The Voice | Dr. Matthew Stevenson | The Prophetic Church

we're going to at the top of the year I love Lange hand on new ministries and I'm going to teach you a little bit and try not to holler and then we're gonna lay hands on some people to ordain them and to ministry to Commission them and over the next several weeks at 10:30 after I preach will be ordaining some new ministry gifts and it is with great joy that i lay hands on these people today I'm gonna say these couples but one is a couple and a half so we he almost there we got some prophets of God that we're gonna ordain and I am elated with joy to start this ministry and with them allow me to teach can you give me just a little bit to do that and then we're gonna teach into the smoke come and we see what happens first Corinthians chapter 14 first corinthians the fourteenth chapter verse 31 an extremely extremely important chapter for this church in this paradigm first corinthians chapter 14 verse 31 if you can touka will you put that up in on the screen just in case someone is struggling to find it first corinthians the fourteenth chapter and the 31st verse praise the lord when you're there sound there if you're not there say wait on me okay till I'm there till the way don't mean a hurry up okay it's snowing out Sam I won't be waiting oh you own ding let's read it in the KJV can wait 1 2 3 4 ye may all prop okay well let's start that over okay 1 2 3 4 ye may one by one that all may learn and all may be comforted a man that is a scripture the average pastor America would rather you not read because it says ye may all prophesy okay so I want to really quickly I'm going to give you a teaching on what it is to be a prophetic Church the prophetic church how they act what they do and what their call is and this is very important that you know not just in light of what you're witnessing today but it is my personal belief that it's too expensive to not be prophetic you may be in this room and we've been talking about the voice of the Lord now stayed away from this subject up until now but you may be in this room suffering unaware because you are not as prophetic as you need to be and it is a decision to be so now you cannot decide to be a prophet but you can decide as a believer to be sensitive to the voice of the Lord and the people of God sent a man in Polish treaties so the Corinthian church he has given us a whole paradigm and first Corinthians 14 about the necessity of being prophetic and what that means now before I get into breaking down why this is important to you one of the things you realize how many of you have it this is your first church this is the first place you are a member of raise your hand okay so everybody in here pretty much came from another church let's see how many of you were Missionary Baptist that's all us in here slowly put your hand down you don't count huh that ain't great house great Harvey's a missionary man they put you put the hand out okay how many of you were Methodist raise your hand if you were Methodists we have a few methods okay how many of you come from a Catholic background we have more Catholics that we do Baptists mylanta okay how many of you were Pentecostal UK um how many of you were non-denominational a word of faith okay hi jr. listen one of the things that you're gonna notice is that every call is going to reflect the anointing of its leader no matter what the statistics tells you no matter what the research tells you or the bio the strengths on the leaders will be the strengths on the house for example that the oil on the leader is a praise and worship oil you're gonna find they're not only our worship was drawn there that's going to be the bent that they preach and teach in the same is true if the leader is an intercessor the leader is an intercessor and that strengthens Perret ministry their priority is gonna be put where prayer if the leader was a missionary or the abandons you're gonna find that that church has a very strong emphasis in missions and evangelism and God has set it up that way where the oil that is on the hair flows to the house and it's very interesting that Paul outlined policies around the demonstration and the operation of the gifts of the Spirit and they were fine when he was dealing with first Corinthians 12 but then when he went to first Corinthians 14 and made it for everybody that's where the problem came in now there's a lot there's a lot of nervousness around the gifts of the Spirit because people think that if I have a gift I know how to use it and that's not true most people would give all people with gifts have to be taught how to use it if you have the money to drive but to buy a car but you've never got a driver's license you still got the car you just don't know how to steer it and so when you realize that there are gifts of the Spirit that are active in your life it is up to you to develop the right and wrong use of that gift I love the way first Corinthians 14 opens up before we get to where we're going with the Bible says he may all prophesy 1st Corinthians 14 and 1 says this in the Aramaic Bible in plain English ain't that fancy the Aramaic Bible in plain English for those of you that don't know what Aramaic is it is the native tongue of Jesus it is the Aramaic Bible in plain English it says run after love and be zealous for the gifts of the Spirit but especially now whenever you see the word especially it means that you want to put emphases on the it is not biblical for people to not desire to prophesy and that sounds controversial only because you don't read script scripture and text the Bible say pursue love desire spiritual gifts but especially say especially you know if you're in a room and you were talking to somebody or evening you're insulting somebody you be like yeah you this you this