A PROPHETIC GENERATION
There is a story in the Old Testament about a prophet (seer) named Samuel whom the bible says that as he grew, not one of his words fell to the ground, meaning that every prophetic word that he spoke came to pass. He heard the audible voice of the Lord as the Lord called him at a very young age. At the time, he did not recognize the Lord's voice at first. (1 Samuel 3) but then he answered and was launched out as one of the greatest prophets in history.
In the book of 1 Samuel 9, there is a story of a man named Saul who was also called to be a prophet (seer) with a unique gift. Saul's father Kish lost his donkeys and sent Saul and his servant to look for them. In 1 Samuel 9 when Saul went to look for his father's donkeys, he first passed through Ephraim. Ephraim means double fruitfulness. Then he passed through Shalisha. This word means "Three things" and this is the first place that the fruits ripen each year. Then he passed through Shaalim. This means Cave. Then he passed through the territory of Benjamin. Benjamin is a popular given name for males, derived from Hebrewבנימין translating as "son of my right [hand]" Then he passed through Zuph which means "Honeycomb". I believe that each destination that he passed through had a significant meaning pertaining to his destination.
After traveling thus far, Samuel and his servant still couldn't find the donkeys, but the servant said, there is an honorable man in this city and all that he says surely comes to pass. The story goes on to say that as they were walking, they met up with the Prophet Samuel. God told Samuel the day before, that he was going to meet Saul, and He told him every detail about him before they met. After they met, Samuel anointed Saul to be a prophet, and said that he would become the king of Israel. He prophesied with such accuracy and precision. Samuel even told Saul by word of knowledge, that his father's donkeys were already found.
The Holy Spirit is showing me that He is raising up prophets, releasing prophetic gifts and using them to proclaim His word with such precision and accuracy to the nations. We are beginning to experience this on a new level.
The Lord says; just as I did in days past, I will speak and lead you in unusual ways. I am raising up those who will prophesy with precision and accuracy. Their ears will be fine-tuned to hear My voice, and they will speak in harmony with My words. I will join them together with other voices as in a company of prophets. Don't covet the mantles of the prophets of old, because I am releasing a fresh anointing and new mantles in this day and age. I am raising up those to begin to see beyond their natural sight and comprehend beyond their natural senses. They will be attuned to the symphonies of heaven. Those who are tuned in to My voice will no longer be led astray by the voices of strangers. They will discern false teachings and false prophets, and they will recognize the genuine from the profane. I will give them keen discernment, and they will learn how to enter into My presence with ease.
What you think that you may have lost, will certainly be found. I have set you in a particular direction for a purpose and with a plan. Listen for My voice in times of loss, and in times of need. There are times that I will meet with you when you least expect it, and speak to you in unusual places. Just as Samuel anointed Saul with a flask of oil, I call each one individually, and I have a unique way of bringing each one of you into your destiny. Just as I spoke to Samuel as a youngster, there will also be many who have been marked from a young age and they will soon recognize My calling. There are also those who have been called to be prophets to the nations, regardless of their age or gender. They will walk in a life of victory because they are Spirit led and not led by their own desires. They will enter into this higher dimension, and they will receive the fullness of what I have for them. I will place My word in their mouth, which will bring correction as well as direction, as they carry My word and My glory to the ends of the earth says the Lord.
1 Samuel 3:10
Now the Lord came and stood and called as at other times, "Samuel! Samuel!" and Samuel answered, "Speak, for Your servant hears."
1 Samuel 3:19
So Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground.
1 Samuel 9:6a
And he said to him, "Look now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is an honorable man; all that he says surely comes to pass.
1 Samuel 10:6
Then the Spirit of the Lord will rush upon you, and you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man.
