PROPHETS ARISE
We
are living in exciting times as a new strength and a new zeal is coming
to the body of Christ. There will be new journeys for some, and new
beginnings for many. We are about to see an increase in the gifts of the
Holy Spirit and true prophets will be emerging.
There
is a story in the Old Testament about a prophet (seer) named Samuel,
whom the Bible says that as he grew, none of his words fell to the
ground, meaning that every prophetic word that he spoke came to pass.
When he was a young boy he heard the audible voice of the Lord calling
him. He didn’t recognize the Lord's voice at first but when he did, he
answered saying "Speak for your servant hears".
In
the book of 1 Samuel Chapter 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. They couldn't find the donkeys, but the servant said that there
was an honorable man in this city and everything 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 God
would tell him everything that is in his heart. When they met, Samuel
anointed Saul to be a prophet, and prophesied to him about becoming the
king of Israel. He prophesied with accuracy and precision. Samuel told
Saul by a word of knowledge that his father's donkeys were already
found. He also told him that he would be turned into another man when he
prophesied. Jesus is raising up prophets and releasing the gift of
prophecy in our time and using them to proclaim His prophetic words to
the nations.
The
Lord says: There are some things that you think you may have lost, but
they will be found. I have set you in a particular direction for a
purpose and with a plan. There are times that I will meet with you when
you least expect it, and speak to you in the places where you would
least expect. You will meet others along the way. Just as Samuel
anointed Saul with a flask of oil, I will anoint each one of you
uniquely and individually to bring you into your destiny.
Just
as I spoke through Samuel, there will be many prophets who will rise up
and become My voice to this generation. They have been marked from a
young age and they will soon recognize My voice. Some have been called
to be prophets to the nations.
They
will walk in a life of victory because they are Spirit-led and not led
by their own fleshly 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 mouths, 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 3:19
So Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground
1 Samuel 9:6
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.
1Samuel 9:19
Samuel
answered Saul and said, 'I am the seer. Go up before me to the high
place, for you shall eat with me today; and tomorrow I will let you go
and will tell you all that is in your heart.
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.
