Activations

 

Activating the prophetic activations usually works better when they are: fun, simple, and l quick. 

 Advanced Activation Exercises: the difference between a wolf and the wounded, what are activations.                     Growing in The Prophetic This collection contains exercises best done with a group with some prophetic experience as these exercises combine aspects of the primary and intermediate activations. They tend to be much closer to prophetic ministry as it may occur in a group or even congregational context and empower us to flow with others in corporate settings. Activate Your Mantle our by Expressing Your Faith It is essential to raise up generals instead of soldiers., which raises important and challenging questions that deserve debate. The nation needs more generals; we have soldiers; however, soldiers do not think when the war is Generals that. When the war General prepares for the next war, they never put their guard down. PROPHETIC ACTIVATION EXERCISES Description: The purpose of this activation exercise is simply to allow the Holy Spirit to lead us in what we pray over someone as He gives us the thoughts and information in our spirit for and about that person. As sons (and daughters) of God, this should be our goal anyway, according to Romans 8:13-14. Repeat this exercise with five different people. Purpose To allow the participant the opportunity to develop a sensitivity to the "voice" of the Holy Spirit. The goal is to create a relaxed attitude and confidence in perceiving the "leading" of the Holy Spirit in prayer for another person. Exercise: Find someone that has agreed to allow you to pray for them. The person praying is asked to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit simply, bless the person they are praying for, and share what they are sensing. Remember to follow the “prophetic protocol” you learned in the video sessions. Scriptural Foundation: The Holy Spirit knows what our personal needs are. In this exercise, you extend your faith to pray for someone believing that the Holy Spirit will lead us in our praying according to Romans 8:26-27. “And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we do not know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will.” No believer is perfect, and it is OK to make a mistake. Just know that we all learn by doing. Step 1: Pray in the Spirit: Praying in the Spirit acts as a catalyst to receive the mind of Christ so that our human spirit can receive thoughts, impressions, pictures, etc., from the Holy Spirit. Step 2: Be Still: Once you are silent, give yourself about 60 seconds and “tune in” to the Spirit and pay attention to what you are sensing in your spirit. If you are a "seer," you will see pictures in your mind. These pictures may require interpretation, but just go ahead and share what you see even if you feel you know have the interpretation. If you are a "hearer," you will "hear" what the Spirit says. This will not usually be an audible voice, but for some of you, it could be - on rare occasions. Once you hear, you. Simply pray what you hear the Spirit saying to you for the prayer recipient. If You are a "knower/feeler," you just seem to know something, and it feels right. It is like a built-in sense of "what is." If you are a knower, you will recognize this pattern. If you are a feeler, you may feel something or a sensation in your body that might lead you to pray for healing in the person's body where you feel the to activate something is to start it off, trigger it or set it in motion. Prophetic activations are spiritual exercises that use words, actions, phrases, objects, Scripture verses, worship songs and dance, prophetic prayers, and more to trigger the prophetic gifts. Activations help believers in every area of life and ministry flow freely as they are commissioned to release God's Word in the earth. They set in motion prophetic utterances, songs, and movements that bring great blessing to the members of local churches, ministries, and the world.

Activations are designed to break down the barriers of fear, doubt, timidity, and ignorance that hinder people from operating in prophecy. They also provide people with an opportunity to minister—some for the first time—in a safe and loving environment.

Activations rekindle and fan the flame of ministries that have become stagnant in the prophetic flow. We all need times of rekindling and reignition. Prophetic activations will reignite believers and churches to prophesy.

Motionless churches need to be set in motion. Prophetic activations can get us moving again.

"Therefore, I remind you to stir up the gift of God, which is in you by the laying on of my hands" (2 Tim. 1:6, MEV).

 They activated, trained, confirmed, and launched us in prophetic gifts and ministry. Since then, I have seen the growth of our prophetic groups and teams over the years. However, there have been times when we have become stagnant, and we have had to break through to another level. But we knew how to use the activations to stir up our gifts and bring revival when needed.

Now I travel all over the world—alone or with my prophetic team—activating believers in prophetic ministry. Some of those in the prophetic ministry at my Church have become so strong in the prophetic anointing that they have launched their own international ministries. They, too, travel the world preaching and teaching and activating and releasing prophets among the nations. God is always challenging us to come higher and expand more.

There are many creative ways to activate believers. I have placed over 100 of them, organized into categories, throughout the chapters of my book, Prophetic Activation. Activations should be fun and straightforward. Saints should enjoy moving in the things of the Spirit. People of all ages can be involved.

Activations bring new excitement to any church, and they can be a catalyst for revival and glory.

The value of different activations are that they break your limitations and allow you to operate differently. Do not be limited to your favorite way but move in different ways and administrations. The prophetic anointing must never become boring and routine but should always be exciting and new. God has many surprises for us, and the prophetic anointing will continually release new things.

With the diversity of gifts present in the body of Christ, activations are essential because we want to see people operate correctly and accurately in their unique prophetic anointing. We do not want to release people who could potentially do damage and harm to others. We need training—and sometimes correction—in operating in prophecy.

Activations provide a safe environment to help people learn how to operate in excellence in this crucial area. Although prophecy comes from God, it is released through human vessels, and therefore it can be tainted and sometimes delivered inaccurately. As 2 Corinthians 4:7 says, "we have this treasure in earthen vessels." Prophetic activations are not designed to make everyone a prophet—only God can call and commission a prophet.

Activations are simply designed to stir people to grow at whatever level they are called to. There may be people participating and leading activations who are prophets, some with the gift of prophecy, and some who have the spirit of prophecy due to being filled with the Holy Ghost. Still, they are also maybe people who are psalmists, minstrels, intercessors, counselors, preachers, teachers, and dancers. Activations will stir them and cause them all to move more in faith and inspiration.

Prophetic activations will raise the prophetic level in a church, region, or territory. This level is measured by how many mature prophets are ministering in a region, how many believers are operating prophetically in a region, how many churches are operating in prophetic ministry in a region, and the level of prophetic intercession and worship in a region.

The Prophet Samuel is an example of how one person can influence a region. When Samuel was born, there was no prophetic activity in the nation (1 Sam. 3:1). By the time Samuel anointed Saul, there were companies of prophets ministering (1 Sam. 10). In 1 Samuel 19, we find Samuel at Naioth in Ramah standing over the prophets. The prophetic atmosphere was so intense that everyone who came into this atmosphere began to prophesy. Samuel was responsible for developing emerging prophets in Israel. The Bible does not give us the details of this training.

There probably was musical and scriptural training involved and possibly impartation from Samuel into the prophets' lives. Samuel brought prophetic ministry to a new level in Israel, who outlived him and continued in generations to come. This is what I intend to do by releasing to you these activations that have been so instrumental in my personal walk with Christ and the life of my Church. 

Contaminate the garden of Eden. It with continue acts of sin. They belong to Him even in their sin, God's intention within it. God's Love is shown through God's mercy, the demonstration of God's compassion that never fails us... God's signature should be all over us. God's Love makes us inseparable from Him, making us eager to know Him and love Him and be into Him. Only to desire more of Him. From that period on, prophetic ministry is a function of the church body who recognized that the release of God's power came from being under authority. Your God essence you will desire is he Son and God the Holy ghost secure, but the Love for God the Father. 

There are differences in the army of the Lord, but there is only one Mantle all Christians must wear and that is putting on the Mantle of Christ.                                                                                            

Generals have a better chance to win any wars. Generals win more wars. The critical relationship and the impact of the kind of war being fought. As leaders in the church, we tend to lose the wars that come in our everyday lives. As women and men of God, we fight the good fight of faith but only as in the soldiers level instead of fighting as General. 

The success of wartime generals often depend upon the degree of openness and effectiveness in any war. Of personalities and who should fire whom sometimes obscures this essential fact. Generalship occurs within the boundaries set by strategy and policy. In discourse with political leaders, generals can affect both, but the degree is often limited. Sometimes generals are inadequate; the same is true of political leaders. Both sides in this relationship must be respectful of the other's role and experience; without it, the probability of wartime success diminishes. In the last decade, this relationship has had more downs than ups.

