Here's an excerpt from an email I received from pastor Benny Hinn's email newsletter sometime ago. I believe you will find this very helpful.
The anointing is the overflow of Christ in your life!
It comes to us as we spend time in God’s Word, seek Him with our whole heart, and worship Him. Jesus said:
“If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you” (John 15:7).
We increase the anointing by spending time in His presence. And you will certainly know when the presence of the Holy Spirit has come upon your life.

6 Benefits of Prophetic Praise and Worship
Here's an article I stumbled into online and I found it insightful and very helpful on the subject of prophetic praise and worship.
Do you want to hear God’s purposes for your life and ministry, or receive a fresh infilling of His Spirit? Do you desire to encounter God and know Him more?
Prophetic worship is one way that you can have a face-to-face meeting with God—or provide a means for others to encounter Him. ‘Prophetic praise and worship enables God’s message to be brought, or His purpose to be accomplished, in a worship setting.’ [1]

Practicing the Prophetic (Part 1)
Growing up in the church, I really wrestled with the idea of prophecy and being prophetic. In 1 Corinthians 14, I read Paul’s admonition to eagerly desire the gift of prophecy, yet something in me resisted with a quiet, but firm “no thank you.”
It wasn’t that I didn’t believe in prophecy or think it was real. It wasn’t even because of the times I’d seen the prophetic used manipulatively, although that certainly didn’t help. My primary resistance was because, well, prophetic people seemed weird. (Is that too much honesty?) The Biblical prophets didn’t strengthen the case much—giving their ki...

20 Signs Of Insecure Musicians/Singers
I find this to be true in many people. If there's something that reflects you in this list, then you need to pray and work on it.
1- A Bassist who is Insecure would detune the Strings after playing especially when another bassist would be playing after him. That's one reason most bassists carry their own Guitars to programs.
2- An Insecure Keyboardist would Transpose the Keyboard and would leave it like that, so the next player comes to play a wrong key. Abi you remember the Musical Rockshow days.
3- A singer who is Insecure does not want anyone else to lead the Songs.
4- A Sin...