but you especially you put emphasis on that part and Paul is telling the church of Corinthians I want you to desire the gifts of the Spirit but especially that you will prophesy it translates this way in God's words translation pursue love and desire spiritually give buttocks spiritual gifts but especially the gift of speaking what God has revealed and just in case you are not familiar with this church of the anointing on on the strength of it we are a prophetic house and we move strongly prophetically and it is not just me and it's not just a person sitting next to you it's the children it's the armor bearers it's the security guard so we are not ashamed I used to try to hide it but now I don't care we are not ashamed that we are a blatant prophetic people and here's why I think it is insulting to the Holy Spirit to imply that he came in your life to make you speak with tongues but he don't want to talk to you in English it is scriptural irresponsible to teach that believers should not hear from God and communicate it in every instance in the book of Acts when men were filled with the Holy Spirit that Bible said they spoke with tongues and prophesied so a natural byproduct of being feared the Holy Spirit should be the ability to become sensitive to the voice of God what Paul says in 1st grade is 1431 implies this that an entire people can have a prophetic call and entire people can have a prophetic call and it does not make them prophets but it means that they had the ability to hear from the Spirit of God what he is saying what he is doing and what he is thinking I personally think that it's too expensive in 2018 to date without hearing the voice of the Lord to choose schools without hearing the voice of the Lord this is how many people and in crisis they consult God after they've done what they want to do and they teach and preach it the only people that hear from God is the guy with the microphone but the guy with the microphone don't make your personal decisions that's called witchcraft we don't like this today I got to hammer this arrow down here as an individual believer your leaders job is not to live your life your leaders job is to teach you to hear from the Lord so that you can make decisions concerning your personal destiny and your career if you want them churches where you got to ask permission before you buy a car and permission before your date and permission before you go outside and permission before you go to a toilet you are not in a house you're in a cult God has given you free will and a part of what God wants you to do is to learn his voice so you can have self leadership in your life I know you don't like it so what is the prophetic church it is a church that is called by God to speak forth to declare to say what God has revealed one of the unique distinction on a prophetic Church is that they're going to prepare people for the future now this is so interesting because when people join every church they joined from their past I'm gonna say they begin when people join every Church they do not join as their future so when you come into a house you're bringing your history with you you don't know your future yet and I think it's really cheap to imply that God does not want you to know the future if you're honest for many of us it was our knowledge of the future that persuaded us out of the past it was our conviction concerning the future that made us want to come out of the past and I know we preach it and we hear it every write it but people don't like to come out to pass they like to keep the same relationships the same plans the same deadlines but there is only one thing stronger than the past and this the future so it's important to be a part of an environment that preaches the future that prepares for the future that talks about your future because hopefully you have one prophetic churches are driven by what God wants for the future I'm going to run through these bullet points real quick and then we're going to get into some stuff number one the prophetic church has prophetic leadership we learn in acts 13 one that at the church at Antioch there were what prophets and teachers the elders were prophetic when Paul would lay hands on people to ordain them he didn't burn candles over him and burn dead people incidents over him only thing Paul did was lay hands on him with the elders and he told Pete Oh Timothy neglect not the gift that was placed in you by the Lang on the my hands and the presbytery so the word presbytery is the word press Buderus and what it means is a group of elders that's been anointed to carry in the Bible I don't care what they are in your denomination in the Bible elders were a spiritual position now in many carnal approach to church elders are businessmen they wear suspenders and count money but in the bottle elders were conduits of spiritual gifts one of the things that the Bible says about elders was that they not only had the ability to transfer gifts they also had authority over infirmity if that make you man let me do you about your deacon how many of you have seen a demonized deacon when I came up in the church the Deacons job was to count the money and smoke the squares but in the Bible you couldn't even be a deacon unless you were filled with the Holy Ghost the Bible says that the whole point of the Deacons ministry was to make sure that the Apostles didn't have to give themselves to tables and to waiting so the Deacons is the diaconate is the biblical word for with tribal as an extension of the Apostles ministry so a deacon had to be filled with the Holy Ghost to do what the Apostle was not able to do because of the schedule that's just history the West is gonna bless you acts 13 one says that there were prophets at Antioch and so there were prophets and there were teachers who