In 1st Corinthians 14:1 the Apostle Paul writes, "Desire earnestly the spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy!" (NKJV, emphasis added). No, every believer is not a prophet, but ALL believers can prophesy. The prophetic ministry has been abused by some, ignored by others, and undervalued by many. Be that as it may, God has not changed His mind! To prophesy means to speak or declare the mind, the will, the heart, the intent of the Father. It is to declare what God is saying. In Matthew 4:4 Jesus said that we live by every word that God speaks. When God speaks worlds are created, walls fall down, lives are restored, and destinies are realized. You and I have the privilege of partnering with the heart of God through prophetic declarations and decrees to see His Kingdom established here on the earth. This week's episode is about becoming a prophetic people. That is not something weird or spooky. It is simply a matter of learning to be led by the Spirit of God in daily living. When we learn the ways and the heart of our Heavenly Father, we can stand in agreement and respond in obedience to see His Kingdom come and His will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
