Characteristics of Prophesying

  Prophecy is the act of speaking out
    the mind of God, under Divine
              inspiration.
There are some rules if you will that
 prophecy needs to attach to, here a few:
• Prophecy will:
• Be in accordance with scriptures.

• 2 Timothy 3:16 (NIV)
• 16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful
  for teaching, rebuking, correcting and
  training in righteousness,
Prophecy will:
 Give glory to Jesus, The Son of God.
• 1 John 4:1-3 (NIV)
• 4 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test
  the spirits to see whether they are from God,
  because many false prophets have gone out into
  the world. 2 This is how you can recognize the
  Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that
  Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from
  God, 3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge
  Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the
  antichrist, which you have heard is coming and
  even now is already in the world.
Prophecy will: Edify, not destroy.

• Build the Body, make it whole; not causing
  division or strife.

• Ephesians 4:11-12 (NIV)
• 11 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the
  prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and
  teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of
  service, so that the body of Christ may be built
  up
Prophecy will:
      Love the Sinner but hate sin.
• John 8:3-11 (NIV)
• 3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees
  brought in a woman caught in adultery. They
  made her stand before the group 4 and said to
  Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act
  of adultery. 5 In the Law Moses commanded us to
  stone such women. Now what do you say?” 6 They
  were using this question as a trap, in order to
  have a basis for accusing him. But Jesus bent
  down and started to write on the ground with his
  finger.
Prophecy will:
        Love the Sinner but hate sin.
•   7 When  they kept on questioning him, he
    straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of
    you who is without sin be the first to throw a
    stone at her.” 8 Again he stooped down and wrote
    on the ground. 9 At this, those who heard began
    to go away one at a time, the older ones first,
    until only Jesus was left, with the woman still
    standing there. 10 Jesus straightened up and asked
    her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one
    condemned you?” 11 “No one, sir,” she said. “Then
    neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go
    now and leave your life of sin.”
Prophecy will:
       Convict, but not condemn.

• John 3:17 (NIV)
• 17 For God did not send his Son into the
  world to condemn the world, but to save the
  world through him.
Prophecy will: Present The Lord as a
        solution, if faces a problem.
• Ephesians 3:20-21 (NIV)
• 20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably
  more than all we ask or imagine, according to
  his power that is at work within us, 21 to him
  be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus
  throughout all generations, for ever and ever!
  Amen.
Prophecy will:
            Not be controlling.
• 2 Timothy 2:24 (NIV)
• 24 And the Lord’s servant must not be
  quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone,
  able to teach, not resentful.
Prophecy will:
          Stand the test of time.

• Deuteronomy 18:20-21 (NIV)
• 20 But a prophet who presumes to speak in my
  name anything I have not commanded, or a
  prophet who speaks in the name of other
  gods, is to be put to death.” 21 You may say to
  yourselves, “How can we know when a
  message has not been spoken by the LORD?”
Prophecy will:
                 Be tested.

• 1 Corinthians 14:29 (NIV)
• 29 Two or three prophets should speak, and the
  others should weigh carefully what is said.
Prophecy will:
       Be a sign to the unbeliever.
• 1 Corinthians 14:24-25 (NIV)
• 24 But if an unbeliever or an inquirer comes in
  while everyone is prophesying, they are
  convicted of sin and are brought under
  judgment by all, 25 as the secrets of their
  hearts are laid bare. So they will fall down and
  worship God, exclaiming, “God is really among
  you!”
Prophecy will:
   Exhort. Invite the person to grow.
• 1 Corinthians 14:3 (NIV)
• 3 But the one who prophesies speaks to people
  for their strengthening, encouraging and
  comfort.
Prophecy will:
 Comfort. It consoles and encourages.
• 1 Corinthians 14:3 (NIV)
• 3 But the one who prophesies speaks to people
  for their strengthening, encouraging and
  comfort.
Prophecy will: Be given in proportion
       to the Speaker’s faith.
• Romans 12:6 (NIV)
• 6 We have different gifts, according to the
  grace given to each of us. If your gift is
  prophesying, then prophesy in accordance
  with your faith;
• Will continue next Thursday.
