The utterance or song of the Lord

Notice when He roars, sings or utters His voice, things happen in the physical realm. The heavens and earth shake, while at the same time a shelter or covering is created for his people and fortifies them.

When the Lord roars from Zion and utters His voice, or sings from Jerusalem, the pastures of the shepherds mourn (is not the dead, lukewarm, compromising and hypocritical church the pasture of the shepherds?) It also says the top of Carmel withers. Carmel means fruitful field. The old used to be the fruitful field. So, when God sings, the fruitful field will wither, or prosperity will be dried up from the churches as the end of the systems draws near. He rebukes through His utterances and brings judgment. At the same time He can revitalize life as he sings and cause new and wonderful things to happen.

Through His utterance, or song, the power of the creativity of wisdom established the world and heavens.

In other words, He creates through truth (the living waters) that is revealed through the songs that He sings. This flow falls over the earth as the wisdom that the Spirit prophesies, utters or sings through the Bride. Wisdom in this way, utters her voice through the Bride in the streets where the dead church is.

But after the breath of God through the prophetic song enters them, they live!

This is in fulfillment of Ezekiel 37:3.

So as God prophesies or sings over his people, they have life breathed into them. Much of the church today is like Adam at creation. A body, but there is no spiritual life. Intellect replaced wisdom and the church of Sardis came about. God's precious people were left as dead on the streets.

Who is the Israel God is referring to here? Let's read Galatians 3:26-29.

We, that are properly born again, are Israel, the new generation of Israel that is the fulfillment of Psalm 102:18.

Notice the words "may praise". Now let us look back at this word "utterance" or "utter". The word translated in all the above scriptures as utter, is 5414 in the Strongs. It means to make - to give, appoint, be healed, deliver, distribute, grant, pour forth, recompense, restore, sing, strike, thrust, shoot forth, etc.

So when God utters His voice, all the above happens! He sings and His people are healed, delivered and restored. Also through song, He not only brings restoration to His people, but defeat is dealt to His enemies. His song, based on the definition above, strikes - thrusts and shoots forth truth that will crumble all that displeases Him. As He prophesies through song, the plan of the powers and principalities are destroyed. We see Deborah singing this type of prophesy at Judges 5:12-13

The word "utter" is used in the old King James version, and sing is used in the Spirit Filled New King James in this scripture. They are interchangeable. The number of the word utter or sing in this portion is Hebrew number 1697 from 1696. I will print it out for your convenience, because the definitions are really neat. I've underlined a few I really like.

Did you know that when God prophesies through song it becomes a spiritual law? Actually, all things are already obedient to God's song except man. Why? Because man has his own will. From the very beginning Eve listened to Lucifer sing his song of deception and guess what? Many are listening to the same old song today! Remember, songs create - for good or for evil. It's law!

Moses is obedient to God's request.

As we have sung Satan's songs and obeyed his law in the past, our lives and families have been shaped by him. Even our lifespan has been shortened, for he came to kill, steal and destroy. We should be so thankful for the song of the Lord, because as God sings, speaks and acts out prophecy, all is changed for the better. He is restoring what Satan has ruined by creating a new heaven and a new earth through song. It's law! And as we read in Deuteronomy 32:46-47, set your hearts today on the words of God's song and command your children to observe them, we must do the same. We should listen to today's song of the Lord, they are life and our days will be prolonged.

How does God sing today? At Hebrews 2:12 Jesus says:

He is a spirit and uses vessels to sing through. The song of God is known as the Song of the Lord or a prophetic song. These songs reveal God's plans and purposes to His people, both in the local church and universally. In fact, the prophetic or spiritual song literally means "ode of the Spirit". There are six types of spiritual songs.

