Course description

Can you hear the sound of heaven? To worship with instruments is about creating and releasing sound. Sounds that impacts heaven and earth, coming from the hearts of worshipers who long to be aligned with heaven to release God’s will on earth. 


This course is about worship and the prophetic on instruments and it is a part of the main course "Worship & prophetic drumming". Although the focus is on the drums as the main instrument in this course, all of this can be transferred on to other instruments and singing as well. That's why we have made this smaller pack which contains the theological topics only. You will therefore benefit a lot from this course even if you are not a drummer.  


This course contains 6 levels (or chapters) and through 26 video teachings and PDF’s you will be learning more about the prophetic dimension in worship and how you can release the sound of heaven and change atmospheres through your playing and singing. Do you want to know more about what Scripture says about instruments? Do you want to grow as a prophetic worshiper? Do you want to learn more about what worship in heaven looks like, the power of worship, the importance of the ethnic instruments and sounds and how worship, sound and science are connected? 


These and many other topics are covered in this course. It will take you through a journey into the prophetic, also exploring how the history of generations is affecting us today. The prophetic is not only about the future, it is also connected to the past (Ec. 3:15). The sound of old reverberates through time from the worship and prayers of our ancestors, and their actions are still affecting us today for good and bad. (Rev. 7:8) Digging up the old wells of revival and tearing down spiritual strongholds through the ministry of reconciliation is also an important part of our prophetic ministry as worshipers and disciples of Jesus as we will explore further.
