PROPHETIC!
FATHER’S DESIRE:
The desire within heart of the Father is to bring forth a "prophetic people" who know how to cooperate with Father’s eternal intent!
The prophetic activates...it stirs up!
When there is no prophetic flow, there is death! When you prophesy and speak prophetically, it is God breathing into a situation giving life to it!
A PURE STREAM:
We need a pure prophetic stream to flow from the heart of the Father! We always prophesy in accordance and alignment with the command of God!
Ezek.36:1,3 "Son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel and SAY, O mountains of Israel, hear the Word of the Lord...vs.3 Therefore PROPHESY & SAY,
'This is what the sovereign Lord says:...."
THE “SPIRIT” OF PROPHECY:
Rev.19:10 "...hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy"
The word "testimony" refers to a certification of someone by words. It is a declaration which both informs & corroborates a testimony borne by an authentic witness who speaks with authority flowing out of experiential knowledge!
REALMS OF PROPHECY:
There are three important realms of prophecy:
(1)The spirit of prophecy...Rev.19:10
(2)The gift of prophecy...1 Cor.12:10
(3)The ministry / office of the Prophet...
1 Cor.12:28 /Eph.4:11
•We flow "under" the spirit of prophecy-----everyone has the ability!
•We flow "with" the gift of prophecy-----the Gift is bestowed and must be “stirred” up!
•We flow "in" the ministry of the prophet------an office given by Christ!
The apostle Paul wrote: “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord”
(1 Corinthians 15:58).
As believers today, we must renew that same spirit of determination and commitment to faithfulness, to constancy, to endurance—no matter how somber the road or how grievous the cost!
