about Harp & Bowl Intercession Ministries - HBI
Harp and Bowl Intercession (HBI) is an event that features worship and intercession as revealed by the scriptures, in Revelation 5:8-9.“And when he took the scroll, the four living beings and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp, and they held gold bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of God’s people.9And they sang a new song with these words, “You are worthy to take the scroll and break its seals and open it. For you were slaughtered, and your blood has ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation.”
It is a revelation of the order of worship now revealed to us according to the pattern shadowed by the temple and tabernacles of the Old Testament. “Worship In Spirit & Truth”
Psalms 141:2 “Accept my prayer as incense offered to you, and my upraised hands as an evening offering.”
Exodus 30:8 “And each evening when he lights the lamps, he must again burn incense in the LORD’s presence. This must be done from generation to generation.”
I Chronicles 15 & 16 “David also ordered the Levite leaders to appoint a choir of Levites who were singers and musicians to sing joyful songs to the accompaniment of harps, lyres, and cymbals.”
Zachariah 3:7 “This is what the LORD of Heaven’s Armies says: If you follow my ways and carefully serve me, then you will be given authority over my Temple and its courtyards. I will let you walk among these others standing here.”
It is simply the order of worship without the veil as instructed by Christ Jesus and modelled by the tabernacle of David. It is an event that creates the reality of the heavenly realm of Glory here on earth; which there would be no need of teaching or preaching but everyone will experience God according to the New Covenant He has established through Jesus Christ.
Hebrews 8:10-12 “But this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel on that day, says the LORD:I will put my laws in their minds, and I will write them on their hearts.I will be their God, and they will be my people. And they will not need to teach their neighbors, nor will they need to teach their relatives, saying, ‘You should know the LORD.’For everyone, from the least to the greatest, will know me already.” And I will forgive their wickedness, and I will never again remember their sins.” Jeremiah 31:12-13 & 33-34
It is the Revelation of the Father and Jesus as the Temple in which we worship in the heavenly place (Zion).
