I don’t know how many of you
pay attention to or are students of Prophetic Words. But being a Prophet it is
something I pay very close attention to. Not just my own but also those of
other national and local Prophets that I respect or am in relationship with.
This does a couple of things:
·
It gives you a
sense of what God is speaking all over as you compare prophetic words.
o
I liken this to
some of the principles of Hermeneutics.
§ One Principle is called the complete mention principle
– where you take all the Scriptures that deal with a particular subject as a
whole to get the full implication of what the Bible says on that subject.
§ Another Principle is called the comparative mention
principle – where you compare and contrast two Scriptures that deal with the
same subject to see how they are the same and/or different.
o
We can and should
do the same thing with Prophetic Words that come from various sources that deal
with the same subject matter. Look at them as a whole and compare and contrast
them against one another.
·
Secondly as you
compare what others are speaking with what you are speaking it lets you know
that you are in the flow with what the Spirit of God is saying through other vessels.
We always need to remember
that none of us has complete prophetic revelation or gets it all. “For we know in part and we prophesy in part.”
1 Corinthians 13:9 NASB We all get a
piece of what God is revealing…and when we put all the pieces together…we know
what God is saying in total.
Having studied Prophetic
Words over the last several years, they were full of verbiage like: “We are on
the verge of a new move of God” or “We are on the precipice of the next wave
that God is about to release”. But over the last several months that Prophetic
Language has changed. Now God has been declaring that: “We have crossed over
into the new move of God” or “The new move of God is no longer coming…it is
here”.
That right there should make
you shout! But of course one of the ways we judge the Prophetic, besides does
it line up with Scripture, or does it bring edification, exhortation and/or
comfort, or does it bear witness with your spirit is…does it come to pass.
Let me recount for you some
things that I have experienced over the last few months that let me know that
indeed we have crossed over and we are in it now!
The first Sunday of March of
this year the Lord gave me a prophetic word that: “We had crossed into a season
of seeing, hearing and knowing”. Now for background sake I must make you aware
that I have always been predominantly a Nabi Prophet, meaning the prophetic
word just bubbled up out of my spirit. I had little if any Seer gifting or
anointing.
That afternoon while at a
ministry board meeting for a dear friend, while in prayer I stared up at the
ceiling of her living room and was watching a full color movie. I explained to
her everything that I was seeing and she said the fire of God was on her from
head to toe as I explained what I saw. Up until that time…I had never operated
this way, but that morning I prophesied a new season of seeing, hearing and
knowing, and it manifested in my life immediately…and has been growing since.
She has confirmed to me that
the things which saw and declared to her she is now beginning to walk in. Fast
forward to about six weeks ago, I was again at a board meeting for this same
ministry. Part of this lady’s calling is clinical Christian counseling and
deliverance. At this second board meeting I prophesied to her that in the very
near future she was going to have to choose between her education and training
and the river that was flowing in her spirit. Exactly two weekends later she
had to make that choice and thank God she followed the river in her spirit and
not her education and training and God wrought mighty deliverance.
The end of September a lady
came into the service that had never been in our local church before. Unbeknown
to me or anyone else she could not hear out of one of her ears…she only had
ringing in the ear. While I was preaching…her ear popped open! I didn’t pray
for her, I didn’t touch her, but God did and she could now hear out of that
ear. That same service I laid hands on almost everyone in the church during
ministry time and a lady who had been having severe back and leg pain for
months had all the pain instantly vanish. So much so that she was able to move
furniture pain free.
The end of October at a
recent Apostolic & Prophetic Summit that my Mom and I were privileged to
minister at, I ministered to a man by the laying on of hands as my Mom declared
a suddenly in his life for healing in his back. He came up to me later to tell
me he had been in excruciating pain for years because of two disintegrated
discs in his back…but he was now pain free.
Folks this is just a sample
of what is taking place. I want to encourage you that the new move of God is
not coming…It Is Here!