Additionally, success is relatively straightforward in a conventional war, as is spiritual warfare, force as the means to that success, so too is generalship. In our current wars, success is much less clear, and the means to success necessarily includes both the use of military and non-military forces. Even well-used military forces and the church have insufficient soldiers. t. Any assessment of the performance of those in the church has power, and the elements of power must conclude a relationship with God., with a few exceptions, our God will. 

Strategize us by sending us his Spirit-given knowledge through tactical. Raises some fundamental questions.

The church system produces soldiers when we need generals the nation needs? Are we in an "incentive system" created by too many risk-averse generals? Army generals overly focused on tactics and too rigid in applying doctrine? To what degree did transformation prepare us for this war. Army for today's wars? Are all, or some, Army generals too slow to learn and adapt om the church because the leaders draw the line of their teaching tactic because no one wants to teach anyone to be better than them.? What is the relationship of tactical battlefield performance to success as a general? These questions are fundamental to the Army, for its training, education, and leadership will cause our development to produce colonels of church able to stand and having done all to stand. Army systems select the colonels who become generals and the generals who serve as senior leaders. Corps even among those of us retired. All have opinions. A healthy organization is introspective, questions itself, and adapts from what it learns. In my view, the Army is such an organization. Even so, The Generals' provocative contents need serious debate so that our military and civilian strategic leaders can better serve the nation together. None will agree with everything in it, but all military professionals and civilians working in the national security arena should read Ricks' book.

 

           As you build your faith through feeding your mind and heart with God's Word (Romans 10:17), the anointing touch of Jesus Christ becomes activated. Look at the story of the two blind men in the Bible who cried out to Jesus, "Son of David, have mercy on us" (Matthew 9:27). They were calling Him the Christ, the Messiah, the Anointed One. Jesus asked the blind men if they believed He could do this miracle. He wanted to hear them speak their faith since He knew He was anointed to give "recovering of sight to the blind" (Luke 4:18 KJV). Or consider the leper who came to Jesus and said, "If you are willing, you can heal me and make me clean." The leper was making a faith demand on Jesus’ Activation Exercises. Prophetic activation exercises are meant to equip Prophets with practical tools for hearing the voice of God. Eventually, you will be able to utilize those tools in every sort of situation: during ministry time at your local church, in everyday life conversations with others, while writing emails or only praying for others in your private time with the Lord. They will help you flow in the prophetic in your everyday life. Often, we fail to hear God's voice because we do not know how God speaks to us. 

               Predictive activities broaden our understanding and sensitivities to the way God uses us to talk to us. Prophetic activation exercises are small group activities with the primary purpose of practicing to hear God's voice and to grow in the prophetic by ministering prophetically to one another. 

               They focus on equipping through practice, although short teachings and responses to questions will be an irreplaceable part of them. Since no basic background knowledge is necessary, they are suitable for beginners and advanced in the prophetic.

 

 

               This is the only way to tell true or false prophet if it does not activate, it just is not.   

               

               Basic Activation Exercises – Activating the Prophetic This is a list of some basic activation exercises which are suitable to start with. They also resemble the most common channels through which God talks to us.  

               Most of those exercises focus on one specific channel of how God talks to us. We need to realize that we are not limiting God by practicing but sensitizing ourselves to ways to grow more comfortable and confident in them. Still, we do not want to pick our favorite way long-term. Although God may use one or another way more for a season, limiting ourselves to our favorite method will eventually cause us to miss much of what He has to say. In His creation, God likes to use all kinds of ways to talk to us.   

 

           

           Activity 2: Practice Encouraging • Ask the group to partner up. Lead them to partner with someone they came with or know well. • Remind them that the prophetic is 'encouragement under the anointing.' Have them encourage (not prophesy over) the person they are partnered with. Demonstrate with a partner at the front. • Get feedback. o Who feels encouraged. Ask if that felt comfortable, fun, challenging. Who everything to continue to lower anxiety and make it fun? If it feels too pressurized, they will hesitate to step out again. 

           Activity 3: Pink Elephant • Have everyone in the room close their eyes. Ask them to picture or imagine a pink elephant. Have them raise their hands when they can imagine a pink elephant. • Once everyone's hands are raised, explain this screen is one of the places God speaks to us. Remind them that there are different ways God speaks. • For the next exercise, explain that we will ask God to use our sanctified imagination and show us a picture in the same space we 'saw' the Pink Elephant. Activity 4: Ask God Simple Questions • Explain why, when, and how that we ask questions to get to know ourselves as well as Him.

 

 

 

                       Repeat the exercise with multiple volunteers. Activity 8: Words of Knowledge • Have everyone make two lines like a fire tunnel. For a large group, it may be a big double circle around the room. If you were previously doing an exercise where they had a partner, have them face their partner in the line. • Then have everyone on one side turn around and close their eyes. Have those with their eyes open silently move around and find a new person to stand behind. Once they are with someone, have them put a finger lightly on the person's shoulder. • If many people have those with their eyes closed who DO NOT have someone lightly touching their shoulder, raise their hand. Then have people find someone who still has their hand raised. • Once everyone is partnered up, explain that the person with their eyes closed will ask God a series of questions and remember the answers. 

           We usually pick five questions that will be right or wrong, like o Is the person standing behind me male or female? o What color top is he wearing? o What month is her birthday? o What date is her birthday? o What does he love to do? Leading & Activating Others in the Supernatural, Steve & Ruth Moore o What color eyes does he have?  

 

Activations for pairs:

           The group is divided into pairs, then gives everyone a question to ask God about their partner. Give them a limited time to get an answer. After 30 seconds or a minute, get people to share their answers with their partners. Finding a partner: I try to get group members into pairs or small groups when doing an activation. They provide energy and inspiration for group dynamics. Most times, they can be done in pairs, sometimes in larger groups. 

           It this also essential to ask for short feedback or a brief testimony at the end of the game. When you are creative with this, and people have fun, without it taking too much time or focusing away from doing the activations, it helps relax people. It gets them feeling easier about trying new activations. After each question, I get people to find a new partner using a different method, so I have a few matching people ready.

           Key points to remember:

As with any prophetic activations, there are a couple of key points to emphasize. Make sure you only speak what is encouraging, informative, or comforting.

Prophetic activation exercises are small group activities with the primary purpose of practicing to hear God's voice and to grow in the prophetic by ministering prophetically to one another. They focus on equipping through practice, although short teachings and responses to questions will be an irreplaceable part of them. Since no basic background knowledge is necessary, they are suitable for beginners and advanced in the prophetic.

Practice in small groups creates a place where such things become normal. We can grow in confidence and experience aspects of God's kingdom that are not always a reality in our home church. Therefore, they are a good way to establish a prophetic culture.

Positive prophetic experiences in a safe environment cause our faith to grow and equip us to walk in our gifts in other places with the expectancy that God is going to move through us.

Often, we fail to hear God's voice because we do not know how God speaks to us. 

Prophetic activities broaden our understanding and sensitivities to the Way God uses to talk to us.

Prophetic activation exercises are meant to equip with practical tools for hearing the voice of God. 

Eventually, you will be able to utilize those tools in every sort of situation: during ministry time at your local church, in everyday life conversations with others, while writing emails or simply praying for others in your private time with the Lord. They will help you flow in the prophetic in your everyday life.

Most importantly, prophetic activation groups provide a place where you can hear the voice of a loving God who so desires to share His love with us. In those places, we experience how much He loves us while we minister to others and others minister to us. This will tremendously refresh. 

 

   And deepen our personal relationship with God. Becoming a friend of God, being able to hear His voice and having real conversations with Him – that is what it is all about.

Basic Activation Exercises – Activating the Prophetic

This is a list of some basic activation exercises which are good to start with. They also resemble the most common channels through which God talks to us.

Most of those exercises focus on one specific channel of how God talks to us. We need to realize that we are not limiting God by doing so in practice but sensitizing ourselves to specific ways to grow more comfortable and confident in them. 

