Prophetic Worship Versus Traditional Worship (Vivien Hibbert) Traditional Worship -The worship leader is in control. Prophetic Worship- The worship leader leads, but is also a door keeper and facilitator. The Holy Spirit is primarily the worship leader—the one directing and in control of the service. (Vivien Hibbert). Traditional Worship -There are definite time limits on the worship service. Prophetic Worship- No time limits. Worship takes as long as the Holy Spirit directs. Traditional Worship- The songs/hymns are regarded as being less important in the overall service than the preaching of the word. Prophetic Worship- The songs/hymns and whole worship time are regarded as having equal importance with the preaching. Traditional Worship- There is an emphasis on the music. Music and all art forms are used for performance, entertainment and accompaniment. There is art for art’s sake. Any art forms used in worship such as music are an end unto themselves. Success is measured by excellence in the art form. Prophetic Worship- There is an emphasis on the manifest presence of God. Music and all art forms are for ministry to God and His people. The goal is the glory of God. All art forms must be ministered in a prophetic sense. They are a means to an end. Success is measured by the presence of God and His work in our lives Traditional Worship- There is little or no expectation of hearing Gods voice today in the worship service. The majority of the direction of our spiritual communication is from man to God. Prophetic Worship- The hearing of Gods voice for today is one of the primary objectives of prophetic worship. There is openness for two-way or reciprocal communication with God, i.e. man to God and God to man. Traditional Worship- Our worship may be determined and greatly influenced by our culture. Prophetic Worship- Our nation of birth and/or residence is not our focus. We belong to a new nation—the Kingdom of God, where the standard for appropriate worship is determined by the King. Worship is made suitable for the King and not necessarily the culture. #prophets