were all prophetic now that is a biblical precedent but in corporate gatherings I believe it's beneficial to have leaders who hear from God and here's why I think you're gonna suffer a consequence if your life is submitted to a leader who has no conviction about the future if you think about what leadership is is it is the capacity to carry people to the future but if the leader has no future sense he only has the ability to stabilize you for the present so then the future engine is the drive of all leadership we're leading you not because of where you are but because of where you're going if you knew where you were going you wouldn't need leadership so all leadership should be future heavy now I understand that many of us grew up under teaching where they discouraged us from the prophetic because you can't let everybody hear from God and you can't let everybody speak over your life and you don't want a spirit to transfer first of all let's deal with this in the Bible there was no such thing as a transference of spirits and the only people who teach that don't cast out devils and they're not familiar with the gifts of the Spirit the only case in the Bible where a spirit transferred to somebody was the case of a demonized boy to some pigs and it was with the permission of Jesus so if we are at now here's a problem many Pentecostal charismatic people are full of tradition and superstition and they don't have the theology to prove what they believe so if I'm casting out a demon of lust you ain't got the other person at the altar you ain't got to put no garlic oil and olive oil over your dough and check the blood the blood the blood the blood the blood if you ain't full of lusts it's not coming to you the only way I could come to you is if you open up the door if his nicotine devil jump on you you already had it that's all so they had prophets actual people that were called and born by God to be prophets and these were people who would spend time building the local church Ephesians 2:20 says the foundation of the church was apostles and prophets and so you find out that God built the house of God on revelatory ministry so you're going in every prophetic Church you're going to have prophets the teachers are also going to be highly prophetic the evangelists are going to be prophetic you should want a pastor that's prophetic if a pastor's job is to inspect your life and to remove fleas and ticks and gnats from you you want to make sure that they're using the Spirit of God to do it because if a pastor is inspecting you if they are judgmental if they are evil if they have low self esteem they're gonna try to correct in you what they are insecure about not necessarily what the Spirit of God is saying to your life so you need a pastor that has the ability to see you after you get delivered they need to know what you're gonna look like he'll glory they need to know what you're gonna look like I would never let a man over see me that couldn't remind me of who I was called to be I wouldn't submit to preaching that only gave me principles for today I'm handling today well it's the future that I'm worried about so we need leadership that can call us hop and lead us all the way in sorry number two in every prophetic Church here's a favorite one you're going to have intercessors if a church has been called to speak to the future one of the things you're gonna notice is there is a very different call to prayer in the average church model prayer is seen as something that is a matter of personal piety so it's gonna be a matter of personal devotion but in a prophetic Church a church takes the needs of a city the needs of a season the needs of a time and they make that a matter of Prayer so you're gonna see Watchmen you're gonna see P prophets that pray you're gonna see a women of God that pray you're gonna see praying musicians and praying worship leaders you're going to see a very powerful strength in the area of Prayer one of the things that I love about the Prophet Adam I always say this when I'm teaching on prophetic intersection prophetic intercession is like the power of early detection anybody can tell you that one of the keys to dealing with a cancer is to get it early by the time it is a small thing it's difficult to deal with but one other thing and I know for parents this may seem a little harsh they'll edit it out but I believe that there is a such thing as ugly babies now I know that's a hard thing to say everybody's supposed to think their baby is cute when you have a baby it's supposed to be cute to you because you had it but there are some children who come out there looking strange you know they got on their face the eyes ain't always situated it's okay what I love about the Prophet Anna is that during the Ministry of Jesus at the end of his ministry pay attention Betty at the end of his ministry the disciples were still wondering who he was John the Baptist who was his cousin had a moment of doubt and sent people saying are you the one or should we look for another at the end of Jesus's ministry he's still asking them who do men say that I am and those are my closer to him were like some say you this something about Mother Anna when this guy was an infant he didn't even have full facial features yet and I looked at him from the moment he was witnessing oh yeah that's the God I'm not gonna ever have a doubt again now that's a bad woman he can she look at an infant before she was fully developed and recognize that he was the Messiah you see a profile for prophetic intercession their prophetic intercessors are the sonogram of God they are the day I they're the ones who pick up on what a thing is going to be this forehead has features which is why when God is called somebody to be a prophetic innocence they're going to move in a powerful gift