Track 6: Prophecy
Description
“Prophecy” delves into our need for clear direction from God in chaotic times. Reflecting on verses like 1 Corinthians 14:1–3 and Amos 3:7, the lyrics present a Holy Spirit who reveals the Father’s heart to edify, exhort, and comfort the Church. By invoking Jehovah Rohi (“The Lord My Shepherd”), this track reminds us that prophecy is ultimately about divine guidance—leading us beside still waters and restoring our souls.
The musical arrangement balances a meditative verse structure with a stirring chorus that soars. The verses illustrate a world brimming with confusion and conflicting voices; we cry out for the Shepherd to speak words that cut through the noise. Then the chorus erupts in recognition of God’s voice: personal, loving, and transformative. We also repent for times we’ve neglected or resisted genuine prophetic counsel, choosing our own paths instead.
In the bridge, the song expands into an intercessory plea for the global Body of Christ—asking that the Spirit would breathe fresh prophetic insight into believers, pastors, and worshipers across denominations. Rather than seeking prophecy for sensationalism, the emphasis is on strengthening and unifying the Church in God’s will.
Ultimately, “Prophecy” serves as a melodic reminder that our Shepherd longs to guide His flock, speaking through those He’s called and gifted. When embraced with humility and discernment, prophecy becomes a lifeline, directing us back to Jesus, who is the Word made flesh.

Key Scriptures:
1 Corinthians 12:10, 1 Corinthians 14:1–3, Amos 3:7
Hebrew Name of God:
Jehovah Rohi (“The Lord My Shepherd,” Psalm 23:1)
Devotion
Prophecy is a vital gift that builds up, encourages, and comforts the Body of Christ (1 Corinthians 14:3). While many envision prophecy solely as predicting future events, its biblical function is broader: to reveal God’s heart and perspective in real-time situations. Amos 3:7 states that the Lord does nothing without revealing His plan to His servants the prophets, underscoring God’s desire to guide His people rather than leave them in the dark.
Jehovah Rohi, “The Lord My Shepherd,” captures the essence of prophecy as divine guidance. A shepherd leads, protects, and provides for the sheep. Similarly, prophetic words can bring direction to individuals, churches, and even nations. We see this in Scripture—from Nathan confronting King David (2 Samuel 12) to Agabus warning of a coming famine (Acts 11:28). These examples demonstrate how prophecy can bring conviction, preparation, or comfort.
However, prophecy must be weighed (1 Corinthians 14:29). The Holy Spirit never contradicts the written Word of God. Humility is crucial: Paul instructs believers to “eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy” (1 Corinthians 14:1), yet we’re also to avoid pride or confusion. A genuine word from God leads to unity and builds up the Church rather than sowing division or elevating an individual’s agenda.
If you sense a prophetic stirring, first test it against Scripture and the counsel of mature believers. God is not the author of confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33). When delivered in love, prophecy draws people closer to Jesus, the Good Shepherd, who laid down His life for the flock. This gift is not about self-exaltation; it’s about lovingly sharing what the Shepherd speaks to guide His sheep.
Reflection/Prayer:
- Ask Jehovah Rohi to lead you in hearing His voice clearly. Are you open to receiving and sharing prophetic insight?
- Pray for discernment and boldness to speak forth what God places on your heart, always measuring it by the plumb line of Scripture.
- Intercede for the Church to embrace and steward the prophetic with humility and love, bringing edification rather than confusion.
