The Lord went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way (Ex. 13:21, NIV).

During the exodus of the people of Israel, God guided them on their path. The people of Israel did not go in the direction that they wanted; they followed the way that God marked out for them with the cloud.

The Scriptures reveal that this cloud was not something, but rather someone... "Where is the one who brought Israel through the sea, with Moses as their shepherd? Where is the one who sent his Holy Spirit to be among his people? ...As with cattle going down into a peaceful valley, the Spirit of the Lord gave them rest. You led your people, Lord (Is. 63:11-14, NLT).

By saying, "who sent his Holy Spirit to be among his people" and "the Spirit of the Lord gave them rest. You led your people, Lord..." Isaiah points that the cloud was a representation, or a symbol of the Holy Spirit.

Can the Holy Spirit direct us in leading corporate worship? Of course, not only He can but He desires to. Those who want to transition into leading prophetic corporate worship have to discern where the cloud is going and follow it...

Very often, our slavery to programs obstructs us from seeing what the Holy Spirit desires to do (programs and structures are necessary, but they must be subject to us, not the other way around).

As ministers, we must pay close attention to God"s leading, before and during the service. He is not predictable as we are. The way the Lord leads could be different every time. The path is not the same from one day to the next, and the direction that worked yesterday may not be the one that works today. (When using the word "Way" or "Path" I"m referring to a specific direction given by the Holy Spirit, before or during the service).

Moving With the Cloud

The people of Israel moved when the cloud moved. When it rested in a place, they rested until it moved again.

"When the cloud lifted from over the sacred tent, the people of Israel followed it. And wherever the cloud settled, the people of Israel camped. In this way, they traveled at the Lord"s command and stopped wherever he told them to" (Num. 9:17- 18, NLT. See also Ex. 40:36-37)."

Israel had to daily observe the cloud. They were in the desert and did not know the way. They depended on the cloud to keep them from getting lost or taking the wrong turn. The book of Numbers declares: "they traveled at the Lord"s command." The cloud revealed when to move, in what direction, and when to stop.

When leading corporate worship, sensitivity to the Holy Spirit it"s key. He knows what the congregation needs... If we make room for Him, He will give us new songs, words and heavenly melodies that will change the atmosphere and renew the strength of His people.
