For in this the saying is true, that one sows and another reaps.
The parable of the ten talents : I encourage you to read the whole parable!
Luke 19:12-13 KJV
(12) He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
(13) And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
16) Heart Harmonies – Dry bones live
Read About this music
As I put together this music from the pilot track, I added various other instruments like flutes and harp. They flowed beautifully together, which reminded me that it so important to walk in agreement with God and His Word! How can two walk together except they agree : Amos 3 : 3. Walking in the Spirit in agreement and union with the heart of God is so life-giving and essential to our spiritual well-being. Listen to the ‘dry bones’ as they come together before the clock strikes midnight and the trumpet sounds. Let us endeavour to keep our hearts in agreement and harmony with the Father as we prepare to meet the Bridegroom!
John 15:7-11 MKJV
(7) If you abide in Me, and My Words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done to you.
(8) In this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, so you shall be My disciples.
(9) As the Father has loved Me, so I have loved you; continue in My love.
(10) If you keep My commandments, you shall abide in My love, even as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.
(11) I have spoken these things to you so that My joy might remain in you and your joy might be full.
Ezekiel 37:1-6 MKJV
(1) The hand of Jehovah was on me, and brought me by the Spirit of Jehovah, and made me rest in the midst of a valley, and it was full of bones.
(2) And He made me pass among them all around. And behold, very many were on the face of the valley. And lo, they were very dry.
(3) And he said to me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord Jehovah, You know.
(4) Again He said to me, Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, O dry bones, hear the Word of Jehovah.
(5) So says the Lord Jehovah to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live.
(6) And I will lay sinews on you, and will bring up flesh on you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live. And you shall know that I am Jehovah.
17) Rejoice John 15 vs 11
Read About this song
This particular track has been one of the most exhilarating, energising tracks I have ever had the privilege to play. The music really flows, and the additional instruments just came so easily. It is the same keyboard which I used to record “Behold the Bridegroom comes!”
I experienced such a thrust of faith as I played. I experienced something like being a child in a playground and I held hands with Jesus as we danced together. As the music continued, I sensed a strong inner confidence that surrender and obedience are the keys to experiencing the joy that Jesus is talking about in the scriptures.
As we surrender and obey, we are placing our full trust in the person He is, in that He will never leave us nor forsake us, even through the storms of life. The King is in the boat with us and He has given us authority to speak to the storms in His matchless name, the Name Jesus Christ! Surely then we can unreservedly surrender and yield to Him every aspect of our lives. This is true, lasting joy. Now let us lift our hands in praise as we dance!!
Luke 22:41-42 Modern KJV
(41) And He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw. And He kneeled down and prayed,
(42) saying, Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours be done.
John 15:9-11 Modern KJV
(9) As the Father has loved Me, so I have loved you; continue in My love.
(10) If you keep My commandments, you shall abide in My love, even as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.
(11) I have spoken these things to you so that My joy might remain in you and your joy might be full.
Hebrews 12:2 Modern KJV
(2) … looking to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and sat down at the right of the throne of God.
18) Rejoice O daughter of Zion
Read About this music
‘Rejoice, O daughter of Zion’ starts of at a fairly moderate speed and then crescendoes, builds up and has some ‘ebbs and flows’. As I listened to this music there was a sensing that all through our lives we experience ebbs and flows, change direction, and go through ‘wilderness’ experiences. Yet through season after season I believe God is saying, “Stay focused on Me.” Let our confidence be in the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. In the following scriptures the Lord says “Fear not.” Yet many of the people who threw palm branches and shouted “Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord,” could well have been the same ones who shouted “Crucify Him!”.
No matter what, dearly beloved, let us never lose sight of the unshakeable truth that we are truly sons and daughters of the living God. In Him is our trust and our confidence. In this we rejoice!!
John 12:12-15 MKJV
(12) On the next day, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, a great crowd who had come to the Feast
(13) took branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him. And they cried, Hosanna! “Blessed is the King of Israel who comes in the name of the Lord!”
(14) And finding an ass colt, Jesus sat on it; as it is written,
(15) “Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your King comes sitting on the foal of an ass.”
