a. God wants to restore to all His sons and daughters that community with Him that was
broken in the Garden of Eden. He wants His community to be prophetic.
b. Prophecy is revealing to the person the Heart of God.
c. Prophetic community encourages, edifies and comforts each other
d. Prophecy is not just for at church on Sunday. It’s for outside the church every day.
e. You filter a prophetic word with love and the Word of God
II. God’s desire is that we all prophesy and this is done in a prophetic community
Acts 2:17- 18 In the last days,’ God says, ‘I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your
sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions,
and your old men will dream dreams. In those days I will pour out my Spirit
even on my servants—men and women alike—and they will prophesy.
Also, Paul says in I Corinthians 14:5, I wish you could all speak in tongues, but even
more I wish you could all prophesy. For prophecy is greater than speaking in tongues,
unless someone interprets what you are saying so that the whole church will be
strengthened.
Prophet Eddy: What is the Prophetic Community?
Sandy: What are some misconceptions that people have about the gift of prophecy and
what can we do to help become more comfortable prophesying so we can walk in what
the Prophet Joel prophesied about?
III. We Prophecy by Faith
Romans 12:6 In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well.
So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has
given you.
Eddy: How does cultivating a relationship with God help us grow our faith to know that
we can recognize the voice of God?
Sandy: In this particular faith process of exercising the gift of prophesy within the
Prophetic Community, how important is cultivating fellowship with hose in the
community and how does that help us build our faith in the area of prophesying?
IV. There is Safety in the Prophetic Community
Protocol brings order. Order gives a sense of safety and security.
Eddy: First order of protocol, if as we discussed earlier God wants all of us to prophesy,
does this mean that we are all prophets?
Sandy: How should we give a person a word from God? Do we need to say “thus say the
Lord” or “God told me to tell you”?
Eddy: How does the prophetic community help us to stay accountable when giving a
prophetic word?
Sandy: As a leader in the prophetic community here at Hope United, when people are
“practicing” the prophetic how do you gauge if the words being given are words from the
heart of God and how do you correct something that may not be from God without
discouraging
