Warfare
I know you’ve been in worship services and noticed the way the minister flows in the spirit of songs, and releases some powerful aura in the atmosphere. The key of achieving this is to continue the flow.
Flow out of one song, and keep it fluid right into the next song, because you don’t want to interrupt the flow. You definitely don’t want to interrupt the spirit. You never know who may be praying at that time; you never know who may be getting healed. So if you stop the music, you can interrupt somebody or people, or you can interrupt their flow. You are a minister of music before the Lord and you are responsible for this. You have to understand that you have a duty to bring the presence of God down with your music, and direct the people into worship of Him. Let His healing power flow and meet the needs of the people.
I am of the opinion that the most important part of a service is the praise and worship section. Why?
That is because it is the part of the service where reverence is given to the Lord. That part of service is directed to Him. The other parts of the service like the preaching and admonishing is from God’s heart to man. So it is directed towards man’s benefit. See that?
What I mean by warfare in this context is prophetic music. That part of the ministration where you chant, or voice out worship that are not usually in a song, but straight from your heart [truthfully] to your lips, is what I would call prophetic music.
Let’s say you are rounding up on a song that the minister was singing; rather than ending abruptly, you enter into the flow of prophetic playing. There are certain progressions that trigger this kind of worship, and I would list the major ones here.
* The first is your 4 – 5 – 6 progression. We are in the key of C.

That is just a simple movement to which you can add your chords to, but put this in mind, the idea of prophetic movement is to make it simple and anointed, not complex.
No! Tri-tones would not be decent here if you are asking that. Those chords will be too “phat” for this.
* The next progression you can use will be your 6 – 5 – 4 / 6 – 3 – 4. I’m on the key of F#.

Simple and powerful! You just keep moving up and down with these.
The movements in warfare music are not fast in any way. They are either slow or mid tempo progression movements, so be careful not to rush them. Basically, you maintain the tempo of the song you are exiting from, or bring the tempo down a few beats, not too much.
This movement will be more appreciated with the strings sound on the keyboard. You hold the notes down, and move through them as if a violinist was playing them. You don’t use the strings sound as you would use a piano sound. Keep that in mind.
It is a powerful tool when you know how and when to apply it. Use it to take your praise and worship session to another level. You would be shocked at the effect it has, even on you the musician.
