It is essential that we know the theology behind the Harp & Bowl style of prayer. We must be preparing our lifestyle for not only
what God is currently doing, but for what God will be doing in the future. This teaching will help us learn more about the model
of the Tabernacle of David and how better to explain it to others.
1. The Tabernacle Of David Is Our Model For Prophetic Singing Prayer Isaiah 16:5 – “In mercy the throne will be
established; and One will sit on it in truth, in the tabernacle of David, judging and seeking justice and hastening
righteousness.”
Amos 9:11 – “On that day I will raise up The tabernacle of David, which has fallen down, and repair its damages; I will
raise up its ruins, and rebuild it as in the days of old.”

prophetically and exercises His authority.

and all your strength." (Mark 12:30).