Philippians 3:1-3 MKJV
(1) Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is indeed not grievous to me, but for you it is safe.
(2) Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision party.
(3) For we are the circumcision who worship God in the spirit and rejoice in Christ Jesus and have no confidence in the flesh;
19) A new covenant O Israel
Read About this music
The music on this track has a strong Jewish flavour … and with it comes a deep gratitude to God’s people for the Bible, the Word of God which we are so privileged to have continually available to us. Jesus Christ the Messiah came to His own special people, Israel. Some of them believed in Him but many did not. Nevertheless and in fulfilment of prophecy, Jesus instituted a new covenant, “in My blood”, He said, at what the gospels call the ‘last supper’. The gospels and the new covenant were primarily for the Jews, God’s chosen people, but ultimately for all believers, including Gentiles in Israel and everywhere else. According to the apostle Paul, sent by God to the Gentiles, most Jews refused the gospel and the new covenant, while many Gentiles accepted salvation by faith. However, God did not forsake His chosen people in their temporary ‘blindness’. Paul explains in Romans that while the Gentiles’ faith would provoke the Jews to jealousy, it is God’s plan to bring all Jews to salvation by means of His gospel and new covenant. A great cause for rejoicing! When that time comes, Gentile believers are like a wild olive tree grafted into the roots of an older, cultivated olive tree representing the Old Covenant.
Hebrews 8 : 6 NKJV — But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as he is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.
Heb. 8 : 7-9 NKJV — the new covenant for Israel prophesied by Jeremiah.
Heb. 9 : 22 NKJV — without shedding of blood, no forgiveness of sins, with ref. to Leviticus 17 : 11
Matthew 26 : 26-28 & Luke 22 : 19-20 NKJV — (verse 20) Likewise He also took the cup after supper saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you … “
Acts of the Apostles 13 : 42-52 NKJV — (verses 46-47) Then Paul and Barnabas grew bold and said, “It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken to you first, but since you reject it, … behold, we turn to the Gentiles. For the Lord has commanded us : I have set you as a light to the Gentiles …“.
Ephesians 2 : 11-13 NKJV — (verse 13) But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off, have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
Romans : chapter 11 — all 36 verses.
20) Dance with the beloved
Read About this music
The Father brought forth this music after a ladies’ meeting many years ago. The keyboard was simply standing and waiting to be packed into its case! I was led to it sensing an unction to play. This is very simple music. I saw the Bridegroom Jesus Christ waltzing with His Bride (His Bride is both male and female). The sound of the instruments was very focused, which suggested that the bride was just as focused, and concentrating on every movement the Bridegroom was making! As she yielded she was able to move effortlessly, totally synchronized with His every move.
What really stands out to me in this music is the complete oneness and unity of the bride and the Bridegroom.
John 17:13-26 MKJV
(13) And now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world that they might have My joy fulfilled in them.
(14) I have given them Your Word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
(15) I do not pray for You to take them out of the world, but for You to keep them from the evil.
(16) They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
(17) Sanctify them through Your truth. Your Word is truth.
(18) As You have sent Me into the world, even so I have sent them into the world.
(19) And I sanctify Myself for their sakes, so that they also might be sanctified in truth.
(20) And I do not pray for these alone, but for those also who shall believe on Me through their word,
(21) that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, so that the world may believe that You have sent Me.
(22) And I have given them the glory which You have given Me, that they may be one, even as We are one,
(23) I in them, and You in Me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that You have sent Me and have loved them as You have loved Me.
21) Fruit bearing joy
Read About this music
Awake! O north wind; and come, south wind; blow on my garden (Reference below). Lord, whether the north wind of adversity is blowing, or the south wind of blessing, let the fruit keep blossoming in my life!
By the strength of God’s grace, I will bless the Lord at all times His praise shall continually be in my mouth. [Psalm 34:1] Of course there are times when I go through struggles, but when I cry out to my Beloved, the Holy Spirit never fails to remind me that I am His and He is mine and His banner over me is love! Let Him partake of the fruit of the garden of my heart and life, no matter what season I am in.
So dearly beloved, right from the beginning God had a garden and now in these end-times God has a garden in the hearts of His people. My Beloved loves fruitfulness that abounds to the advancing of His Kingdom here on earth.
