(1) Day and Night Worship - Our God is worthy of our continual worship and adoration. Our example is recorded in Revelation 4:8b, which speaks of the highest beings in heaven. The passage declares, “they rest not day and night, saying, ‘Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come.’ ” (King James Version 2000) As the mightiest beings in heaven never stop worshiping God yet see new and fresh dimensions of His glory with every breath, so should we walk in new revelations of His majesty and glory as we gaze upon Him day and night. “Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)

(2) Singing and Praying the Scripture - The Bible is the unchangeable, unshakable, true Word of God. No matter what a person’s doctrine or church background, the scripture brings all to the feet of Jesus. Declaring the truth of the Word of God releases His life into the atmosphere and proclaims the Kingdom of God to be established on the earth as it is in heaven. David sang many of his prayers that were recorded in the Psalms. Psalms 72:20 says, “The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.” The word “prayers” in this scripture comes from the Hebrew word “tephilah” which means singing prayers or hymns. We believe that as we sing the scripture, it goes deep into our spirits and the truth releases change in our hearts and in the atmosphere around us.

(3) Church Unity - In Psalms 133, God commands His blessing and life to those who dwell together in unity. We welcome people from different denominations and backgrounds to come together as one voice to lift up the name of Jesus. Our desire is that Romans 15:6 becomes a reality in the church today. This verse states, “That you may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” We encourage worship and prayer teams with people from different congregations to come together for one common purpose: to lift up the name of Jesus over the city, nation and nations of the earth.

(4) Harp and Bowl/Prophetic Worship and Intercession - In Revelation 5:8, we see the 24 elders and the living creatures before the throne with harps (representing singing and musical worship) and golden bowls of incense (representing the prayers of the saints). Thus the term Harp and Bowl. We blend our worship and prayers together, which adds a unique new dimension to a traditional prayer meeting. We desire to see prophetic worship and intercession arise, as God brings new revelation of Jesus. As John declares in Revelation 19:10, “the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy”. As we gaze on His beauty, He reveals Jesus to us, which in turn gives us prophetic revelation to sing and pray.

(5) Unity of Generations - Psalms 145:4 states, “One generation shall praise your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts.” Each generation is valuable and necessary in the Kingdom of God. We desire to provide an environment in which generations can impart truth and life to those who follow them. We also believe that the emerging generation will have a song and prayer that will light a fire in those who are their elders. Malachi speaks of the hearts of the fathers turning to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers. Now is the time for us to see this prophecy fulfilled. As the generations come together and worship as one, God knits hearts to unite His body and fulfill His purposes on the earth.

(6) Healing - The presence of God is where people are changed. In Exodus 34, Moses’ face radiated after being in the presence of the Lord. We are building an altar where His presence is continually welcome. We believe, even as Moses’ face manifested the glory of God, physical manifestations of healing and release will come to the bride simply by being in His presence and meeting with Him. His desire is that our hearts are His. (See Jeremiah 29:11-13) As we spend time with Him, we are changed and view life from His perspective rather than ours. This brings a deep trust in our hearts and allows faith and inner healing to deepen its work.

(7) Artistic Expression - There are many expressions of worship in the Psalms. God has given each person a unique way to declare His praises. We encourage genuine expressions of God-centered worship to be incorporated into our worship times. Some examples are singing, dancing, painting, sculpting, reading the Word, or praying over a particular city. “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!” (Psalms 150:6a)
