Hello everyone, welcome to another day in this Prophetic Series. We are going to continue to look at CHANNELS THROUGH WHICH PROPHETIC WORDS COME.
D. CREATION
Creation itself is a voice from the Lord and speaks to us in many ways. The obvious way is that God's creation tells us about who God is. The mountains speak of His strength, the rivers of His provision and the flowers of His beauty. Another way creation speaks to us is by God actually causing nature to do things that are prophetic acts. 'For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse' (Romans 1:20).
God controls everything; elements, atoms, plants, animals and humans. He can decide to use anything in creation to communicate his mind. If the star could communicate the birth of Jesus and led the Wise Men to Israel, then nothing is impossible for God to do.
E. PROPHETIC ACTS
Oftentimes the Lord will direct someone to do a prophetic act, as in the following Scripture example. This was common in the Bible. Jeremiah set a brick in the middle of the city—a prophetic symbol of laying a siege wall against Israel. Agabus tied a belt around himself as a way of showing Paul how he would suffer.
'And coming to us, he took Paul's belt and bound his own feet and hands, and said, "This is what the Holy Spirit says: 'In this way the Jews at Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles'" (Acts 21:11).
F. SIGNS AND WONDERS
Many times God will perform signs and wonders as a way to communicate His love or direction. Example is when the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon in Judges 6:17-21).
G. PROPHETIC DANCE
There are Churches that have dancers as part of their Worship Team. Oftentimes, God will begin to choreograph a supernatural, spontaneous dance, which is actually a prophetic act that the Lord is speaking to His people through the dance.
'Then the virgin will rejoice in the dance, And the young men and the old, together, For I will turn their mourning into joy And will comfort them and give them joy for their sorrow' Jeremiah 31
H. PROPHETIC SONGS
Often during worship Session, the Lord will give someone a spontaneous song that is from God to the people. It is common for God to give the prophetic singer the lyrics and the melody.
'Let the Word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God' Col. 3:16, 1 Cor. 14:15, Eph. 5:19.
I. PROPHETIC BODY CHECKS Sometimes the Lord can communicate His desire to heal someone else's body by causing pain or a sensation in a certain part of the prophetic person's body; it typically correlates to the sickness in the person that God wants to heal. This mechanism can also reveal the present state of a person/people/place. If we receive this kind of information from the Holy Spirit, it is important that we are aware of what pain or discomfort is common to us. Without clarification, we could mistakenly confuse our pain with a word of knowledge for healing. You may feel lost sometimes when relating with an unsaved person. Sometimes, this principle play out in Prophetic Intercession, where you feel the pain or present condition of the person you are to pray for. Remember that God comforts others with the comfort we have received in tribulation. 2 Cor. 1:4.
J. SPIRITUAL HAPPENINGS
Spiritual happenings are another way that God speaks to us. These are supernatural incidents that correlate with natural events. Notice that in the Book of Numbers, Aaron's rod came alive after being dead, and bore blossoms and ripe almonds as a sign from God that he was anointed to be a leader of Israel. Numbers 17:2-8
K. CIRCUMSTANCES
God can speak to us and direct us through the circumstances of our lives. This dynamic occurs as God opens and closes the doors of opportunity. It is easy to misunderstand this principle and think that any time we come up against an obstacle in our life that God cannot be in it. However, keep in mind that any time we are doing something for God, the devil will oppose us! I know your deeds. Behold, I have put before you an open door which no one can shut, because you have a little power, and have kept My word, and have not denied My name (Revelation 3:8).
L.TONGUES AND INTERPRETATION
I have written extensively on this sub topic in many series that I have done before. Let me hustle say some things now. Tongues and the interpretation of tongues are both a gift from God and a voice from Heaven. Notice that the Lord calls it the interpretation of tongues—not the translation of tongues. In other words, the tongue can be quite lengthy while the interpretation of it is brief or vice versa. If you like to have things your own way, I suggest you don't pray in tongues! For example, if we were to pray in English, asking the Lord for an Hummer Jeep then you start to pray in tongues, the Holy Spirit could be praying, "Lord don't give them an Hummer Jeep! They will hurt themselves in that car!"1 Cor.12:8-10. The interpretation of an utterance in Tongues will most likely company to you in the form of THOUGHTS. These thoughts will sort of 'arise from your heart'. Faith is required in Interpreting tongues especially that of another person. Apostle Paul says in 1Cor. 14:13 'Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret'.
God does give interpretation. Also, note that TONGUES AND INTERPRETATION= PROPHECY.
ACTIVATION
Sincerely pray and ask God to speak to you. Tell Him that you are open to hear what He wants to say to you. Take some time to wait on Him to speak to you.
