Music Epiphany Fortifi@ Radio Broadcast #10 Music Epiphany
Phil Bingham
January 6th marked Music Epiphany. On January 6th, the gravity of music perception was heightened. On Epiphany, we are looking forward to the “day” of revelation. Emmanuel God - amongst us in the Music Neighborhood.
Malachi 3:2 (New King James Version) 2 “ But who can endure the day of His coming?
In 2008, we are looking forward to a music revelation that will meet the needs of this New Year’s challenges. Regrettably, the 2007 music sounds are inadequate to meet the 2008 challenges. The yearning for a new music solution helps us look forward to new music revelation. Music Epiphany is the “day” time when we look forward to new music revelation.
Jesus has made an appearance amongst the aggregate of musicians in the nations. Christ appearance in the Music neighborhood is not just the Nativity. Christ appearance is magnified by the Music Magi.
The Music Magi recognize the gift of God by the wrapping. 2008 will be a new opportunity to rewrap the music gift that God has given you. You will recognize the new gift of God by the musician that is wrapped in swaddling clothes. Swaddling clothes "Holiness" thus denotes the absoluteness, majesty, and awesomeness of God-the-Creator. The Gift of this season (Jesus) was wrapped up in a package of swaddling clothes. Swaddling is an age-old practice of wrapping infants snugly in swaddling cloths, blankets or similar cloth so that movement of the limbs is tightly restricted. The swaddling clothes omission (Ezek 16.4) would be a token that the child had been abandoned. Luke2:12 And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.” There is a connection between the "child wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger" with the body of Jesus "wrapped in a linen cloth and laid in a rock hewn tomb" (Luke 23, 53).
There will be a new facet of Emmanuel’s’ Song of the Lord that will be introduced and emphasized on earth. God- Emmanuel dwells with the music family! The new gift of the Lord will move the music ministry from the focus on their music gift. In pre 2007 the music ministry learned the music acts of God. We now know that God can work in the Praise team and praise dance ministry. The new emphasis will focus on musicians becoming mature sons of God. In, 2008, the music ministry will know the music ways of God.
In the pre 2007 former season (1960-2000) musicians have had access to the new music gifts. The church was introduced to the:
i. User-friendly music, market sensitive churches. ministries of motivational music
Mature music leadership will emerge in the coming season. God’s nature is the new gift that will emerge in the new season. This is a shift from the narcissism of leadership to the maturity of responsible sons of God. Music Character, not merely music style, will become the focus of the current season. Being empowered by the spirit as sent ones has accompanied and balanced the ministry of gifts. In 2008 you will need direct access to God nature to compose music for the healing of the nations. |
