Scripture References: 1 Timothy 1:18-19, 1 Corinthians 14:1, Habakkuk 2:2, Matthew 9:37-38

Intro: Following last week's sermon on holding onto prophetic promises (1 Timothy), we've been pressing into hearing God and eagerly pursuing spiritual gifts. This week, something significant happened. After Man Camp and Steve Whitmer's message, we unexpectedly received a detailed prophetic word for Radiant Visalia from Nick Fox (via Alan Frow), a church leader in San Diego who knew nothing specific about us.

Key Points:

1. The Unexpected Word: Received spontaneously after Alan Frow mentioned Radiant Visalia online. Nick Fox felt God speak specifically about our church, despite having no prior knowledge.
2. Key Themes of the Prophecy:
   • Leadership & Unity: Multi-site transition/multiplication may bring weariness. Critical for leaders (elders, staff, core) to prioritize fasting, worship, and praying together to stay unified. (Kingdom Come relevance).
   • Harvest & Outreach: New opportunities coming. Specific harvest among 1st Gen Mexican/South American immigrants (easy reaping, but requires unique environments to retain). Call to mobilize & reach families impacted by mental disabilities/handicaps (a "justice story").
   • Healing & Spirit's Move: An open door for a move of healing (vision: lines of wheelchairs outside our brick building). Grace for this season to "put a foot on the gas" regarding things of the Spirit, moving past previous caution.
   • Church Character & Story: God affirms the church's courage, faithfulness, and accessible simplicity. A call to "write their story."
3. Confirmation: Initial skepticism was met with confirmation. Nick Fox affirmed he was unaware of our context (brick building, multi-site efforts) – the word came purely as revelation when he read our name.

Conclusion: This detailed, accurate, and unsolicited prophetic word is incredibly encouraging. It affirms God sees us, knows our situation, and has specific plans and direction for Radiant. It confirms themes we've been sensing and pursuing. Let's receive this word with faith and gratitude.

Call to Action: Let's take this word seriously. Pray into these specific points: leadership unity, the harvest among immigrants and families with disabilities, the move of healing, accelerating in the Spirit, and telling our story. Ask God how you can personally partner with Him in these areas. Let's hold onto these promises and fight the good fight with renewed focus and faith.
