Learning To Prophesy

Now Think On This

Steve Martin

“I wish you would all speak in tongues, but even more I wish you would all prophesy. The person who prophesies is greater than the person who speaks in tongues, unless someone gives an interpretation, so that the congregation can be edified.” 1 Corinthians 14:5 CJB

The apostle Paul taught in 1 Corinthians about the gifts of the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh). In his teaching, he outlined the nine supernatural gifts, and gave instruction on how to grow in the use of them. Some would say that the gifts, miracle and other supernatural acts of God finished in the first century, after Scriptures were written. Many have been taught that we do not need them anymore, as we have the complete Word of God in the Bible.

Really? God stopped speaking after 100 A.D.? Did you tell Him that today?

I for one am very grateful for the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues and other gifts He has given to His people, for encouragement, instruction, direction and all else that the Lord God of Israel wants to do and say. Today.

In our local church, MorningStar Ministries, led by Rick Joyner, with many other men and women, there are conferences held usually once a month, if not more. I went to one entitled the “50+ Joshua and Caleb Generation”, with John Boneck, one of the pastors, heading it up. As you may have gotten in the title, for those of us over the age of 50 attended.

Different training sessions were offered over the three day gathering. I had selected the Prophetic Training Session, desiring to grow in one of the gifts the Lord has given me, and many, many others who attended those sessions. Just common people like you and I.

Here is what I had received and written down in regards to the 2^nd session on that Friday morning. (I used a vacation day from my accounting job to attend.)

Setting: During the Prophetic Training Session on Friday morning, April 4, 2014 at the 50+ Joshua & Caleb Generation Conference at MorningStar Ministries in Fort Mill, SC, we were given a sheet of paper with a place to write down a revelation received and the interpretation on it, on the front side, at the end of the first teaching of the two hour session. We were then instructed to put our name on the BACK side, which was blank. Then all the papers at our table (eight people were seated) were put in the middle of the table and shuffled for later, with the individual names placed down, so we didn’t know whose name was there.

At the end of this portion of the session, during which we were taught on how we can receive revelation, we were given one of the papers, not knowing whose name was on the other side. We prayed, and asked the Lord for a revelation for that “named, unknown to us” person. Once we received something, we were to write it down. The same thing was repeated after the one hour teaching portion of the session, on receiving interpretation, had followed.

Once both sessions were done, we were told to turn the paper over, find the name of the person on the back, and give it to them.

When I got the paper back that I had written my name on the back, now with writing on it from someone else at the table, here is what the person had written down. Again, they had no idea whose name was on the back, but had asked the Lord to give a revelation and interpretation.

In the revelation section they had written:

“Business anointing, gift of holy laughter. Teacher. Obstacles in your path – you take with a grain of salt. Hearing is believing in your relationship with the Lord. Sour – there is something that you have endured that has left a sour taste in your mouth.”

Then in the interpretation section:

“You have a presence on the stage that God has put you on. You use joy to command the stage. You do not show fear as to bolster those you are talking to and others that share your job  - that instill the wrong ideals from their platform. They leave you sour but you do try to teach your peers your way.”

Later I found out that the one who wrote it was a man named Mark Yow from Wilmington, NC. I met him and he helped me read his writing. I told his words were 100% right! I also briefly shared about my accounting job uptown Charlotte and who I worked with.

I also mentioned that the words “business” and “teacher” were right on.

The Lord desires to speak to people all the time in our day. He is sharing His heart to those with ears to hear - to encourage, bless and give direction. I appreciate prophetic ministry!

May you seek the Lord too, for “Jesus Christ (Yeshua HaMashiach) is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Hebrews 13:8 NASU. He wants you to know Him even more.
