Each prophetic worship instrument the Holy Spirit designs is consecrated and anointed to the LORD God for worship. Although not exhaustive, the following list of worship instruments provides the prophetic symbolism in relationship to worship of ADONAI. Each instrument may be used in praise, prayer, intercession, worship, prophetic movement and dance as the Holy Spirit leads.