of faith you're not going to be able to convince an intercessor that God ain't gonna do what he's gonna do I'm sorry an intercessor has early detection so without signs hi and without symptom and without being able to know they're gonna have a knowing of the Spirit of God but no matter what y'all say this is the Messiah we need some more Anna's in this house I'm sick of trying to prove to people that we going what we going we need some midwives and some had made us that can see it before it goes so then you need easy kills you need those that make up gaps and stand and make up edges when you're in a church and you're noticing divorce and bankruptcy and you're noticing that there's all kind of disease breaking out that's not an issue of a sick and shut-in list I will give you one thousand American dollars right now if you can prove to me that sick and shutting lists or Biblical could imagine Jesus in his ministry walking around with a list of the sick in the shut-in it would reverse his entire ministry he didn't make a list out of them he made a line out of them if you were sick and you were shut-in and Jesus came across your city the Bible didn't say pray for the sick the Bible says lay hands are okay you so busy praying for some that you should be doing let's stop projecting responsibility on God and get to work slap somebody and say catch a worm I believe that's for the clergy for the preachers I don't flow in any of that I don't know if you say mark the sixteenth chapter I got to finish this the 16th through the 18th verse says he that believeth and is baptized I'm sorry shall be say what the next verse say he that believeth not shall be condemned the next verse say in my name they will cast out they will lay hands on the sick and if they drink any deadly thing it will not hurt them at all that was not a preacher's commissioned so you're gonna find it there was an aspect of prayer that comes on a prophetic house and it's more than petition there are realms of prayer that's active when a church is prophetic you're going to find intercession you're going to find binding and loosing you're going to find travail and grones you're going to find the language of the Spirit and every time there was high persecution in the book of Acts they didn't write about it they post about it they tweet about it then call the police then called a news you know they did they came together at the hour of prayer and they will begin to extend their voice and you know what I love dr. Ross they never back down every time they got persecuted they pray for boldness make us bow this culture hates us make us both they're talking about the move of the Spirit make us both help us not to back down but make us both boldness is the response to prayer after persecution if you want them to shut up leave them alone because what happens is they get louder if you mess with them amen all right number three you're gonna have the prophetic operations what on our favor I think it's first Corinthians 14 25 one of my favorite scriptures about what happens in a prophetic church is this the Bible says if an unbeliever comma or one ignorant in the amplified it says or unlearn so that's a huge category who do we have the unbeliever or the unlearned so that what if the unlearned is actually saved you can be saved and ignorant so there is one category of people that are unbelievers and there's another category people that are unlearned and here's what Paul says the 1st Corinthians 14 if an unbeliever comes in or one unlearned comes in and you all are speaking with tongues he doesn't forbid it he said they come in and you're speaking in tongues they're going to say you're mad Paul never says don't do it he says they're gonna think you're crazy so what happens is if somebody's angry with God full of their culture full of sation is teaching and lies from the pit of hell against the Ministry of the Holy Ghost they come in and everybody's in tongues they're gonna be like he that speaking in the tongue speaketh mysteries how bid in the spirit nobody understands him right the next verse says this but if all prophesy then that unbeliever number one look at this falls to his face I want you to think about that sometime we read too fast what does it take for an unbeliever to fall to his face he didn't just become an unbelievable of circumstance that proves that there had to be a series of events of proof of things that happen to make him not believe what everybody else is believing so if their prophesy and an unbeliever comes in the Bible say he number one falls what is that and acknowledge that whatever just happened to me broke me whatever was just said around here I have no argument I am literally convinced that there is nothing else but God in this place it says he falls to his face the next verse says his heart is confronted here is what the prophetic is for it is not for miracle spring water and green prosperity print handkerchiefs and it's not to get people to give $1000 $10,000 lines the point of the prophetic is a direct confrontation of the heart Paul says in 1st Corinthians the heart is confronted and he the unbeliever says God is here think about this consciously for something to happen in a room where somebody who didn't believe in God now knows where he is it is miraculous and unbeliever confesses God is here I have always said that even if I wanted to backslide and act like God was not real the prophetic has ruined me I have seen God speak directly to people in ways that nobody else could scientifically explain a way there's no way in the world you can disprove God if you've seen the prophetic word work and I have always said even if I lost my mind and decide I was gonna join the circus or run away I would always know in the back of my mind that God was real because I've seen