 

Still, we do not want to pick our favorite way long-term. Although God may use one or another way more for a season, limiting ourselves to our favorite method will eventually cause us to miss much of what He has to say. In His creation, God likes to use all kinds of ways to talk to us.

Using Categories – Choose a certain category as a guideline for this group exercise (e.g., colors). Then everyone asks God what specific item within this category the person on their right represents (for instance, color → red) and then asks Him why (prophetic interpretation).

Basically, we ask 1) Jesus, what color is the other person like? 2) Why? What does that mean? What do You want to communicate? It is found that this is the Easiest Way to get started in the prophetic for those who are completely new because it already limits the options down to a few. Often, we do not hear God's voice because we do not tune in. 

Limiting the options helps us know what to tune in and what we can expect God to talk to us about. However, reducing the first step choices does not narrow down what God eventually says in the second step. This is not manipulating God. It is taking the first steps. A toddler is still walking even though he is holding onto the hand of the father. It is completely the same here.   It is a prophetic “walking aid,” and God knows we need it, especially in the beginning. Biblical categories: book of the Bible (NT/OT), the person of the Bible, spiritual gifts (Rom 12; 1 Cor 12), five-fold ministry (Eph 4;11), psalm, four gospels, 12 tribes of Israel (Gen 49), ... Other categories: animal, color, season, weather, movie/comic character, form of water, fruit, room in a house, building, country, continent, state, ...

Scripture – Ask God that He would give you a Bible verse for the other person. Then ask Him for one specific aspect/word/part of this verse that He highlights for the one you minister to. Then ask Him what He wants to tell the other person through it.

One of the pitfalls of this option is that people start to preach the Word. We do not want to explain what the Bible verse means but what God wants to say through this verse to the other person. It is a prophetic exercise in which we want to hear the personal message on God's heart right now, specifically for the one we are ministering to.

Picture – Ask God to give you an inner picture (or vision = animated picture) for another person. Ask Him what He wants to tell them through it.

Emotional Feeling – Ask God to let you feel a certain emotion. Then ask God what it means for another person, what exactly He wants to say through that.

Physical Sensation – Ask God for a physical sensation and then what it means.

God often uses this Way to highlight body parts that He wants to heal in the one we are praying over. We might, for instance, feel a sudden light stinging pain in our left knee while praying for someone. 

God might want us to pray for the left knee of the other person. As you simply share it, do not be surprised when they confirm that they have complications with this specific body part. This happens very often because God likes to raise our faith through such an occasion.

Word of Knowledge – This means we want God to give us a specific word or phrase for the other person – like a word suddenly popping into our minds. This can be anything and talk about anything (for example, a street name, a number, one single word, a sentence, even a song). In a second step, ask God what He wants to tell the other person through it.

 

 

Do not forget that it can have literal and/or symbolic meaning God can refer to past, present, and/or future. Sometimes it can be enough to share what we got and the person we are ministering to will directly understand what it means, especially if we simply do not seem to get an interpretation.

Even though God likes symbolism and enjoys speaking even through extraordinary things, do not get weird here.

Intermediate Activation Exercises – Improving the Prophetic

The purpose of these intermediate exercises are to progress in the use of the prophetic. They are based on the basic methods, we have learned in the previous chapter but intend to help us improve specific areas of the prophetic (which is underlined in each description).

Anyway – Here simply all the above methods (the basics) are applicable. The purpose of this exercise it to help us stay sensitive to multiply channels at the same time as we eventually do not want to limit our focus to one single Way while ministering prophetically.

Favorite Way Excluded – This exercise is remarkably like the last one, but here every one is asked to purposefully exclude the channel through which they hear God speak most easily. As mentioned earlier, we all are tempted to pick our favorite method. 

      Activating Others in the Supernatural, Help create a safe place for them to practice. Share stories where you got it right and wrong and celebrated every time, they take a risk. You can do the group activations from the next section or one of the following: o Pick a friend on your Facebook that they do not know. Show them the profile picture and ask them to describe your friend. Activating Others in the Supernatural, Help create a safe place for them to practice. Share stories where you got it right and wrong and celebrated every time, they take a risk. You can do the group activations from the next section or one of the following: o Pick a friend on your Facebook that they do not know. Show them the profile picture and ask them to describe your friend. 

Point out that what they may have thought was good intuition is prophetic. Give feedback and ask increasingly specific questions. Help them learn when they are guessing and when they are hearing God. Do the exercise, too, so that you can model risk and be comfortable with getting it wrong. We are all learning! o Call your friend and ask each other questions like, "Did you have ...... for dinner?" "Is your mother's birthday ......?" o in group situations when you are out and about, spur each other on to get encouraging words for people. Celebrate no matter how small or simple your friend might think their Word is. • Continue to share with them how you hear God and share the prophetic testimonies to create an expectancy and hunger for it. Activities to Lead a Church/Group in a Prophetic Activation Before you start, ask the leader.

ACTIVATE Partnering up the room can be where you lose people can be chaotic if you do not manage the space well. o Ask everyone to put one hand in the air. 

Ask people to partner up quietly and quickly with someone they do or do not know well, depending on the activity. Ask both partners to lower their hands when they have found a partner. o Help partner up those with their hands still in the air either by giving instructions from the stage or having your team assist. 

If you still have people looking for partners, invite them all to come to the Church's front and partner them up easily and quickly from there. Before you explain the activity, ask one last time if anyone still needs a partner. If there is one person left, you can partner them with you or one of your team. 

IMPORTANT: Make sure you have everyone's attention, and the room is silent before moving on. • Have they number themselves 1 and 2. • Explain that they are going to ask God: "If my partner were an animal, what animal would they be and why?" o Make sure they know the question is NOT "What animal do they look like?" 

Positive characteristics of that animal to encourage the person. • Give an example over someone from the front. Remind them - you are not telling them the animal! The reason we do this is to give them a tool they can use with anyone. People at work or out on the streets would be confused if they open their encouragement with, "You are like a monkey." o Explain everything we are doing is training for both inside and outside the Church. • Have number 2's go first (to keep them guessing) and keep it light-hearted. • After a minute or so, ask them to wrap up their Word. • Have them give each other feedback in a way they would personally like to receive feedback.

Get feedback by asking, "Who got an encouraging word?" • Now have the number 1's go. We want to change up the question to something like, "If my partner was a household appliance, what would he be and why?" Again, this is an opportunity to make it fun and light-hearted, explaining in a fun way that the number 1's would have an animal picked out already. • Demonstrate again from the front and then follow the same steps as you did for the animal question, including getting feedback at the end. Activity 5: Swap an Object • Have everyone get an object they came with and hold it. • Partner the room up and have them number themselves 1 and 2. • Explain that they will swap their items with each other. 

They will each then take a turn prophesying over their partner using their partner's object. • Do a demonstration. • Have number 1's go first. After 1 minute, get everyone's attention and have number 2take a turn. Leading & Activating Others in the Supernatural, Steve & Ruth Moore • Get everyone's attention and encourage them to give feedback. • As with the activities above - get input from the room. Who was encouraged? o Who gave an encouraging word? 

Activity 6: White Board AND.... • Have everyone find a partner and number themselves 1 and 2. • Explain that in this activity, they are going to picture a whiteboard in their mind and ask God to show them something on it. 

This could be a word, picture, color, or anything He wants to show them. • Once they have shared what they say, they will add on the name 'AND.' This encourages them to go deeper in their prophetic Word and take a risk, trusting God to give them words. • Do a demonstration. • Give them around a minute to share their observations and encourage them to give each other feedback. • Get some input from the group, and if there is time, some testimonies.

 

Activity 7: Group Coaching (suitable for a small group or school typesetting) Ask for a volunteer. Have them sit or stand at the front. • Have everyone asked God for a prophetic word for the person at the show. • Ask for volunteers to share their prophetic words in front of the group. • Coach them on their terms and delivery. For example: help them with the terminology, keeping it positive, not speaking 'Christianese,' not saying 'thus says the Lord', staying free of dates, mates and Leading & Activating Others in the Supernatural, Steve & Ruth Moore’s babies, etc.

