All Skilful Some Prophesied W/ Harp

Moreover David and the captains of the army separated for the service some of the sons of Asaph, of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who <should> prophesy with harps, stringed instruments, and cymbals.

And the number of the skilled men performing their service was:

Of the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asharelah; the sons of Asaph were under the direction of Asaph, who prophesied according to the order of the king.

Of Jeduthun, the sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the direction of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with a harp to give thanks and to praise the Lord.

Of Heman, the sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, Romamti-Ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth.

All these were the sons of Heman the king’s seer in the words of God, to exalt his horn. For God gave Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.

All these were under the direction of their father for the music in the house of the Lord, with cymbals, stringed instruments, and harps, for the service of the house of God. Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman were under the authority of the king.

So the number of them, with their brethren who were instructed in the songs of the Lord, ALL WHO WERE SKILFUL, was two hundred and eighty-eight.

Pray/Sing w/the Spirit & w/ Understanding

Psalms Listed 1st to be Included in Gatherings

How is it then, brethren? Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.

God Used Music to Transform Saul

(5) After that you shall come to the hill of God where the Philistine garrison is. And it will happen, when you have come there to the city, that you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place with a stringed instrument, a tambourine, a flute, and a harp before them; and they will be prophesying.

(6) Then the Spirit of the Lord will come upon you, and you will prophesy with them and BE TURNED INTO ANOTHER MAN.

(7) And let it be, when these signs come to you, that you do as the occasion demands; for God is with you.

Distressing Spirit Driven Away w/Music

And so it was, whenever the spirit from God was upon Saul, that David would take a harp and play it with his hand. Then Saul would become refreshed and well, and the distressing spirit would depart from him.

Enemies Defeated with Praise

And when he (Jehoshaphat) had consulted with the people, he appointed those who should sing to the Lord, and who should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army and were saying:

“Praise the Lord, for His mercy endures forever.”

Now when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated.

When Musicians Were as One

"Indeed it came to pass, when the trumpeters and singers WERE AS ONE, TO MAKE ONE SOUND TO BE HEARD in praising and thanking the Lord, and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the Lord, saying:

“For He is good, for His mercy endures forever,”

That the house, the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud, so that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God."

Bring Me a Musician

"But now, bring me (the Prophet Elisha) a musician.”

Then it happened, WHEN THE MUSICIAN PLAYED, that the hand of the Lord came upon him. And he said, “Thus says the Lord..."

》Through "instrumental" music being played by an anointed musician, God laid His hand on the prophet Elisha and 2 gifts of the Spirit were distributed to meet the NEED at hand:

1. A Word of Knowledge (God's instructions for what they needed to do).

2. A Word of Prophesy (what God was going to do) which gave them complete victory in the battle facing them

Command to Teach & Admonish w/ Music

Let THE WORD OF CHRIST dwell in you RICHLY, IN ALL WISDOM, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and MAKING MELODY in your hearts to the Lord.

note Teaching and admonishing what?...The Word of Christ! Not some unique Gospel given to Paul.

Speak to One Another w/ Songs

(18) And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit,

(19) Speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,

(20) Giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

As One Who Plays Well

(30) As for you, son of man, the children of your people are talking about you beside the walls and in the doors of the houses; and they speak to one another, everyone saying to his brother, ‘Please come and hear what the word is that comes from the Lord.’

(31) So they come to you as people do, they sit before you as My people, and they hear your words, but they do not do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their hearts pursue their own gain.

(32) Indeed you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they do not do them.

(33) And when this comes to pass—surely it will come—then they will know that a prophet has been among them.”

Cheerful? Sing Psalms

Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms.

"Then He said to them, “These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.”

Prophetic Psalms

44. Then He said to them, “These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.”

45. And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures.

Last Thing w/all Together - Sang a Hymn

And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

Israel Provided for the Singers

Both the singers and the gatekeepers kept the charge of their God and the charge of the purification, according to the command of David and Solomon his son.

For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chiefs of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.

In the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah ALL ISRAEL GAVE THE PORTIONS FOR THE SINGERS and the gatekeepers, a portion for each day. They also consecrated holy things for the Levites, and the Levites consecrated them for the children of Aaron.

Gifts Make Room for You

He will stand before kings;
He will not stand before unknown men.

Play Skilfully for the Lord

“Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous!
For praise from the upright is beautiful.

Praise the Lord WITH THE HARP!
MAKE MELODY TO HIM WITH AN INSTRUMENT of ten strings!

Sing to Him a NEW SONG;
PLAY SKILFULLY with a shout of joy!”

Note: If I do not conquer this & continue, there will be no other reason other than that I allowed myself to be defeated by Satan. Lord please help me overcome!!!

No Part-Time Praise!

I will bless the Lord at all times;
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

Whoever Offers Praise Glorifies Me

Whoever offers praise glorifies Me;
And to him who orders his conduct aright
I will show the salvation of God.”

Harps Issued to Overcomers of the Beast

(2) And I saw something like a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who have the victory over the beast, over his image and over his mark and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God.

(3) They sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying:
“Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the saints!

The Plum Line

So he answered and said to me: “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel:

‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts. ‘Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! (MY DARK DAYS VISION) And he shall bring forth the capstone With shouts of “Grace, grace to it!” ’

"Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

“The hands of Zerubbabel Have laid the foundation of this temple; His hands shall also finish it. Then you will know That the Lord of hosts has sent Me to you.

For who has despised THE DAY OF SMALL THINGS?

FOR THESE SEVEN REJOICE TO SEE THE PLUMB LINE IN THE HANDS OF ZERUBBABEL. They are the eyes of the Lord , Which scan to and fro throughout the whole earth.”
