10 Kinds Of Prophesy

It is important that all prophesy flow out of an understanding of the finished work of Jesus Christ and the spirit of grace, It should be magnifying him not exalting an individual, particular group, culture, or geographical location, that would be enthusiasm but not the Holy Spirit.    

10 Different Kinds Of Prophesy:

 

(1)   Elementary—-Simple utterance to edify exhort and comfort—or to build up stir up, and cheer up.  1 Cor12:10

(2)   General—–To the whole body in general….For the same reason as #1

(3)   Personal—-To a certain individual or Individuals

(4)   Predictive—Predicts the future  “Example you will “

(5)   Directive—-Gives specific direction    “Example go now”  This should only be done with full accountability and responsibility for what we say, meaning if we tell someone to do something we should be ready to support the mission especially if the word we give them cost them financially.

(6)   Righteous Judgment— this is not condemnation of a believer but that which intervenes in the case of someone hindering the gospel it is rare and it flows from within the church walking in Covenant and in the presence of true apostles and prophets

It comes with a purpose of the furtherance of the Kingdom of God Acts 5 ; Acts 13:11 most judgmental prophesies are soulish based with an old covenant mentality on a negative view of life.

(7)   Poetic—-Utterance that rhymes or is given as poetry.

(8)   Written—–Prophesy inspired in writing not contradicting the written word.

(9)  Creative—–Utterance that decrees something that is not yet revealed to cause it to be manifested.

(10) Spiritual songs- Song of the Lord is from the Lord to His people for the purpose of bringing them into rest and in a response the song of praise which is the result of rest these are spontaneous.  ( 2 Chor.29:27)

Living Above Negative Relationships

All of us have had relationships that have either gone bad or were not good from the beginning, it is important to find God in all of them even in the difficult ones then be healed and move on.

Acts 28:1-6 shake it off so that we don’t swell up.

Overcoming Negative Relationships :

(1) Learn to respond rather then react. A response is to who they are as a person with feelings, family, and friends in mind. A reaction is when we are solely focused on what they may have done or what we think they are doing.

(2) Use the conflict to bring about long awaited changes in us. It may be that the Father is removing old attitudes and selfish motives from us and using a negative relationship to help bring that about. This may be happening– an old hurt will surface that has nothing to do with the immediate person you are having a conflict with. In this case, expose it to God’s presence and ministry to be healed with truth.

(3) Forgive—This does not mean to pretend no wrong has been done. Rather, the word forgive means to turn loose or send away the offence. It does not necessarily mean you trust them again either. It does mean to let them go. You count the cost, you acknowledge the wrong, and you choose to release them through the grace given unto you through Christ.

(4) Recognize that the Holy Spirit will allow some people in our lives only for a season; they were never meant to be a permanent part. Pastors and spiritual leaders really need to understand this. We can bless those who leave our church and ministry without resentment or thinking they missed God. We should make it easy for people to leave if they desire to by blessing them in every possible way.

(5) The things you dislike in others may be the picture of your own soul that you haven’t yet come to terms with.

(6) Negative relationships can become positive ones when we grow, adjust, and make changes in how we treat others. The person closest to us is often the most neglected. Make sure family is cared for.

(7) Avoid the blame game–it is a sign of immaturity. Rise above accusations and a critical spirit –it never helps anyone.

(8) Understand the freedom of being delivered from people, so that you may be sent to people in purity and love.

“We must have thick skin and a tender heart” ”Be greater than their criticism and smaller than their praise”

From The House To The Palace

  There is a transition the church goes through as we apprehend the purpose of covenant relationship from the house of the Lord where we are kept and hidden into the Palace of the king where he the King displays His wealth (who we are and what is in us) to all the nations.


The house the church is where we relate –The palace the kingdom is where we rule from.
 
 
9 Blessings of the Palace:  (Psalms 144:9-15)
 
 
(1)  A new song unto the Lord–this speaks of a new order accompanied by joy and the fruit of faith. 
 
(2)  Salvation unto kings– Now nations will behold His beauty and King’s will arise to give Him glory. 
 
(3)  Deliverance from death, oppression, and ungodliness. 
 
(4)  Our children both natural and spiritual will find purpose they will walk in truth–they have maturity and dignity, our sons mature in their youth, and our daughters have royal dignity. 
 
(5) Prosperity–No lack or need there is abundance; every man is set under his own vine or under his own fig tree (Micah 4)
 
(6)  Reproduction—Kingdom evangelism which is relational with power is in our own streets given to all people everywhere. 
 