Do it all through encouragement and Love and celebrate their risk. Once 3-5 people have given words, get feedback from the person receiving the comments. o What made sense? o What stood out? • If you have time, you can repeat the exercise with multiple volunteers.

Activity 8: Words of Knowledge • Have everyone make two lines like a fire tunnel. For a large group, it may be a big double circle around the room. If you were previously doing an exercise where they had a partner, have them face their partner in the line. • Then have everyone on one side turn around and close their eyes. • Have those with their eyes open silently move around and find a new person to stand behind. 

Once they are with someone, have them put a finger lightly on the person's shoulder. If many people with their eyes closed, who DO NOT have someone lightly touching their shoulder, raise their hand. Then have people find someone who still has their hand raised. • Once everyone is partnered up, explain that the person with their eyes closed will ask God a series of questions and remember the answers. We usually pick five questions that will be right or wrong, like o Is the person standing behind me male or female? o What color top is he wearing? o What month is her birthday? o What date is her birthday? o What does he love to do? 

Is he leading & Activating Others in the Supernatural, Steve & Ruth Moore o What color eyes does he have? o What is her job? o What is his favorite movie? o What does her bedroom look like? o What is his mother's name? o What is her name?

Have them remember the answers and then turn around and share with the person what they heard. • Ask, "Who got one or more things wrong?" Then celebrate them taking a risk and getting it wrong! • Ask, "Who got one or more things right?" "2 or more?" "3 or more?" • Finally, encourage them to think about what things were right and what was wrong. Have them think about the different ways they got those answers to realize the difference between hearing God and guessing. 

Then have the other side of the line turn away and close their eyes. Have those with their eyes open find a new partner and repeat the previous steps. 

How to Cultivate a Prophetic Culture • Share testimonies of the prophetic. • Celebrate risks when people step out and not just outcomes. • Make practicing fun and not high stakes. • Provide lots of space for people to practice during meetings and gatherings. • Become a model for the people around to see what it looks like to be consistently encouraging. Jesus gave the apostles, the prophets Ephesians 4:11 No discussion of ecclesiology—the Church's doctrine—could be complete without considering the various offices that Christ has given to His Church. 

Upon My rock, I shall build My Church the rock of salvation.

As we look at the New Testament, we find at least seven offices revealed—Apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds, teachers, deacons, and elders or overseers (Eph. 4:11; 1 Tim. 3:1–13). We will consider deacons and elders in a few months when we look at the Protestant vocation doctrine. Today and tomorrow, we will briefly examine the other five offices. 

Point out that what they may have thought was good intuition is prophetic. Give feedback and ask increasingly specific questions. Help them learn when they are guessing and when they are hearing God. Do the exercise, too, so that you can model risk and be comfortable with getting it wrong. We are all learning! o Call your friend and ask each other questions like, "Did you have ...... for dinner?"

ACTIVATE Partnering up the room can be where you lose people can be chaotic if you do not manage the space well. o Ask everyone to put one hand in the air. 

Ask people to partner up quietly and quickly with someone they do or do not know well, depending on the activity. Ask both partners to lower their hands when they have found a partner. o Help partner up those with their hands still in the air either by giving instructions from the stage or having your team assist. 

If you still have people looking for partners, invite them all to come to the Church's front and partner them up easily and quickly from there. Before you explain the activity, ask one last time if anyone still needs a partner. If there is one person left, you can partner them with you or one of your team. 

IMPORTANT: Make sure you have everyone's attention, and the room is silent before moving on. • Have they number themselves 1 and 2. • Explain that they are going to ask God: "If my partner were an animal, what animal would they be and why?" o Make sure they know the question is NOT "What animal do they look like?" 

Positive characteristics of that animal to encourage the person. • Give an example over someone from the front. Remind them - you are not telling them the animal! The reason we do this is to give them a tool they can use with anyone. People at work or out on the streets would be confused if they open their encouragement with, "You are like a monkey." o Explain everything we are doing is training for both inside and outside the Church. • Have number 2's go first (to keep them guessing) and keep it light-hearted. • After a minute or so, ask them to wrap up their Word. • Have them give each other feedback in a way they would personally like to receive feedback.

Get feedback by asking, "Who got an encouraging word?" • Now have the number 1's go. We want to change up the question to something like, "If my partner was a household appliance, what would he be and why?" Again, this is an opportunity to make it fun and light-hearted, explaining in a fun way that the number 1's would have an animal picked out already. • Demonstrate again from the front and then follow the same steps as you did for the animal question, including getting feedback at the end. Activity 5: Swap an Object • Have everyone get an object they came with and hold it. • Partner the room up and have them number themselves 1 and 2. • Explain that they will swap their items with each other. 

They will each then take a turn prophesying over their partner using their partner's object. • Do a demonstration. • Have number 1's go first. After 1 minute, get everyone's attention and have number 2take a turn. Leading & Activating Others in the Supernatural, Steve & Ruth Moore • Get everyone's attention and encourage them to give feedback. • As with the activities above - get input from the room. Who was encouraged? o Who gave an encouraging word? 

Activity 6: White Board AND.... • Have everyone find a partner and number themselves 1 and 2. • Explain that in this activity, they are going to picture a whiteboard in their mind and ask God to show them something on it. 

This could be a word, picture, color, or anything He wants to show them. • Once they have shared what they say, they will add on the name 'AND.' This encourages them to go deeper in their prophetic Word and take a risk, trusting God to give them words. • Do a demonstration. • Give them around a minute to share their observations and encourage them to give each other feedback. • Get some input from the group, and if there is time, some testimonies.

 

Activity 7: Group Coaching (suitable for a small group or school typesetting) Ask for a volunteer. Have them sit or stand at the front. • Have everyone asked God for a prophetic word for the person at the show. • Ask for volunteers to share their prophetic words in front of the group. • Coach them on their terms and delivery. For example: help them with the terminology, keeping it positive, not speaking 'Christianese,' not saying 'thus says the Lord', staying free of dates, mates and Leading & Activating Others in the Supernatural, Steve & Ruth Moore’s babies, etc.

Do it all through encouragement and Love and celebrate their risk. Once 3-5 people have given words, get feedback from the person receiving the comments. o What made sense? o What stood out? • If you have time, you can repeat the exercise with multiple volunteers.

Activity 8: Words of Knowledge • Have everyone make two lines like a fire tunnel. For a large group, it may be a big double circle around the room. If you were previously doing an exercise where they had a partner, have them face their partner in the line. • Then have everyone on one side turn around and close their eyes. • Have those with their eyes open silently move around and find a new person to stand behind. 

Once they are with someone, have them put a finger lightly on the person's shoulder. If many people with their eyes closed, who DO NOT have someone lightly touching their shoulder, raise their hand. Then have people find someone who still has their hand raised. • Once everyone is partnered up, explain that the person with their eyes closed will ask God a series of questions and remember the answers. We usually pick five questions that will be right or wrong, like o Is the person standing behind me male or female? o What color top is he wearing? o What month is her birthday? o What date is her birthday? o What does he love to do? 

Is he leading & Activating Others in the Supernatural, Steve & Ruth Moore o What color eyes does he have? o What is her job? o What is his favorite movie? o What does her bedroom look like? o What is his mother's name? o What is her name?

Have them remember the answers and then turn around and share with the person what they heard. • Ask, "Who got one or more things wrong?" Then celebrate them taking a risk and getting it wrong! • Ask, "Who got one or more things right?" "2 or more?" "3 or more?" • Finally, encourage them to think about what things were right and what was wrong. Have them think about the different ways they got those answers to realize the difference between hearing God and guessing. 

Then have the other side of the line turn away and close their eyes. Have those with their eyes open find a new partner and repeat the previous steps. 

