Acknowledgments<br />

Thank you to everyone who has shown so much support for me as I have<br />

attempted to hear God speaking. You have been very underst<strong>and</strong>ing when I<br />

made mistakes, <strong>and</strong> very encouraging when I got it right. I would not be even be<br />

as far as I am today if it wasn’t for all of my friends <strong>and</strong> family who allowed me<br />

to prophesy words of life over you. God bless you forever, <strong>and</strong> reveal to you just<br />

how unimaginably great your destiny truly is. I pray that He touches you in a<br />

tangible way, that you would never be the same, for everything you have done<br />

for me.<br />

Introduction<br />

This book was compiled from a group of subjects of different ways to<br />

hear God speaking to you. A Comprehensive Study of the <strong>Art</strong> & <strong>Science</strong> of<br />

Prophecy. The ways God will speak to you are literally endless, but these<br />

methods are perhaps some of the most common, <strong>and</strong> easiest to underst<strong>and</strong>. It is<br />

meant to be used more as a reference manual, but is also organized in an order<br />

of chapters that will hopefully be the reader the most beneficial, if you should<br />

chose to read it clear through, cover to cover. You may not agree with<br />

everything, but you will gain a new perspective of prophecy while reading this<br />

book.<br />

Firstly to Yahweh who created us ultimately to fill us with His pleasure.<br />

Secondly to everyone who is hungry, not just to know the deeper things of God,<br />

but to experience Him on a perpetually more intimate level.<br />

What is written within this book is based on my own experiences.<br />

You practice at their own risk. I’ve made my own mistakes along the way.<br />

Perhaps there is no hard fast answer in the study of <strong>Prophetics</strong>?<br />

Keys<br />

This is a collection of miscellaneous notes taken about the subject of<br />

Prophecy, <strong>and</strong> its various aspects, to help better underst<strong>and</strong> what it is <strong>and</strong><br />

how to use it.<br />

Some Keys to Prophecy:<br />

Obedience to God, <strong>and</strong> being held accountable.<br />

o Obey the Law/His Word (obey even when you're afraid, if you step<br />

out in faith God will meet you half way)<br />

Love the Lord your God with all your heart<br />

Galatians 5:14 Love your neighbor as yourself<br />

For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: "You<br />

shall love your neighbor as yourself.”<br />

Romans 13:8-10 by loving others, we are loving God, & by<br />

loving God we are fulfilling all 10 comm<strong>and</strong>ments.<br />

Exodus 20:1-17 Obey the 10 Comm<strong>and</strong>ments<br />

1 Corinthians 14<br />

o Follow after love, <strong>and</strong> earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially<br />

that you may prophesy.<br />

Desire it that you may first glorify God, not yourself.<br />

<strong>An</strong>d second that you may edify (build up), exhort (call near), &<br />

Console (cheer up) others.<br />

Prerequisites:<br />

o Read, learning, studying, watching<br />

o Training, practice<br />

o Probationary trial<br />

o Apprenticeship, Mentoring<br />

Learn/Know the Bible by reading, listening to, & memorizing it.<br />

1 Peter 1:10 Seek out God<br />

o Concerning this salvation, the prophets sought <strong>and</strong> searched<br />

diligently, who prophesied the grace that would come to you.<br />

1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing<br />

o This is talking to God; you need to talk to him, if you expect him to<br />

talk to you.<br />

o When He talks to you, you need to listen by reading/listening to His<br />

word (the Bible)<br />

Luke 11:9 Be persistent for the Gifts of the Spirit.<br />

7


o I tell you, keep asking, <strong>and</strong> it will be given you. Keep seeking, <strong>and</strong><br />

you will find. Keep knocking, <strong>and</strong> it will be opened to you.<br />

Matthew 21:22 All things, whatever you will ask in prayer,<br />

believing, you will receive.<br />

Luke 11:9-10 so I say to you: <strong>As</strong>k <strong>and</strong> it will be given to you;<br />

seek <strong>and</strong> you will find; knock <strong>and</strong> the door will be opened to<br />

you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks<br />

finds; <strong>and</strong> to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.<br />

Learn from Old Testament Prophets, or current day Christians who<br />

possess the Spiritual Gift of Prophecy.<br />

o Moses was the example of the Old Testament.<br />

o Jesus was the example of the New Testament, <strong>and</strong> the best<br />

example.<br />

Prophets can learn from more experienced Prophets<br />

o Such as Samuel <strong>and</strong> his school of Prophets<br />

Keep a Spiritual Journal<br />

o Document things like prayers, dreams (night visions), vision (waking<br />

dreams), & other spiritual life experiences. This is what the Old<br />

Testament prophets did <strong>and</strong> partly why we have it in the Bible.<br />

Be humble, God uses the weak things of the world. This way the Glory<br />

goes to God, <strong>and</strong> people won't tend to believe this act of God was by the<br />

will of some great person.<br />

Acts 10:34 God is not a respecter of persons, what he does for one he is<br />

willing to do for all.<br />

1 Corinthians 14:31 You may all Prophecy.<br />

<strong>As</strong>k for other Spiritual Gift to help assist you, such as Discernment,<br />

Wisdom, Underst<strong>and</strong>ing, Revelation, Knowledge, & Interpretation.<br />

o 1 Corinthians 14:29 Judge what a person has prophesied<br />

Test what you are being told against Scripture to make sure it<br />

doesn’t go against GOD’s word, otherwise it’s something form<br />

your own imagination.<br />

God equips those who are available, not vice versa.<br />

Take EVERYTHING in the Bible Literally as well as symbolically.<br />

Sanctify your imagination!!!<br />

o Connections: (Matthew 12:34)<br />

Eyes to Mind (imagination) (physical & spiritual eyes) "Visual-<br />

Eyes"<br />

Mind to Heart (nervous system)<br />

Heart to Mouth (there is a major vain that runs form heart to<br />

your tongue)<br />

8


Ear to the Mouth (faith comes by hearing & hearing by the<br />

word of God)<br />

Faith paints a [mental] picture.<br />

The Gift of Prophecy is like a muscle, it has to be exercised to be<br />

strengthened. If you over exert it you will injure it. Even giving it time to<br />

rest it will grow. Feed it <strong>and</strong> it will grow.<br />

o Matthew 4:4, Man cannot live on bread alone, but on the Word of<br />

God.<br />

When prophesying:<br />

o Give a special touch on the shoulder, head, <strong>and</strong> forehead. This is<br />

the laying on of h<strong>and</strong>s <strong>and</strong> is typically used to impart.<br />

o Speak as to paint a mental picture, (be descriptive in your speech).<br />

o Attach high value to the word, 1 Peter 4:11.<br />

o Add Dramatic Pause <strong>and</strong> Tones with your voice for additional<br />

Impact.<br />

o Commit to fulfilling the prophecy if needed. Such as continued<br />

Encouragement.<br />

Don't just believe or think a prophecy into existence,<br />

o Speak it out<br />

o Write it down<br />

o Put it to music<br />

o Sing it out<br />

o Act it out<br />

Overmastering fear is a major accomplishment towards the Prophetic, but<br />

Perfect Love cast out all fear 1 John 4:18. Know that God loves you.<br />

o Also many people fear what they do not know/underst<strong>and</strong> which is<br />

a major part of the Prophetic. To overcome this you need to be<br />

curious (search out knowledge).<br />

Do not assume anything that you do not know for certain. It’s ok if your<br />

prophecy is somewhat vague.<br />

o 1 Corinthians 13:9 “For we know if part <strong>and</strong> we prophesy in part.”<br />

o Be vague if you have a vague underst<strong>and</strong>ing of what you’ve been<br />

told.<br />

o You can always ask God “what does this mean?”<br />

If God tells you something you must have faith, believe, <strong>and</strong> be confident<br />

that it will happen no matter how impossible it seems.<br />

o No IF’s or MAYBE’s<br />

Do not expect to underst<strong>and</strong> what God tells you, maybe ever. You may<br />

not live to see its fulfillment, some of the Old Testament prophets passed<br />

before their End Time prophecies did.<br />

9


o Our timing is not the same as God’s timing.<br />

o God is God of the last second.<br />

He may be doing this to test your faith.<br />

o Matthew 10:27 What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light;<br />

<strong>and</strong> what you hear whispered in the ear, proclaim on the<br />

housetops.<br />

o God may only be whispering something to you, make sure you are<br />

always listening.<br />

That “still small voice” (1 Kings 19:12)<br />

Or He “roars from Zion” (Joel 3:16)<br />

When you receive a prophetic word, you are to judge the word, not the<br />

prophet. The word can be:<br />

o Totally correct<br />

o Correct, but it was understood or interpreted incorrectly<br />

o Partially correct <strong>and</strong> the other part was incorrect.<br />

o False<br />

When you prophesy to someone on a personal level God reveals to them<br />

through you, their:<br />

o History<br />

o Destiny<br />

o Purpose<br />

o Identity<br />

o <strong>An</strong>d the secrets of their heart, by revealing these thing God is<br />

revealed to them through you.<br />

Once our senses are spiritually opened we not only hear form the Holy<br />

Spirit, but other spirits in this realm, so we must test them by asking them<br />

