I’ve sown the Word for decades in my heart, praying for it to be manifested in my life. Through the years, I’ve seen the Lord fulfill many promises in His Word; I’ve waited a long time for others. Now I’m seeing seeds sown many years ago coming into harvest. I’ve make mistakes like anyone else in my Christian walk, but I’m on a continual journey of spiritual discovery that I never want to end. I’m hungry for the Lord to give me wisdom, understanding, and revelation in my knowledge of Him.
According to 1 Corinthians 14, prophecy isn’t just for edification, encouragement, and comfort; prophecy is also a word of knowledge. When the secret of someone’s heart is revealed, it causes him to fall down on his face, worship God, and say that God is truly in this place (1 Corinthians 14:25-26).
Many Christians who believe in prophecy think that only certain individuals are chosen to prophesy. It’s true that only certain believers are called to the office of a prophet (Ephesians 4:11). However, the spiritual gift of prophecy, listed in 1 Corinthians 12:10, doesn’t refer to the office of a prophet. According to the Word of God, “all” can prophesy.
“For you can all prophesy, one by one,” Paul writes,” that all may learn and all may be encouraged” (1 Corinthians 14:31).
Our pastor declared yesterday morning that he doesn’t want us or our church to miss out on what God has for us.
Months ago, I had a vision of three golden bowls coming together as one. It hung above our congregation. There was a spout, and it was slowly tipping. I could see a thick golden liquid at the edge of the spout just ready to pour. I asked the Holy Spirit what this meant. The Holy Spirit led me to Revelation 5:8. God has heard and gathered all our prayers in his golden bowls of incense in heaven, and our answers are ready to be poured out. His salvation, His healing, His deliverance, and His anointing are waiting to be manifested in this place. But we must do our part. We must empty ourselves and allow God to move without prejudice. We must press in deeply in prayer and petition Him to open the heavens. And when He pours, He shall pour through our yielded hearts into the lives of a starving people. Compassion will be as water turning into new wine. And this outpouring of heaven will flow through and out of us into Anniston and all around.
Thirty-five years ago I was driving up Quintard Avenue past this church on the hill, which was Harvest Temple at the time. I was listening to Dr. David Yonggi Cho prophesying that one day God would pour out His Spirit in great power in northern Alabama. Perhaps, this church on the hill was a part of his vision. I wouldn’t know about that, but I do know we are “a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that we may proclaim the praises of Him who called us out of darkness into His marvelous light” (1 Peter 2:9).
This church on the hill is chosen to be His light in the darkness. The Lord has set apart this house, this place for His holiness and power. All can prophesy. Humble yourself. Seek the Lord. Ask Him to reveal Himself to you. You are a chosen people. He can give you another vision of His purpose. Perhaps, you shall see what I have experienced with greater clarity or bring a fresh perspective to it. We were created for such a time as this. Are we preparing our hearts and gathering for the Holy Spirit to open the heavens and pour? Will we let God be God? Will we press in and pray?
“Therefore, I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me” (Micah 7:7).
“And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of 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” (Joel 2:28-29, Acts 2:17-18).
“I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; They shall never hold their peace day or night. You who make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent, and give Him no rest till He establishes and till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth” (Isaiah 62:6-7).