How to Cultivate a Prophetic Culture • Share testimonies of the prophetic. • Celebrate risks when people step out and not just outcomes. • Make practicing fun and not high stakes. • Provide lots of space for people to practice during meetings and gatherings. • Become a model for the people around to see what it looks like to be consistently encouraging. Jesus gave the apostles, the prophets Ephesians 4:11 No discussion of ecclesiology—the Church's doctrine—could be complete without considering the various offices that Christ has given to His Church. 

Upon My rock I shall build My Church the rock of 

salvation.

As we look at the New Testament, we find at least seven offices revealed—Apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds, teachers, deacons, and elders or overseers (Eph. 4:11; 1 Tim. 3:1–13). We will consider deacons and elders in a few months when we look at the Protestant vocation doctrine. Today and tomorrow, we will briefly examine the other five offices.

In the Church today, some pastors are called Apostles. Others identify as prophets. As we consider these claims, we should first note that the Protestant Reformers would find it odd that some claim to be Apostles and prophets today. John Calvin's comments on Ephesians 4:11 are representative: "Of the five offices which are here enumerated, not more than the last two are intended to be perpetual. Apostles, Evangelists and Prophets were bestowed on the Church for a limited time only—except in those cases where religion has fallen into decay, and evangelists are raised extraordinarily to restore the pure doctrine which had been lost."

The Apostolic and prophetic offices' nature explains why the Reformers believed that no Apostles or prophets lead the earthly Church today. As we look at the New Testament, we see a unique and foundational role for Apostles and prophets. Paul tells us these offices in Ephesians 2:20 make up the Church's foundation and Jesus Christ, the chief cornerstone. The Church's foundation is laid only once, and Paul and the other Apostles understood themselves to be applying that foundation with their instruction (1 Cor. 3:11). From this, we conclude that Apostle's office was of limited duration; once the foundation was laid, God stopped sending Apostles.

 

Prophets hold in common with Apostles the responsibility of delivering divinely revealed, authoritative. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It is not only an inner conviction impelled by an urgent and higher calling but also a supernatural ability to meet adverse circumstances with trust in God's words and messages.

The Bible speaks of several different types of faith which increase from faith to faith (Romans 1:17):

Saving faith - the faith which gets you into Heaven.

(Ephesians 2:8-9 Fruit of faith - the faith which gets Heaven into you (Galatians 5:22-23). The gift of faith stems from saving faith and the fruit of trust; it can believe for the miraculous. 

(II Thessalonians 1:3). This gift not only operates in healings and miracles but in the realm of the impossible as well. Saving faith produces the active faith of the fruit of the Spirit, which, in turn, stimulates the gift of faith. When the gift of faith is empowered, 

Faith results are miraculous!

Examples While in Pharaoh's court, Moses laid down his, and it turned into an adder and then changed back into a staff.

(Acts 16:16-18) The gift of faith is the supernatural ability to believe God, without doubt, combat unbelief, and visualize what God wants to accomplish. It is not only an inner conviction impelled by an urgent and higher calling but also a supernatural ability to meet adverse circumstances with trust in God's words and messages.

This gift not only operates in healings and miracles but in the realm of the impossible as well. Saving faith produces the active faith of the fruit of the Spirit, which, in turn, creates the gift of faith. When the gift of faith is empowered, the results are miraculous!

Healings Category Power Gift

Definition Removing diseases from the Spirit, soul, and body. Example Elisha was telling Naaman, the Syrian, to dip seven times in the water to rid himself of leprosy.

The gift of healings refers to supernatural healing without human aid; it is a special gift to pray for specific diseases.

Healing can come through the touch of faith (James 5:14-15), by speaking the Word of faith (Luke 7:1-10) or by the presence of God being manifested (Mark 6:56; Acts 19: Gift

Definition Function on behalf of the believer to perform something impossible by ordinary human efforts. God 

oneself with the new nature; believers are taught "to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness" (Ephesians 4:24). (1 Corinthians 12:13). Christ and has received the Spirit of Christ as evidence. All those who have received salvation through faith in Jesus Christ should put on Christ comprise the universal Church. The local church is described in Galatians 1:1–2: “Paul, an apostle and all the brothers with me, to the churches in Galatians.” Faith is an energetic art; prayer is intense labor; the righteous man's effectual working prayer availed much. Satan tries to put us to sleep. As he did the disciples, fell asleep.  They could not keep watch for Him while He was intimate in prayer with the Father.

The source of prophetic revelation is in our intimate relationship with God. A prophetic mentor should demonstrate a life of communion with God and spur you on in this area, and their example causes you to hunger to get closer to God. The power of God was miraculously manifested in the lives of believers in the New Testament church (Acts 4 33; Mark 16:20), and God wants His ability not only to work in you but also through you (Acts 1:8). Jesus said, "Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God" (Matthew 22:29). The Apostle Paul warned Timothy about those who have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof, and he told him not to associate with such people (II Timothy 3:5). 

If you want the gift of miracles to operate in you, make sure that the Word of God is in you and that the right people are influencing you. Benefits are the product of the spoken Word of God because the Word of God and God are one (Psalm 33:6).

Diverse Tongues

MANTLES WITH SUPERNATURAL MANIFESTATIONS.

Miracles can also be defined as supernatural intercessions of God. God encourages us with energy to do something that is not natural or normal to us. Just as the ministry gift of miracles is the expression of prayer, so is the function of the Holy Spirit to direct our prayers (Romans 8:26).

However, the greatest miracle (and often least talked about) is the miracle of salvation. Sure, it does not appear as spectacular as parting a sea or even raising a person from the dead. Still, we as human beings are genuinely impressed by the manifestations of outward signs and wonders. On the other hand, God is not so concerned about outward appearances and flamboyant showmanship but rather a person's heart condition. God desires that believers utilize these. The Bible speaks of "gifts" of healing because there are three types of rallies: physical (diabetes, blindness, cancer, deafness, etc.), emotional (jealousy, worry, discouragement, and other destructive attitudes), and spiritual (bitterness, greed, and guilt, etc.). Although there are three main types of healings, there is much diversity with the gift of healing. While one person might have the advantage of recovery to rid a person of cancer or perform a creative miracle, another person might have a diversity of the same gift to correct lower back problems or remove a root of bitterness).

According to Mark 16:17-20, the gifts of healing belong to all believers. 

You can know whether you have the advantage of recovery by the following by the inner witness of the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:16). When you have a unique ability to believe in physical healing for someone (Romans 12:3-8). When you have an overwhelming feeling of compassion which moves you to action (Matthew 20:34).

Word of Knowledge –

A word of knowledge is a definite conviction, impression, or knowing that comes to you in a similitude (a mental picture), a dream, through a vision, or by a Scripture that is quickened to you. It is supernatural insight or understanding of circumstances, situations, problems, or a body of facts by revelation, without assistance by any human resource but solely by divine aid.

Furthermore, the Word of Knowledge gift is the transcendental revelation of God's divine will and plan. It involves moral wisdom for right living and relationships, requires objective understanding concerning sacred things in human duties and refers to God's knowledge or of the things that belong to God, as related in the Gospel.

The gifts of the Word of wisdom and the Word of knowledge function together; knowledge is the raw material, and understanding builds on it. This means we want God to give us a specific word or phrase for the other person – like a word suddenly popping into our minds. 

This can be anything and talk about anything (for example, a street name, a number, one single Word, a sentence, even a song). In a second step, ask God what He wants to tell the other person through it. But the anointing which ye have received of him abides in you, and ye need not that any man teaches you: but as the same anointing teaches you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him."-- I John 2:27

Spiritual Gifts Wisdom Knowledge Discernment here are three types of wisdom:

The wisdom of God (I Corinthians 2:6-7) The knowledge of the world (I Corinthians 2:6) The wisdom of man (Ecclesiastes 1:16-18) The Word of wisdom gift is the application of knowledge that God gives you (I Corinthians 2:6-7). This type of wisdom is a gift that cannot be gained through study or experience and should by no means try to replace them. The advantage of the Word of knowledge sees life from God's perspective. 