It has the same purpose as spoken prophecy — edification, exhortation and comfort. It can also be instructional. Failure to respond, even if the direction is as simple as "raise your hands", is direct disobedience to the word of the Lord. Remember, God's song is law, and if we don't listen and obey we will not receive the intended benefits or results God desired for us. We would also be in danger of not letting the law operate in our lives. Besides,would we not be as the lawless? God wants His people to be in one accord so that He may give a direction to the body that causes us, at least for the moment, to be acting as the body of Christ. As His body, we can exercise His authority to defeat the enemy, call in the remnant and through his anointing sing His kingdom into being. The whole body must be engaged for this to be accomplished however. One or two that refuse to respond to God's song can cause disunity and defeat what God has assigned us to do. All stood quietly at the Red Sea, all marched obediently and quietly around Jericho. They saw victory through their unity.

When we praise and worship the Father, the Christ in us praises also. He may sing out prophetically revealing the glorious attributes of the Creator or share the Father's ideas and plans that were performed before the foundation of the earth. As the Spirit of Jesus sings, the deeds that were accomplished long before time itself, or even before the earth was formed, may actually manifest into being for our benefit! Through the Old Testament prophets the reality of a savior, the messiah, was sung into being and Christianity was birthed. As He sings through today's prophets, the church triumphant and eternal is being birthed, and a generation of people geared for immortality are about to appear. All of this is possible as some obedient vessel allows Jesus to sing through them, to thank the Father for what He has already done. God sings it into being through us.

The song of the bridegroom is simply a song of love from Jesus to His bride. Many times it is answered back by the bride. It is characteristically demonstrated in a back and forth response and its main topic is love. In other words, the bridegroom sings to us and we sing back our love for Him.

The song of the bride or the voice of the bride is a spontaneous prophetic song of love and adoration in response to the song of the Bridegroom. This response is mostly corporate in nature. There are times that the person leading the praise will encourage the body to sing a new song, or a song in their prayer language. This type of singing is interesting as many times your prayer language will change and sound like an ancient language of some kind, and guess what, it probably is! The factor that stands out is, that many times, as the song of the bride goes forth, there is a very strong emotion that wells up within you of absolute love for God. You may even find yourself weeping or have the unction to kneel before Him. Be obedient and receive all that God wants you to have, be it deliverance, healing, or a stronger anointing, whatever. Above all I just listed, the most wonderful is to feel the Spirit of God wrap His love around you with such a tenderness and strength that it is beyond description.

In Psalms 32 we see King David singing that he needed protection and deliverance as we read verse 7. In the next verse we see God's answer back to him.

The song of deliverance is a prophetic song of healing, deliverance, restoration, etc. It is much like the gift of word of knowledge being sung to reveal a situation, condition, or need that the Lord wishes to heal or deliver His children from. Its purpose is to release healings and miracles into otherwise impossible situations. His power and anointing are present when the song goes forth to manifest victory.

The prophetic word, whether sung or spoken, is a weapon of war against God's enemies in the heavenlies and those on earth as well that threaten His people. When we are personally prophesied to for instance, we can use that prophecy to war with and defeat the enemy in our life as we see in I Timothy 1:18.

We are also at a time in church history where we will with violence prophesy to the powers, principalities and rulers of darkness to fulfill God's plans for His people and this world. We must allow God to speak and sing their destruction through us.

Many times as these warfare prophecies are being sung by God, the body responds back. For example, God may say, "I will smite you with My Sword" and the warriors respond by slicing at the enemy with an imaginary sword. this may seem silly to bystanders that are not into the praise or don't understand spiritual warfare, but the enemy gets the message! Remember, Judgment has already been decreed and written. Now it is the duty of God's army to execute these judgments against the enemies of God. Make it happen!

It is God's purpose for His warriors to rise up and prophetically sing defeat and destruction to the evil hosts of hell. They are to command the release of the children of God and the things owned by His Kingdom. The warriors that are being raised up to possess the land through their prophetic song, are His ultimate end time weapon of war. They are His army of prophetic praisers.

There is a song of Sion that says: "The Sion Warrior is coming through, Move over Antichrist, we're coming after you!" Joel said in the above scripture, "Strong is the one who executes His word." These strong ones are God's prophetic praisers singing His utterances as He roars from Sion. Join with them and:
