Things I Learned About Prophetic Ministry

I Thess.5:20-21- “Despise not prophesying, prove all things, hold fast that which is good.”

Things I learned: I have been in prophetic ministry for over 30 years I have literally ministered to thousands of people personally and as many as 400 personal prophesies in one week, I have been blessed to see the word reveal hearts and change lives forever to the glory of God.

I continue to hear of prophetic words that have come to pass including children that were ministered to and watch them grow into adults fulfilling what the Lord had said many years before it is exciting to say the least.

I also learned early that the ministry must not be built around the gift but on the giver the Lord Jesus Christ, I also learned early that He uses us inspite of us not because of us, I have missed it many times the only thing i can do about that is grow through it learn why and be responsible for it when it is a clear miss.

I have also learned we must avoid becoming professional prophets because we think it is expected of us “professionalism is the ability to continue when there is no true anointing”.

7 Things To Remember About Prophetic Ministry!

(1) Purity of motives are essential in prophetic ministry; example don’t prophesy for an offering but rather be one.

(2) We must be responsible for the word that we give Example: If you tell someone to quit their job and if they go broke because of it make sure your ready to support them.

(3) Don’t judge by outward appearance the Lord speaks to the potential the seed not to the flesh.

(4) Be accountable both to the person you are ministering to and also the authority that God has put into their lives etc.. parents pastors leaders or whoever they are subject too. (note when I minister to a child I ask where their parents or guardian are).

(5) The gifts are not to impress the public if you are not sure about something submit it to the person Example: Don’t tell them their name is Sam when it’s Jerry don’t tell them they have a son when they don’t just Be real, this is not to say God will not reveal these things many times he does just don’t try to impress.

(6) Prophecy from a platform of faith (Rom.12:6) not fear or a negative vision If you see darkness wait for the light to come and then prophesy.

(7) Never dominate or use the gift to control others If it is really the Holy Spirit then He will reveal Jesus to the spirit, soul, and the body bringing life and encouragement to the hearer.

7 Keys For Advancing The Kingdom

Of the increase of His kingdom (government) and peace there shall be no end. (Isa. 9:7a)

A rock was cut out of a mountain without mans hands, and became a great mountain, and it filled the whole earth. (Dan.2:35)

The Kingdom of God is the rule of God through our Lord Jesus Christ

Advancement is the act of moving forward,improvement,progress and promotion.

7 Keys:

(1) Through walking in the love of God –We can’t have kingdom advancement if we have strife and bitterness in our heart.

(2) By taking the limits off of God–The kingdom will advance to every area of life spirit,soul, body,financially,emotionally,socially,relationally.

(3) By eliminating excuses for not advancing we cannot bring in the kingdom, it brings us in, and the Holy Spirit will lead us into advancement.

(4) Through proper focus: our greatest hindrance is distractions that take away our focus. petty issues,dogmas,negative relationships etc.etc.

(5) Through inclusion not exclusion the kingdom advances when we come together through covenant and we include those who don’t think like us, look like us we do this without fear of being polluted or backsliding. “consider the life of Jesus” if others don’t receive you must be bigger then their rejection and love them and bless them anyway.

(6) Through wisdom— wisdom is the ability to apply the principles of the kingdom accurately to every area of life, Wisdom builds the house.

(7) Through leaders releasing the people into the work of the ministry to where they are no longer co-dependent on the five fold ministry.

1 Cor.12:9 To one is given the working of miracles. the word working here means to activate or to operate.

To begin with all the gifts are grace gifts; meaning they are not earned by the wisdom of men, but they are to be received by faith.

Eph. 2:1 We are saved by grace through faith and that not of ourselves it is the gift of God not of works, so no one can boast about it.

7 thoughts concerning miracles:

(1)—– It is a mis-belief to think that God will do miracles without our participation.

(2)—– God’s part is grace (divine en-ablement) our part is faith which the response of trust in His grace.

(3)—– How he started in our life when he brought us common salvation, is the same pattern for working in our lives now.

(4)—–Grace and faith will not allow us to focus on the condition or the reason for the condition such as sins,attacks, blame etc.etc., only that God be glorified in and through this miracle. Jn.9:1-5

(5)—–Miracles help us on our journey in life; walking in divine wisdom may prevent us from needing a miracle, but there should be no guilt if we find that we need one.