As a Christian exercise this gift, he begins to develop a fear of the Lord. This is the "beginning of wisdom," according to Proverbs 1:7. The Word

of wisdom gift is also revealing the prophetic future; it is speaking hidden truths of what is not known. It is a supernatural perspective to ascertain the divine means for accomplishing God's will in each situation and divinely given the power to appropriate spiritual intuition in problem-solving.

Furthermore, this gift involves having a sense of divine direction, being led by the Holy Spirit to act appropriately in each set of circumstances, and rightly applying knowledge.

The gift of wisdom is the wisdom of God. It is the supernatural impartation of facts; it is not natural. You cannot earn it. It is received from God through prayer (Ephesians 1:17).

The Word of wisdom gift works interactively with the other two revelation gifts: knowledge and discernment. Revelation Definition The supernatural comprehension of Christ and His Word. Elisha knew that Gehazi lied to Naaman.by divine aid.

Revelation Gift

Definition Recognizing what is of God versus the world, the flesh, and the devil.

Example Paul recognizing that the girl in Philippi had a spirit of divination.

Discerning of spirits is the supernatural ability given by the Holy Spirit to perceive the source of a spiritual manifestation and determine whether it is of God (Acts 10:30-35), of the devil (Acts 16:16-18), or man (Acts 8:18-23), or of the world. It is not mind reading, psychic phenomena, or the ability to criticize and find fault.

(II Kings 5:20-27)

A Word of knowledge is a definite conviction, impression, or knowing that comes to you in a similitude (a mental picture), a dream, through a vision, or by a Scripture that is quickened to you. It is supernatural insight or understanding of circumstances, situations, problems, or a body of facts by revelation, without assistance by any human resource but solely. 

Salvation Nearer. Now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.'--ROMANS xiii. 11. There is no doubt, I suppose, that the Apostle, in common with the whole of the early Church entertained consistently the expectation of living to witness the second coming of Jesus Christ. There are in Paul's letters passages which look both in the direction of that anticipation and in the other One of expecting to taste death. 'We which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord,' he says twice in one …

You believe you have a spiritual gift of prophecy (Rom 12:6)–the unique ability given by the Holy Spirit to receive messages from God for yourself and others [1]–but how and where do you start developing it? When you have personal times of prayer, pause and ask God if He has something to show you or speak to you about the person or situation you are praying for. The Mentor Encourages you in 

The province of Galatians, there were many churches—they had a localized ministry scattered throughout the region. They were local churches. A Baptist church, a Lutheran church, and are free of the unction and movement of the Holy Spirit-Free church, etc., is not the Church, as in the universal Church; instead, it is a local church, a local body of believers. The universal Church is comprised of everyone who belongs to Christ. Members of the universal Church should seek fellowship and edification in a local church. 

The Church is not a building or a denomination. According to the Bible, the Church is the body of Christ all those who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ for salvation. It is high time to awake out of sleep" (Rom. xiii. 11). One of the greatest enemies of faith is indolence. It is much easier to lie and suffer than to rise and overcome; much more comfortable to go to sleep on a snowbank and never wake again than to rouse oneself and shake off the lethargy and overcome the stupor. God gave His Spirit to all His people to empower them to witness and prophesy. Some church members uttered sounds the rest of the congregation did not understand (I Corinthians 12-14). This led to controversy and division. Paul 

We put on Christ when our old ways are nailed to the cross, and we wear the grace and forgiveness of Jesus is a glorious garment for all the world to see. Paul paints a vivid picture of moving into Christ's new life as trading the night's darkness for the light of day.

As believers, we must wake up and throw off our night clothes, and get dressed in the appropriate outfit for the new day. Our "old clothes" were the deeds of darkness, but the proper new daytime attire for Christ's solder is God's armor of light (Ephesians 6:11–18). As a result of receiving salvation through Jesus Christ, True spirituality is the fruit that the Holy Spirit produces in a person’s life: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). 

(Romans 12-1-2). The Greek word is usually used in the Gospels for putting on or wearing clothes (Matt. 6:25; 22:11; 27:31; Mark 16; 6:9; 15:20; Luke 8:27; 15:22; cf. Acts 12:21). John uses the term the same way in the book of Revelation. (Rev. 1:13; 15:6; 19:14), though the clothing wore represents the finger of God on a person as He recognizes them as having a heavy burden for Christ. The mantle they wear is heavier than others, and This also shows us that there are different kinds of the mantle. Being of my contrite heart was continuous, my spirit hungry after righteous as I grieve, my soul was not satisfied, and my journey began again. 

Laying on my bed, the angels started to sing Mantle Ivory, and praise began out of my dormant mouth. 

And God said to write, and that is what was done; my writing experience started, in the beginning, was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word became flesh. 

And that is what began in my life the Word was bereaved in me and on me as my lips moved, my hands wrote and soon becoming what was beheld in me. A miracle is the performance of something against nature's laws; it is a supernatural power to intervene and counteract earthly and evil forces. The Word miracles come from the Greek word dunamis, which means "power and might that multiply the gift of miracles operates closely with the power gifts of faith and healings to bring authority over Satan.

Definition Glorifying God through language and music\Example Pentecost as recorded in Acts 2. Supernatural utterance through the power of the Holy Spirit in a person that manifests as spiritual language. The Holy Spirit energizes the tongue to edify believers through language and music.

Diverse tongues are the most misunderstood and dynamic gift. It is not your prayer language, but it can surface through mediation, conference, or individual.

Activations provide a safe environment to help people learn how to operate in excellence in this important area. Although prophecy comes from God, it is released through human vessels, and therefore it can be tainted and sometimes delivered inaccurately. As 2 Corinthians 4:7 says, "we have this treasure in earthen vessels." Prophetic activations are not designed to make everyone a prophet—only God can call and commission a prophet.

Activations are simply designed to stir people to grow in whatever level they are called to. There may be people participating and leading activations who are prophets, some with the gift of prophecy, and some who have the spirit of prophecy because of being filled with the Holy Ghost, but they are also maybe people who are psalmists, minstrels, Prophetic activations will raise the prophetic level in a church, region, or territory. This level is measured by how many mature prophets are ministering in a region, how many believers are operating prophetically in a region, how many churches are operating in prophetic ministry in a region, and the level of prophetic intercession and worship in a region.

The Prophet Samuel is an example of how one person can influence a region. When Samuel was born, there was no prophetic activity in the nation (1 Sam. 3:1). By the time Samuel anointed Saul, there were companies of prophets ministering (1 Sam. 10). In 1 Samuel 19, we find Samuel at intercessors, counselors, preachers, teachers, and dancers. Activations will stir them and cause them all to move more in faith and inspiration. The supernatural utterance in languages not known to the speaker; these languages may be existent in the world, revived from some past culture, or "unknown" in the sense that they are a means of communication inspired by the Holy Spirit (Isaiah 28:11; Mark 16:17; Acts 2:4,10:44-48, 19:1-7.

This is something God never got through Balaam's thick skull because, throughout the entire account, he tries his best to curse Israel, to do more than God instructs, or to speak beyond what God put into his mouth. In the preceding verses, Paul had encouraged the saints to "wake from sleep" (Romans 13:11) and "cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light." The expression put on Christ occurs again in Galatians 3:27: "For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ (ESV). As in Romans 13, putting on Christ here speaks of having clothed Clothe Yourselves with Christ and that, knowing that now it is high time to awake out of sleep, is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent. The day is at hand: let us, therefore, cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. 

As in the day, let us walk honestly, not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof.

God desires us to love Because God is Love. God's love will cause us to love our neighbor as we love ourselves. The world will have less chaos if we just learn to love the way God desires us to enjoy. Whoever believes in Him also believes that it was He who has made us and not we ourselves. And now we are cover with the blood of Jesus Christ. 

God sent Himself to tell the world that He is the Son of God, asking to consider Him. And as many that believe in Him also believe in the Son of God. And now are made known to God as Sons and Daughters of the highest God. 

  There is a process; in other words, the cake or baby was not ready to be birth out. There is an action required on our part. We are excited that we were selected, but we can miscarry if we give birth to our mantle too soon.

