Wisdom and Prophecy

I believe it is the will of the Lord Jesus Christ for all believers to prophecy, have visions and dreams. Prophecy, visions, and dreams are not for a few, or for a few groups, they are for the whole body of Christ. –(Acts 2:17-18)

There are those called into the prophetic gifts, those called in the prophetic gifts, should flow in the prophetic faithfully and with grace. Read and study all anointed teaching on prophecy, and the ministry of the prophet, seek out other prophetic people and begin to minister and prophecy together. –(1 Cor. 14:31)

The more you prophecy, the more you grow in prophecy. At the same time pray for the Lord to fill you with wisdom, that you walk in prophecy with the wisdom of God. –(Heb. 5:14)

When giving prophetic words give people free will don’t force them, give prophetic council with prophetic words in wisdom, and advice, do not use the prophetic gifting to tell them what to do with their life, etc. You are to lay the prophetic word before them allowing them to be prayerful, and see where the Lord wants them to go. Use prophecy to confirm what God has already said to them, but don’t use prophecy to tell them to go or they’re as if it is command from God. They are to pray and see if the Lord confirms the prophetic word. –(Rom. 8:14)

Those who give prophetic words are to give account of those words, yes it is grace, and we give them grace. If a person who gives prophetic words makes a mistake, they should be humbly and say they are sorry, we learn from our mistake. –(Heb. 5:14)

When you prophecy, test the prophecy, does it line up with the Word of God, nature of Christ, bear witness with the Holy Spirit, does it bring glory to Christ, what are the other prophetic people saying about what God says to you? Be open to other prophets and prophetic people. –(1 Cor. 14:29)

As you flow in prophetic gifting, you are to flow in wisdom, wisdom in how to apply the prophetic words the Lord give you. We should not give up on prophecy, but learn and grow in prophecy. –(1 Thess. 5:19-21)

Those who are mature in prophesy, we should seek their wisdom, and council, are show respect for what the Lord has giving them for the church. We must understand there is the gift of prophecy, prophetic gifting, prophets, mature prophets, and then there are apostles. We must know the order of the house, and submit to other prophets, mature prophets, and prophets are to submit to apostles and apostles are to hear them and care for them. –(1 Cor. 14:32)
