Episode #17; Guarding & Guiding Your Life by the Prophetic Ministry of the Holy Spirit

Vigilance for the Endtimes: Spirit-Empowered Discipleship For the Last Days

I believe it is crucial to focus on the New Testament operation of the gift of prophecy, and what it means to us right here and now at this point in time for our lives, and for our ministries in the Lord. 1st Timothy 1:18 puts the New Testament gift of prophecy and prophesying in it’s God-given, Holy Spirit inspired context; Paul’s apostolic encouragement to his protégé, from 1st Timothy; “I commit this charge to you, my son Timothy, according to the prophetic words spoken over you, and that by those prophetic words, you would be encouraged and emboldened to fight a good warfare”.

From this, we see that, according to this very context, a Prophetic Word is “His spoken desire and will specific to you”.

Three Dynamics of a Prophetic word from the Lord, which are intended to produce in you results that will carry over into Eternity:

First of all, a word from the Lord given to you, tests your obedience.

Second, a word from the Lord given to you tests your faithfulness.

Thirdly, a word from the Lord tests your ability to bear fruit.

A true prophetic word from the Lord will crucify your flesh, and is designed to bring maturity and Christlike obedience to your soul, and as you give yourself to that prophetic word by saying Yes to it and submitting yourself to it, you place yourself on the pathway of growing in obedience, faithfulness, and fruitfulness. A True Prophetic Word is intended to bring you into obedient alignment with His personal will for you.
