Album Back-Story
Why the name Prophet’s Call? In the book of Jeremiah, chapter 1 and verse 5, God told Jeremiah that He called him from the womb. He said, “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” Does this mean that God calls every person to a specific calling before they are even born?
We studied the Biblical prophets and found that they were leaders and advisors, many advising kings about wars and about things that they were doing that displeased God. Some prophets were not very popular.
The Prophet’s Call album is a call to worship, a call to acknowledge the gifts and calling that God has put within every person, and a call to take back the territory that has been lost. And it is a call to press in and keep pressing in until you are victorious.
The album cover is a profile of a face with a glow behind the mouth, indicating that God can call anyone – and seems to delight in calling those who don’t know much about what they are called to do – but it is His glory which empowers and speaks through us.
Why a Donkey?
We adopted the donkey image as a visual representation of Music for the Christian Warrior for an earlier album. Why a donkey? In the book of Numbers, chapter 22, God reprimands Balaam by allowing a donkey to speak to him prophetically because he ignored the warning of the prophet that God sent. We simply wanted to remind ourselves that, while God prefers to use His people, He can use any method He desires to get His message across. This was our semi-humorous way of remembering that it is God who gives us voice.
Holy, Holy Lord
There are several places in scripture where heaven is opened, such as the stoning of Stephen in the book of Acts, when Jesus was baptized, and others.
Holy, Holy Lord has its basis in Revelation 4 where John is taken to heaven in a vision and sees heaven opened. Just imagine the beautiful sounds as all of heaven worships God.