2 Corinthians 2:14 AFV
(14) But thanks be to God, Who always leads us triumphant in Christ, and manifests the fragrance of His knowledge through us in every place.
Genesis 1:22 MKJV
(22) And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters of the seas and let the fowl multiply in the earth.
Jeremiah_23:3 And I will gather the remnant of My flock out of all countries where I have driven them, and will bring them again to their fold. And they shall be fruitful and multiply.
Song of Solomon 4:16 MKJV
(16) Awake, O north wind; and come, south wind; blow on my garden, so that the spices of it may flow out. Let my Beloved come into His garden and eat His pleasant fruits.
John 15:1-2 MKJV
(1) I am the True Vine, and My Father is the Vinedresser.
(2) Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away. And every one that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bring forth more fruit.
22) Warrior bride
Read About this music
Dearly beloved, across the nations, the body of Christ is without doubt in a battle! However, we have the victory in Jesus if we are faithful to heed the call to surrender and obedience. As I put this music together with the help of the Holy Spirit, I saw in the Spirit a company of people dressed in white but wearing army boots! They marched forward in absolute unity with great determination and purpose! They lifted up their swords as they prayed, proclaimed the Name and decreed the victory of the Lord. As the music progressed, I soon realised there were moments of great joy and confidence as the marching transformed into a dance! When the music comes to an end, there is a sense of completion and victory as the company of God’s people rest in green pastures. I believe Jesus is coming for a victorious, pure, spotless Bride without spot or blemish. I believe this music can be used for intercession in the body of Christ as they get drawn into the vision and join the great company of watchmen-warriors!
Isaiah 42:10-13 AFV
(10) Sing to the LORD a new song; His praise from the end of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and its fullness; the isles and their people.
(11) Let the wilderness and its cities lift up their voice, the villages where Kedar dwells. Let the dwellers of the rock sing, let them shout from the mountain tops.
(12) Give glory to the LORD and declare His praise in the isles.
(13) The LORD shall go forth as a warrior, He stirs up zeal like a man of war; He shouts, yea, roars; He overcomes His enemies.
Joel 2:15-19 AFV
(15) Blow a ram’s horn in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly.
(16) Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children and those who suck the breasts. Let the bridegroom go forth out of his chamber, and the bride out of her room.
(17) Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, “Spare Your people, O LORD, and give not Your inheritance to shame, that the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the people, ‘Where is their God?’ “
(18) Then the LORD will be jealous for His land and pity His people.
(19) Yea, the LORD will answer and say to His people, “Behold, I will send you grain, and wine, and oil, and you shall be satisfied with them. And I will no more make you a curse among the nations.
23) The voice of my beloved
Read About this music
The night I heard this music in the Spirit, the scripture in Song of Songs became revelation to me! As I played what I was hearing in the Spirit, I was also seeing in the Spirit, and I saw the Bride of Christ, jumping and dancing upon a mountain, and taking the hand of her Beloved King Jesus. Then her Beloved indicated with His hand for her to come up higher. Together they jumped and danced within the Holy Spirit as though in a whirlwind. As they reached another level, He beckoned to her to come up yet higher (each change of musical key seeming to indicate a greater level of maturity for the Bride) until at last they reached the summit. There was a radiant joy on her face as she beheld the captain of her salvation, her King and her Beloved Jesus Christ! There on the summit she danced with Him in freedom, joy, victory and celebration. As her garments glowed a brilliant white, they became one with His garments. She was presented pure and spotless before the Father by His Son Jesus Christ. What do I sense the Father saying to us through this piece of music? Song of Solomon 2 : 9 says “He stands behind OUR wall.” Have we created walls around our hearts?
Does He need to look for little openings in our busy lifestyle as He calls and woos us to come up higher or go deeper with Him? Notice that the Word says that He was gazing through the ‘lattice’. I looked up the word ‘lattice’, and it means ‘small opening like a window, in a door’. Oh dearest child of God, let us not erect walls around our hearts and lives, let our Beloved Jesus not have to gaze at us through little windows in a door, but let us open our hearts wide for Him, and let the walls come down so that with passionate love, joy and excitement, we can accept His invitation to “Rise up my love, my fair one, and come away.”
