A word of prophecy is given to us by God to use as a weapon to fight the good fight of faith. What that means is that we need to wield it like a weapon is wielded in battle. If you prefer, you can reject the word when you are alone and tell the devil to take a hike when others are not around.įor the word that we determine is of God, we must wield that word. Of course, don’t be rude to the person delivering the prophetic word. You may choose to tell the person giving the word that you do not believe it lines up with what God has told you. By rejecting it out loud, we are taking authority over the enemy and his lies. And it is a good idea to reject it verbally, because false prohecies are often sent by the enemy to distract us from our real direction. If we know a prophecy is not of God, we need to reject it. When we verbally receive a prophetic word, we are agreeing with what has been prophesied and it sets things in motion to bring it to pass. We simply receive it by saying we accept it as a word from God. If we have determined that a prophetic word is scriptural and bears witness with our spirit, then we must receive it. In other words, set it aside and pray about it and see what the Lord says and does with it in the days to come. If you know you are not called to the mission field, you can toss that word out. For example, if someone prophesies that you are to move to the Alaskan interior and be a missionary, determine if it lines up with your desires and what the Holy Spirit has been saying to you.
A word of prophecy should confirm what is in your heart, not contradict it. Secondly, we need to determine if it bears witness with our spirit and with what the Lord has told us directly. Yes, it works to go to check the Bible after we get a word, but it is better if we already have a good working knowledge of the Bible so we can better judge any prophecies. To know if a prophecy is scriptural, we must study the Bible and know what it says. For example, if someone prophesies to a married person that they are to divorce their spouse and marry them, you can bet it is not from God because the Word does not promote such behavior. Here is what we must do with a prophetic word.įirst of all, we must determine if it lines up with scripture. A prophecy is not meant to be ignored, but we need to act upon it. When we receive a word of prophecy delivered to us, we need to do some things with it. Both the gift of prophecy, in which any believer can operate at the will of the Spirit, and the office of the prophet, are fully functioning today.
#RUNS DEEPER SYNONYM FULL#
The operation of the prophetic is in full swing in these days- it has not been done away with.
We see in this verse that a prophetic word was given to Timothy when the elders laid hands upon him. I want to talk a moment about prophecy and what we need to do when we receive a personal word of prophecy. Do not neglect the spiritual gift within you, which was intentionally bestowed on you through prophetic utterance when the elders laid their hands on you.
