We respond to prophecy in the same way that we would to promise. We must become doers of the word, whether it is written or spoken. We live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God-Matthew 4: 4. Jesus came to elevate the prophetic word back to its rightful place in the… Continue reading Prophecy

The delivery of a prophetic word must match its content
The objective of the prophecy must affect your delivery. If the plan is to encourage or inspire someone, then your words and how you say them must be uplifting to that person. If the objective is to empower them to make a stand and resist the enemy, then your delivery must give them the necessary… Continue reading The delivery of a prophetic word must match its content
What constitutes immaturity, in the prophetic?
Failure to comprehend that Jesus in himself brings a whole new type of Prophet and prophetic ministry into the earth-one that reflects the nature of God within a believer rather than the external legal structure that surrounded people in the Old Covenant. Law gives way to grace, mercy replaces judgment, goodness and kindness lead to… Continue reading What constitutes immaturity, in the prophetic?
They prophesied with harps
In this message we will explore the history of music in the Old Testament, particularly those aspects which relate to what God has promised to bring forth today. In Isaiah 26:18–20, the prophet speaks of the travail of the end time and the worship that will accompany the breakthrough into resurrection life. We were pregnant,… Continue reading They prophesied with harps
The right to a greater confirmation
God is revealing a principle that we must understand. We could call it the city-of-refuge principle. Although this principle will be more clearly defined in the days to come, this message will help us to understand the new dimension that we are moving into now. We read in the Old Testament that six cities were… Continue reading The right to a greater confirmation
“With Samuel presiding over them”
In the Old Testament we read about Samuel’s school of prophets at Shiloh. Once again God is raising up prophets whom He is anointing and teaching to move as a functioning company of people. To take part in this, we must sense the destiny and the commission that God has today, because the time to… Continue reading “With Samuel presiding over them”
A hammer and a fire
It is important for you to have the Word of the Lord, so that you can know what you are doing and why you are doing it, as well as God’s ultimate purposes in everything that is taking place. You will stumble if you follow the human level of trying to rationalize situations instead of… Continue reading A hammer and a fire
Lift up your voice and Prophesy against …
Several years ago a group of people, believing for the Kingdom of God to come forth in the earth, began to prophesy that Babylon would come down. That little group was vigorous about it, and God is now bringing Babylon down. God has answered the prayers of this people. Great changes have taken place in… Continue reading Lift up your voice and Prophesy against …
How to receive a Word from God
God allows difficulties to arise in this walk with Him in order that we will search the Word and find the real basis for a walk with God. In I Corinthians 14:24, 25, we read what prophecy in a service can really be. But, if all prophesy and an unbeliever or an ungifted man enters,… Continue reading How to receive a Word from God
The testimony of Christ
The nineteenth chapter of the book of Revelation is one of the most significant. It ends a three-chapter portrait of two mystical, symbolical women. The seventeenth and eighteenth chapters deal with Mystery Babylon, the great harlot. The nineteenth chapter deals with the Bride of Christ—pure, virtuous, made righteous by the precious blood of Jesus Christ.… Continue reading The testimony of Christ
The test of true and false prophets
It is established in the Word that the great problem of false prophets and false teachers will come forth in the end time. We are aware that things, which do have a great deal of truth to them, will be so beguiling that people will follow after them and be led into deception, thus missing… Continue reading The test of true and false prophets
School of the prophet’s
The school of prophets is not some term we have devised. It originates with Samuel in the Old Testament, who trained young men to be prophets. Perhaps there was no greater force created by God than what Samuel foresaw and utilized. Witchcraft had been very common in the land of Canaan, and with the school… Continue reading School of the prophet’s
Ye that have the Spirit blow the trumpet
Also seven priests shall carry seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark; then on the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets. And it shall be that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of… Continue reading Ye that have the Spirit blow the trumpet
Sealed in a jar
Now at the time the army of the king of Babylon (this is in the eighteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar) was beseiging Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the guard, which was in the house of the king of Judah, because Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up,… Continue reading Sealed in a jar
How shall I think of you?
In Ephesians 4:11–13, we read of the ministries Christ gave to the Church: … He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; until we… Continue reading How shall I think of you?
