In these last days every believer
"And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams. And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; And they shall prophesy." Acts 2:17-18

Prophetic Training Pursue love, yet desire earnestly spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy. 1 Corinthians 14:1 Father God desires that we as his children know His voice, as any child knows their earthly father’s voice. It is important for us to know His voice so that we can rely on Him for direction, and wisdom in our everyday lives. He speaks to us in many different ways and we must learn how He does this. Prophetic training will allow us to know when He speaks to us, and will allow us to minister to those that He places in our path. The gift of prophecy is one of the gifts of the Spirit listed in 1 Cor 12:8-11. It is a gift given to us by the Holy Spirit. It is for every child of God no matter the age of the believer. Training will consist of teachings, impartations, activities, activations, and Scripture reading. When you finish this training, you will be able to hear the Father’s voice for yourself and for others. You will also be able to prophesy with confidence and give others assurance that the Father truly loves them. Prophetic words will release Father God’s heart toward an individual or a corporate people. |
