I have made a previous post about how we are the direct replacement of Lucifer’s worship after his fall from Pride in heaven in which he is described as having a beautiful body made of instruments.
“Ezekiel 28:13 of the KJV and NKJV seems to hint that Satan was involved with music in Heaven. The NKJV says, “The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes was prepared for you on the day you were created,” although the exact meaning of this difficult Hebrew text is uncertain. There may have been such instruments in heaven, but there is no evidence outside this verse to verify it. Revelation 5:8 and Revelation 15:2 refer to harps, but not to timbrels or pipes.”

We embody the 3 major categories of instruments within us:
- Wind Instruments (Lungs)
- Stringed Instruments (Vocal Chords)
- Percussion (Clapping hands, beating chest, stomping feet)
But how can we confirm these are the methods The Lord God Almighty wants us to use in worshipping Him?
We are to worship him with our very lives doing the good works that he laid out for us to walk in before we were even Created by Christ Jesus – Ephesians 2:10
When we think of worship though, what comes to mind first is usually music.
The final Psalm, usually attributed to King David himself, is Psalm 150. In it the psalmist gives instructions for worshipping the Creator.
Where to Praise Him
We are told the location of which to worship him both in His Sanctuary and Firmament is referenced.
Sanctuary: A sanctuary is a place of safety or protection, or a place where someone feels safe and serene. The word can be used to describe a physical space or a feeling.
- a place of refuge or safety.
- a nature reserve.
Firmament: The sky and/or celestial barrier.
- The firmament is the curve of the sky, especially when imagined as a solid surface
- For example, you might describe the night sky as a firmament shining with stars
In the Bible, the firmament is mentioned in Genesis 1:14–18, where God created lights in the firmament to divide day from night
In ancient near eastern cosmology, the firmament was a celestial barrier that separated the heavenly waters from the Earth
Reason to Praise Him
Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness. – Psalm 150:2
How to Praise Him
Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery (lute) and harp. Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs. Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals. – Psalm 150:3-5
Who Should Praise Him
Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord. – Psalm 150:6
Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. – Luke 19:38-40
I hope this clarifies this topic for you and that you feel led to come boldly into His Gates with praise and thanksgiving!