(6)——Miracles often happen in the atmosphere of proper relationships where the gifts of the Holy Spirit can flow, consider the first miracle Jesus did was at a wedding and it involved others. (Jn.2:1)

(7) —-We cannot earn a miracle by our good works nor disqualify ourselves by our bad works.

We simply breath in Grace and breath out Faith!

The Cleansing Of The Conscience

Heb. 9:13-14 –For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh,

how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

The blood did not just cleanse us from sin, but our conscience from religious dead works to worship the Living God.

The word conscience is sunedesis in the Greek “to know within oneself”

7 things about the conscience:

1—It was a product of the fall, it was given by God to govern man until the law came, after that it has to be cleansed under the government of God, and only by the blood of Jesus.

2—It is shaped by our culture, authority figures, and religious influence or upbringing.

3—It is often mistaken as being God speaking to us mostly in condemnation, accusations and excuses.

4—It becomes dirty and unreliable through the dead works of religion.

5—It will either accuse us or excuse us, but never reveal Christ or bring us to God it does not base things on what is God or not, but good and evil sins or not sins.

6—We cannot clean our own conscience, it takes a “clean man” (Jesus) to cleanse our conscience He does this by His blood, to worship the living God not a dead religion.

7—A clean conscience brings happiness, liberty, and the fruit of the Kingdom of God.

“In the teaching of the ashes of a red heifer in Numbers 19 the one who needed cleansing would arise on the 3rd day and on the 7th day would be restored to fellowship.

The 3rd day typifies the finished work of Christ while the 7th day typifies the sabbath rest in Christ.

Our conscience is always to be seated in the finished work of Jesus Christ when this happens we will move into a Sabbath rest having confidence with God and peace with ourselves and others.”

Scott Stimson Sr

Gen.1:28 And God Blessed them; and God said to them, Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air and over everything that moveth upon the earth.”

5 areas of ruler-ship:

(1) Be fruitful——— The thought here is to be and not do; fruitfulness is not an effort it is the result of the right seed in the right environment.

(2) Multiply———–Accelerated increase; when we lose our ability to calculate, when it is like counting stars and sand if we can calculate it through our own mind it would be addition not multiplication God has more to do through us then we can calculate or comprehend.

(3) Replenish———–Fill the earth think in terms of plenty We begin this by filling our earth (life) with righteousness peace and joy “the kingdom” We fill our city, nation, and world with the knowledge of the glory of God.

(4) Subdue-————-To overpower the earth to bring it into order again this begins in us then we establish principles of kingdom living.

(5) Have dominion——Again the key word is “have” dominion not take when ever I hear someone say I am taking authority it always makes me question why don’t we just have authority why do we have to keep taking it some where in our thinking we must of let it go or else we would not have to take it again authority just is.

The dominion is in all three realms:

(1) The sea———Lower regions of the earth, The fish of the sea speaks of “The troubled sea of humanity”

(2) The earth——-creeping things, the beast of the field, middle ground, no real life just mediocrity.

(3) The heavens —-where the birds fly, the high places of human wisdom the philosophy’s imaginations principles and powers,

All three realms must bow their knees to the Lord Jesus Christ and His dominion working through us. (Philippians 2:8-9)

7 Important Keys To Receiving Healing

Isa 53:5 amp. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our GUILT and iniquities: the chastisement (needful to obtain) peace and well being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes that (wounded Him) we are healed and made WHOLE.

1–Recognize that Jesus already healed us at the cross, but our bodies and minds may not know it yet.

2–Never make excuses for the infirmity like generational or where i live, where I work etc. it is easy to reason our way through it which often is just doubt in disguise.

3–Let your faith stand in the power of God not in the wisdom of men It is because of His mercy not our perfect wisdom on how to do all the right things. 1 Cor. 2:5

4–We receive by grace through faith not our own ability to keep rules and methods.

5–Understand we don’t need to try to believe but we are believers by birth; just be.

6–We should never try to hide sickness (physical or emotional) out of pride or embarrassment share it with the right people who can help our faith and agree and encourage us.

7–Depend upon the help of the Holy Spirit to receive healing, He is our helper not our performance monitor and He will show us how to not just be healed but be made whole.

Breathe in grace breathe out faith!

