Supernatural Worship?

Mark (woken up @ 2am):
Not again .... interrupted Zzzz .....
Is you (God)? The devil? Or just toilet time?

Prayed, rebuked the devil as precaution then went to toilet ... came back and prepared to Zzz. BUT just couldn't Zzzz. Prayed for wisdom and submitted to the prompting of the Holy Spirit.

In time ... my fingers started to mimic the actions of playing a music instrument like the keyboard or piano. Left fingers moved to a rhythm ... right fingers moved to a rhythm, then both in synchronization to some sort of musical score (cords, notes etc) .... At first, I thought it was the devil provoking me ... but there was no fear and I felt the peace of God in me ..... a certain joy and excitement stirred within me. Although unsure of why this was happening, I enjoyed it and was in total control. I had the authority to stop the movements any time I wished. Each time I submitted to the Holy Spirit, the movements would continue. If I wanted it to stop, it would. Simply amazing!

Mark:
What is all this about God?

God:
Worship .... keyboard.

Mark:
Ermmm ... Are you sure? Impossible! I dunno how to play the keyboard ..... very tired too ...
The more excuses I gave, the more I couldn't sleep.

Wendy was awoken and I shared with her my experience without telling her God's prompting for me to play the keyboard. She prayed over me and God lead her to give me the word "Receive". Then i knew it was confirmation and I knew I had to obey his prompting.

@3:20 am
Only being human, I decided start off with the grand piano tone ... expecting some magnificent tune to be played. But somehow I knew it just wasn't the right tone ...... with eyes closed and focusing on submitting to the Holy Spirit's leading, I slowly played a very simple, solemn tune to the Harp Tone. Initially I was disappointed that the tune (chords, notes) sounded so simple but was soon amazed that the tune had emotions. There were highs and lows to it in the sense that I felt joy, fear, sorrow with each different combination of chords and notes being played.

I had a quick vision of someone who I just knew was King David. I was on high ground with him, looking across his shoulder, glancing down at a plain which was entirely occupied by a huge moving mass of some sort. From this distance, I couldn't confirm what it was but knew it was like an army of men. Being on high ground I could only make out their heads. This huge dark mass of men was separated vertically by a small white group of men. (i.e 1/3 dark men, a vertically separating group white men, 2/3 dark men). All 3 groups were tightly packed next to each other and were moving in unison towards a certain destination. There was no battle taking place .... just a huge migration of some sort.

The tune ended .... and God lead me to Psalm 49. Nothing much about Psalm 49 I thought until I read verse 4:
(NIV)
4 I will turn my ear to a proverb;
with the harp I will expound my riddle:
(KJV)
4I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
(NLT)
4 I listen carefully to many proverbs
and solve riddles with inspiration from a harp.

Was I actually playing a tune with the Harp tone to Psalms 49? Many thoughts raced through my mind ... I was tired and really needed to Zzzz ..... will expound on all this tomorrow I told God.

I then decided to listen to some songs to fall asleep to.
Playlist:
All the heavens - Hillsongs
Glory in the highest - Chris Tomlin

Amazingly, while quietly praising along with each song on my ipod, my fingers started to move rapidly. Although tired, I submitted to the Holy Spirit and knew my time with him had not ended. I somehow knew that for both songs, the Holy Spirit was guiding me to play the notes of the guitar, the drums, the keyboard of each song ... ALL AT THE SAME TIME! My fingers were moving very rapidly but somehow I knew not a single beat or note was missed. I felt as if I was in possession a divine angelic instrument that allowed me to become a one-man worship team. And in that time of quick worship, I sensed the presence of Angels with me too .... words can't describe the feeling but it was amazingly powerful. Is this one way that we worship in heaven? Amazing! After the song, I prayed and Zzzzzed till the clock rang at 7am.

This morning, I was prompted to recall a verse I saw in a video:
Romans 6:13
13Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness.

Psalm 49 .... Romans 6:13 .... very tired now .... will expound on them later God.
Nitez! Or rather Good afternoon!
