=== Creating Prophetic Atmospheres (01:48) ===

[00:00:00]  You have a devotional in here titled, Bring Me a Minstrel.
[00:00:06]  You write about leveraging music to shift demonic atmospheres and create prophetic atmospheres.
[00:00:14]  Can you enlarge on that a little bit?
[00:00:17]  Yes, I love this because it comes in the context of Elisha and King Ahab and Jeroboam came to him wanting a word.
[00:00:25]  You know, they're going to go to war.
[00:00:26]  We're looking for a word from the prophet.
[00:00:28]  And Elisha was really irritated.
[00:00:30]  He's like, I don't want anything to do with this Ahab guy.
[00:00:33]  I mean, he gave my spiritual father, Elijah, a hard time.
[00:00:37]  You know, he's putting up with Jezebel.
[00:00:39]  He's like, he didn't want to deal with it.
[00:00:41]  And he knew that.
[00:00:42]  Now, this is really critical for those prophets and prophetic people.
[00:00:45]  You have to understand that when your soul is in a place of irritation, grief, sorrow, anger, depression, you're in some kind of mood.
[00:00:54]  You don't want to prophesy out of your mood.
[00:00:56]  You don't want to prophesy out of your soul, your mind, your will, your emotions.
[00:00:59]  You want to prophesy out of the Spirit of God.
[00:01:01]  So Elisha knew he needed to shift that atmosphere.
[00:01:04]  And so he called in a minstrel.
[00:01:07]  You know, before I came here, I was over in Kansas City at Mike Bickle's church, IHOP, and I love Mike.
[00:01:14]  And he's tremendous.
[00:01:15]  And I'm sitting there in the prayer room, just, you know, waiting on the Lord.
[00:01:20]  And there's just something about, you know, creating a culture of worship in your own life that opens your ears in a way that most other things won't.
[00:01:29]  We can enter through the gate of the word.
[00:01:31]  But worship is so critical because it focuses us so clearly on Jesus.
[00:01:35]  And prophets and prophetic people, you know, Pastor Jim's telling you over and over by the Spirit of the Lord how critical it is to hear the voice of God.
[00:01:43]  Put some music on in your home.
[00:01:45]  Shift the atmosphere.
[00:01:46]  The devil hates to hear the worship.
[00:01:48]  He'll flee.