Nowhere in the Bible does it mention that the Holy Spirit ever spoke with tongues. Instead, you will be doing the talking in the flesh; after all, God said He would pour out His Spirit on all flesh. 

Everyone who has ever spoken in tongues was in the flesh; however, they were inspired by the Spirit when they told. Inspirational or Vocal Gift Definition A supernatural verbalization and subsequent interpretation of the diverse tongue. Interpretation of tongues is a supernatural verbalization and subsequent performance to reveal the meaning of a diverse language. This gift operates out of the mind of the Spirit rather than out of the mind of man.

It is important to note that "interpretation" of tongues is not the same thing as "translation" of languages, for the interpreter never understands the tongue he or she is interpreting. 

For example, the message in tongues may be extended and the interpretation short because it only gives the meaning. 

On the other hand, one may speak a short time in tongues and then be given a lengthy performance. Yet still, at different times, the interpretation is almost word for word. The Word of God says that if you pray in tongues, you should pray that you will also interpret - not only for the benefit of others - but for your use as well. 

 

If someone speaks in tongues, you can ask God to move through you to interpret so others will understand, but you can also do this in your private prayers for your benefit. You can pray, "Father, help me understand what I've just said to you in the Spirit," and the Lord will give you the interpretation of the gift of interpretation of tongues is the second of three inspirational or

Do not forget that it can have literal and symbolic meaning. God can refer to past, present, or future. Sometimes it can be enough to share what we got, and the person we are ministering to will directly understand what its m.

The love for God Determines Your Mantel Ahead of time Realize you may Wear a Series of Mantle Elisha was first a worker in his Father's fields and then worn as

servant’s garb before Elijah's mantle.

God took Elijah, Elisha was given Elijah cloak—the cloak he had worn as a servant—and tore it in two. There was no turning back. (2 Kings 2:12-13) Joseph had a series of physical mantles along the way. The 'coat of many colors' his 

Father gave him indicated favor, as well as his position as overseer to his brothers. 

 

Later, he was given a cloak as a head slave in Potiphar's household. Ultimately, Joseph was robed in garments that represented his position as ruler next to Pharoah in Egypt. (

Gen 41:42). Still, he did not go from being a youngster with prophetic dreams directly to the palace. He wore a 

succession of mantles, being faithful with each, and so it is for

God appointed Elisha as Prophet. 

 

Elisha, He was the successor to Elijah—but God used Elijah to 

 

 

recognize, prepare, and establish that appointment God used. 

Jacob, Potiphar, a prison warden, and ultimately Pharoah himself to appoint Joseph to a position in Egypt, that was already his. 

 

As Joseph received the royal robes over his shoulders, maybe he recalled the earlier mantles that he wore: The richly. 

 

 

ornamented coat of many colors his Father gave Joseph as a young man became another reason why his brothers hated him. And when his jealous brothers threw him in a pit and sold him to Egyptian slave traders, they wrenched the coat from him. That coat became the evidence the brothers used to 'prove' J.

joseph’s faked death to their Father, Jacob. Later, Joseph became a trusted slave, promoted, and given his master Potiphar's estate. 

But then Potiphar's wife approached Joseph, wanting t.

o seduces him. However, he valued his master's trust, his purity, and the call of God—and so Joseph ran. But Potiphar's wife grabbed his cloak—and used it to accuse him. Not only was that cloak taken from him, but it was also used as evidence against him of a crime he did not commit. And landed him in prison. Have you had this happen to you? ' God, I thought that coat was from 

 

You. 

 

  That mantle had promise. It was colorful. It 

 

Represented good things to come. 

And now it has been lost, robbed. From me? But God sees the big picture from Heaven's perspective. It is not too late. 

For like Joseph, and Elisha, as you  

stay faithful and committed in the long haul, you will ultimately receive the mantle God has for you. The Future House of

And shall be exalted above the hills.

 

 

And all nations shall flow to it.

Godly mentors must show humility—and this. 

shows in their ability to share their journey without masking the tough. If you are receiving mentoring from someone (or a group) outside your situation, it is essential to be aware of any DNA. 

 

Differences and take these into account. Differences in vision, values, and teaching can cause personal frustrations. If we are not careful, this may result in attempting to impose values or expectations that we have received from a mentoring situation onto leaders in our Church or position. Ideally, your Mentor should have a similar 'DNA' to that of the Church or organization you minister with. times and mistakes

 Your Mentor is Faith-Filled and has a positive attitude.  

 

A mentor should be faith-filled and have a positive

expectation 

Their ministry and walk with God. Keep in mind that as you are being mentored, you not only learn prophetic skills and gifts, but you also pick up your Mentor's attitudes and beliefs. If you are getting to know a potential mentor and speak negatively about other prophetic leaders or are bitter about unfulfilled ministry expectations, beware! 

Humility is also demonstrated when a mentor can apologize to yourself or others when they need arises A Healthy, not Dependent, Relationship, the joy of a parent bird, is to see their offspring spread their wings and leave the nest. The best mentors are transparent about their prophetic journey, including their weaknesses and failures.

They give the greatest gift of mentoring—the wisdom of learning from their mistakes so that we do not need to repeat them. Similarly, the goal of mentoring is to see that mentored grow to their fullest potential and maturity. We need to guard against unhealthy dependence or co-dependence in a mentoring relationship. A good mentor will be aware of this. And the ministry God has for you will be above and beyond anything you could ever have dreamed. A prophetic calling maybe the call of God to a vocation, a particular achievement, or to work in an area of passion. Your prophetic Calling may be a God-breathed call to prophetic ministry.

Record your prophetic insights and experiences so that. 

later, when confirmation or fulfillment takes place; they will be a 'marker' of your growth. The importance is Placed upon Character. There is no more to mentoring than passing0. On information and good training. 

  

A Godly mentor will not hold back when they character issues in your life that need addressing. Integrity, purity of heart is and will be your lifestyle. The quality of our family life, honoring leaders, and persevering during tough times are examples of character issues critical in developing our prophetic ministry's maturity. Humility is now your lifestyle. Openness Likewise, we must be transparent and teachable in receiving mentoring. Otherwise, we will not reap the benefit of the mentoring process.  

 

A Natural Approach to Prophecy springs from having the Father's Love for people as individuals and Love for the Church.

The best mentors are genuine, down-to-earth people who can relate to both church leadership and If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains but has not to love, I am nothing. (1 Cor 13:2) To prophesy is to communicate. 

the intention and purpose of the Father This can be by way of simple encouragement to someone in your everyday life or it may occur within the context of church life or ministry. 

 

 

God's Love is not Based upon what our Eyes see, ‘He the Messiah\ will not judge by what he sees with his eyes or decide by what he hears with his ears' (Isaiah 11:3)

The Bible tells us that Love is the prerequisite to prophesy in any situation. [1] Without Love, the Apostle Paul says, we are nothing, and our words have an empty ring to them. (1 Cor 13:1-2) This is vital as we develop our prophetic gifts and seek to grow in our ability to hear from God.

 

God looks beyond what is seen outwardly to a person's inner heart and speaks to the potential within. My constant prayer is that I will not be distracted by what I see externally. 'Holy Spirit, help me to see what You see. ‘When the Prophet Samuel went to Jesse's family to anoint the next King of Israel, God spoke to him, saying, 'Do not consider his appearance…

That role, that job, that ministry opportunity—why was it taken? People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.' (1 Sam 16:7 God's Love is not Based upon our Ideas and Opinions Whether negative or positive, opinions and preconceived ideas can hinder our ability to hear—and accurately share—God's Word.

 

 

They also impede the flow of God's unconditional Love through us. This is especially true when we are ministering to people that we are personally acquainted. I have learned to be open to the Holy Spirit for Him to show me (and He often does) judgments that I need to repent or predetermine ideas that I need to set aside. God's Love is not Based upon our Feelings.

When it comes to prophetic ministry, Love is not based on an emotion that we feel but upon seeing people from the Father's perspective. Here are three primary ways that we can become acquainted with His perspective: Know what the Bible Teaches About God's Love for People.

