my leaders my leita thank you for joining me today um excited because today's video is a little different okay I have something special I want to share with you and it's this prophetic confirmation that I received today and there's a video that my wife sent me by the individual by John eard many of you all who have or may not know John Ard he's a ministered pastor prophet and a while back years ago I bought one of his book called the spiritual warfare manual and he literally breaks down scripture of principalities in Dark Places that the Bible confirms that that's where our real battle is it's not in this flesh
that we rationing with but it's rulers in Dark Places okay demonic entities this is not spooky talk this is the real deal right so today there was a video that he posted and it spoke about confirmation for artists creatives individual that God has placed on your heart to do things in the creative field the creative aspects even down to the photography the music and he he read from the Psalms that talked about the heart heart okay and this harp was also a thing that was anointed to be used for a specific purpose and the idea behind the message was that many of us have hung up our instruments we hung
up the thing that God has annointed this season for us to use to bring about Deliverance Victory and even praise to him and when we get to praising God that's when we get Victory truly that's a whole another conversation but I want to reel this in because on my birthday last year November 6th put that on your calendar for this year so I can get some gifts I need to get some gifts my leaders on my birthday the Lord confirmed to me a verse I'm going to read today the whole Psalms 33 is beautiful but if you got your Bible I want you to go to Psalms 33 and before
I get there we're going to pray but I want to say that the lord gave me this for a specific purpose and for a specific reason and I'm going to share this with you all because today's video is going to help someone Break Free you've been heavy your spirit has been loaded you've been feeling a lot of weight you've been feeling like you're carrying things and you're trying to figure out how do I praise God this season with all this weight and all this baggage how do I feel Joy again how do I feel peace again okay and that's what we're going to speak about I'm give you an assignment
today on things to do scripturally that God is calling you to do this season and if you feel like this is a confirmation after I finish this video send it to somebody else make sure you share this video with at least one other person so let's pray dear Lord heavenly father in Jesus mighty name we magnify the name of Jesus right now and we just take a moment to worship you to acknowledge your presence to bring in your peace right now your love is perfect your love is everything that we need your presence is what we seek father we just want to feel you Lord we repent right now for
anything that we've done that went against your word that went against your will father we repent right now we ask for your forgiveness truly Lord father we know not what we do at times we allow the flesh to lead but Lord I pray today that you give us strength and you pick us back up father I pray for your mercies I pray for your grace and father I cover this leader right now with your blood and I ask that you would protect this leader on today that you would give him a peace today that you would give him Joy God and you would indwell the spirit of this creativity ignite
their creativity ignite their worship ignite their praise Heavenly Heavenly Father Lord we ask that you be here right now I share this scripture and allow this seed to do what only this word can do so father lead me today I can feel your peace right now God hallelujah thank you Jesus guide me in this hour in Jesus name we pray amen my L I feel a peace right now I don't know about you but I feel a very special peace and today I need you to understand something very specific God loves your praise he loves your worship he loves your sound he loves your voice he loves when you call
out to him and God has gifted you with the Holy Ghost and you my friend have a special anointing something that I've been doing this week specifically that I've been doing for years years is I've been writing I've been writing to God I've been writing poetry to God I've been writing songs and I want us to read this verse real quick it's in Psalms 33 okay and I'm going to read verse three but before I read that I'm going to stop at verse three let's read verse one it says rejoice in the Lord oh ye righteous this is Psalms 33 I'm going say it again Psalms 33:1 rejoice in the
Lord oh ye righteous for praise is commonly for the upright praise the Lord with harp sing unto him with the saltery and an instrument of 10 strings sing unto him a new song play skillfully with a loud noise for the word of the Lord is right and all his works are done in truth he loveth righteousness and judgment the Earth is full of the goodness of the Lord the Earth is full of the the goodness of the Lord edar broke down this word harp harp we know is is an instrument but this implication of him speaking about praising the Lord with a harp it's not just about a musical instrument
it has spiritual connotations here the harp is the thing that's Anointed The Harp is this thing that is set set apart to be used to praise God to be used to worship and now the verse that he he read these individuals they were in so much sorrow and so much defeat that during these times of defeat defeat sorrow sorrow neglect betrayal they hung up the harp they hung up their instruments of Praise Holy Ghost can you speak to me thank you Jesus somebody here right now under the sound of my voice has hung up their harp they hung up their instruments of praise it just feels like it's hard to
praise him right now in these moments in this time in this hour and there's so much things that are going on in this world with the recent elections right and natural disasters across the globe we're seeing things things happen that are just so daunting nevertheless what we're going through in our own personal lives it just seems hard to worship to praise it just seems hard to get that instrument out that you used to use that brought you great joy God wants to utilize you this season in a special way and I realized something this week where the Lord was challenging me is that yeah when I get into Times where
it's tough and it's difficult yeah you know I could go to God I could pray and I worship and that that that helps but sometimes it's hard to want to be in this creative posture it's hard to want to be in that creative Zone at times it's hard to want to ah man let me write this poem or write this music but what the Lord reminded me is that even when I'm down or I'm going through something those are the very times to get into worship and to sing songs of praise unto him those are the moments especially those those times not just allowing the the worship music that I
