Release the Sound — A Podcast on Prophetic Worship

Ep. 11 My Encounters With Jesus In Worship

The first time I ever encountered Jesus was in worship. 
 
In this episode, I share 3 pivotal encounters I have had with the Lord that have impacted me profoundly.
 
I don’t normally share such personal stories, but I felt a strong prompt from the Lord to unpack these stories with you.
   
I share a time I was leading Indescribable by Chris Tomlin and receiving an internal vision of being in the throne room that has greatly impacted me...
 
Another time I was leading Rain Down by Martin Smith when a physical manifestation took place that was completely unexpected and created a course correction in my ministry….
 
Most importantly, I hope it inspires you to hunger after his presence so that he can meet you in ways that will not only bless you but also transform you! We want to encounter God, but he also wants to encounter us!

Key Quotes: 
 
“Spontaneous worship is definitely prophetic, but prophetic worship doesn't have to be spontaneous – It can transcend the spontaneous.” - Roma Waterman
 
“What are you seeing? What are you sensing? What are you hearing? Ask yourself these questions because being self-aware as you are being God aware is really powerful.” - Roma Waterman  
 
“I think that we have developed this culture where we think if something's wrong if people have disagreements. That's not the case at all, you can actually disagree and still have unity and the only way that you can is when your relationship becomes primary.” - Roma Waterman 
 
“Just take the risks! Step up and step out because in this hour it is so important that we do this. I feel this urgency in my spirit, that the Lord wants us to be brave and release a new sound across the earth.” - Roma Waterman

Ep. 09 My Raw Process – 3 Ways To Sing The Prophetic Song

In this episode of Release the Sound – A Podcast on Prophetic Worship, I show you my raw process of stepping into a prophetic flow to sing spontaneously.

“Sometimes that scripture that's been weighing on our heart, that's been with us for the whole week, is not simply just for us. Sometimes that’s the Lord saying, ‘Hey, there’s something that needs to be sung out here.’” - Roma Waterman  
 
“We all have our reasons for not releasing [a song], but in the end, I just feel this urgency that the Lord is saying, ‘My voice needs to resound amongst the nations.’ So sometimes you just have to step out in authenticity and vulnerability and get the Word out.” - Roma Waterman

Ep. 08 Turning Spontaneous Moments Into Structured Songs + 10 Tips

There are so many ways that God gives us Heaven’s song, yet I often feel that too many creative people who love the prophetic truly never refine this as part of their gift. In this episode of Release the Sound – A Podcast on Prophetic Worship, I discuss how I think about turning spontaneous moments into structured songs. I'll discuss what it means to write spontaneously, why it's crucial to have songs written this way, the traits that are frequently present in this style of writing, as well as 10 tips on how you can do this. 
 
What we discuss: 
[01:28] Writing Spontaneously – The Story Behind ‘Footsteps of my Father’[04:04] Why Turn Spontaneous Moments Into Structured Songs? 
[05:45] Characteristics of a Spontaneous Writing Style 
[06:54] The Process of Writing Footsteps of My Father 
[13:06] 10 Ideas to Help You Develop a Song from a Spontaneous Moment
Key Quotes: 
 
“Spontaneous moments can be direct downloads from Heaven and combining that download with the craft of songwriting is a powerful combination.” - Roma Waterman 
 
“I often feel that too many creative people who love the prophetic truly never refine this as part of their gift.” - Roma Waterman 
 
“This is how we mature in the prophetic. Sometimes things that I thought stood out to me when I was singing it, is not the highlight when I listen back. So you hear and see things from a different perspective as a listener than you would as a presenter. That’s why you should listen to everything.” - Roma Waterman 
 
“Many times as we worship we're simply just hearing what is being sung in Heaven. And we join that as we sing it. This is so powerful because as a worshiper, you're releasing the spiritual dimension into the natural dimension.” - Roma Waterman 
 
“I always try to keep this as my goal; It's about the secret place first, before it's for the marketplace.” - Roma Waterman

Key Quotes: 
“When we're not having a conversation with God what happens is we end up talking at Him and we don't want that. We want our worship times of worship to be a dialogue, not a monologue.” - Roma Waterman  
 
“God wants to reveal Himself to us and how we partner with Him is up to us.” - Roma Waterman

“Worship is a dance of divine communication between you, your congregation, and the Lord.” - Roma Waterman
 
“We don't have to feel that just because we are leaders, we must have all the answers. It doesn't mean you're not a strong leader. You can still lead well even though you may not know what to do next in a service.” - Roma Waterman

Ep. 03 FOUR QUICK WINS For Growing In Prophetic Worship

Have you ever wondered how you grow you and your team in the prophetic? In this episode of Release the Sound – A Podcast on Prophetic Worship, we get practical with four tips you can implement right now, to grow in prophetic worship. We also walk the walk with a spontaneous song to show you a clear example of what it can look like to move in the prophetic. This episode dives into why you should keep your setlist minimal, how to make time to practice the prophetic other than on a Sunday service, singing the scriptures, and not being afraid of allowing space for the Holy Spirit to move. 
 
What we discuss: 
[01:46] Fill Up Your Worship Sets With Fewer Songs
[06:03] Make Time Other Than a Service to Practice the Prophetic
[11:37] Sing the Scriptures 
[21:12] Savour the silence
 
Key Quotes: 
 
“You have to go deeper within yourself to draw on the prophetic that is within you.” - Roma Waterman
 
“Don't be afraid of the silence. If you leave that gap, it will be filled by Him and it will be filled by His presence.” - Roma Waterman 
 
“Practice the prophetic. You might be thinking, ‘That makes no sense,’ but it is a skill like anything else – Learning to hear the voice of the Father in your own style, and your own way, and then learning to release that is so important.” - Roma Waterman 
 
“Prophetic worship is not necessarily about predicting the future. It's about understanding the moment –  What is the Lord actually saying in the moment? Is He wanting to encourage people? Is He wanting you to sing against a spirit of suicide? What is He wanting you to sing over people? You're carrying a message for the moment.” - Roma Waterman
