This is a revelation to better help you understand prophecy, the office of the prophet, the gift of prophecy. A company of prophets, prophesying by the spirit.
There is a difference between a person and a prophet and the office he holds today. The old testament prophet foretold the future. Whether it was people, places, or events. The spirit of God would come upon him and reveal unto him what he was about to do.
Amos 3:7 says
"God can not do anything in the Earth except reveal unto his prophets and his servants."
KEY: There is a difference in a person that has a gift we have alot of people who have gifts that's in there spirits that don't have the holy spirit. It's key that you understand that a person that is influenced by the Spirit of God willn to tell you that go against God's will. There's no magic portions, no chicken bones, no goofy dust, no candles, a whole lot of stuff people are using today is not God and is not God's way.
The purpose of prophecy is to reveal God's plan in part.
Exodus 3 God called Moses to be a prophet. Now so that you better understand the calling of God is God's invitation so anytime a person says "God has this calling on your life" it's because God has invited you to know him first.
3:4 - The key to understanding the call of God. That means God's invitation to you to come and get to know him. Because if you don't know him everything you will try to do you will say it's God and it's not. The bible say many are called but few are chosen. It means God invited many people but everybody wasn't interested. The first part of the calling was to get to know God. "He says I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob."
The reason why he introduced himself because:
- There is history of the relationship that God had with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. God cut the first covenant with Abraham and said he'd be a father of many nations. The key part to the call of God and the prophetic ministry is most people God called. Is for many nations or many nationalities. Not just one color or one race.
- This is critical: If you don't know God, the Old Testament way was God used things to get your attention. Burning bush, dreams, visions, angelic beings. Once God got your attention then he would begin to reveal who he was.
1 Samuel 3 - Samuel was in the temple for 14 years. But he didn't know God. We have a lot of people today that's in the church that don't know God. They know about him. Before as knowing him personally they never really actually met God.
The main qualification of a prophet is that you must know God. The next thing God does is he will reveal his project in the Earth. (The work assignment he has for you) God told Moses to go to Egypt but God had to reveal his self as the God of Miracles to him. (Exodus 4:10, 11)
He told Moses to go and I will be with your mouth and I will teach you what to say as you go. The key here to understanding this is. When a man or woman says they're a prophet there's what we call prophetic responsibility. Old testament prophet, prophesied under inspiration of the Holy Spirit. New testament prophet, prophecies by revelation.
You need the holy spirit (God Program)
- 1 Corinthians 12 (9 Gifts of the Spirit).
- Galatations 5:22-23. The fruit of the Spirit.
All of these are apart of the Holy Spirit or God Program. Every person serving the Lord needs the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit connects you & God together. It's like your TV in the house it's receiving a signal from somewhere and because you have the right "hook up" in the house and you're on the same channel you see what's somebody else is sending you. The Holy Spirit causes you & God to be on the same channel. God's in heaven when he starts thinking thoughts he will convey them through you through the holy spirit.
This is key if you're going to be a prophet. This is key to understanding prophecy.
The five fold gifts of what we call governmental administration should be six fold.
- Apostle for foundation
- Prophet for revelation
- Bishop for observation
- Evangelist for education and evaluation
- Pastor for preparation and presentation
- Teacher for certification
It's important that we understand three major things.
- When God sends a prophet we much recognize him as a prophet.
- Prophet man which holds a prophetic office so when you say Prophet you're not addressing the man you're addressing the office.
- There's a difference between a person with a gift that can prophecy through the gift.
1 Samuel 10 - God called Saul had Samuel anointing he leaves the prophet and his first experiences with a company of prophets. You need to be around people of your own kind if you're prophetic then you need to be around people that prophecy. The key here is to learn and to grow.
Now I know you're saying what does this have to do with my prophecy. Let me put it like this in Genesis 12 God called Abraham. Genesis 13 God gave him some money. Genesis 14 he met the king of Salem and the king of Salem layed hands upon him and received tithes from him.
Now understand this God called him, God gave him money. But it took the king of Salem to make him legal. Many people prophecy but you can't release what you don't have. So God had to give him some money, so once he got money it began to draw money people. IA: King of Salem.
Many people prophecy but they don't have access neither in their possession the ability to prophecy. The second thing here is many people have gifts and can prophecy. But they haven't met the criteria of the prophetic office or the call of the prophet. Every prophet required to fast 10 days, 21 days, and 40 days. But this is to help you understand certain spiritual rims you will not have access to until you fast.
God gave Daniel wisdom, knowledge, understanding, skill, and the tongue of the learn. IA: Your gift will make room before great men. it just means that there's a day coming you're going before kings, governors, police chief, millionaires, because this is the call of God and the assignment with the office you hold as a prophet.
If you're reading this blog it's because there's a heavy prophetic call on your life. And you're about to receive a great harvest there's going to be a shifting because the winds have changed and are blowing in your life. It's going to blow all the old things out, old people, old connections, old way of doing things, God's going to do a new thing in your life, you're apart of a major prophetic revelation, of a company of prophets that God is raising up now (Acts 3). God is trying to open your eyes so you can see. (Acts 9). The scales fell off Pauls eyes and he could see.
God is trying to get you around people as it was in David. When God got him into the temple with Johnathan. 1 Samuel 18 God weaved Johnathan and David's heart together. Every person needs a father, a mentor, and a protege. Because you have very few friends in the prophetic ministry, don't take it to heart it comes with the territory.