(7) Team ministry—No Breaches/strong to labor/recognition of one another’s gifts and functions/ The head The Lord Jesus is in His proper place we have endurance,we are focused, and we are relentless. 
 
(8)  No complaining in our streets no anguish no fighting no bickering true unity,and respect for the elderly  
 
(9) Abundant happiness in every area of life spiritually, socially, physically financially to be totally full and complete.

Interpreting Symbols And Types

 It is the Glory of the Lord to conceal a thing, and the honor of kings to search out a matter.  Pro.25:2


Throughout scripture God has given us visible ways to teach us spiritual reality, this is just a sample of the revelation that unfolds as we come to understand these truths.

Everything God has ever said, speaks to us of Jesus Christ His church and His Kingdom.

A type is a fore-shadowing of a future fulfillment demanding an anti-type.

A symbol is material emblem portraying an unfolding a spiritual reality.

A few examples of types are the tabernacles,the temples, the feast, the offerings, the nations, and the old testament nation of Israel.

Once you have the anti-type you never again go back to the type He takes away the first to establish the second.  Heb.10:9b

Examples of symbols are wine, rain, bread, oil, fire, wind, milk,meat,water,hail,river and many many more, all of them to let us know what the Holy Spirit is like and what he is doing.

A few Symbols:

Iron = Strength
Brass = Judgment
Silver = Redemption
Wood = Humanity
Gold = Deity

God also uses numbers because they are absolute.
1 = Unity
2 = Witness
3 = Resurrection
4 = Earth
5 = Grace
6 = Man
7 = Divine perfection
8 = New beginning
9 = Completion
10 = Law
11 = Confusion
12 = Authority
13 = Rebellion
15 = Rest
30 = Maturity
40 = Testing and Trial
50 = Pentecost -Jubilee
70 = Ministry
300 = Deliverance

As you read through the scriptures you will discover the patterns and the laws of interpretation.

Never try to make the scriptures say something they don’t say the Holy Spirit will interpret what he has already said.

” 5 REASONS NOT TO FEAR”

Isa. 41:10 “Fear not for I am with thee, be not dismayed for I am thy God, I will strengthen thee, I will help thee and uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”
 
The real cure for fear is to understand we died at the cross with him, this will free us from tormenting fear with the understanding that when Jesus died we died; with this understanding we find our liberty in Christ, and then we will find healing for our emotions from the root of these unhealthy fears.
 
5 Reasons not to fear:
 
 
(1)    I AM WITH THEE– when the Lord says He is with us it means He guards us, keeps us, His eye follows us, and He causes us to prosper. (Gen. 39:1-5)  He has declared He will never leave us nor forsake us.
 
(2) I AM THY GOD– He who is all powerful, everywhere, all knowing, all wise God, has said He belongs to us through relationship and that we can trust HIM.
 
(3) I WILL STRENGTHEN THEE– harden to difficulties Amp.; He has said He will make us tough, strong immovable; We will no longer be afraid of confrontation, failure, spiritual darkness, or what people say or do ( I will strengthen thee)
 
 (4)  I WILL HELP THEE– I will come to your aid, assist you as you go forward; I will get underneath you and make you to stand; I will prop you up until your strength comes.
 
(5) I WILL UPHOLD THEE– with the right hand of My righteousness, this is to make us firm and unwaivering in the grace and knowledge of Christ Jesus; In the knowledge that we have been acquitted, found not guilty by the blood of Christ and that He stands “for” and “in” us.

“10 Things That Happen On The Third Day”

Prov.22:20 :  ” Have not I written to thee excellent things in councils and knowledge. ”(KJV)
The word “excellent”  in the Hebrew  is shaliysh  meaning in triplicate.

The day we are in  has been called the third day third time,  or wave, or move, or dimension, or level, anointing etc.etc.
 The third day is more than a new buzz word or just another Christian experience It is the revelation and the assurance of Jesus Christ in His finished work made real to us by the holy spirit. 
When this happens in us we wake up to a brand new day and it suddenly overtakes us.

We then move from the first day of childhood, the second day of adolescence, into the third day of maturity.

