A friend recently asked, “What about non-visual art through spontaneous songs (prayers, blessings) from the heart?”

Non-visual art can definitely be prophetic too-anything that says what God is saying can be prophetic. Spontaneous songs, prayers and blessings are lovely—and can be powerful prophetic creativity. Theresa Dedmon, in her book Born to Create, writes a lot about these forms–and an amazing variety of other arts God uses. I emphasise the visual here because that’s what I do and know best; visual art needs a voice in Christian circles these days, but yes, the prophetic can take lots of forms. When I was on an arts outreach in Albania, a dancer danced a blessing over me.