Song of Solomon 2:8-17 AFV
(8) The voice of my Beloved! Behold, He comes leaping on the mountains, skipping on the hills. (9) My Beloved is like a gazelle or a young hart. Behold, He stands behind our wall, He looks in through the windows, peers through the lattice. (10) My Beloved spoke, and said to me, “Rise up, My love, My beautiful one, and come away.”
Song of Solomon 2:15-17 AFV (15) Catch us the foxes, the little foxes that spoil the vines; for our vines are in blossom. (16) My Beloved is mine, and I am His; He feeds among the lilies. (17) Until the day break and the shadows flee away, turn, my Beloved, and be like a gazelle, or a young stag, upon the mountains of spices.
24) The trumpet sounds!
Read About this music
The sound of the ram’s horn or trumpet is mentioned twenty-five times in the Old Testament and eleven times in the New Testament. That’s thirty-six times in the whole of God’s Word!! It is a really significant musical instrument to the Lord! It was used to announce that the presence of a Holy God was descending upon Mount Sinai! The use of a trumpet, shofar or ram’s horn is vast, and the reason God uses it, is a valuable study all by itself. This music is strong and very definitely a call to draw near to the Lord.
Exodus 19:16-17 AFV
(16) And it came to pass on the third day in the morning that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mountain. And the sound of the trumpet was exceedingly loud so that all the people in the camp trembled.
(17) And Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God. And they stood at the base of the mountain.
Nehemiah 4:20 AFV
(20) In whatever place you hear the sound of the trumpet, gather there to us. Our God will fight for us.”
Ezekiel 33:6-7 AFV
(6) But if the watchman sees the sword coming, and does not blow the ram’s horn/trumpet and the people are not warned; if the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity. But I will require his blood at the watchman’s hand.’
(7) And you, son of man, I have set you as watchman to the house of Israel. Therefore you shall hear the Word from My mouth, and warn them from Me.
Joel 2:1 AFV
(1) Blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in My holy mountain!” Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of the LORD comes, for it is near at hand—
1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 AFV (16) Because the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout of command, with the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first;
(17) Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds for the meeting with the Lord in the air; and so shall we always be with the Lord.
(18) Therefore, encourage one another with these words.
25) Behold the bridegroom comes
Read About this music
This track has a wonderful testimony! The music was brought forth in the year 1999. I was a widow at the time, living in a house which I rented from a dear friend who lived just round the corner. Her husband would go on business trips now and again, and she preferred to not spend the nights by herself while he was away. One particular night she had asked me to come and ‘sleep over’ at her house.
During this season in my life, I did not own any musical instrument except a small shofar! Fortunately however, another friend of mine who at the time lived in Pietermaritzburg, would lend me his keyboard whenever he was prompted by the Holy Spirit to bring it to me. As the Father would have it, on the night I spent at my local friend’s house the keyboard was with me.
I had wondered whether I should go to her house, as I had sensed in my spirit that the Lord was about to bring forth prophetic music. ‘Religion’ told me that this could only be done ‘in my closet’, But the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart and said “Cindy, you know what ‘love’ would do”. So my dear friend came and fetched me, and the keyboard, and we went to her home.
I was not really expecting any music to come forth, so I sat and timed all the other tracks which were already on a disk in the keyboard. My friend had decided to make us both a ‘cuppa’. Then she came and stood behind the keyboard, watching my hands on it. It was as if the Holy Spirit had waited for her to stand there! I sensed within myself the most urgent need to play, what, I did not know, but I needed to play! I sensed something was about to ‘burst’ and I needed to release whatever music the Lord wanted to bring forth!
What transpired was an almost indescribable experience. I looked up at my friend, I just said “I need to play”, and set the keyboard to ‘easy record’. Then the Holy Spirit took over. As I listened to the music play back, so as to discern what the Lord was saying through the music, I realised that the picture that the Holy Spirit was painting, in bright musical colours, was crystal-clear! The Bridegroom is coming soon! Listen to ‘Behold, your+ Bridegroom comes’, keep your ‘lamps trimmed’ and be ready to meet Him!
