The heavens “drop” at the presence of God. What does that mean? Drop is the Hebrew word nataph, meaning to ooze, to distill gradually, to fall in drops, to speak by inspiration—in other words, to prophesy.

One of the ways God inspires us is by dropping His word upon us. This usually happens during corporate worship when the presence of God is strong. The word of the Lord falls like rain, and there are usually many in the service who get inspired to speak. Some will be inspired to sing prophetically as God drops a song upon them.

Every believer should operate in the prophetic realm in one or more of these prophetic levels. But our levels of grace differ. When the spirit of prophecy is strong in the local assembly, more believers will be able to operate in the different levels of prophecy.

You must discern your measure of grace and operate within its boundaries. All believers can prophesy, but all will not be able to operate in the highest level of the prophetic anointing—the office of the prophet. It is the highest and strongest level, and it will usher God’s people into a greater degree of glory. It is this higher degree of the prophetic anointing that we will discuss at more length in this book. 

Those who experience the manifestation of tongues can also prophesy. The Holy Spirit will inspire the believer to do both. The key is yielding to the Holy Spirit and allowing Him to inspire you to speak not only in a tongue that you do not comprehend and have not learned but also in your native language.

We believers can also pray by the inspiration of the Spirit. We can sing by inspiration. We can teach and preach by His inspiration. All results of the Holy Spirit’s inspiration are different types of prophetic manifestations in action. We should welcome and cultivate all forms of the Spirit’s inspiration.

The Bible (logos) expresses the general will of God for every believer, but a personal prophecy is more specific to the needs of individuals.
I have received hundreds of prophetic words in my lifetime. These words have brought greater clarity to my life concerning my destiny. These words have encouraged me in times of discouragement. These words have imparted strength and gifts to my life. I highly value personal prophecy, and I desire that every believer benefit from receiving the word of the Lord.

God is a personal God, and every person has a destiny in His plan. He wants each of us to choose to hear from Him. In our church, we have developed prophetic teams in order to meet the needs of many believers who desire to receive words of personal prophecy. In particular, every new member and new believer has the opportunity to receive personal prophecy. Many individuals request personal prophecy, so we have built our church to meet this need. Is it right to seek personal prophetic words, or should a person wait until such words are given only by the unction of the Holy Spirit? Join the conversation today! 

When Moses could no longer bear the weight and burden of ministry, God told Moses to choose 70 people and that he would place the burden on them. When Moses chose the people, they all began to prophesy.

In this episode we talk about how when the spirit of God falls on us, we have the ability and inspiration to not only speak in our language but in an unknown language (just like in Acts.)

Even if you do not have the "gift" of prophecy, if you speak in tongues, you are already operating in the prophetic realm. Tune into this episode as we discuss known and unknown languages!

In this episode, we continue our drive into the prophetic — today we are talking about the Prophetic Advantage. Paul addressed this in Romans when the Jews and the Gentiles were both in sin — the Jews with the law were to be condemned and the Gentiles without the law were to be condemned.

The question was asked, "what advantage then has the Jew?"

"...for unto them were committed the Oracles of God." The word "oracle" means the prophecies.

The difference was that the Jews had the prophetic word of God. That grace gave them what I refer to as the "prophetic advantage."
