How to Start to Prophesy in Under 3 Days!

[@MorganWallaceMusic]

Thank you for defining prophesy and giving these practical steps! So so thankful for you guys being faithful in general, but also to share these things with the world this way!

I appreciate your comment about NOT prefacing prophecy with “Thus saith the LORD.” In the 70s,80s, 90s when I was in charismatic fellowships, using that phrase was virtually a requirement!

I love what you are doing. But I do not agree with what you said that you should deliver prophesies in a way that should appease a person. That is not Biblical. Prophets Moses, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Elijah, delivered warnings, cautions, and Prophetic judgement is the most assertive and sometimes harsh manners, rebuking and correcting openly, in order to move the people to change. In a nutshell, the Prophetic should be how the Spirit of Yeshua Directs you

Thanks for your comments Lionel. Yours is quite a common - and, respectfully, I would suggest a mistaken - view. It stems from not distinguishing between the nature of New Testament prophecy and that of the Old Testament era. Since the Ascension, the Holy Spirit has been poured out on all believers, so we're all able to weigh prophetic words. This was not the case in the OT, so the response of the people of God to a prophetic word was binary: either, 'this is the Lord's word, we must obey', or 'that's a false word, and we must remove the prophet from our community before they lead us astray into sin'. There was no gray here - it was a black or white situation. In the NT era, where everyone gets to play, we can all practice hearing from God for one another. However, this can easily lead to pastoral chaos without wise parameters! Thus the Bible instructs us clearly about how to prophesy. Here are some examples: - 1 Corinthians 14:3: prophecy is given to strengthen, encourage, and comfort - 2 Corinthians 5:19: Jesus brings reconciliation, not condemnation, and calls us to do the same - "God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation." - 2 Corinthians 10:8: Paul describes his leadership authority as being positive and not negative: "So even if I boast somewhat freely about the authority the Lord gave us for building you up rather than tearing you down, I will not be ashamed of it." (See also 13:10) - Jesus in John 14:16, 26 calls the Holy Spirit our comforter, which relates back to 1 Corinthians 14:3 (it's the same root word in NT Greek). The work of the enemy is to bring condemnation. This is usually by giving people a general feeling of guilt, shame, and unworthiness. By contrast, when the Holy Spirit brings conviction, it is always about something specific so that we can quickly repent and stand clean and ready before God. The role of prophetically gifted people is not to do the enemy's work for him!! Finally, to reiterate, saying "Thus saith the Lord" is controlling and disempowering. Jesus wants all of us to grow up, including in how we weigh the gifts. If we have a prophetic word for someone, we offer it with humility and generosity, inviting them to weigh and process it for themselves, and with those they trust (if it's a weightier word). If your prophetic word is from the Lord, it doesn't need you to hype it up. In the NT era, none of us use our gifts with 100% perfection! Thus we must always communicate humility and openness to correction. If this was not the case. Paul would not have taught us about prophetic words being weighed (e.g. 1 Corinthians 14:29, "Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said.") Hope this helps!

@dandelionresourcing In the New Testament, Prophecy was given to warn. An example was when Apostle Paul was approached by a Prophet who used his belt to warn Paul what will happen to him if he decides to travel to Rome. There was no encouragement in the Prophet's words. In a nutshell, when we study GOD's Word, we discover that when wickedness prevails in any society, Words of Prophecy that mostly Come from GOD Almighty, Jesus Christ Are mostly filled warnings of a coming judgement, so that people can repent and turn from their wicked ways. Such is the case in this end times: So much wickedness has prevailed in the world - as prophesied in GOD'S Word, to the extent that many in the Church are turning to the world. As such, Prophetic words of encouragement only will hardly get such people to repent and return to the LORD. Prophetic words of warnings of coming judgement are necessary to instill fear of the LORD and genuine repentance. I speak from experience as a Prophet of GOD Almighty, Jesus Christ: There are times He Gives me Prophetic Words of warning to give to people and doesn't permit me to water down the message. Sometimes, He gives encouragement, while other times, He Gives warning, then followed by encouragement. Also, it is very wrong to tell people not to say; "Thus saith the LORD", when delivering a direct message from the LORD Jesus Christ. Here is why... From the ministry of Isaiah, every carrier of GOD'S Prophetic Word MUST LEARN to get people when they are talking of themselves and when they are delivering a direct message from the LORD, word verbatim. And the only way to make that distinction is by using phrases like; "Thus Saith the LORD"
