S4-8 PROPHETICPICTURES FM13


USING PICTURES FOR PROPHESYING
QUICK REVIEW.
WHAT IS PROPHECY?
 Prophecy is simply:
 Encouraging, exhorting and comforting people.
 Restoring the image of God in people.
 Showing people what God has for them.
 Telling people how God sees them.
 Waking up in people passion for God.
 Setting the captives free.
 Removing ashes and covering people with the
  mantle of joy.
PROPHECY IS SIMPLY:

 Bringing healing to people.
 Is a communication of Spirit to spirit.

 Prophecy comes from the desire to love people;

 From the desire to encourage and to bless
  them.
 Prophecy comes in a spontaneous way,
  because you are becoming more and more
  Christ centered.
 Prophecy is about restoring dignity, confidence
  and self respect in people.
IN ORDER TO RESTORE PEOPLE,
WE NEED TO BE RESTORED.
 Now days we are constantly bombarded by
  different Social and Communication media.
 The devil is using this industry to bring auto-
  rejection, condemnation, low self esteem and
  all kind of negative things into the mind of
  people.
CHANGING OUR WAY TO LOOK AT THINGS.
 We need to look at things through the eyes of
  the Spirit and not the eyes of the flesh
 We cannot pick up “clues” from the looks or
  conditions of a person and prophesy on, that
  will take us to a wrong level.
 God is the one that will give us revelation of
  the things to speak to a person.
 The great prophets did this mistake as well,
  they learned from their mistakes.
1 SAMUEL 16:6-13 (NKJV)

 6 So it was, when they came, that he looked
  at Eliab and said, “Surely the LORD‟s
  anointed is before Him!”
 7 But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look
  at his appearance or at his physical
  stature, because I have refused him.
  For the LORD does not see as man sees; for
  man looks at the outward appearance, but
  the LORD looks at the heart.”
DON’T LOOK AT CUSTOMS AND TRADITIONS.

 In Israel‟s culture, the elder son was the one
  who would have all the rights and benefits.
 However the Lord is looking far more than
  just external appearances or traditions.
 He doesn‟t look the external, but the interior.

 He looks the heart disposition
1 SAMUEL 16:8-11 (NKJV)
 8 So Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass
  before Samuel. And he said, “Neither has
  the LORD chosen this one.” 9 Then Jesse made
  Shammah pass by. And he said, “Neither has
  the LORD chosen this one.” 10 Thus Jesse made
  seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And Samuel
  said to Jesse, “The LORD has not chosen
  these.” 11 And Samuel said to Jesse, “Are all the
  young men here?” Then he said, “There remains yet
  the youngest, and there he is, keeping the sheep.”
  And Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and bring him. For
  we will not sit down till he comes here.”
FROM REJECTION TO SELECTION.

 David was forgotten by his father, he clearly
  was being rejected and despised.
 Age is not an impediment for a higher call.

 God does not want our abilities or talents.

 He can give them to anyone He wants.

 He wants my disponibility, my acceptance to
  be molded so I can do His will.
 His agenda and not my agenda.
1 SAMUEL 16:12-13 (NKJV)

 12 Sohe sent and brought him in. Now
 he was ruddy, with bright eyes, and good-
 looking. And the LORD said, “Arise, anoint
 him; for this is the one!” 13 Then Samuel took
 the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst
 of his brothers; and the Spirit of
 the LORD came upon David from that day
 forward. So Samuel arose and went to
 Ramah.
FROM REJECTION TO EXALTATION.

 The prophet stood up in from of the
  lad, obeying the word of the Lord.
 He poured oil of anointing on him.

 The rejected one was suddenly exalted in
  front of every one.
 God knows what you do in secret.