him speak and nobody can talk to you about the things about your life as specific to God have you ever had a prophetic word from a stranger that shook you I mean there's some stuff that would come out there be general gong-gong bless you it's a new season but there's some other moments in my life where God has used men and women of God even homeless people when I was running from my calling people would find me on the street and call me by name and this was before Facebook you unbeliever this was before Instagram this was before Google you couldn't Google me in 97 it was the Spirit of God the prophetic anointing the prophets of God was the world's first Internet it was the only way that people could get information they confronts the heart if you have a hard hard hard hearted loved one and unbelieving loved one I dare to start complaining about him and start to prophesy now listen to me I have seen this happen with family members and with close relatives that you don't know nothing is going out of the gift of the word of knowledge together the word of wisdom and the gift of discerning of spirits are powerful family tools there are things going on in your children's lives in your siblings life that you don't know and one of the things we gotta stop acting like is because we relate it to people that we know everything they went through I'm talking to you we have got to it as a family dysfunction too implies it because somebody is your sister or your brother that you know their stories particularly in the african-american context we have been trained to hide so we don't deal with molestation say Amen or I'll get louder we'll deal with rate we'll deal with none of that stuff and sometimes it's in the family I believe the Spirit of God can make you sensitive to changes in your children sensitive to things that have happened maybe your sister and give or your brother and give it your mama or your daddy a hard time maybe they've got a break that you know nothing about and if you believe God to speak to you about strangers you can talk to you about your kids and I believe the Lord can show you where your kids are going in their adult life so you can know how to parent them appropriately there is no more powerful parenting than prophetic parenting if you look at your child by the spirit and ask the Lord hears or purpose you now have a paradigm for accurate parenting how y'all went wrong was parenting how you were parented that's how the cycle got on you if you wanna push a curse do what was done to you finally in this segment at least you have prophetic worship you have prophetic worship the singers are prophetic if you've ever seen what pastor Todd did today to me it's proof that he belongs in this River it is it is it is abnormal that it's not a usual thing and we're not gonna take that lightly over here it is a very unusual thing to be able to act wheel access God's presence and know what he's feeling and what he's wanting sing it out that's not a normal thing in the Bible the Bible says that men would prophesy upon the heart they would purpose on organs and keyboards in other words there is a realm of instrumentation that can convey what God is saying revelations 1910 says worship God for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy that's what Paul was talking about in 1st Corinthians 14 if worship is in the room everybody can hear hear when I said if worship was in the room everybody can hear if I were you the next time God's presence is in the room if you are able I would start listening that's how you learn to be led nobody can be led beyond their ability to listen you following God is a matter of how well you hear from him and what his presence is in the room that is an opportune moment to try to hear what he's saying sometimes we run the risk of being so bitterly emotional when God is in the room now God gave you them emotions stop letting people preach you out of them it's okay to weep and fall and roll and snot and all that when God is in the room but every now and then I would open my ear to say is there anything you want me to hear if I was too distracted yesterday at work or ironing or laundry right now you got my attention what are you saying in my days when I wake up before I ask God anything I quiet my soul and I try to see if there are any instructions for the day now I know that may seem like a lot to you and you're really responsible but here's a deal I don't know where an accident is plan Noah's plan for a fire I don't know none of that so if the Lord has already seen what my days look like it makes sense that I would ask him if there is something or somebody I should avoid today many of you would not have had a one-night stand if you to ask the Lord should I go here or not they don't want to hear this dr. Monique you look at somebody and say God shut up is this you he told you amen I have heard God speak very clearly about stuff go here turn there don't go down this road don't take this job come on how many of you have ever pressed into God for decision-making I want to get to this but I just feel like to let to pray over this I declare your decision-making is getting stronger I declare that the spirit of wisdom is coming on to you for prudent decisions for wise decisions to be timely and efficient in your decisions I'm declaring over you that the spirit of indecision is breaking off of your life and that you are moving into decisive phases in your life concerning your career concerning your purpose even concerning your relationship there is a power to make good decisions coming on you to I receive that now how many of you are now listen finally I got a lot more and two teachers would really take a year but then one of the final earmarks of a prophetic church is a burden for social justice if you have God's