Prophetic Word

"But one who prophesies speaks to men for edification and exhortation and consolation."
(1 Cor 14:3)


"Moses turned aside to see the bush which was burning, but not consumed. His curiosity was aroused as he considered what was placed within his field of vision. Even so are the points of curiosity I place in your path to see if you have eyes to see what is there. 

I speak to you through a variety of ways, both familiar and uncommon to you. I speak through the mouths of young children and through the prophets.

My Spirit is poured out on all flesh and I am creative in my expression. I will speak in ways that are fresh and new to you as you have eyes to perceive and ears to discern.

There is great joy in the adventure! Expect Me to reveal My love and attention in small, intimate, and precious ways. 

Was it just another bush? Just a coincidence? Or did you see My smile, My affectionate wink behind it?

If you will look for Me, you will find Me."


"... Behold, he is standing behind our wall, He is looking through the windows, He is peering through the lattice." (Song 2:9)

What was your dream about?

"A picture is worth a thousand words."
 
Jesus favorite method of teaching was telling stories in order to convey spiritual truth - parables.  When He spoke of seed falling on good ground, He wasn't giving advice to farmers, but speaking of the Word of God falling upon receptive hearts. When He told of the wise man who built his house on the rock, He taught the importance of a life with a strong and sturdy spiritual foundation.
 
By speaking metaphorically, Jesus awakened the spiritual ears of His listeners, giving them something to think about. Parables gave them a chance to gradually understand and accept His words as they considered the meaning.

It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter. (Prov 25:2)

Sometimes we may wish to have been there to sit at His feet and hear His wonderful stories. Yet even now, the Holy Spirit is using the same method to give us personal instruction while we dream. We receive individual "night parables" as He seeks to awaken us to understanding.
 
Scripture speaks favorably of dreams, and we read of Joseph the dreamer who was able to interpret the dreams of the cupbearer, the baker, also Pharaoh.
 
Not realizing that God wanted us to understand our dreams, we shrugged them off as last night's pizza, or ourselves as too unspiritual to figure it out.
 
In this last days outpouring, God is speaking to you, to me, to believers and to unbelievers through dreams (Acts 2:17). Through  study of the metaphors of dreams, visions, and parables of the Bible, we can begin to gain a much greater understanding of our own night parables.

How does visionary revelation "happen?" Can it be trusted? Where does it fit into the life of the church today? Can any believer become a seer, or is this a prophetic dimension reserved for the specially-gifted?
