How to Develop Prophetic Accuracy

I remember when I first started out in the prophetic. The main thing I wanted to be was ACCURATE. I wanted to be right on point when I spoke the word of the Lord. I started out mainly in personal prophecy. When I prophesied, I wanted to speak the very secrets of the person’s heart according to 1^st Corinthians 14:25.  I believe this is everyone’s heart when they begin in the prophetic. Coupled with that, there is much fear of missing the mark or not being accurate. So when you begin, you have to pray to the Lord that he will deliver you from the spirit of fear. When I first came to my church, I was around powerful prophetic people and was very intimidated. They seemed to prophesy the inner chambers of your heart with ease. We were all mentored by my overseer, Apostle Matthew Stevenson, who is known in our area as a man with “lethal prophetic accuracy”. So the pressure was definitely on as we all wanted to be as accurate as our leader. However, I thought there was a big secret to becoming more accurate in the prophetic. I thought to do the usual which is what we all do pray more, fast more, worship more, and the like. Although, these things help. However, it was one scripture that changed my whole perspective of developing accuracy.

 

John 15:15 states, “ Henceforth I call you not servants; for servants knoweth now what his lord doeth; but I have called you friends; for all things I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.”

 

Apostle Matthew shared this scripture with me and he said, God talks to his friends. If you spend time developing a relationship with God. He will speak to you as a friend. This changed my whole view  because I no longer focused on being accurate or developing my prophetic gift. I focused on becoming a friend of God and accuracy in the prophetic came as a result.  So the first step to developing prophetic accuracy is to simply spend time with God. Once you commune with him. He will begin to share his heart with you through dreams, visions, audible voices, encounters, and other methods.  You will find out the Lord has a lot to say. Prophesying became a little easier once I embraced this concept. Before giving a prophetic word, I would begin to ask God quietly in my heart or out loud, “What do you want to say to this person?” or “What is your heart for this person”. Then, the prophetic rivers began to flow. So much so I became acquainted with his voice.

 

Another key is he knows us by name and has a something to say to each person, city, town, or nation. Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you…” So, God knows what he wants to say to a person when giving a word.  The key is to spend time with the God and he will reveal it.  We desperately need the thoughts of God!

Learning to Hear God’s Voice

This will probably be a recurring question and there are a lot of misconceptions to the answer. However, I will attempt to briefly explain so inital steps to help you hear God’s voice and be confident that you have heard him. There are various ways that God speaks to us. However, I want to focus on hearing God through the inner voice which is I believe the initial phase to hearing God speak.

                All throughout scripture what you find recurring is God telling his people variations of these two phrases, “those who have ears, let him hear!” and “Hearken unto my voice”.  So, Why does God have to tell us to listen to him? The scripture clearly dictates that the issues is not with God speaking. It lies in the fact that we are not listening. God is passionate about speaking to his people. He desire to share his heart with us, but our own minds and hearts prohibit us from hearing him. Life can be really demanding and distracting. Some of us have kids, jobs, homework, careers, and other obligations and they demand our attention. So, the first step is to remove any and all distractions of your soul (i.e. mind, will, emotions). This means you have to quiet yourself through various means such as prayer, fasting, or maybe worship. One scripture that I found is helpful when the difficulty of quieting my mind and thoughts before God overtakes me is  2^nd Corinthians 10:5. It reads, “Casting down every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;”. Praying this scripture will break any demonic influences from your mind so that you easily yield yourself to the Lord.

                After you start to spend consistent time with the Lord in prayer and worship, you will notice a distinction from your thoughts and God’s thoughts. As you continue to ask the Lord, to speak to you. In most cases, it will come in unplanned, sporadic thoughts, feelings, or emotions. Listen to these nudges of the Holy Spirit. You don’t have to be in prayer for the Lord to speak to you. He can speak to you throughout your day. However, our minds and hearts must be open. This means that we must always have a receptive heart and mind before the Lord or an openness, if you will. If you posture you heart, you will be surprise as to how much God wants to say.  You will also have to have faith, because the enemy is going to tell you it is not God. You will convince yourself that it is you. However, Leap in faith and just believe it was God. Don’t allow doubt to shake you!

 

I pray that know you  will take advance of your God-given right to hear God’s voice. If you desire to learn more about this topic, please visit http://prophetspace.ning.com.

National Day Of Prayer Directives

These are some awesome directives given from one of my elders concerning the National Day of Prayer which is today. I thought you guys could definitely use this insight.

Why is it important to pray today?

Scripture says sound the alarm through prayer, fasting and repentance; Reference Joel 2. Our nation is in a spiritual crisis. The voices of the intercessors must be heard for reformation, restoration and revival to truly take place here in the USA. Nehemiah, Esther, Daniel, Jeremiah, Ezra and even Jesus Christ (Son of Man) are just a few biblical characters that set this pattern for us to follow!

 

• Repentance for the open and hidden sin of our country, even of our Founding Fathers. Heal our land; Joel 2 & 2 Chronicles 7:14
• Current President and Dick Chaney. 
• Upcoming elections (primaries in Indiana next week).
• God is concerned about the releasing of true prophets (Eagles) in our nations. Prophets that will stand against the prophets of Baal (wisdom, false prophets of this Age) Reference 1 Kings 18.
• Justice/relief for the poor, impoverished, hurting & abused women and children. 
• Rise up/groom pastors (ministers) the will follow the paradigm of “The Good Shepard” Ezekiel 34:11-31 & John 10:14
• Purity of Revivalists and street revivalists. Beyond of the Martin Luthers. Restoration of holiness and purity to the church, streets, and body of Christ.
• Jezebel: 2 Kings 9:22 One of the ruling principalities over the USA. Represents whoredoms (1John 2:16; lust that will never be satisfied, witchcraft ( Stubbornness, rebellion, no peace, and New Age delusion which influences doctrine, promotes hidden agendas & SELF-glorification). Apostle Matthew stated that it represents perversion of every type which is the opposite of Truth (the Spirit/Character of Christ).
• Release the Arch-Angels to fight against this territorial principality, to stop it’s agenda’s and subordinates. Release them to break the strong hold of it’s influence over our Country