heart and you know God's mind you're going to respond to the human condition so because we move in warfare and prayer and worship and we hear from God God gives prophetic people are paying concerning social justice so you're gonna notice a time when I say a prophetic Church you know what most people think the latter a movement where people just sit together it fall out in the spirit and get back up no that's not prophetic that's goofy what real prophetic do is respond to the needs of the world if I can hear I can help you understand so what happens is prophetic people are always assigned to social justice issues and that's bigger than a political party here by the Spirit of God if you study the prophets and the prophetic books diligently Jeremiah Ezekiel Amos they would always cry out concerning social issues for the oppressed the poor the fatherless the widow they even had stuff about filthy water so if you are looking for an assignment for your life there's a lot of things in the social justice realm that could come to you if you develop the ability to hear from the Lord and once you start listening to God he will highlight who your people is woo let your hands father I'm praying that in the next phase of their life that they would have an eye for their audience help them to see who they are anointed for hey don't let it be like in other seasons where they spread themselves thin trying to be anointed in every area but give them a specific miss and exactness give them a round much sensitivity to who you're calling them for and begin to burn through them answers and solutions and programs and companies even books man that is so even literature and writings for their market audience let them see that this is not just a matter of research but it is a matter of the mantle upon them show them who they are assigned to and help them to excel in that assignment say that is so that's why it's important as anointed as you are you are not that anointed you know what that means you're not called to everybody now you may be called your effectiveness is going to vary for who hears you and for who you're burdened about there are certain issues along the social justice round that other people can look over and you cannot you're losing sleep over the issue of adoption and other people are not all that's so sad there's some of you that hear about sex trafficking and hear about police brutality and it bang it pains you there are certain issues and here's how you find out your assignment find out what you can't talk about for long without crying to start talking about things that you're passionate about and the moment when tears come up you'll know that's what God has broken you for there are certain issues that I cannot talk about very long without being immediately gripped in my inner man about the need for some of you is going to be leadership for some of you is going to be the nation's for some of you it's going to be women for some of you is gonna be families for some of you is gonna be government but whatever grip she was going to show up in the seat of your emotions okay hey man so we are prophetic house it's what we do when we ordained we do it in the biblical sense so you're not going to see I left my robe at home saying my hat and my cape so I'll bring it out never but I I want what we do is after the biblical model we lay hands and we Commission people yeah I think it's irresponsible one of the problems with the ministries that we see in the body of Christ today is the irreverent nature by which we ordained them for example I do not believe it is biblical to license somebody to ministry after a trial sermon without no specific instructions on what they're supposed to be doing when I got ordained it was almost like I got a certificate about granted it was like good luck it was a you go see inter rapture no instructions no details amen when you're stepping into an official responsibility with every Commission there is instructions you should never receive a commission without instructions it's like that and so what we're witnessing today is powerful and we're gonna continue to show you how to do this I really believe in my heart churches all I have hold times of prophetic presbytery and here's why their gifts in you that you don't know of don't act and live like you know everything that's in you God God is wise he's not going to show you everything that's in you he clocks a lot of the stuff that's in you based upon your ability to receive it so there are some abilities that are in you that if God knows you're not gonna treat him well he won't show them to you yet but what happens is through the power of the prophetic word God will begin to stir abilities in you that you did not know that you were going to have and here is my favorite prophetic myth to debunk all the prophets love this one how many of your non prophetic family members of church members and told you that prophecy should confirm what God already told you have you heard their foolishness it should already bear witness with what you've heard in your own spirit seriously where have you heard that prophecy ain't nothing but confirmation first of all most people don't hear from God like that and ain't listening to him second of all it is not biblical Mary didn't know she was gonna give birth to the Messiah David didn't know he was going to be king there are more Elijah didn't know he was Elijah's replacement it was all surprises to him if you think that prophecy only confirms what you're manifesting is pride what you're saying is I won't control over what's about to be said oh you don't want to hear that a yielded man is okay with being caught off guard but when people have pride they want to be able to imagine what God is going to say some of the hardest instructions of my life I did not