Messianic psalms are the portions of the book of psalms that have prophecies about Christ or veiled references to Him. Psalms 2 and 22 are expressly about Jesus. Psalm 110 where we have our text is also messianic. It foretells the second coming of Christ. The one referenced earlier dealt with His ordeals before death and His triumphant resurrection. It is worthy of note that David who wrote many messianic psalms and saw much into the future life of Christ was a man given to worship. In recent times, we learned that worship meets the need of God. What we are seeing today is that it is not only God that benefits from worship, the worshipper also gets blessed by having access into the spirit realm. Worship transports us to the realm of the spirit.
“Worship transports us to the realm of the spirit…He who wants to know the mind of the Lord should cultivate the art of worship.”
There is a close link between worship and the spirit of prophecy. Elisha was consulted by three kings for a word of the Lord concerning a battle. After initial reluctance, he primed the atmosphere by asking for a minstrel. “But now bring me a musician.” Then it happened, when the musician played, that the hand of the Lord came upon him. And he said, “Thus says the Lord: ‘Make this valley full of ditches.’ For thus says the Lord: ‘You shall not see wind, nor shall you see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, so that you, your cattle, and your animals may drink.’ And this is a simple matter in the sight of the Lord; He will also deliver the Moabites into your hand. Also you shall attack every fortified city and every choice city, and shall cut down every good tree, and stop up every spring of water, and ruin every good piece of land with stones.”” (II Kings 3:15-19 NKJV). He who wants to know the mind of the Lord should cultivate the art of worship.
