PROPHETIC WORKSHOP

Sessions 11 & 12

by

Elsabe Briers

 

 

1.                    Would that all God’s people would prophesy!

 

Num 11:29 “ And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the LORD'S people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!”

 

 

2.                    Earnestly desire to prophesy!

 

1 Co 14:1 “ Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.”

 

Desire:  zēloō

Strongs G2205; to have warmth of feeling for or against: - affect, covet (earnestly), (have) desire, (move with) envy, be jealous over, (be) zealous (-ly affect).

 

Amo 3:8  “The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?”

 

1Co 14:31 “ For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.”

 

 

3.                    Do not despise Prophecy or those who prophesy

 

1Th 5:20 “ Despise not prophesyings.”

 

 

Despise: 

exoutheneō : Strongs: G1848:   contemptible, despise, least esteemed, set at nought.

 

4.                    Judgment will come on those who despise prophecy:

 

Pro 13:13  “Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded. “

Num 15:31 “ Because he hath despised the word of the LORD, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him.”

2Ch 36:16 “ But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy.”

 

5.                   Righteously judging Prophecy

 

1Th 5:21 “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. “

 

 

1Jn 4:1 “ Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.”

1Co 2:15  “But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.”

Joh 7:24  “Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”

9.                    The Spirit of Prophecy

 

“….for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”  Rev. 19:10

 

 

This “testimony” denotes the Word and the Manifest Presence of the Lord.

It is the realm of prophecy where the mantle of Prophetic anointing falls on a person or body of people, causing them to prophesy, even though they are not prophets or normally move in the gift of prophecy. (Numbers 11: 29); 1 Sam. 10:10;  1 Sam. 19: 20).

 

10.          Living Prophetically to the praise of His glory:

 

“…….for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” Rev. 19:10

 

Spirit – tuned to the Spirit

Conscience

Intuition

Fellowship

Soul – focused and submitted to Jesus

Mind

Will

Emotions

Body: consecrated to the Lord

Eyes

Ears

Mouth or tongue: Ps. 45: 1-3; Prov. 25:11;

Feet

11.          Fresh consecration to be tuned to the Spirit

 

12.           Declarations to stay attuned

 

1.      I am coveting to prophesy and desire it earnestly. ( 1 Cor. 14: 1) God will give me the desires of my heart, (Ps. 37: 4)because I delight myself in His will for me.

2.      I am growing in the prophetic as I yield my spirit to the Spirit of Prophecy

3.      The Lord is my Shepherd and I hear His voice. (Ps. 23; Joh. 10: 27)

4.      My spiritual ears are opening more and more as I tune my spirit to listen for His Word and drink of the living water. (Is. 55)

5.      My spiritual eyes are being opened to a greater degree as I position myself on the watchtower to see what the Spirit is saying. (Hab. 2)

6.      I will boldly and confidently speak what I hear the Spirit is saying, as I am making myself available to be His messenger to edify, encourage and exhort the body of Christ.

7.      My motivation is love and therefore my intention is to be a blessing to everyone I meet (Gal. 6: 10)

8.      I purpose that my words will bring grace to those who hear me as I speak life and destiny into people’s lives.

9.      The Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation is opening up the eyes of my understanding ( Eph. 3: 17) more and more each day as I drink into the Spirit (1 Cor. 12: 13) while I worship and study the Word of God, praying in the Holy Spirit.

10.  By faith I will express the blessing of what I receive from God in whatever form: singing, speaking, dancing, writing it

 

 

13. This is how you are going to Prophesy:

 

PROPHECY IS A WAY OF BLESSING

 

We carry His word as a gift to enhance people’s lives.   Be a diligent messenger, taking proper care over your packages and mail.