see on YouTube and worship lead and singing I have my own Tunes I have my own beat to step to and so verse 33 Psalms 33 rather verse three says this sing unto him a new song play skillfully another word that you can use for skillfully is play with wisdom wisdom a loud noise so play skillfully with a loud loud noise sing to him a new song this week more than ever I've been writing which is y'all seen some of the post of just new music new poetry and for me it's really for me it does my heart so much joy that I've been able to get before the Lord
each and every single day and just be able to write and I've I've been doing this for a few years now not even a few years more than a few years now and there was a time where I just stopped writing I stopped writing the poetry and the Lord had to remind me why did you put this down when this is something that I gifted you with and I blessed you to be able to do this you and and me it something that helps me heal it's something that prophesies to me it's a form of release that I can't get in any other medium when I'm singing these songs and
I'm writing this poetry down it's a different form of Praise into worship to God and I didn't know that you know I've been heavy in my Bible study I've been heavy in my reading but this week he slowed me down for a second to say hey Mike I want you to keep studying I want you to keep reading and I want you to keep speaking to your leaders but first and foremost get in the word for yourself okay but I don't want you to stop writing songs I don't want you to stop being creative I I put that in here for you it's a form of therapy all right but
also what I realize not only is it a form of therapy it's a place that keeps me delivered from things it's a space that when I enter time does not exist the enemy can't even seep in the enemy has no room to seep in cuz I'm such in a spiritual State it's just me me God and Me pondering his words and pondering how I connect these words with this word it's a beautiful space where I just get to be in the spirit and create in the beginning God created Genesis 1 in the beginning God created our creative nature nature is a part of the image and the likeness and the
character of Christ it's the character of God it's the nature of God God's nature is a creative nature and therefore if we are not partaking in one of the most beautiful things that we can partake in we're doing ourselves a disservice what God has gifted you to create to sing to build to make it's truly a gift from God that serves a multitude of purposes and one of them is praise and worship and it honor God and I'm doing this video I'm going read this again praise the Lord with a heart singing to him with the salt tree and an instrument of 10 strings sing unto him a new song
play skillfully with a loud noise and as I was riding Monday when I got back into my writing posture instead of just doing it periodically I asked the question I said God okay I'm able to finish these thoughts and these ideas that are in my mind can I do it again Tuesday part of me started to doubt myself like I don't know if I could I went into the presence of God worship found the instrumental that I like more stuff started to pour out based on my scriptures I said dang God Tuesday happened oh this felt good can I do this again Wednesday Lord behold I'm sitting there it's Wednesday
and once again I'm able to write more and there's just this outpouring I ask the Lord okay can I do it again today I sit down Worship in that same posture I'm able to write more and I realized once again that there was a scripture that was given to me today talking about that when we are connected with Christ there we become like a river where streams of water just begin to flow and so so the nature of God we don't even really comprehend or understand but we're like a tree planted by a stream and there's just this overflow God can never just be done there is no there is
no limit he is the end he is the beginning he is the alpha he is the Omega there is no limit in how he creates so when you are connected with the Holy Ghost or in tune with your Holy Spirit Spirit the things that you're able to do is going to Pro I mean profoundly exceedingly above and beyond what you can even think of captivate you in a way where you're you're going to ask yourself I still don't understand myself and I still don't understand just how great and how Mighty you are in this season what God wants to do through your worship and your praise and your your creativity
through your writings he's going to cause you to take that that harp he's going to cause you put it forth go forth use it again sing again write again so I want to even shout out to EOP for just this confirmation I thought is this just me but then there's so many other individuals who are experiencing the same exact thing I had a individual called me not called me send me a text message the other day and he said these last 3 months he feels like hey God has released him in a way that he hasn't been released in The Last 5 Years and hey I want to do this
next project let's come on let's let's go and it got me so hype like yo I was just feeling the same way too but other believers are feeling the same way so I just wanted to share this quick message with you all and my challenge is in your praise this month this this year find a creative way to praise the Lord as well what can you do to praise the Lord creatively maybe it's learn some guitar lessons I want to learn the guitar I got an acoustic guitar that I'm trying to learn I got a friend right now he's learning he's doing piano lessons how to play the piano yeah
it's crazy another video is in the Old Testament the the Levites who were set apart to be the priesthood they were in charge of the music music Ministry so this act of creativity this act of Music this act of praise and worship has been here from the beginning so let us not leave it to everybody else to be creative no no no you're creative as well too you got a gift you have have a talent as well too you have a song as well too you have a book as well too you have a film as well too yeah you have a program as well too you have you're a

even meant to be posted but Lord I pray that in this video we gain the confidence to sing a new song to play skillfully unto you heavenly father to pick up those things that we put down lord Jesus father I'm asking for the confidence of this leader to increase Lord that you would show them something brand new like you're doing me that you would even surprise them when they begin to do something new something consistent something that brings a peace and a joy but honors you heavenly father father I'm praying right now that you release the gift in this leader today allow them to seek it pray for it and