 
                                  ”10 things that happen on the third day”

 
 
(1)——-The third day brings new life and fruitfulness from within; The seed is within itself all you have need of God has put in you, we are now fruitful.  (Gen.1:13)
 
(2)——-The third day we lift up our eyes, and we are no longer looking at the dust, the devil or defeat, but now on a land of full provision.  (Gen. 22:4)
 
(3)——- The third day we arise and purify ourself from negative influences of death law and legalism. (Num.19:12)
(4)——- The third day Saul is slain;  this speaks of our old belief systems, religious traditions, self interest of ministry, or trying to become the man or woman of the hour. (2 Sam.1:2-4)

(5)——- The third day the butler is restored to favor with Pharaoh and (the baker “old way of cooking” is hanged)

The butler speaks of the one who opens the door no longer will we seek to have doors open for us we will look and see that every door is open, and speak to hearts not doors. Gen.40:20


(6)——–The third day we understand that our prayers have been answered with a yes and amen we no longer need a promise we have the fulfillment in Christ then our prayer life changes dramatically as we move from warfare to worship, we do this on the Third day.


(7)——–The third day we come to destiny and put on our royal apparel, and make our entrance into the palace ( The house is where we relate, the palace is where we rule ). (Est.5:1)


(8)——— The third day we are raised up to live in His sight then we move beyond just believing him into really knowing him, it is from containing to becoming.(Hos.6:2)


(9)——–The third day Jesus turned the water into wine interesting he did this at a wedding “speaks of our (union) with Him”   this speaks of Him taking the ordinary and making it extraordinary, taking our weaknesses and making it our strengths. (Jn.2:1)


(10) Jesus was raised up on the third day; this speaks to us of our complete victory over sin, death and hell. (Mt.20:19)

To Dance Before The Lord

Isa. 66:8 (b) As Soon as Zion travailed she brought forth her children; the word for travail according to Strong’s Concordance is interpreted to mean
  1. to dance
  2. to twist, writhe
  3. to whirl, whirl about
  4. to writhe in pain as giving birth
 Lk.15:25 There was music and dancing in the Fathers house.
 
 Ps. 149:3 Let the children of Zion dance
 
Ps 150:4 Praise him with the tambourine and dance.
Jer. 31:13 Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance.

The word rejoice in most cases; means to move around skip about and dance…. History records that dancing was a part of the church until the church went into the dark ages around 300 A.D. The church quit dancing when she replaced grace and faith for law and works it was however recovered when light came in the 1500s and continued to the Pentecostal movement in the early 1900’s.
 
 The older Pentecostals believed that the spirit had to come on you and make you dance.  “called dancing in the spirit”
This was real for many of them to bring them to a place of freedom, but as we grow up in Christ we come to understand He does not have to come on us to make us dance, we now have an anointing from the Holy One (1 Jn. 2:21) which means we have the divine right to go ahead.
 
Abel-Mehola–means “the meadow of the dance”  this is the place where Gideon defeated the Medianites which means strife and contention it is also the place where Elijah the prophet found Elisha the prophet who would receive his mantle. 

Dancing gives birth to victory:   

It is the result of restoration. Lk.15:25″ It is giving the Lord pleasure in praise. Ps:68:11  It is directing our emotions toward God so that our emotions do not direct us.
 
 Rom 12:1 — It is allowing the spirit of the word to have all of our members.
 
Rom.6:19— It is the act of the inner man, giving our strength to the Lord.
2 Sam.6:14—And David danced before the Lord .
 
“I see a dancing Jesus who has defeated every enemy”

What Is The Third Day?

The Third day is not a just a new buzz word for the church, nor is it just a prophetic time table for the new millennium, but it is a day of rest from our own labors it is the Sabbath of Sabbath’s it is the day of the Lord, a day where there is no more struggle or mixture, and a day to be entered into now by faith it is an understanding of the finished work of Jesus Christ.

 I understand that it is a three day journey not just a third day journey and each realm must be experienced just like 3 levels of growth little children youth and adults a greater dimension of our walk does not exclude a lesser one but rather it absorbs it.

After two days he will revive us , but in the 3rd day He will raise us up to live in His sight. Hos 6:2

             “To help us understand this truth”

  Here are some examples and changes that we will experience when we move from the 2nd day unto the 3rd day

    2nd day                                                                  3rd day

  It was about us —————————–   It is about Him.