Speak it into existence
We would like to see our prophetic services take two or three steps up. Let me explain something that will help you. We are still exhorting too much. One gets up and says, “O people of the Lord, this is what you’re to do and that’s what you’re to do.” It is fine, but it… Continue reading Speak it into existence
Walk through the land and describe it
It is marvelous when God says something to you, but as you go along through various circumstances and changes from day to day, many times it seems as though you need a fresh word. That first word, you may feel in your heart, is not valid now: perhaps the Lord may have changed His mind… Continue reading Walk through the land and describe it
Days of preparation
These are days of preparation for what the Lord shall bring forth in our midst. It is not a time to be fearful or to draw back. It is not a time that thou shall not be fully exposed unto the Lord and the moving of His Spirit as He searcheth the heart and prepareth… Continue reading Days of preparation
The prophet-priest of the kingdom
In this end time, God is opening up a realm of ministry which His people have not walked in before. It can best be described by two pictures. One portrays the greatest revelations and the highest spiritual level of the priesthood. The other portrays the greatest revelations and the highest spiritual level of the prophets.… Continue reading The prophet-priest of the kingdom
Ready for a special work
Lord, you said Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Psalm 2:8. We know, Lord, that all the ends of the earth are going to see Thy Lordship. So we reach out to You and we believe that we… Continue reading Ready for a special work
A plan and a way for thee
For the hour has come that the Lord shall surely bring judgment once again to and from the house of the Lord. He deals with thee in order that thy heart shall be set upon Him. Behold, thou shall not look to the circumstance and thou shall not look to the difficulty of the way,… Continue reading A plan and a way for thee
Suffer it to be so now
Prophecy not only foretells or proclaims; it does more. It brings the word of faith that generates. Let us prophesy the judgments of the Lord. The Passover is the feast of judgment, for it was by the judgment of God that slaves became free men at one midnight stroke. It was by the judgment of… Continue reading Suffer it to be so now
The miracle walk of confirmation
We are unique, inasmuch as we are believing to be a prophetic company. By that I mean we renounce the idea that we are capable by our own intelligence of governing our own destiny and determining the will of God without any mistake. This concept is freighted with a great many dangers and pitfalls. The… Continue reading The miracle walk of confirmation
Concentrate on the Word
God is lifting the level of the prophetic services in the New Testament churches and bringing the people into the most revolutionary step yet taken. Prophesying has generally been in the future tense, “The Lord will do such and such,” but it is quite another thing to speak with creative faith, “It is done now;… Continue reading Concentrate on the Word
The gift of prophesy
In the list of the nine gifts of the Spirit, I Corinthians 12:10 names the gift of prophecy. The gift of prophecy is needed very much in the great flow of the Spirit which God is bringing to His people in these days. Prophecy is like a railroad track, because it can be the channel… Continue reading The gift of prophesy
Instruction for prophesying 2
Worship must be two ways. You open up and give to the Lord, but in that openness to the Lord, feel yourself drawing. Reach right up, loving the Lord, focusing right on the Lord, and at the same time breathe in and draw from Him. There must be an exchange, a rhythm—drawing and ministering it,… Continue reading Instruction for prophesying 2
Instruction for prophesying
The prophet Isaiah prophesied in the Old Testament that the yoke would be destroyed because of the anointing. One thing we should learn, as we are beginning to prophesy and sing psalms in the service, is to ever strive for a deeper depth of anointing. The depth of anointing is what is important. We can… Continue reading Instruction for prophesying
The New creative flow
According to I Corinthians 14, prophecy is to edify, exhort, and comfort. Many times we have prophecies of exhortation when the need is not to exhort the people, but to edify, to build up, to actually add to the people, and to create in them the things that are to be. Consequently, the prophecies are… Continue reading The New creative flow
Speak it into existence
We are still exhorting too much. One gets up and says, “O people of the Lord, this is what you’re to do and that’s what you’re to do.” It is fine, but it is still a transition prophecy. We will always have prophecies that edify, exhort, and comfort. When we edify the people, we build… Continue reading Speak it into existence
