Prophecy

To encourage those who have earnestly desired the gift of Prophecy but who feel like they messed up so bad that God’s not going to trust them again...

To encourage those who feel like they try and try, so hard, but it never quite happens.

To those who have the gift of prophecy, but have thought themselves not good enough, or incapable.

Imagine God teaching you to walk...

You watch a baby learning to walk, taking his first steps. Proud parents, hoping their child will walk this time, clapping and cheering, encouraging. Why? Because their child is trying! Trying to walk! They don’t yell at him if he falls over, no they pick him up and say well done! You tried! That was amazing! Then they encourage for another attempt. What would happen if that child gave up because they thought they couldn’t do it? We’d all be on our knees.

Maybe we’re on our knees in the prophetic, because we gave up learning to walk.

When you trust God, and really try, your heart and motives in the right place, God says Look! That’s my child, learning to walk! God’s in heaven cheering you on, loving you whether you walk or stumble.

Don’t give up and resign yourself to a life of crawling, when God’s desire is for you to fly.

Walking takes practice. Don’t give up when I seems like all you do is fall. Babies fall and fall again – and then, one day, they walk! They fall many more times before they’re able to just do it, even then for a while they’ll fall at any opportunity.

It’s a test of character. How do you deal with failure? Do you give up and let it crush you, or do you learn from it and try again?

How many times do babies fall when they’re trying to learn to walk? How often do you see them with parents holding them steady as they learn? Lots.

God wants us to live in the prophetic, to walk in the prophetic. His hand will always be there to guide us and steady us, but I believe He desires us to be able to walk unaided, confident in His teaching and Hid love.

If your heart is for God, to follow His command to love Him and to love your neighbour, if all you do is for God’s glory and not your own, if your life is worship, then how wrong can you go?

If you’re not perfect, like me and the rest of us, Praise God that He’s always there to pick us up when we fall and that His grace and mercy and love is big enough to cover all our mistakes!

“Seek ye first the Kingdom of God,
And His righteousness,
And all these things shall be added unto you,
Allelu, alleluja”