We learn from God's Word how much the Father values people—so much that He sent His Son to die for them. (John 3:16) In the New Testament, the Father's heart towards people is revealed through Jesus' ministry to individuals. 

For example, when Jesus spoke to the woman at the well, He did not use the knowledge He had of her sinful lifestyle to condemn her but as the means to invite her to salvation. (John 4) Being aware of His grace towards me in my humanity and weakness enables me to communicate His Love and grace to We do not need to feel an emotion such as compassion to express God's Love to another. 

However, as we grow in intimacy with Him. He shares His heart with us. Further, as we prepare for prophetic ministry in prayer, we can specifically seek God for His heart as well as His plans. It is in His Presence that our hearts are changed to become like His. 

We express God's Love in the Process of Prophecy. Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy.' (1 Cor 14:1) Love should guide the whole process of prophecy. [2] This process includes: Weighing up the revelation we have received, Ensuring that the message we share is encouraging and 

empowering (1 Cor 14:3) How we deliver the Word and its timing allow the person room to weigh the prophecy up, and so on. Love also requires us to seek accountability in the use of our spiritual gifts. [3] God's Love Requires us to Put Others First. Greater Love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends. (John 15:13

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

God's Love is it is the sacrificial      

nature of who He is.

 

And who we should become.

 Love places the interests and life.

 

There is a type of mantle that will cover God’s people. God wants to release it over His body of Christ Corporately. But it does require something as dope as laying hands on the person but does require total surrender to God. It involves a life of complete surrender, obedience, a lifestyle in deep communion with Jesus. This type of mantle is being made available to all who want it and are willing to pay the price that includes sacrifice. Many men and women died senselessly on the streets. But none have been stripping and broken like Jesus Christ. God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son. Whosoever believes in Him shall have everlasting life. 

If you believe in the Son also believe upon the Father, there is only one mediator between God and man and that man is Jesus Christ, who became that mantle for all believers. However, God gives Prophets Mantles. God sent His prophet in sending His prophets He sent Mantles, after sending Mantles He's sent His Son, after sending His Son.

There should be a genuineness in one’s faith's however, the Church is where believers can fully apply the "body" principles of 1 Corinthians chapter 12, encouraging, teaching, and building one another up in the Lord Jesus Christ's knowledge and grace. According to the Bible, there is just one Church, which includes all those belonging to Jesus Christ, in unity and forming his bride and his body on earth. It is not a building of stone or bricks, but a living building of people! Who represents the Church of the living God? 

 

 

Never forget that mantles consist of anointing. There is no cost for Salvation, but the weight of His glory will cost you something. You might have to give up shacking up for that good lover; it is at being at the right place at the right time. God will bring the masses of multitudes to be saved, healed of sickness, and Your purpose will be to step into the anointed Mantle that God has grace and gift you with. 

A mantle was the only article of clothing worn by men and women. Prophets were known for wearing mantles as a sign of their calling from God (1 Kings 19:13). The prophet Samuel wore a mantle (1 Samuel 15:27). The prophet Elijah “threw his cloak around [Elisha]” as a symbol of Elijah’s ministry being passed on to Elisha. 

The prophet’s mantle indicated his authority and responsibility as God’s chosen spokesman (2 Kings 2:8). Geisha was not confused about what Elijah was doing; his mantle's putting on made his election clear. The mantle served the practical purpose of keeping people warm and protecting them from the elements. It also helped a symbolic meaning, in the prophets' case, showing they were wrapped in God’s authority. Like all imagery in the Old Testament, the mantle presents a New Testament principle's visible representation. 

The mantle be a symbol of the Holy Spirit's anointing, whom God so graciously gives to all Christians, the people of His choosing. (1 Thessalonians 1:5–6; 1 Peter 2:9). It may require you to give up parting or hanging out with those bad girls, like having worldly behavior and worldly fun. It just might require satisfying a need, want, and desire. This mantle requires and comes with responsibility. There is absolutely nothing that happens in the universe that is outside of God’s influence and authority. As King of kings and Lord of lords, God has no limitations. Consider just a few of the Bible's claims: God is, above all things and before all things. He is the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end. He is immortal, and He is present everywhere to know Him (Revelation 21:6).

God created all things and held everything together, both in heaven and on earth, both visible and invisible (Colossians 1:16). God knows all things past, present, and future. There is no limit to His knowledge, for God knows everything thoroughly before it even happens (Romans 11:33).

God can do all things and accomplish all things. Nothing is too complicated for Him, and He orchestrates and determines everything that will happen in your life, in America, and throughout the world. He wants to do in the universe, and He does, for nothing is impossible with Him (Jeremiah 32:17).

God is in control of all things and rules over all things. He has power and authority over nature, earthly kings, history, angels, and demons. Even Satan himself must ask God’s permission before he can act (Psalm 103:19)

The heavier weight of the mantle God gives you, the more dead to self you must become. Only then will you release mass miracles, but it is deeply connected to God. This level of intimacy with the Person of the Holy Spirit. It is a mantle of extraordinary power as well as deep intimacy with God. There was a new mantle for mass crusades being placed on my life. This mantle was released in the great atmosphere of a mass crusade meeting. We often wonder why the Church is so powerless. Then I turned my face to the Lord God, seeking him by prayer and pleas for mercy with fasting sackcloth and ashes. As in the entrancing aurora that fascinates and stimulates all who see it as the dazzling natural phenomenon, the beautiful notes perform correct sequence as a merit of angels singing Mantle Ivory repeatedly.

He loves you and me; God's word is unchanging. The word of the Lord came to me saying, the Lord of Host shall cleanse you with hyssop and renew the right Spirit in you, then tells the Lord of Host, then I will rip the masks off your face to expose you lions, and strip you off your dirty clothes. Them clean. I have heard these prophets say, 'Listen to the dream I had from God last night.' And then they proceed to tell lies in my name. How long will this go on? If they are prophets, they are prophets of deceit, inventing everything they say. By telling these false dreams, they try to get my people to forget me, just as their ancestors did by worshiping Baal's idols.

"Let these false prophets tell their dreams, but let my true messengers faithfully proclaim my every word. There is a difference between straw and grain! Does not my word burn like a hammer that breaks the rocks into pieces? Wait and tremble at my word, "You who walk in the darkness of the day? Jeremiah 23:29 Is not my word like a fire? Saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breath the rock in pieces? Continuing in Praise and worshipping questions arouse my intellect. What was a Mantle? All things were new in Christ Jesus. Then I began to ask my Pastor, and He replied to my inquest question as if he did not know what I was talking about. Well, as curious as I was not satisfied with his answer to my question. 

My lips would move each time, praising God in song and dance. And my soul was so anchored in the Lord., therefore, my thirst and appetite and falling in love with Jesus linger and increase for God and his word my desire was for more. My lips would move out of control, but I took control of my mind, body, and soul. Why were my lips moving and nothing was coming out. searching the scripture, finding out nothing new under the sun was part of my assignment. 

With long life, I will satisfy you. With stammering lips and another tongue, will he speak to these people? That He may do His work, His strange work, and bring to pass.

It is time to take the mask off your face. Your body shall not carry a stitch, says the Lord Oh host., one day is like a thousand years is as a day. And body until all you see is My son abiding in you. Isaiah 61:3 Proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor and the day of our God’s vengeance, to comfort all who mourn, to, to provide for those who grieve in Zion to give them a crown of beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and a garment of praise in place of a spirit of despair. So, they will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified. 

They will rebuild the ancient ruins; they will restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities and many generations' desolations.

Where are the On that day, mourners (a saint the Lord) Say the Lord of the Host shall I not clear a path for you? The LORD's name saint strong tower: the righteous runniest into it and is safe. "Look, therefore, for my righteousness, and live; “Comfort and peace are mined to provide. 

And with long life, says the Lord of Hosts. Will satisfy thee. that day shall the Lord of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, ISAIAH 28:5.'Thou shall also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord.