see it coming the next time I tell you don't let but agree with your spirit first of all we got to see which spirit is operating in you that's not before you stop prophesy we got to take you through deliverance right get this Pierce has schizophrenia bipolar and low self-esteem jealousy envy witchcraft comparison and here thought about of you so we can know you're not listening to your ancestors and the Holy Ghost [Applause] there's a lot of voices that's in the world that you've got to learn how to distinguish and one of them is the voice of regret it's a loud voice your culture has a voice your ethnicity has a voice your background has a voice and you've got to learn how to train yourself to hear God beyond that well where do I start this is a lot where you start is this the Word of God because God sounds like his word and and if you're not skilled in the Bible you're not gonna know God's tone and what he's saying there's some things that I've seen people promise other people that could not have been God i'ma tell you the story it's a true story there was a prophet I'm saying that in quotation marks cuz I don't believe the man has a prophetic bone in his body but there is a prophet who came to town once and he was you know those guys normally they strongly move in the gifts of the Spirit around money time so as one of those things where was time for the offering and all of a sudden he had words of knowledge also uh uh Antonette you supposed to keep a thousand dollars a Jeffrey you supposed to give ten thousand dollars come on up here and I'll lay hands and they were fooling for it typically took because when people are in need of provision they have a desperation that makes it easy to deceive them so this guy was doing this prophetic stuff and somebody walked out during the offering somebody got up I don't know whether it was to use the washroom or to do it and he told the woman on the way out because you walked out during my offering you're gonna lose your job tomorrow now the room did just like that night hallelujah but that's why it's easy to manipulate people who are ignorant because somebody who is skilled in the Bible would have known first of all that's witchcraft okay let's do that let's just start there okay that's witchcraft okay and God what if the ladies kidney was broke what what if a kid just got in a car accident God's gonna judge her cuz she got to go to the toilet he made the body why he get judged so there is a lot of error in the prophetic but the only reason that error is there is because is because people won't teach it they teach around it so because they don't teach it directly people don't know exactly how to deal with here is another one and this is going to be a fallacy and I know a soft spot for you and then me and prophetess Katie gonna walk these out okay here's another one you ready for this and then we don't lay hands on these ministries I am a parking lot prophet have you ever been told by a non prophetic pastor then he don't fool with parking lot prophecies uh-uh I don't do all that don't come to me you got to promise out at me at the altar but let me ask a question what's the difference between giving you a word here and giving you a word there the issue is not where it's done it's the training and I can prove it in Matthew 4 Jesus prophesied of the water fountain the woman at the issue the woman came up to him to get water they weren't in the synagogue and Jesus said where's your husband she said I ain't got one he said you got that right ma'am you've had about five and oh boy you would not ain't it either and what the woman of God says she humbled herself y'all wouldn't see it they don't agree with my spirit I deserve to be loved that woman a Gaga - honey - says sir I perceive you our prophet Jean invite that wasn't in church I think the prophetic is probably most useful in the street so if you have knowledge on the prophetic you can reject what's off but then I don't think you should have parameters on where one of the most amazing prophetic words I got from my life who was in dailies restaurant on 63rd in college girl seriously God knew he had to talk to me there cuz I wasn't listening to people at church I'm not gonna walk past a smoking room and didn't listen to you talk to me praise the Lord so I had to wait amen so there's a lot of myths around it but I want to encourage you to learn to hear from God and learn to speak this my favorite person to prophesy to who you think it is thank you cuz you submit it it's me I literally love to prophesy to myself when my emotions are crazy when my mind is going crazy when I'm mad at angry this stuff don't just work for y'all I would be dumb to make my gifts only work for you you know what I do I look myself in the mirror stir myself up ok here's what the Lord is saying unto you come on now I know you think that's crazy but some of us talk to ourselves anyway come up y'all you do it anyway okay you might well give yourself a word from the Lord my grandma how do you have full-blown conversations with yourself and listen I know when it happened we all get ready to cuss somebody out you'd be out of line I can't wait to get on the phone now how dare you think you're talking to me like that after everything we've done and I've been do that like you and their mama don't even know what you were talking about it I'm the one that kept you people even know how to be Lord this way right and you stop at y'all no it's true we talk to ourself anyway if you're gonna talk to yourself why not prophesy to yourself the Bible said David encouraged himself in the Lord and sometimes you need to know what God is saying to you and gave myself a lot of words I mean hands and on lay hands on myself seriously it ought to work for you look at somebody say it ought to work for you
