When the season of a precise, prophetic word kicks into activation in time and space, the manifestation of such words does not necessary have to pan out towards a particular direction or expectation of our own person, or even that of a corporate group of people. How many times have we missed the precise speakings and fulfillment of God will through prophecy because we allow false, inaccurate spiritual frame of thinking to judge our hope and expectation.
The intention of the father in the fulfillment of what was declared must be in synch with clear biblical values, principles and standards that does not contradict the overall desired counsel of the father either for a community, or a nation. Prophecies, especially with regards to communities, cities, and nations are given on a seasonal, progressive base that requires awareness and maturity for accurate interpretation and clarification.
Just has we need to read the word of God in a pre-and post-content attitude before we can truly understand the mind of the father for the statement in use, so it is with prophecy. If we lack the context of a given prophetic word, we will certainly misjudge the direction, intention, and the divine expectation of the Spirit of thou says the Lord.
Prophecy aligns with certain eternal value standards, and revelatory framework that must be precisely clear to intercessors, watchmen, and gatekeepers. Prophecies do not work with our own preference or expectations of truth, justice, or even judgement.
Purity of heart and thought is needed in seeing and participating in God’s prophetic program. When we mix our unbridled feelings and emotion to the unfolding plans of the Lord because we base our eyes on how negative and terrible things seem on the outward, we will definitely step out of our position like Saul into a ministry position we are not assigned, and that eventually bring disqualification and judgement on us.
Understanding the overall kingdom agenda of God over your life, family, community, city and nation gives you the edge to follow the progressive, unveiling truth of God’s prophetic plans, and its fulfillment in time.