Truth That Liberates From Selfish Attitudes

3 things that free us from selfish attitudes:

1–When we know our Father really loves us on the basis of who He is not on the basis of what we do, He is not looking for our performance but our heart.

(1 Jn.4:16-17–Rom.8:38-39)

2–When we know we can trust Jesus more than we mistrust people, and we understand His purpose is to conform us into His image and rules over all the kingdoms of men. When we understand we may fail in our journey but that is not our destiny nor is it the completion of our legacy. He is still in control meaning he is able to turn the hearts and change the circumstances no matter how they appear.

( Rom.8:28-29-Pro.3:5)

3–When we know how to release our cares unto Him; The more we struggle to have our own way the less we will get the results we want, The Lord will bring us to a place where we no longer live in the “sweat” of self-effort but from His rest we do reign.

(Ezk.44:15-18) The sons of Zadok would not clothe themselves with anything that would cause them to sweat, no wool upon them, only linen showing the righteousness of Christ rather than the self effort of man.

1 Pet 5:7-8 ( Amp.) Casting the whole of your care, all your anxiety, all of your worry, all of your concern, over on Him; for He cares for you affectionally and cares about you watchfully.

Scott Stimson Sr.

What Is Real Faith?

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.(not yet revealed to the physical senses- amp.) Heb.11:1

Real faith flows out of the heart not out of the head, It is unseen reality and it is more sure than what we can see. ( Mk 11:23-24 )

Real faith is born out of relationship with the source of faith “The Lord Jesus Christ” it is not just a tool to get us out of trouble or a way of performance to get God to like us It is not 3 steps 10 steps or just another formula it is a relationship of trust with the Master. (Gal.3:11)

Real faith is the ability to see the end result, and count it as done now.

Real faith is rest based upon what Jesus has already done in His death, burial, and resurrection. ( Heb.4:3 )

Real faith is substance; hope is the vessel of the substance, and love is the force of the substance.

Real faith is always connected to grace, patience, mercy, hope, victory, and it needs no explanation.

Real faith has already defeated every enemy we could ever face in this life, it is the faith of Jesus Christ.

(Gal.2:20)

Real faith is the victory that has already overcome the world. (1 Jn.5:4)

Real faith is the Life Style of Jesus being witnessed in the earth through His people.

7 Keys For Bridge Building

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called (Mature) sons of God. Mt.5:9

A peacemaker can get between two warring spirits and create peace without being contaminated by the confusion of their war.

Joshua 5:13-14 Are you for us, or for our adversaries? And he said, Neither; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come.

In book of Philemon, the Apostle Paul stood for a former slave who was his cell mate and he had fathered him in the gospel now the time had come for him to present Him back to his master Philemon, saying he now has confidence that both of them will do the right thing.

All of this was possible because Paul had built relationships with each of them, even going as far as to say that maybe all of this happened so that Onesimus (the slave) could become a brother in Christ, and be sent back useful to his master.

7 keys for bridge building found in the book of Philemon:

1——–Love must be the motivation and the greatest principle not religious law or duty, dogmas or preferences should never stand in the way of restoration because they are not more important then any people.

2——–Believe that God changes people but not necessarily the way we want them to be. He is able to make the weaker one to stand. Rom.14:4

3——–Be willing to sacrifice what you would desire in order to build bridges of restoration for others.

4——–Don’t be afraid to embrace each group or individuals that are at odds with each other there is no need to take sides we must know that the light in us is greater than the darkness in others .

5——-We should be open transparent and up front in our attempts to heal broken relationships.

6——-Be willing to stand for someone who cannot be able to stand for themselves.

7——-Give hope to each of them helping them to understand that they each are equally important to God’s overall plan and they can both benefit from reconciliation and unity.

Remember Christ died for the UN-Godly for the sinner for the ones others hate or despise remember anyone we cringe from we disqualify ourselves from healing.

“We are to be bridge builders, unity promoters, and fence menders”

What It Means To Have A New Day

The Old Covenant is not just Genesis through Malachi nor is the New Covenant just Matthew through Revelation, but this is a particular way in which God dealt with His people.

It is important for us that we make sure we live, preach, and prophesy with a new covenant mentality.

Examples an old covenant mentality is external and futuristic, and a new covenant mentality is internal and flows out of The finished work of Christ.
