SADOZ is the HOME OF THE SUPERNATURAL. It is the HOME for the manifestation of SPIRITUAL GIFTS. When we talk about THE PROPHETIC, we are talking about a few things:
- Prophesy
- Vision
- Knowing things by the Spirit
- Hearing things by the Spirit.
But our emphasis tonight is PROPHESY.
The first thing you must understand is that, just as GOD wants everyone to SPEAK IN TONGUES, HE ALSO WANTS EVERYONE TO PROPHESY. Do you remember Joel 2:28-29?
“And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.”
Paul, in another place, said –
“I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied.”
The second thing you must know is that THE GIFT IS ALREADY IN YOU.
Prophesy is not a gift we need to pray for; it is a gift we need to stir and activate from within us. You birth it forth!
IT TAKES FAITH. When I say it takes faith, I do not mean some complicated thing. You believe that God can use you and that God is using you. But for you to say what God is putting in your mind means you have the faith.
Rom 12:6 says, “Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith.”
Here are two crucial points:
- You will not go unconscious while you are prophesying.
- You will not forget your prophecy.
Now, let me ask you – HOW MANY OF YOU THINK THAT THOSE THAT PROPHESY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING WHILE PROPHESYING???
You feel they are unconscious somehow, can you signify? I want to tell you that people used to feign as if they were unconscious, but the truth is that they are not. They think that if people know that they are in their senses, they will think what they are saying is fake.
If you can prophesy here, in the house, please tell us sincerely – DO YOU GO UNCONSCIOUS?
Remember, before you started speaking in tongues, you also thought that those that SPEAK IN TONGUES go unconscious. But you have realized now that you don’t go unconscious, right?
5 – People don’t forget their prophecy, and that is because they are not unconscious.
They can remember even though they can forget after some hours or days. This is the way prophesy comes – it’s like a hose or pipe. It can’t store water but water passes through it. The words you are speaking forth pass through your mind before coming out of your mouth.
I will show you in the Bible that the first PEOPLE that prophesied in the Bible did not go unconscious! In the book of Acts Chapter 2, we saw 120 people got baptized for the first time ever in the New Testament. They spoke in tongues and also PROPHESIED because people were ministered to.
The people hearing them started saying all kinds of things. They said maybe they were drunk. Tell me, if they were unconsciously or didn’t know what they were doing, HOW DID PETER HEAR THEM? But do you notice that Peter heard everything they were saying?
Acts 2:14 – “But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.”
Peter even said – “LOOK AT THE TIME.”
No.6 PROPHESY is like a bottled coke.
I will explain. If you understand this analogy and you have faith, you will prophesy in less than 20 minutes from now. Prophecy is like a bottled coke. When you SHAKE A BOTTLE of coke rigorously and you OPEN the lid, what’s going to happen?
Thank you. It will gush out. How many of us have been praying in tongues one time, and you felt as if God wants to use you to give prophecy? You even hear the first line like: ‘I AM THE LORD’ coming to your mind. But you refused to speak it because you feel maybe you are the one thinking it or that since you were still conscious?
That first common statement you’re hearing in your mind is the LID of the bottle! If you can speak out that FIRST WORD by faith, THEN THE REST WILL START GUSHING OUT.
Do you get it? Yes, the first STATEMENT is usually the common statements around you. It may be slightly different or the same.
HOW PROPHESY HAPPENS.
-
A son or daughter of Zion who wants to prophesy should find a quiet place or where he is alone.
-
He should start with a worship or song that makes him tune into the spirit.
-
He should begin to STIR himself by speaking in tongues.
-
As soon as he hears the first word like “I AM THE LORD” rumbling in his mind, He should begin to speak.
-
The rest will start gushing out.
Plan for 30 minutes. If it didn’t happen the first day, round up your prayer once it’s 30 minutes and go again the 2nd and third day. You don’t need to fast, just a quiet environment where you can speak.