 The time you spend with Him will dictate your
  intimacy, anointing, virtue and power.
2 SAMUEL 7: 1-7
NEW CENTURY VERSION (NCV)
 David Wants to Build a Temple
 7 King David was living in his palace, and
  the LORD had given him peace from all his
  enemies around him.2 Then David said to
  Nathan the prophet, “Look, I am living in a
  palace made of cedar wood, but the Ark of God
  is in a tent!”
 3 Nathan said to the king, “Go and do what you
  really want to do, because the LORD is with
  you.”
2 SAMUEL 7: 1-7
NEW CENTURY VERSION (NCV)
 4 But that night the LORD spoke his word to
  Nathan, 5 “Go and tell my servant David, „This is
  what the LORD says: Will you build a house for
  me to live in? 6 From the time I brought the
  Israelites out of Egypt until now I have not lived
  in a house. I have been moving around all this
  time with a tent as my home. 7 As I have moved
  with the Israelites, I have never said to the
  tribes, whom I commanded to take care of my
  people Israel, “Why haven‟t you built me a
  house of cedar?”‟
ALLOW GOT TO DO THINGS HIS WAY.

 Sometimes we may try to predict what the
  Lord will do, based in the ways he has done
  before.
 But we cannot set Got with a procedure.

 He is doing new things all the time, so are
  His dealings with people.
 We humble need to wait for Him to dictate us
  what to do, how to express His feelings and
  ideas, allowing His love flow out of our
  hearts.
THE CASE OF KING SAUL

 How Saul looked at himself
 Fear of men

 Disobedience

 Lack of patience

 Pleasing his troop and people.

 Legalist with his son (honey)
2 SAMUEL 9:6-9 (NKJV) MEPHIBOSHETH
 6 Now    when Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan, the son
    of Saul, had come to David, he fell on his face and
    prostrated himself. Then David said, “Mephibosheth?”
   And he answered, “Here is your servant!”
   7 So David said to him, “Do not fear, for I will surely show
    you kindness for Jonathan your father‟s sake, and will
    restore to you all the land of Saul your grandfather; and
    you shall eat bread at my table continually.”
   8 Then he bowed himself, and said, “What is your servant,
    that you should look upon such a dead dog as I?”
   9 And the king called to Ziba, Saul‟s servant, and said to
    him, “I have given to your master‟s son all that belonged
    to Saul and to all his house.
FAVOR OF A KING CHANGES EVERYTHING
 Mephibosheth had a very poor image of
  himself.
 He was leaving in fear, he couldn‟t believe
  the generous offer of the King.
 He look at himself as a dog; to worsen it, it
  was a dead dog.
 The king didn‟t pay attention to his negative
  statement and faithful to his promis cover
  him with unmerited favor
LOOK AT YOU THROUGH HIS EYES.

 We don‟t need to live in a pity-party always
  looking or remembering our wrong past.
 The KING of all kings has bestowed His
  favor upon us.
 We just need to accept it, take away our old
  self image and come into His banquet table.
 There is a seat for each one of as at His
  table.
 Look at you with spiritual eyes.
WHY SO MANY SCRIPTURES?

   You may think that the scriptures that I share
    with you have nothing to do with learning to
    prophesy, but let me tell you again that the
    condition of our hearts will eventually pop out
    when we are prophesying. That is why we
    need to become more centered in God and
    be transformed in our minds, in our hearts
    and in our actions and reactions, to be
    comformed in the image of His Son Jesus
    Christ.
MAKE ROOM FOR THE LORD!

 So I strongly encourage you to read the
  scriptures that we share, meditate them and
  examine yourself before the Lord. Empty out
  yourself of anything that can belong to the
  old man so you‟ll make room for the Lord to
  fill you up.
 You will become more of Him and less of
  you, thus making every time more room for
  Him.

  • 20. MAKE ROOM FOR THE LORD!  So I strongly encourage you to read the scriptures that we share, meditate them and examine yourself before the Lord. Empty out yourself of anything that can belong to the old man so you‟ll make room for the Lord to fill you up.  You will become more of Him and less of you, thus making every time more room for Him.
