Prophetic Stewardship - Morris Ruddick

Morris Ruddick

"Operating in the prophetic requires first hearing from God. However, when we hear from God another key required layer is the issue of alignment and seeing things from the stance of what God is doing. It is becoming a participator in His destiny-shaping purposes and agendas. It is entering a dimension of God's big-picture beyond ourselves

Sometimes we can get the big-picture without seeing how God is getting us there. So, operating in prophetic requires a continual checking-in with Him for the "interims." That's because none of us are  at the place to where we don't need guidance for the next step, despite our best and most valiant efforts to do so

One of the hardest things to learn is to NOT force issues. The flip side of that is holding steady when you don't yet see the change in the natural. Yet, faith and faithfulness are determined by those who grasp what is underway in the unseen world.

When we are in a place where there is something that God is doing that we haven't fully or even partially discerned, it represents a place of vulnerability. Well intentioned people unwittingly walk into cross-fires of judgment by yielding to the flesh in these interims.

Prophetic stewardship requires keeping one's spiritual antennas high and, when provoked over something, to back off until you hear specifically what the Lord has to say about it."