  If I will He will——————————— Jesus is the eternal I will

  About our obedience————————About our union with Him

  Still hungry————————————-Satisfied in Him

  Seeking—————————————–Finding

  Someday—————————————-To it is finished

  Looking for revival—————————We are the revival

  Asking——————————————-Receiving

  Knocking—————————————-To an open door

  He revives us———————————-We live in His sight

  Believing God———————————-To Knowing God

  Lukewarm————————————–To embracing the fire

  Wowed by signs and wonders—————We are the sign and the wonder and they follow us

  Trying to get the church perfected———-To manifesting the perfect one

  From chasing God—————————-To Him chasing us

  Going through the fire————————To being the fire

  From being the victim————————To being the Victor

  From process———————————-To Provision

  and many more!

7 Marks Of A Balanced Life

Proverbs 16:11 (Amplified Bible)
 
A just balance and scales are the Lord’s; all the weights of the bag are His work [established on His eternal principles].
 
Everything in the universe depends upon balance without it we have total destruction.
God in His wisdom gave us two feet, two hands, two eyes, two legs, two ears, two kidneys etc.etc. and Jesus sent out His disciples two by two for the purpose of balance,
and if two of you agree on earth as touching anything  it shall be done for them of my father who is in heaven. Mt.18:18
In the epistles of Paul he spent time writing about our position in Christ, then he would spend time talking about our walk among men. “Jesus is both Son of God and Son of Man”.
 
When we hear wrongly or get distracted from God’s purpose we get out of balance, which causes us to think we are hearing God and it is just our own soul. Undisciplined desires can cause us to hear voices that sound like God but bring anxiety and fear showing it was not from Him.
 
7 Marks of a Balanced life:
 
(1) —Integrity before God and man:
 
1. Definition–quality of state of being complete; unbroken condition; wholeness; entirety
2. the quality of state of being unimpaired; perfect condition; soundness
3. the quality or state of being of sound moral principle; uprightness, honesty, and sincerity.
 
(2)—Peacefulness and Rest—Tranquility instead of confusion or turmoil that may be all around us.
 
(3)—Liberty— Not given to legalism; liberty has an ability to reject guilt and condemnation and does not play God with people or feel the need to be God’s police enforcement.
 
(4)—Moderation—Not given to extremes; there is no need to try to prove a point, many times I think we argue because we are trying to convince ourselves what we believe is true..
 
(5) —Soundness of mind— 2 Tim.1:7  God has not given us a spirit of fear but a well disciplined mind He gave us power & love, notice power and love gifts and fruit, life & light; Son of man-Son of God;   Matthew-lion,Mark-ox,Luke-man, John-eagle.
 
(6)— Vision— The ability to see what others cannot see and with positive attitude move forward.
 
(7)—Understanding of the times–This frees us from the fears of tomorrow and the regrets of the past in order to make sound judgments for today.
A balanced mind doesn’t get caught up in the doom and gloom predictions of men because we have an abiding hope and we know the greatness of our God in every situation at any time and in any place.

Our Union With Christ

“I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless, I live yet it’s not I that lives, but Christ who lives in me, and the life I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me.” Gal.2:20    

 

But whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit. 1 Cor. 6:19 (niv) 

 

 It is one thing for us to know Jesus historically and another to know him presently  revealed in us it is then our religious struggles fade away and we realize they were the result of not knowing Him as he is.

(Gal.1:15-16)  But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by his grace, was pleased 16 to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, my immediate response was not to consult any human being.

“When He is revealed TO us he changes us, but when He is revealed IN us He replaces us”.

 “7 areas of Union that we have with Him; what He did we also did “in Him”.

(1) Death– when He died so did we our old identity died all that was connected to an old creation of sin darkness and death, He did not just die for us but as us, In death He took away sin. (Col.3:1)

(2) Burial–when He was buried so were we meaning he removed the first Adam then absorbed us into Christ, This is where he takes away the memory or consciousness of the sin it is not who you are. (Rom.6:4)

(3) Resurrection–a cross without a resurrection is lifeless religion,we were raised with Him into a brand new creation we were made alive and made to stand up out from among the dead we are Christ’s head and body. (Rev.1:18)

(4) Ascension–when he ascended so did we far above all things far above the old life of defeat and shame far above death and hell. (Eph.1:21)

(5) Seating– when he set down so did we as one with him showing the work has been accomplished and all enemies are defeated now we have moved into a posture of rest. (Eph.2:6)

(6) Marriage–we are “now” married to Him we are his wife not just a bride in waiting or a ceremonial bride we have full covenant rights to all that is his now; we have a relationship not just a religion. (Rom.7:1-2)

(7) The Throne (seat of authority)–our identity is that of a king and we rule with Him in and from His throne having been brought into kingdom authority as one. (Rom.5:17)
