2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.”
7. 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
8. 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.”
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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.”
13. 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?”‟
14. 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.
15. 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)
16. 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.
17. 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
18. 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.
19. 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.
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.
