Use of Hymns


Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

Sometimes I will awaken with a hymn called to my attention.  When this happens, I reach for my Kindle device which is beside my bed and pull up that hymn and let it play as I follow the words of the verses.

(see:  hymnal.net)

I use this web site frequently for hymns that are called to my mind.  I can hear that hymn playing on piano and can follow each verse which is printed out on the web page.

Also I know it is God calling this specific hymn to my mind by the Holy Spirit in the same way God will cause the Holy Spirit to remind me of a scripture.

When such happens, I know this exact hymn will do a work of God in me at that exact moment.  Therefore I am careful to follow each verse, allowing the hymn to work through my being.


Work of the Holy Spirit:  (Jesus says)

John 14:26    But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in My name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

John 16:13    Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 



*****

Ephesians 5:19-20    Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
