Bring Me A Minstrel

By Apostle John Eckhardt, www.johneckhardtministries.com

Elisha called for a minstrel (musician). When the minstrel played the hand of the Lord came upon him and he began to prophesy.

2 Kings 3:15 But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the Lord came upon him. David was both a prophet and a minstrel. His musical ability helped him to flow and sing prophetically.

1 Samuel 16:22-23 And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; for he hath found favour in my sight. And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.

1 Samuel 16:23 And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.

David prophesied upon the harp. Musicians create an atmosphere for the prophetic to flow and flourish. Musicians that are filled with the Holy Spirit are important to prophetic churches and ministries.

Prophets were often musical. Prophets were worshippers.

1 Samuel 10:5 After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Philistines: and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they shall prophesy:

David made the instruments for the Levites to praise and worship the LORD.

2 Chronicles 7:6 And the priests waited on their offices: the Levites also with instruments of musick of the Lord, which David the king had made to praise the Lord, because his mercy endureth forever, when David praised by their ministry; and the priests sounded trumpets before them, and all Israel stood.

Pastors and leaders should make sure the musicians have good instruments to praise and worship the LORD. We need PROPHETIC LEADERS like David to provide INSTRUMENTS and MINSTRELS to facilitate the PROPHETIC FLOW