who is the true son of God 1 John 4:1-3. These sources are:<br />

o The Holy Spirit<br />

o <strong>An</strong>gles - to teach us the things of God<br />

o Our own spirit, soul, or mind - normally selfish, carnal, or material<br />

thoughts<br />

o Demonic spirits - things like belittling you, causing doubt, thinking<br />

evil of someone, etc…<br />

Revelation 19:10 All prophecy is the testimony of Jesus Christ.<br />

Prophets usually do not even consider themselves to be prophets.<br />

Be Alert & sensitive to what the Holy Spirit may be communicating to you.<br />

o Keep out on the current news <strong>and</strong> headlines.<br />

o Watch for these throughout your day, week, month, year….<br />

déjà vu,<br />

reoccurrences<br />

10


Themes<br />

Perception (Your "sixth sense")<br />

A guy feeling<br />

Instinct<br />

Advanced knowledge (this is the gift of Knowledge)<br />

Insight<br />

Intellect<br />

o Watch for something to jump out at you or really catch your<br />

attention.<br />

Especially when reading the Bible.<br />

Verses must be read in contexts, or they will be<br />

interpreted incorrectly.<br />

This also means knowing ancient Cultures <strong>and</strong> History<br />

during Bible times.<br />

o Know the Biblical meanings of:<br />

Symbols<br />

Shapes<br />

Colors<br />

Letter (specifically the ancient Hebrew letters)<br />

Numbers<br />

You will need to have a Biblical World View.<br />

o With this view type you can then use sources such as:<br />

Numerology<br />

Gematria<br />

<strong>As</strong>trology<br />

<strong>As</strong>tronomy<br />

Symbolism<br />

Other Jewish Holy Books<br />

Other religions Holy Books<br />

o Easier sources include:<br />

Bible<br />

Statics<br />

Patterns<br />

Forecasts (i.e.: Weather)<br />

History Books<br />

Encyclopedias<br />

Search Engines or Meta Crawlers<br />

o Occurring Things such as these are worth paying attention to:<br />

Intuition<br />

ESP<br />

11


Repeating Dreams<br />

déjà vu<br />

Gut Feelings<br />

Conscious<br />

Subconscious<br />

Read the Bible first before checking other sources.<br />

o Newspaper, Magazines, RSS feeds, Internet, TV News.<br />

Sources out of Israel are generally the most helpful.<br />

The entire Bible is prophecy, not just 1 /3 that is commonly believed.<br />

o Bible Code, for example<br />

o Surface text along with hidden layers or meaning<br />

All Biblical Prophecies should actually have as many as three<br />

fulfillments/layers<br />

Be faithful in the small ways God speaks to you, <strong>and</strong> He will speak to you<br />

in the greater ways Luke 16:10. These are some popular way God<br />

communicates to us:<br />

o Silence – sometimes silence is the best answer, maybe you already<br />

knew what to do, but were asking anyway because you didn't like<br />

the answer?<br />

o Creation – Romans 1:20<br />

o Impressions – a feeling you get about something<br />

o A quickening of Scripture – also works with other words, songs,<br />

lyrics, memories, or pictures suddenly brought into your mind, or<br />

heard aloud, or seen in the physical<br />

o Sings along the way<br />

o Glimpse – instantly seeing a picture or someone or something<br />

o Knowing something in your "knower." – You know, that you know,<br />

that you know.<br />

o Open <strong>and</strong> Closed "Doors"<br />

o The voices <strong>and</strong> counsel of others – many times God will speak to<br />

you through other, whether they are believers or not.<br />

o Coincidences – These are also known as Divine Appointments<br />

o Dreams<br />

o Inner Audible Voice – sounds audible but no one else hears it,<br />

almost like your hallucinating/delirious<br />

o Audible Voice<br />

o Visions – like seeing the spirit realm super imposed on top of the<br />

physical realm<br />

o Smelling, Tasting, Feeling, other senses – something that is not<br />

there in the physical<br />

12


o Trances – half awake half asleep state<br />

o Open Vision – seeing the spirit realm with your eyes open<br />

o Signs <strong>and</strong> Wonders – Supernatural Events<br />

o <strong>An</strong>gelic Encounters/Visitation<br />

o Being caught up in the spirit – being transported anywhere on Earth<br />

or Space.<br />

o Visitations from Jesus Himself<br />

God foretold the end from the beginning<br />

o This is the story of creation. He told all of human history in the first<br />

week of creation.<br />

o 2 Peter 3:8<br />

But don`t forget this one thing, beloved, that one day is with<br />

the Lord as a thous<strong>and</strong> years, <strong>and</strong> a thous<strong>and</strong> years as one<br />

day.<br />

When God tells you that you will live to see something happen, it usually<br />

means this will be the last major thing in your life you experience before<br />

He takes you home.<br />

o This was the case with Moses see the promise l<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> Simeon see<br />

the Messiah<br />

Know the Feasts of the LORD<br />

o Leviticus 23<br />

o This is GOD’s timetable, major events will happen on these days.<br />

Know the Sabbaths<br />

o this is Saturday<br />

Know when the day actually starts <strong>and</strong> ends<br />

o Sunset to sunset<br />

Know when the New Moon is<br />

o When the Moon starts visibly waxing in light, not when it’s<br />

completely dark.<br />

Know when the Jubilee year is. (Leviticus 25)<br />

Know when the Sabbatical year is. (Leviticus 25)<br />

Know that the first year was 1, not 0<br />

o There was also no year 0AD. It when from 1BC directly to 1AD<br />

The year 1001 is the start of the second millennium<br />

o 2001 starts the third millennium<br />

o 3001 starts the fourth millennium<br />

o 4001 starts the fifth millennium<br />

o 5001 starts the sixth millennium<br />

o 6001 (2001AD) start the 7 th millennium<br />

13


Many times you can find an application, underst<strong>and</strong>ing of, or<br />

interpretation of a prophecy or anything you believe God may be speaking<br />

to you in different way such as:<br />

o Something that happens on the Gregorian Calendar date may apply<br />

to the Hebrew calendar date (1/15/2012 = 1/15/5772 or Jan 15,<br />

2012 = Aviv 15, 5772)<br />

o If you wake up <strong>and</strong> notice the time on your clock says 5:17, God<br />

might be trying to tell you May 17th or a Bible verse like John 5:17.<br />

See whether it applies or not.<br />

Prophecies can also be found by studying these Hebrew text :<br />

o <strong>An</strong>agrams (such as the anagrammatic answer to Pilate's famous<br />

question, "Quid est veritas?" (What is truth?), namely, "Est vir qui<br />

adest" (It is the man who is here))<br />

o Onomastics (such as the names of descendants of a family tree<br />

when stung together in Genealogies)<br />

o Palindromes (like what Einstein did to find e=mc 2 when he noticed<br />

light in Hebrew spelled backwards was ray)<br />

o Pictograms (what is the hidden meaning of the Hebrew letters<br />

meanings when put together)<br />

o Etymology (origin of words <strong>and</strong> the way in which their meanings<br />

have changed throughout history)<br />

o Idioms (A modern, everyday form of symbolism)<br />

o Parables (like an analogy in story from, so the listener has to focus<br />

on the main points behind the story <strong>and</strong> therefore better<br />

remembers them)<br />

o Metaphors (This is basically symbolism)<br />

o Acrostic (This has an application in what is known as Bible Code)<br />

o Mnemonics/Acronym (This was used on the sign that was nailed on<br />

Jesus's Cross during His crucifixion: "Jesus, The Nazarene, <strong>An</strong>d King<br />

of, The Jews." in its original Hebrew "םידוהיה ךלמהו ירצונה ושי" is an<br />

acronym for the name of God, YHVH, or הוהי)<br />

o Equidistance Letter Sequence (Like in Bible Code inside a Matrix)<br />

o Homonym (two words having the same pronunciation but different<br />

meanings)<br />

Zechariah Missile/woman in a basket, or Obama falls like<br />

Lightning<br />

This can be done by reading the Hebrew Old Testament<br />

without the niqqud<br />

God may tell you something that you are not expecting, when you are not<br />

expecting it.<br />

14


o A lot of times it may even be something that you’d really rather not<br />

do.<br />

At least while you’re still new to prophecy.<br />

Prophecy is known to be hereditary.<br />

o “Sons of the prophets” (2 Kings 6:1)<br />

If prophecy is one of the highest achievement a human can obtain then is<br />

high Priest the second highest?<br />

o Like in Exodus 7:1 when Moses went to Pharaoh <strong>and</strong> God seemed to<br />

move both Moses <strong>and</strong> Aaron up one level.<br />

If Prophets are rich, or at least content with their lot, <strong>and</strong> they are<br />

humble. This might infer that Prophets were very grateful people.<br />

If Prophets are considered to be heroes, isn't this a reflection of Messiah<br />

himself?<br />

o Who care very deeply about people?<br />

o You could you say they were very selfless people, as opposed to<br />

being selfish people.<br />

Proverbs 18:21 The Tongue has the Power of Life <strong>and</strong> Death, <strong>and</strong> those<br />

who love it will eat its fruit.<br />

o Romans 4:17 Speak things that are not as if they are, <strong>and</strong> they will<br />

be/already are.<br />

John 5:19 this is what our Heavenly Father does, <strong>and</strong> is what<br />

we too can do.<br />

When it doesn’t make any sense, step out in faith, these are usually the<br />

most profound & accurate prophecies.<br />

Speak with Authority, <strong>and</strong> act upon it as if it has already happened. Speak<br />

in the Affirmative <strong>and</strong> in the Positive.<br />

o Speak words like: Amen, Declare, Decree, Proclaim, Comm<strong>and</strong>, <strong>and</strong><br />

Order.<br />

o Being redeemed Sons & Daughters of the Messiah <strong>and</strong> rightful heirs<br />

to the Kingdom we therefore have Authority to make these<br />

comm<strong>and</strong>s.<br />

Prophets are Motivational Speakers <strong>and</strong> Leaders.<br />

o Motivational Speakers add pauses or emphasis words for dramatic<br />

effect.<br />

o When reading scripture replace words like “they” or “them” with<br />

“you,” “I,” “we,” or “us” to make it personal.<br />

There are different levels of the seer/prophet. (Prophecy at the very least<br />

will Encourage & Comfort, <strong>and</strong> at the other limitless end, it Transforms &<br />

Creates)<br />

15


o Simple Prophecy - giving small words of encouragement, comfort,<br />

<strong>and</strong> edification.<br />

o Someone with a Prophetic <strong>An</strong>ointing, the Gift of Prophecy, or the<br />

Spirit of Prophecy - is anyone's for the asking.<br />

o Prophetic Ministry - someone who devotes much of their time<br />

ministering to people prophetically.<br />

o The Seer or Prophet - someone who holds the office of a Seer or<br />

Prophet, very often their very lives may be a prophecy, <strong>and</strong> are<br />

more likely than other levels to give prophecies of judgments<br />

whether they want to or not.<br />

Biblical titles for types of prophets:<br />

o Navi - one who proclaims, is a spokesman with a supernatural<br />

message that bubbles forth (Navi as in Navigator or one who leads<br />

the way)<br />

o Roeh - seer<br />

o Chozeh - a watchman, primarily defensive to protect crops, people,<br />

cities, etc… 3 different names for watchman are:<br />

Natsar<br />

Shamar<br />

Tsaphah<br />

o Nataph - to publicly preach God's Word that drops as dew from<br />

Heaven, or to speak by Heavenly inspiration<br />

o Prophetes - a Greek word for one who speaks for another, to<br />

foretells or interpret. One who prophecies; the word literally means<br />

(pro) beforeh<strong>and</strong>, & (phemi) saying.<br />

Some Types of Prophets:<br />

o Contemporary/Presbytery<br />

o Watchman/Guardian<br />

o Seer<br />

o Old Testament/New Testament<br />

o Church/Local/Community<br />

o Regional/National/International/Global<br />

o Traveling/Itinerary/Wondering<br />

o Prayer Warrior/Intercessory<br />

o Psalmist<br />

Types of the Word of God:<br />

o Logos, this is the written word of God in the Holy Bible. It is most<br />

obvious in the Old Testament prophecies, but is all throughout the<br />

Bible<br />

16


o Rhema, this is a Word of God that He speaks to you through a<br />

variety of ways. Rhema Words from God will never go against a<br />

Logos Word.<br />

Similarities between people who move in the Spirit <strong>and</strong> Crazies (is<br />

foolishness to the world):<br />

o Hearing voices <strong>and</strong> seeing things that others do not.<br />

o Repeatedly keeps trying, no matter how much they fail.<br />

o They talk to people who appear not to be there to others.<br />

o They do not care about what others think about them, or their<br />

appearance.<br />

Some of the reasons God has His people prophesy are for objectives:<br />

o Destiny<br />

o Ministry<br />

o Correction<br />

o Blessing<br />

o Admonishment<br />

o Change<br />

o Creation<br />

o Healing<br />

o Empower<br />

o Possession & Dispossession<br />

o Instruction<br />

o Counsel<br />

o Impartation<br />

o Confirmation<br />

Jeremiah 1:1-10 & Isiah 49:1-5 Prophets are typically born to be a prophet<br />

(to hold that office of ministry), but anyone can have the gift of prophecy,<br />

or the Spirit of prophecy come upon them.<br />

Prophecies that are stagnate or redundant assume the prophet has been<br />

out of touch with the Lord <strong>and</strong> therefore been forced to fall back on<br />

gifting <strong>and</strong> experience to meet the needs of who they are ministering to.<br />

Such as if the prophet says something very similar to most of the people<br />

there or make reoccurring visits with the same words every time.<br />

Prophecy is Foretelling <strong>and</strong> Forth telling<br />

o Foretelling is to predict the future<br />

o Forth telling is to cause/comm<strong>and</strong> the future<br />

Prophesy is having Insight <strong>and</strong> Foresight<br />

o Insight is knowing something instantly<br />

o Foresight is know something pertaining to the future<br />

17


The prophet takes the role of God to Men, <strong>and</strong> the role of Men to God.<br />

Feeling compassion for Man, <strong>and</strong> having sympathy for God.<br />

Prophets are generally made to be spectacle, whether that's a good thing<br />

or not.<br />

True Prophets profit the people, false Prophets do not (Jeremiah 23:32)<br />

Kabbalist, even though they do not believe in the New Testament, believe<br />

wisdom is in knowing the Gematria value of the Hebrew letters<br />

(Revelation 13:18)<br />

o They also calculate this value differently, by spelling out the name of<br />

each letter in a word then adding up those letter for the gr<strong>and</strong> total.<br />

For example the Hebrew letter Yod would not equal 10, but Yod +<br />

Dalth (10+4). However there are a few different spelling for each<br />

letter.<br />

Prophecy is not just precognition of the future, but can be Retro<br />

cognition, or seeing into the distant past.<br />

God is spirit <strong>and</strong> when He speaks we have to hear Him with our physical<br />

sense of hearing, other times we sense Him with our physical sense of<br />

seeing, <strong>and</strong> not hearing. This is why some prophets were known as seers,<br />

because they sensed His words with a different physical sense.<br />

18


Fruit<br />

God is usually more concerned with your character than your ministry. People<br />

will know you by your Fruit (The Fruit of the Spirit). I believe it is better to<br />

have the Fruit of the Spirit as your basis, then the Gifts of the Spirit.<br />

Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is:<br />

Love (charity)<br />

Joy<br />

Peace<br />

Patience (forbearance, or long suffering)<br />

Kindness (benignity)<br />

Goodness (modesty)<br />

Faithfulness (chastity)<br />

Gentleness (Mildness)<br />

& Self-Control (contentness).<br />

Against such things there is no law.<br />

Here are some suggested ways you can show love to people:<br />

Spend time serving <strong>and</strong> ministering to the people you want to love more,<br />

but not so much time they begin to get on your nerves.<br />

Look for the good qualities in people.<br />

Start saying things like "I love this," or “I love that." Talk about the things<br />

you love all the time, make a list of the things you love about God <strong>and</strong><br />

people.<br />

See people as your personal Love Trainers just like Physical Trainers,<br />

disguised as ordinary everyday people. Some trainers are easier than<br />

others.<br />

Try to imagine what people are feeling <strong>and</strong> going through when they need<br />

loved the most.<br />

Read or Listen to Heart wrenching stories <strong>and</strong> testimonials of people <strong>and</strong><br />

situations to increase your love.<br />

Listen to music that moves you.<br />

Watch videos that move you to love others.<br />

5 Fold<br />

The 5 Fold Ministry<br />

Each is represented by a finger, the Prophet is the Pointer finger,<br />

because it gives directions, <strong>and</strong> leads the way. Maybe you do not have,<br />

or operate in an office of ministry, but everyone has a ministry. I believe<br />

Yahshua will ultimately fulfill ministries of the King, Judge, Messiah,<br />

Bridegroom, <strong>and</strong> Nazarite. These are the others of the Five Fold<br />

ministry:<br />

Evangelical = middle finger, far reaching<br />

Pastor = ring finger, relationships<br />

Teacher = pinky, small enough to get in your ear<br />

Apostle = thumb, versatile <strong>and</strong> interacts with all other fingers.<br />

Guild lines to being a Godly Leader:<br />

1 Leaders have leaders.<br />

17 Their words evoke Confidence <strong>and</strong> Encouragement. Speak<br />

Enthusiastically of the Future. Speak of possible Success. Underscore the<br />

Positive.<br />

18 See the Good in others <strong>and</strong> bring it to the surface. More<br />

concerned with what someone Will Be.<br />

19 See a weakness as a future Strength. Questions as future Wisdom.<br />

20 Self-fulfilling Prophecies: “You’ll be our top performer” “I think you<br />

could do this if you tried” “I believe in you.”<br />

21 Relaxation is not a luxury, it’s a necessity.<br />

22 Quick to say “Thank You” “I appreciate You”<br />

where, why, <strong>and</strong> how.<br />

35 Underst<strong>and</strong> the importance of Timing. Timing is everything!<br />

36 Do not put off until tomorrow what can be done today.<br />

37 Followers know that you care about them, their families, <strong>and</strong> their<br />

Futures.<br />

38 The best leaders are not interested in taking credit, or drawing<br />

attention to themselves.<br />

39 Involve Everyone.<br />

Charisma has two general definitions:<br />

Compelling attractiveness or charm that can inspire devotion in others.<br />

A divinely conferred power or talent.<br />

The English term charisma is from the Greek χάρισμα khárisma, which means<br />

"favor freely given" or "God's gifts of grace (The Gifts of the Holy Spirit)." The<br />

term <strong>and</strong> its plural χαρίσματα (charismata) derive from χάρις (charis), which<br />

means "grace." Some derivatives from that root have similar meanings to the<br />

modern sense of personality charisma, such as "filled with attractiveness or<br />

charm," "kindness," "to bestow a favor or service," or "to be favored or<br />

blessed."<br />

These are some guideline how to being charismatic.


Charismatic people instantly make us feel important. Charismatic people<br />

instantly make us feel special. Charismatic people light up a room just by<br />

walking in.<br />

We can't always define it, but some people have it: They are supernaturally<br />

charismatic.<br />

Charismatic people build <strong>and</strong> maintain great relationships, consistently &<br />

positively influence the people around them, making them feel better about<br />

themselves. The kind of people everyone wants to be around, <strong>and</strong> wants to be.<br />

Successful does not equal Charisma. Charisma equals Success.<br />

Here are 8 habits of remarkably charismatic people:<br />

1. They have 2 ears <strong>and</strong> only one mouth.<br />

They listen way more than they speak. <strong>As</strong>k questions, maintain eye contact,<br />

smile, frown, <strong>and</strong> nod. Respond--not so much verbally, but nonverbally.<br />

Listening is all it takes to show the other person they're important.<br />

Then when you do speak, don't offer advice unless you're asked. Listening<br />

shows you care a lot more than offering advice, because when you offer advice<br />

in most cases you make the conversation about you, not them.<br />

Only speak when you have something important to say, important as in what's<br />

important to the other person.<br />

2. They give their undivided attention to others.<br />

Remarkably charismatic people listen closely to everyone, <strong>and</strong> they make all of<br />

us, regardless of our position or social status, feel like we have something in<br />

common with them, because we do.<br />

Don't check your phone. Don't glance at your monitor. Don't focus on anything<br />

else, even for a moment. Give them your undivided attention.<br />

3. They give before they receive, <strong>and</strong> often they never<br />

receive.<br />

26


Never think about what you can get, focus on what you can provide. Giving is<br />

the best way to show people you care about them.<br />

4. They are the most humble.<br />

The only people who are impressed by arrogant, pretentious, self-important<br />

people are other arrogant, pretentious, self-important people.<br />

But we admire a person who is excellent at something, <strong>and</strong> remains humble.<br />

Share your screw-ups. Admit your mistakes. <strong>An</strong>d laugh at yourself.<br />

5. They are teachable.<br />

You don't know what other people know, <strong>and</strong> everyone, no matter who they<br />

are, knows things you don't know.<br />

That makes other people more important than you is that they're people you<br />

can learn from.<br />

6. They shine the spotlight on others.<br />

No one receives enough praise. No one. Tell people what they did well.<br />

It's your job to know what they did well. Find out ahead of time.<br />

People will appreciate your praise, they'll appreciate the fact you care enough<br />

to pay attention to what they're doing.<br />

7. They choose their words.<br />

The words you use impact the attitude of others. One word can totally change a<br />

person's day or even their life for the better or for the worse.<br />

For example, you don't have to go to a meeting; you get to go meet with other<br />

people. You don't have to create a presentation for a new client; you get to<br />

share cool stuff with other people. You don't have to go to the gym; you get to<br />

work out <strong>and</strong> improve your health <strong>and</strong> fitness.<br />

27


We all want to associate with happy, enthusiastic, fulfilled people. The words<br />

you choose can help other people feel better about themselves, <strong>and</strong> make you<br />

feel better about yourself too.<br />

8. They don't discuss the failings of others.<br />

People don't respect people who gossip.<br />

Don't laugh at another person's expense. When you do, the people around you<br />

wonder if you sometimes laugh at them. Often time that person may even over<br />

hear you or find out about it.<br />

While you should never laugh at other people, you should always laugh at<br />

yourself. Then other will not laugh at you either, but with you.<br />

28


Etiquette<br />

Many people despise prophecy because they had unpleasant past<br />

experiences with it. The gifts of the Spirit should be used with the utmost<br />

care; they should be used in the Phenomenon of Love.<br />

Concerning prophecy the spirits of the prophets are subject to the<br />

prophets (1 Corinthians 14:32).<br />

These are some of the ways when it is inappropriate to give a prophetic<br />

word:<br />

Never give a word if you are angry, or have strong negative feelings<br />

towards the person or whatever you are giving the prophetic word to.<br />

Do not use prophecy to validate our own personal doctrines or beliefs.<br />

It is not necessary to say things like "Thus saith the Lord," Old Testament<br />

Prophets would say this so that the people would know the word was from<br />

Yahweh, <strong>and</strong> not one of the many pagan gods of the l<strong>and</strong>. When the word<br />

is reviewed/judged it will usually be obvious whether it was from the Lord<br />

or not.<br />

Do not say "The Lord made me do this." God has given you a free will.<br />

There are times when the Holy Spirit will take over, but this is not normally<br />

the case.<br />

These are some of the ways in which prophetic words should be given:<br />

It is important to make sure your demeanor matches that of the Holy<br />

Spirit's. This means matching the tone as well as what the Holy Spirit is<br />

telling you. There is seldom a need to yell, this is usually only a turn-off.<br />

Everything you say, must be done in love. If you do not do it in Love you<br />

profit nothing (1 Corinthians 13:2). In other words, your message will be<br />

worthless.<br />

It is good practice to write down the prophecy <strong>and</strong> submit it to the church<br />

leadership for them to judge. It is not necessary to st<strong>and</strong> up <strong>and</strong> interrupt a<br />

church service to give your prophecy.<br />

What to do with Negative or Judgmental words:<br />

New Testament prophecy is to encourage, strengthen, <strong>and</strong> edify the body<br />

(1 Corinthians 14:3). Negative words do the very opposite of this. Death<br />

<strong>and</strong> Live are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21)<br />

Just because a word ends on a positive note, do not always mean it is an<br />

encouraging word.<br />

29


Giving Warning or Judgment words:<br />

Many times God will give us Warning words so that we can pray over them,<br />

that they will not come to pass, <strong>and</strong> could even be turned into a blessing<br />

instead.<br />

If you are receiving a large number of negative words, you maybe the<br />

problem.<br />

Do not prophesy the problem, but prophesy the answer to what God is<br />

warning of.<br />

If the warning is reoccurring, it may be best to relinquish the word to your<br />

prophetic leadership, <strong>and</strong> pray for the Holy Spirit to give them wisdom<br />

about these matters.<br />

Lastly it is important to have accountability to leadership, so that you can<br />

be held responsible, <strong>and</strong> for correction. Even those in Apostolic ministries,<br />

or in very high up in leadership still submit to God like everyone is, the<br />

congregation they serve, <strong>and</strong> a peer of at least the same level of authority.<br />

30


Reinforcement<br />

You can memorize these verses to be used as reinforcement in obtaining<br />

your goals pertaining to the gifts of prophecy.<br />

Visions<br />

Gen 46:2 during the night God spoke to him in a vision. "Jacob! Jacob!" he<br />

called. "Here I am," Jacob replied.<br />

Num 24:4 the message of one who hears the words of God, who sees a<br />

vision from the Almighty, who bows down with eyes wide open:<br />

Jer 24:1 After King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon exiled Jehoiachin son of<br />

Jehoiakim, king of Judah, to Babylon along with the officials of Judah <strong>and</strong> all<br />

the craftsmen <strong>and</strong> artisans, the LORD gave me this vision. I saw two<br />

baskets of figs placed in front of the LORD's Temple in Jerusalem.<br />

Dan 2:19 that night the secret was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then<br />

Daniel praised the God of heaven.<br />

Dan 8:15 as I, Daniel, was trying to underst<strong>and</strong> the meaning of this vision,<br />

someone who looked like a man stood in front of me.<br />

Dan 9:23 the moment you began praying, a comm<strong>and</strong> was given. <strong>An</strong>d now I<br />

am here to tell you what it was, for you are very precious to God. Listen<br />

carefully so that you can underst<strong>and</strong> the meaning of your vision<br />

Amo 7:4 Then the Sovereign LORD showed me another vision. I saw him<br />

preparing to punish his people with a great fire. The fire had burned up the<br />

depths of the sea <strong>and</strong> was devouring the entire l<strong>and</strong>.<br />

Hab 2:3 this vision is for a future time. It describes the end, <strong>and</strong> it will be<br />

fulfilled. If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take<br />

place. It will not be delayed.<br />

Act 11:5 "I was in the town of Joppa," he said, "<strong>and</strong> while I was praying, I<br />

went into a trance <strong>and</strong> saw a vision. Something like a large sheet was let<br />

down by its four corners from the sky. <strong>An</strong>d it came right down to me.<br />

31


Dreams<br />

Gen 41:15 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I had a dream last night, <strong>and</strong> no<br />

one here can tell me what it means. But I have heard that when you hear<br />

about a dream you can interpret it."<br />

Jdg 7:14 His companion answered, "Your dream can mean only one thing--<br />

God has given Gideon son of Joash, the Israelite, victory over Midian <strong>and</strong> all<br />

its allies!"<br />

Pro 13:12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a dream fulfilled is a<br />

tree of life.<br />

Dan 2:24 Then Daniel went in to see Arioch, whom the king had ordered to<br />

execute the wise men of Babylon. Daniel said to him, "Don't kill the wise<br />

men. Take me to the king, <strong>and</strong> I will tell him the meaning of his dream."<br />

Dan 2:28 But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, <strong>and</strong> he has<br />

shown King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in the future. Now I will tell<br />

you your dream <strong>and</strong> the visions you saw as you lay on your bed.<br />

Dan 2:36 "That was the dream. Now we will tell the king what it means.<br />

Dan 2:45 That is the meaning of the rock cut from the mountain, though<br />

not by human h<strong>and</strong>s, that crushed to pieces the statue of iron, bronze, clay,<br />

silver, <strong>and</strong> gold. The great God was showing the king what will happen in<br />

the future. The dream is true, <strong>and</strong> its meaning is certain."<br />

Dan 7:1 Earlier, during the first year of King Belshazzar's reign in Babylon,<br />

Daniel had a dream <strong>and</strong> saw visions as he lay in his bed. He wrote down<br />

the dream, <strong>and</strong> this is what he saw.<br />

Joe 2:28 "Then, after doing all those things, I will pour out my Spirit upon all<br />

people. Your sons <strong>and</strong> daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream<br />

dreams, <strong>and</strong> your young men will see visions.<br />

Mat 2:19 When Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to<br />

Joseph in Egypt.<br />

Mat 2:22 but when he learned that the new ruler of Judea was Herod's son<br />

Archelaus, he was afraid to go there. Then, after being warned in a dream,<br />

he left for the region of Galilee.<br />

32


Interpretation<br />

Ecc 8:1 How wonderful to be wise, to analyze <strong>and</strong> interpret things.<br />

Wisdom lights up a person's face, softening its harshness.<br />

Dan 1:17 God gave these four young men an unusual aptitude for<br />

underst<strong>and</strong>ing every aspect of literature <strong>and</strong> wisdom. <strong>An</strong>d God gave Daniel<br />

the special ability to interpret the meanings of visions <strong>and</strong> dreams.<br />

Dan 5:12 this man Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar, has<br />

exceptional ability <strong>and</strong> is filled with divine knowledge <strong>and</strong> underst<strong>and</strong>ing.<br />

He can interpret dreams, explain riddles, <strong>and</strong> solve difficult problems. Call<br />

for Daniel, <strong>and</strong> he will tell you what the writing means."<br />

1Cr 12:10 He gives one person the power to perform miracles, <strong>and</strong> another<br />

the ability to prophesy. He gives someone else the ability to discern<br />

whether a message is from the Spirit of God or from another spirit. Still<br />

another person is given the ability to speak in unknown languages, while<br />

another is given the ability to interpret what is being said.<br />

1Cr 12:30 Do we all have the gift of healing? Do we all have the ability to<br />

speak in unknown languages? Do we all have the ability to interpret<br />

unknown languages? Of course not!<br />

Seer<br />

1Sa 9:19 <strong>An</strong>d Samuel answered Saul, <strong>and</strong> said, I [am] the seer: go up before<br />

me unto the high place; for ye shall eat with me to day, <strong>and</strong> tomorrow I will<br />

let thee go, <strong>and</strong> will tell thee all that [is] in your heart.<br />

2Sa 24:11 For when David was up in the morning, the word of the LORD<br />

came unto the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,<br />

Eph 1:18 I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can<br />

underst<strong>and</strong> the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy<br />

people who are his rich <strong>and</strong> glorious inheritance.<br />

33


2 Kings 6:20 after they entered the city, Elisha said, "LORD, open the eyes<br />

of these men so they can see." Then the LORD opened their eyes <strong>and</strong> they<br />

looked, <strong>and</strong> there they were, inside Samaria.<br />

Prophecy<br />

John 16:24 until now you have not asked for anything in my name. <strong>As</strong>k <strong>and</strong><br />

you will receive, <strong>and</strong> your joy will be complete.<br />

1Cr 13:2 <strong>and</strong> though I have [the gift of] prophecy, <strong>and</strong> underst<strong>and</strong> all<br />

mysteries, <strong>and</strong> all knowledge; <strong>and</strong> though I have all faith, so that I could<br />

remove mountains, <strong>and</strong> have not charity, I am nothing.<br />

2Pe 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do<br />

well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shines in a dark place, until the<br />

day dawn, <strong>and</strong> the day star arise in your hearts:<br />

2Pe 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any<br />

private interpretation.<br />

Rev 19:10 <strong>An</strong>d I fell at his feet to worship him. <strong>An</strong>d he said unto me, See<br />

[thou do it] not: I am thy fellow servant, <strong>and</strong> of thy brethren that have the<br />

testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of<br />

prophecy.<br />

Prophesy<br />

Numbers 11:27 <strong>and</strong> there ran a young man, <strong>and</strong> told Moses, <strong>and</strong> said, Eldad<br />

<strong>and</strong> Medad do prophesy in the camp.<br />

1Sa 10:5 After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where [is] the<br />

garrison of the Philistines: <strong>and</strong> it shall come to pass, when thou art come<br />

thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming<br />

down from the high place with a psaltery, <strong>and</strong> a tabret, <strong>and</strong> a pipe, <strong>and</strong> a<br />

harp, before them; <strong>and</strong> they shall prophesy:<br />

1Sa 10:6 <strong>An</strong>d the Spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, <strong>and</strong> thou shalt<br />

prophesy with them, <strong>and</strong> shalt be turned into another man.<br />

34


1Ki 22:18 <strong>and</strong> the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee<br />

that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil?<br />

Ezekiel 11:4 Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man.<br />

Ezekiel 36:6 Prophesy therefore concerning the l<strong>and</strong> of Israel, <strong>and</strong> say unto<br />

the mountains, <strong>and</strong> to the hills, to the rivers, <strong>and</strong> to the valleys, Thus says<br />

the Lord GOD; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy <strong>and</strong> in my fury, because<br />

ye have borne the shame of the heathen:<br />

Ezekiel 37:9 then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son<br />

of man, <strong>and</strong> say to the wind, thus says the Lord GOD; Come from the four<br />

winds, O breath, <strong>and</strong> breathe upon these slain, that they may live.<br />

Ezekiel 37:12 Therefore prophesy <strong>and</strong> say unto them, Thus says the Lord<br />

GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, <strong>and</strong> cause you to<br />

come up out of your graves, <strong>and</strong> bring you into the l<strong>and</strong> of Israel.<br />

Joe 2:28 <strong>An</strong>d it shall come to pass afterward, [that] I will pour out my spirit<br />

upon all flesh; <strong>and</strong> your sons <strong>and</strong> your daughters shall prophesy, your old<br />

men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:<br />

Amos 3:8 the lion hath roared, who will not fear? The Lord GOD hath<br />

spoken, who can but prophesy?<br />

Act 2:17 <strong>An</strong>d it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, I will pour out<br />

of my Spirit upon all flesh: <strong>and</strong> your sons <strong>and</strong> your daughters shall<br />

prophesy, <strong>and</strong> your young men shall see visions, <strong>and</strong> your old men shall<br />

dream dreams:<br />

Act 2:18 <strong>An</strong>d on my servants <strong>and</strong> on my h<strong>and</strong>maidens I will pour out in<br />

those days of my Spirit; <strong>and</strong> they shall prophesy:<br />

1Cr 13:9 for we know in part <strong>and</strong> we prophesy in part.<br />

1Cr 14:1 Follow after charity, <strong>and</strong> desire spiritual [gifts], but rather that ye<br />

may prophesy.<br />

35


1Cr 14:31 for ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, <strong>and</strong> all<br />

may be comforted.<br />

1Cr 14:39 wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, <strong>and</strong> forbid not to speak<br />

with tongues.<br />

1 Peter 4:11 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any<br />

man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God gives: that God in all<br />

things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise <strong>and</strong><br />

dominion for ever <strong>and</strong> ever. Amen.<br />

Rev 10:11 <strong>and</strong> he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many<br />

peoples, <strong>and</strong> nations <strong>and</strong> tongues, <strong>and</strong> kings.<br />

Rev 11:3 <strong>An</strong>d I will give [power] unto my two witnesses, <strong>and</strong> they shall<br />

prophesy a thous<strong>and</strong> two hundred [<strong>and</strong>] threescore days, clothed in<br />

sackcloth.<br />

Meditation<br />

One of the easiest ways to hear from God by meditating on Him. Meditation<br />

means to think deeply on something.<br />

Focus on Jesus<br />

Visualize what He looks, & sounds like.<br />

Quote what He said in the Bible, <strong>and</strong> repeat it over <strong>and</strong> over until it<br />

becomes real to you. This is known as Contemplative Prayer.<br />

Play out in your mind what He has done, or what He will do, or is<br />

doing now.<br />

Imitation He is right there in the room with you.<br />

Engage your other senses with what you imagine Him to be.<br />

<strong>As</strong>k Him questions or tell Him things about your Life.<br />

Most of all, imagine what it is like to be loved by Yahshua, as if He is<br />

right there beside you.<br />

Find a comfortable place to wait upon the Lord.<br />

Your Bed, or a chair, are good places.<br />

Try to find a quiet place alone with God.<br />

Your room, or a prayer closet maybe<br />

If you want play some Soaking music, or soft worship music to set the<br />

mood. <strong>An</strong>y music would work really.<br />

Just be silent before the Lord, or sign along in praise if you enjoy it.<br />

Relax <strong>and</strong> inhale <strong>and</strong> exhale slowly & deeply.<br />

If your thoughts w<strong>and</strong>er, bring them back to God.<br />

If you have a stray through turn it into something positive. For<br />

example if you think I need to buy milk for the kids tomorrow. Turn<br />

it into a pray of Thanksgiving for your children <strong>and</strong> God's provision.<br />

Meditating on Jesus helps to create intimacy with Him. There are several<br />

others ways to do this as well that will also help center your focus on Him in<br />

return.<br />

Tell Him your feelings, how your life is better because of Him.<br />

Tell Him the things He does that you're grateful for.<br />

Tell Him how much you love Him on a daily basis.<br />

Talk about anything <strong>and</strong> everything, joys <strong>and</strong> concerns.<br />

Let yourself be vulnerable to Him.<br />

37


Don't do all the talking, ask Him questions too.<br />

Be dependable, do what you say you are going to do, or what you're<br />

asked.<br />

Reflect all the times He has come through in the past.<br />

Let Him know that you enjoy Him <strong>and</strong> make Him feel desirable.<br />

Learn as much as you can about Him.<br />

Set aside quality time with just the two of you.<br />

38


Rabbinical<br />

Frequently <strong>As</strong>ked Questions asked to a Rabbi in Israel who specializes in<br />

Prophetology.<br />

A prophet needs have these characteristics to convince others:<br />

o Courageous/Hero<br />

o Wealthy<br />

o Wise<br />

o Humble (essential characteristic)<br />

o Good Speaker/Presenter<br />

Moses & Amos were exceptions<br />

o Positive personality<br />

Rules a Prophet must follow:<br />

o A prophet cannot tell a prophecy that was meant for another<br />

prophet<br />

o Cannot suppress a prophecy<br />

If they do, God will inform another prophet(s) to have that<br />

prophet<br />

o Cannot extrapolate on their prophecy<br />

A Death Penalty crime<br />

o Prophesying something you did not even hear (made up).<br />

o Cannot do something another prophet tells you to do, if it goes<br />

against your own prophecy<br />

A prophet that doesn’t a sign or miracle in the name of an idol or false<br />

God is a false prophet<br />

o Don’t even take notice of their sign<br />

Must predict a future event or perform a miracle to establish oneself as a<br />

prophet<br />

Seer’s see future events, <strong>and</strong> Prophets hear future events form GOD<br />

Prophets answered people’s everyday questions with 100% accuracy to<br />

prove they were prophets<br />

39


Prophecies or Visions are given while asleep or in a trance state<br />

A Bad prophecy may not come true, if the people repent<br />

o Good Prophecies always come true<br />

This way we have a way to test <strong>and</strong> see if they are a true<br />

prophet<br />

Prophecies can cause physical weakness, or shaking of the bones<br />

Prophets believe the Universe was Created<br />

2 contributing factors of prophecy: Intellect <strong>and</strong> Imagination<br />

You can find what a prophetic analogy really means by switching the<br />

Hebrew letters of the metaphor around to find the real meaning (an<br />

anagram of analogies).<br />

Prophets seem to be inspired by God to help/protect/speak up at certain<br />

moments even if it means their putting the well-being in danger (for the<br />

good of other human or even animals)<br />

2 categories of prophecies, dreams <strong>and</strong> visions. Dreams being the lesser<br />

<strong>and</strong> visions being the greater of the two.<br />

These have different levels of these two categories:<br />

o Prerequisites<br />

o dream/vision of parable<br />

o more explicit parable<br />

o a human speaks to you<br />

o then an angel speaks to you<br />

o <strong>An</strong>d the last level God speaks to you.<br />

Frequently <strong>As</strong>ked Questions:<br />

Was a miracle or sign a Prophet would use to show their authority be<br />

predicting a past event that only one person knew about, to that person,<br />

or did they only make future predictions?<br />

Here are a few answers: In the book of Ezekiel, the prophet writes down<br />

on the 10th of Tevet that the king of Babylon laid siege to Jerusalem, even<br />

40


though he himself was already in exile. Seems like predicting anything to<br />

which that person could not have had access was good enough to<br />

demonstrate prophecy.<br />

Can prophecy be hereditary? If a parent had prophecy was it more likely<br />

their child would also, or does that not make a difference?<br />

There are several examples in the Talmud of prophets whose parents<br />

were prophets; particularly if you accept Rambam's view that prophecy<br />

depends on things we're born with (like intellect <strong>and</strong> imagination), we'd<br />

imagine there'd be a hereditary component.<br />

Did Prophets learn from other prophets back then, like Samuel for<br />

instance?<br />

There were "schools" of prophets, as in the time of Samuel, when he sent<br />

Saul near a group of "benei haneviim," literally children of prophets, but<br />

really students.<br />

Is the 7,000 year theory a fundamental to prophecy?<br />

The 7000 year theory is just one str<strong>and</strong> of Midrash; it is not an essential<br />

belief of Judaism or of prophecy<br />

Were the High Sabbaths special in some way to Prophecy?<br />

I think with holidays of various sorts-- it might be that the celebrations<br />

would bring people closer to God, including the prophet, so s/he would be<br />

more likely to get prophecy, but there's no necessary connection.<br />

Did the prophets <strong>and</strong> their scribes actually speak <strong>and</strong> write the name of Gd<br />

in their prophecies back then?<br />

Absolutely, people used to write the name of God <strong>and</strong> speak it; we refrain<br />

from doing so for fear of misusing it, but there's no fundamental reason<br />

not to use the Name in appropriate settings (such as, today, prayer, Torah<br />

reading, etc.)<br />

What is the connection between prophecy <strong>and</strong> music?<br />

There might be several connections between prophecy <strong>and</strong> music, but the<br />

most obvious one is that music calms the prophet, puts him/her in a<br />

mental state more conducive to receiving prophecy.<br />

41


Can there be multiple layers or fulfillments to a prophecy?<br />

There certainly can be multiple layers or fulfillments to a prophecy; my<br />

only point was that if you can generate all sorts of messages from a<br />

prophecy, it makes it more difficult (impossible) to know what a prophecy<br />

meant-- if you want to look at a prophecy after the fact <strong>and</strong> realize other<br />

levels of fulfillment, I get that. <strong>An</strong>d if a prophecy is worded ambiguously,<br />

so that it shows that it might be open to multiple meanings, I get that. But<br />

Rambam, it seemed to me, was allowing us to assume many meanings<br />

where nothing in the text pointed that way.<br />

If prophecy is the highest achievement a human can obtain then is High-<br />

Priest the second highest? Like in Exodus 7:1 when Moses went to<br />

Pharaoh <strong>and</strong> God seemed to move both Moses <strong>and</strong> Aaron up one<br />

level? <strong>An</strong>d what do you believe would be the third highest in the<br />

hierarchy?<br />

I'm not personally comfortable with Rambam's claim that prophecy is<br />

"highest." I don't personally see God as ranking human achievement that<br />

way-- was Moshe the "best" person ever, or the greatest prophet? I'm<br />

confident of the second, not as much of the first. So, too, I see no reason<br />

to assume priests are "better" than the rest of us, just different, with a<br />

different role to play, different challenges, <strong>and</strong> different st<strong>and</strong>ards that<br />

define success. It is true that we see a High Priest as having always been<br />

somewhat of a prophet, so he could "read" the Urim <strong>and</strong> Tumim on his<br />

breastplate. But that doesn't make him better, just filling his particular<br />

role.<br />

Do prophets ultimately direct people back to the Torah?<br />

Prophets always direct people back to the Torah; that's one of their main<br />

purposes, <strong>and</strong> I think they themselves were diligent in their observance.<br />

Do you think Prophets were very observant people who paid a lot of<br />

attention to minute details?<br />

<strong>As</strong> to whether that involved paying a lot of attention to minute details,<br />

that depends on how we view observance-- I think they paid attention to<br />

as much of the whole system as they could, prioritizing when necessary.<br />

Are Prophets very developed in their intellect <strong>and</strong> in their imagination,<br />

meaning their logic <strong>and</strong> creativity?<br />

42


I think Rambam would say those are people with highly developed<br />

imaginations, so that sometimes they get divine influx that turns out to be<br />

right.<br />

Can you tell me any specifics that the navi had in common about their<br />

messages/prophecies, but not so much what they had in common about<br />

themselves personally. Or were they all different?<br />

The running theme in prophets is that people should serve God instead of<br />

worshiping idols, getting too attached to the nations around them,<br />

focusing on treating each other (<strong>and</strong> especially the poor <strong>and</strong> the<br />

underclass) well. They say it in many different ways, but what the main<br />

point is -- serve God, by doing what God wants, not by deciding that it's all<br />

about Temple <strong>and</strong> sacrifice or that it's ok to lie, cheat, <strong>and</strong> steal while<br />

serving God, <strong>and</strong> also that it's not ok to worship idols. There are many<br />

individual differences, <strong>and</strong> sub themes that are specific to one or another<br />

prophet.<br />

43


Cabbalah<br />

The first letter in each of these four methods of interpretation, PRDS, combine<br />

to spell out the Hebrew word for Paradise. In other words, these Jewish levels<br />

of interpretation are designed to take the student back into the garden, past<br />

the flaming sword, to reach the tree of life.<br />

Peshat – the Simple Level<br />

Peshat refers to the elementary level. The plain writing of the Scriptures, the<br />

surface text. No particular portion of Scripture is to be intelligently<br />

comprehended, apart from its place in the whole. We cannot fully underst<strong>and</strong><br />

the reading of a single verse until we have become familiar with the entire Bible.<br />

You must read the Bible continually until every individual chapter is finally<br />

opened to you. Many people read it through the year, or more often than that.<br />

Only then can one move to the next level of biblical interpretation. We must<br />

first master the peshat or simple level of underst<strong>and</strong>ing.<br />

The Jewish commentary that deals with the peshat level is called the Mishnah,<br />

meaning “second to the Torah.” Often call the Mishnah Torah, as the<br />

interpretation of the Oral Law by Rambam. It offers simple explanations of the<br />

various Mosaic Laws <strong>and</strong> rituals.<br />

The four Gospels were written to conform to these Jewish levels of biblical<br />

studies. The gospel of Mark fits the Peshat view. Mark lays out the historical<br />

facts on the life of Jesus Christ.<br />

Remez – The Hint Level<br />

Remez is the hint level, what we might call practical application of Scripture. If I<br />

quote a portion of Scripture, but do not tell you where it is located, you are<br />

supposed to know. I don’t need to tell you because you can take the hint. If you<br />

already have a knowledge of Scripture. A word to the wise is sufficient.<br />

This is also the allegorical <strong>and</strong> philosophical level. It goes beyond the basic<br />

knowledge, <strong>and</strong> imparts wisdom – the ability to apply knowledge to our daily<br />

lives.<br />

44


The Gamara is the commentary used in the Remez, or hint level of<br />

interpretation. When coupled with the Mishnah, the two commentaries make<br />

up the Talmud. The Remez level was written for the aristocracy <strong>and</strong> was higher<br />

in its goals <strong>and</strong> more polished in its content. It was the level of the doctor,<br />

lawyer, philosopher, <strong>and</strong> teacher. This level did not replace the simple Peshat,<br />

but rather added a philosophical flavoring to it. It's interesting that there are<br />

two Talmud's, the Babylonian Talmud <strong>and</strong> the Jerusalem Talmud, one from a<br />

Gentile region <strong>and</strong> the other from a Jewish region. The only difference to these<br />

two Talmud's is the Gamara commentary, which Luke answers. It's also<br />

interesting that there are strong arguments as to whether Luke was a Jew or a<br />

Gentile. Perhaps he had heritage in both? But it does seem that Luke's Gospel<br />

would point to the Gamara.<br />

The Gospel of Luke was written to conform to this philosophical level. You can<br />

tell from reading Luke’s style of writing that it is more sophisticated <strong>and</strong> detailed<br />

than Mark’s simple style.<br />

Luke records the genealogy of Mary. Which the aristocratic community would<br />

normally be interested in the pedigree of the mother. Mark, writing in the style<br />

of the common man, does not bother with genealogy. In Mark, Jesus is<br />

presented as a servant, whereas Luke presents the lineage of Mary back to<br />

Adam, demonstrating that Jesus Christ is the predicted Messiah “Ben-Adom,” or<br />

the Son of Adam.<br />

Drosh – the Regal Level<br />

The commentary for the Drosh level is called Midrash. The term was taken from<br />

the process of thrashing grain, or separating the kernel from the chaff. It is an<br />

even more sophisticated method of interpretation than the remez level. Drosh<br />

deals with parables or riddles.<br />

Solomon <strong>and</strong> Hiram the king of Tyre, enjoyed sending each other riddles. It was<br />

the game of kings. Solomon’s wisdom gave him a keen ability to find the<br />

meanings of riddles, thus gaining him even more fame as the wisest man of his<br />

generation. Allegories of the Remez level are simply symbolic stories that teach<br />

practical lessons. Riddles on the other h<strong>and</strong>, are more difficult to underst<strong>and</strong>.<br />

For royal reasons, Matthew is placed first in the New Testament, ahead of Mark,<br />

Luke, & John. Matthew’s introduction of the New Testament presents the regal,<br />

or kingly side of Christ. Revelation, the last book of the New Testament finally<br />

unveils Christ as the King of kings.<br />

45


The Drosh level of biblical interpretation is decidedly political. The Jews have<br />

held to the divine promise that they were chosen to produce the Messiah, the<br />

son of David.<br />

The concept that Christ would become King of kings is the subject of the Drosh<br />

level of interpretation. Drosh not only represents the highest form of wisdom<br />

or what we would call advanced practical application, but also flows over into<br />

the prophetic implications of Scripture.<br />

The prophetic significance of the Drosh interpretation points to the<br />

establishment of God's earthly kingdom. The Sohd level is also prophetic, but is<br />

distinctly heavenly realm.<br />

Matthew’s Drosh level presents the regal view of Christ by giving the royal<br />

generations from Abraham, David <strong>and</strong> Solomon. The riddle aspects of Drosh<br />

can be seen in Matthew’s parables about the metaphysical realm. For example,<br />

in Matthew 13 the disciples question the use of these riddles. They ask Jesus to<br />

speak plainly so that the multitudes might underst<strong>and</strong>. To this, Jesus replies<br />

that the parable was designed so that the average person could not underst<strong>and</strong>.<br />

In Matthew 24 <strong>and</strong> 25, Jesus discusses the prophetic aspects of Drosh. He is<br />

speaking of His future kingdom, <strong>and</strong> the events that will attend its<br />

establishment.<br />

Sohd – the Secret Level<br />

The Sohd level of biblical interpretation goes beyond the physical realm. It<br />

takes us into heavenly places to view God’s glory. We can see the Sohd level in<br />

events like the story of the flaming sword at the east gate of Eden; Moses’<br />

encounter with God in the burning bush, then on top Mount Sinai for 40 days;<br />

the pillar of cloud by day <strong>and</strong> fire by night that led the Israelites through the<br />

wilderness; Elijah’s heavenly chariot; Ezekiel’s view of a celestial vehicle;<br />

Daniel’s encounters with angels; & John’s description of the New Jerusalem.<br />

The Zohar is the commentary regarding the Sohd. The rabbis describe it as one<br />

st<strong>and</strong>ing in the darkness of the early morning <strong>and</strong> seeing the finger-like radiance<br />

of the sun that announces its imminent rising. Once the sun lifts above the<br />

eastern horizon, the radiance disappears. It is the radiance or aura that speaks<br />

of Sohd, the secret level. It can best be seen if one does not look directly at it,<br />

but rather catches it out of the corner of the eye.<br />

46


John's Gospel presents the Sohd level of Jesus. He opens by telling us that Jesus<br />

was the personification of the “Word” of God that He is the “Light” that shines<br />

in the darkness, but the darkness cannot comprehend it. This is the level that<br />

Jewish Mystics or Kabbalahist's focus on, a group of Rabbi's unlike any of the<br />

other Rabbi's, much the same was the Gospel of John is unlike the Synoptic<br />

Gospels. The secret level focuses heavily on Words, Light, Letters, Number,<br />

Names, Concealing, Revealing, Giving, & Receiving. At this level they divide<br />

everything up into 4 levels with a the fifth level always being hidden, much the<br />

same way the Book of Revelation is considered a Gospel, or a fifth Book of the<br />

Good News of Jesus Christ. It is traditional accepted that you must first study<br />

the Peshat level, then the Remez, Drosh, <strong>and</strong> finally the Sohd level, but the<br />

Rabbis who teach this level say it is actually best to underst<strong>and</strong> the hidden level<br />

then you can underst<strong>and</strong> the pain text more easily. To really underst<strong>and</strong> the<br />

Book of Revelation, you will need to know what the Mystics call the language of<br />

Roots <strong>and</strong> Branches, where a cryptic saying or word is actually referring to<br />

something in the Spiritual realm. The language of Roots <strong>and</strong> Branches is what<br />

Jesus was hinting at when he said I am the vine <strong>and</strong> you are the branches in<br />

John 15:5.<br />

Jews themselves are literally a prophetic nation & people. They are "the people<br />

of the Book" or "the people of the Word." They do not realize it, but Jesus is<br />

actually the Word (John 1:1)<br />

47


Imagination<br />

The Power of Imagination is the essence of Prophetic Thinking:<br />

We all work with one infinite power.<br />

Whatever is going on in your mind is what you are attracting.<br />

We are like magnets – like attract like. You become AND attract what you<br />

think.<br />

Every thought has a frequency. Thoughts send out a magnetic energy.<br />

Thought = creation. If these thoughts are attached to powerful emotions<br />

(good or bad) that speeds the creation.<br />

Those who speak most of illness have illness; those who speak most of<br />

prosperity have it, etc.<br />

Choose your thoughts carefully; you are a masterpiece of your life.<br />

Your thoughts cause your feelings.<br />

Thoughts that bring about good feelings mean you are on the right track.<br />

Thoughts that bring about bad feelings means you are not on the right<br />

track.<br />

Whatever it is you are feeling is a perfect reflection of what is in the<br />

process of becoming.<br />

You get exactly what you are FEELING.<br />

Happy feelings will attract more happy circumstances.<br />

You can begin feeling whatever you want (even if it’s not there). Your<br />

atmosphere will correspond to the nature of your feelings.<br />

What you focus on with your thought <strong>and</strong> feeling is what you attract into<br />

your experience.<br />

48


What you think <strong>and</strong> what you feel <strong>and</strong> what actually manifests is ALWAYS a<br />

match – no exception.<br />

It’s important to feel GOOD!<br />

You can change your emotion immediately by thinking of something joyful,<br />

or singing a song, or remembering a happy experience.<br />

Start by using this sentence for all of your wants: “I’m so happy <strong>and</strong> grateful<br />

now that…. ”<br />

You don’t need to know HOW the universe is going to rearrange itself.<br />

You might get an inspired thought or idea to help you move towards what<br />

you desire faster.<br />

The universe likes SPEED. Don’t delay, don’t second-guess, don’t doubt..<br />

When the opportunity or impulse is there, ACT!<br />

You will attract everything you require – money, people, connections. PAY<br />

ATTENTION to what’s being set in front of you.<br />

You can start with nothing, <strong>and</strong> out of nothing or no way – a WAY will be<br />

provided.<br />

Size is nothing to the universe (unlimited abundance if that’s what you<br />

wish) we make the rules on size <strong>and</strong> time.<br />

No rules according to the universe. You provide the feelings of having it<br />

now <strong>and</strong> the universe will respond.<br />

Most people offer the majority of their thought in response to what they<br />

are observing (bills in the mail, being late, having bad luck…etc.)<br />

You have to find a different approach to what is through a different<br />

vantage point.<br />

What can you do right now to turn your life around?? — Gratitude.<br />

Gratitude will bring more into our lives immediately.<br />

What we think about <strong>and</strong> THANK about is what we bring about.<br />

Play the picture in your mind – focus on the end result.<br />

49


VISUALIZE!!! Rehearse your future.<br />

VISUALIZE!!! See it, feel it! This is where action begins.<br />

<strong>An</strong> affirmative thought is 100 times more powerful than a negative one.<br />

Our job is not to think about the “How”. The “How” will show up out of the<br />

commitment <strong>and</strong> belief in the “what.”<br />

If you turn it over to God, you will be surprised <strong>and</strong> dazzled by what is<br />

delivered, this is where miracles happen.<br />

Turn it over to God daily, but it should never be a chore.<br />

Feel exhilarated by the whole process.<br />

The only difference between people who are really living this way is they<br />

have habituated ways of being.<br />

Create a Vision Board, pictures of what you want to attract, every day look<br />

at it <strong>and</strong> get into the feeling state of already having acquired these wants.<br />

“Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions.”<br />

Albert Einstein.<br />

Decide what you want, believe you can have it, believe you deserve it, <strong>and</strong><br />

believe it’s possible for you – <strong>and</strong> the feeling of having it already.<br />

Set a goal so big that if you achieved it, it would blow your mind.<br />

When you have an inspired thought, you must trust it <strong>and</strong> act on it.<br />

Life is abundant in ALL areas…<br />

Go for the sense of inner joy <strong>and</strong> peace then all outside things appear.<br />

We are co-creators with God.<br />

No one else can think or feel for you. It is YOU, ONLY YOU.<br />

Learn to become still, <strong>and</strong> take your attention away from what you don’t<br />

want, <strong>and</strong> place your attention on what you wish to experience.<br />

When the voice <strong>and</strong> vision on the inside become more profound <strong>and</strong> clear<br />

than the opinions on the outside, then you have mastered your life.<br />

50


You are not here to try to get the world to be just as the world wants it. You<br />

are here to create the world around you as it is in Heaven, a Kingdom<br />

Culture.<br />

All of this abundance begins to shine through a mind that is aware of its<br />

own infinite nature. There’s enough for everyone. See it. Believe it. It will<br />

show up for you.<br />

51

Gematria<br />

The additional columns Original OT Order, NT Order, Revelation, & Jewish<br />

Holidays were extra categories that fit in the Hebrew alphabet mold of 22<br />

letters <strong>and</strong> their meanings, or 27 letters if you count the final letters. In the<br />

original Old Testament it appears that Job was not included <strong>and</strong> several books<br />

were combined into 1 book. For example 1 & 2 Samuel were original just<br />

Samuel.<br />

When a Hebrew word's Gematria have the same numerical value it is not<br />

coincidence, but means they have a similarity or are complementary to each<br />

other.<br />

Is it ironic how each of the 22 letters of the Hebrew aleph-bet have a meaning<br />

that corresponds to the 22 chapters in the book of Revelation, or the original<br />

order of the Tanakh? Their meanings also appear to relate to the books of the<br />

New Testament when the 5 final letters are also counted.<br />

In the Integral Reduced method, the total numerical value of a word is reduced<br />

to one digit. Should the sum of these numbers be double digits, the integer<br />

digits of the total are repeatedly added to each other to produce a single-digit<br />

figure. The same value will be arrived at regardless of whether it is the absolute<br />

values, the ordinal values, or the reduced values that are being counted.<br />

Absolute Value Example: ץראה= 5 + 1 + 5 + 900<br />

= 911 or 9 + 1 + 1<br />

= 11 or 1 + 1<br />

= 2<br />

Ordinal Value Example: ץראה= 5 +1 + 5 + 27<br />

= 38 or 3 + 8<br />

64


= 11 or 1 + 1<br />

= 2<br />

Reduced Value Example: ץראה= 5 + 1 + 5 + 9<br />

= 20 or 2 + 0<br />

= 2<br />

Cryptography<br />

Al-bam -is a method of alphabetic transformation. The basic "direct"<br />

transformation pattern, wherein the alef-beit is divided into two equal<br />

groups of eleven letters which are then paired (first to first, second to<br />

second, etc…) to transform one into the other.<br />

The name al-bam is a reference to the first two of these transformation<br />

pairs: alef-lamed <strong>and</strong> beit-mem, <strong>and</strong> corresponds to the Sephirot within<br />

the Partsuf of Chochmah--Abba.<br />

At-bash - is a basic "reflective" transformation pattern, wherein the first<br />

<strong>and</strong> last letters of the alef-beit transform into one another, as do the<br />

second <strong>and</strong> second-to-last, <strong>and</strong> so on.<br />

66


It is a reference to the first two of these transformation pairs: alef-tav <strong>and</strong><br />

beit-shin, <strong>and</strong> corresponds to the Sephirot within the Partsuf of Binah--<br />

כ kaf ל lamed<br />

In Jeremiah 25:26 the seemingly unknown king of Sheshach (ךשש) is<br />

actually the king of Babel (לבב) when decrypted using the At-bash system.<br />

The final kaf (ך) <strong>and</strong> the regular kaf (כ) would be considered the same with<br />

this method.<br />

This is believed to be of the method that was used to read the h<strong>and</strong><br />

writing on the wall in Daniel 5:25-28.<br />

אנמ אנמ לקת סרפ(MeNE<br />

MeNE TeKeL PaRSH),<br />

but by transposing the letters you get the:<br />

תטי תטי כדא חגוmeaning Numbered, Numbered, Weighed, Broken.<br />

Broken can also be translated as Persians.<br />

Daniel who was carried off in the Babylonian captivity, was known to have<br />

read diligently the scriptures, especially the Book of Jeremiah, so he may<br />

67


have known this system already (Daniel 9:2 & 1 Peter 1:10) since it is one<br />

Jeremiah also used.<br />

Ach-bi - is a method of alphabetic transformation wherein the alef-beit is<br />

divided into two equal groups of eleven letters. Within each group, the<br />

letters pair "reflectively"--the first with the last, the second with the<br />

second-to-last, etc. It is a reference to the first two of these<br />

transformation pairs: alef-kaf <strong>and</strong> beit-yud.<br />

This is the alphabetic transformation whose elements correspond to the<br />

Sephirot within the Partsuf of Knowledge (Da'at.)<br />

The three transformation systems, al-bam, at-bash, <strong>and</strong> ach-bi<br />

(corresponding to wisdom (chochmah), underst<strong>and</strong>ing (Binah), <strong>and</strong><br />

knowledge (Da'at) form a "transformation ring," which means that if you<br />

transform a letter using all three you will come back to your original<br />

letter. E.g., alef in al-bam transforms into lamed; lamed in at-bash<br />

transforms into kaf--, which using ach-bi, transforms back to alef.<br />

Ayik-becher - is a method of alphabetic transformation wherein the 27<br />

letters of the full alef-beit (including the five letters with a final form<br />

(mem, nun, tzadik, pei, <strong>and</strong> chaf, referred to as mantzapach, for short) are<br />

initially divided into three equal groups of nine letters, which are then<br />

tripled together in "direct order."<br />

68


The first letter in each group--alef, yud, <strong>and</strong> kuf (whose numerical values<br />

are 1, 10 <strong>and</strong> 100); the second in each group--beit, kaf, <strong>and</strong> reish (whose<br />

numerical values are 2, 20 <strong>and</strong> 200); etc.<br />

The transformation pattern is one of "revolution" within each triplet, i.e.<br />

alef transforms into yud which transforms into kuf which transforms into<br />

alef (which can now be considered as equaling 1000), etc. The name ayikbecher<br />

is a reference to the first two of these transformation triplets.<br />

This is the alphabetic transformation whose elements correspond to the<br />

Sephirot within the Partsuf of Arich <strong>An</strong>pin (the nine "chambers" of the<br />

super conscious)<br />

Achas-beta - is a method of alphabetic transformation wherein the first<br />

21 letters of the alef-beit are initially divided into three equal groups of<br />

seven letters, which are then tripled together in "direct order."<br />

The first letter in each group--alef, chet, <strong>and</strong> samech; the second in each<br />

group--beit, tet, <strong>and</strong> ayin; etc. The final letter tav is added to the seventh<br />

triplet. The transformation pattern is one of "revolution" within each<br />

triplet, i.e. alef transforms into chet which transforms into samech which<br />

transforms into alef, etc. Tav will always remain Tav in this system.<br />

69


The name achas-beta is a reference to the first two of these<br />

transformation triplets.<br />

This is the alphabetic transformation whose elements correspond to the<br />

Sephirot within the Partsuf of Ze'ir <strong>An</strong>pin (the seven emotive attributes).<br />

The transformation pattern is "reflective" within each group. In a group of<br />

nine, the first <strong>and</strong> last letters transform one into the other, as do the<br />

second <strong>and</strong> eighth, the third <strong>and</strong> seventh, <strong>and</strong> the fourth <strong>and</strong> sixth. The<br />

fifth letter possesses no partner within the group. The "logic" behind this<br />

transformation pattern is that in each of the groups of nine letters the<br />

sum of each pair equals 10, 100, or 1000 (all identical when calculated as<br />

reduced value).<br />

Aramaic<br />

In the portions of the Bible that were originally written in Aramaic (not<br />

Arabic) they appear to have a reinforcing message when translated into<br />

Hebrew.<br />

Differences<br />

71


Aramaic attaches the definitive construct state at the end of a<br />

substantive.<br />

While Hebrew uses a prefixed attached he (ה) for the definite article,<br />

Aramaic uses a suffixed, attached aleph (א) at the end of nouns for the<br />

same purpose.<br />

Aramaic uses different letters to represent the same sounds.<br />

Aramaic is not a Canaanite language <strong>and</strong> thus did not experience the<br />

Canaanite vowel shift from A to O.<br />

The preposition Dalet functions as a conjunction <strong>and</strong> is often used instead<br />

of the construct to indicate the genitive/possessive relationship.<br />

Undisputed occurrences<br />

Genesis 31:47 – translation of a Hebrew place-name.<br />

Jeremiah 10:11 – a single sentence denouncing idolatry occurs in the<br />

middle of a Hebrew text.<br />

Daniel 2:4b–7:28 – five stories about Daniel <strong>and</strong> his colleagues, <strong>and</strong> an<br />

apocalyptic vision.<br />

Ezra 4:8–6:18 <strong>and</strong> Ezra 7:12–26 – quotations of documents from the 5th<br />

century BCE concerning the restoration of the Temple in Jerusalem.<br />

Other suggested occurrences<br />

Genesis 15:1 – the word הזחמב(ba-maħaze, "in a vision"). According to the<br />

Zohar (I:88b), this word is “Aramaic,” as the usual Hebrew word would be<br />

הארמב(ba-mar’e).<br />

Numbers 23:10 – the word עבר(rôḇa‘, usually translated as "stock" or<br />

"fourth part"). Rabbi J.H. Hertz, in his commentary on this verse, cites an<br />

unnamed scholar's claim that this is an Aramaic word meaning "dust."<br />

Job 36:2a – Rashi, in his commentary on this verse, states that this phrase<br />

is in Aramaic.<br />

Bible Code<br />

72


In more recent times, a cryption known as Bible Code has become very<br />

popular. In this cryption every nth letter is selected from a string of text<br />

from the original Bible language (primarily Hebrew but can also be used<br />

with the Aramaic <strong>and</strong> Greek portions). Then these letters are placed next<br />

to each other in their respective order to spell out a new sentence. In<br />

Bible Code the hidden message needs to relate to the surface text to be<br />

creditable. These hidden message are usually prophecies of events of the<br />

future.<br />

There are a few software programs out know that automatically search<br />

for these hidden messages for you if you supply them with the key terms<br />

you are looking for. It is up to the read to determine if the message<br />

matches the surface text though. www.biblecodedigest.com is an<br />

excellent resources for researching Bible Codes.<br />

Many people will say that 1/3 of the Bible is prophecy, but if you consider<br />

Bible Code, isn't all of the Bible a prophecy?<br />

Interpretation<br />

<strong>As</strong> you will notice many of the numbers have conflicting symbolic meanings<br />

behind them, both positive <strong>and</strong> negative. These are only meant to be a<br />

general guide. All symbols always need to be interpreted in light of the<br />

context of the dream or vision, <strong>and</strong> what the symbol means to the dreamer as<br />

guided by the Holy Spirit.<br />

What is the dream/vision/prophecy about?<br />

Is the dreamer Observing, Participating, or Acting out the dream or vision<br />

themselves?<br />

Is the dream/vision positive or negative?<br />

What are the main key points of the dream/vision/prophecy?<br />

When you wake form your dream try not to move, but remain perfectly<br />

still.<br />

o Close your eyes <strong>and</strong> begin to play back the dream in your memory.<br />

Weep a Journal right next to your bed or on your person, by doing so it is<br />

an act of faith that you are expecting to have a dream & visions, <strong>and</strong> you<br />

will.<br />

o Also keep a pen <strong>and</strong> a small light next to your bed.<br />

By taking a short nap then waking up to get a snake or go to the<br />

bathroom, or just to fall back asleep with actually make it easier to have<br />

dreams.<br />

o Or wake up on your own periodically throughout the night, or by<br />

sleeping in installments, usually makes it easier to have <strong>and</strong> recall<br />

dreams.<br />

By drinking milk, eating ice cream, something with a lot of cheese (pizza)<br />

right before bed tend to stimulate the parts of the brain that cause<br />

dreams.<br />

Throughout your waking day r<strong>and</strong>omly ask yourself "am I dreaming?" This<br />

will help build a habit, <strong>and</strong> you will start asking yourself this while really<br />

dreaming in order to realize if you truly are dreaming, thereby making it<br />

much easier to recall your dreams for interpretation.<br />

There are in the simplest forms, 3 types of Dreams:<br />

o Dreams from God<br />

Usually reparative, very clear/vivid, including messages such<br />

as encouragement, warnings, instructions, inventions, ideas.<br />

o Dreams from the enemy<br />

Usually very dark, monochrome, discouraging, violent, or<br />

sexual.<br />

79


o Neutral Dreams<br />

Non-sense dreams<br />

ALWAYS ask the Holy Spirit "what does this dream means?"<br />

To decipher the meaning of objects <strong>and</strong> symbols, a principle of biblical<br />

interpretation called the “law of first mention” can be used. It states that<br />

the first mention of an object, number, color or symbol in the Bible sets<br />

up a pattern of interpretation for it that holds true throughout the rest of<br />

Scripture.<br />

This is a list of what some basic items in a dream or vision may represent,<br />

different things to different people. God will show you a symbol that brings to<br />

you mind the message He is trying to convey to you. These are just some<br />

example:<br />

Actor/actress: famous people may symbolize their roles or the meaning of their<br />

name, could be a meant to pray for them<br />

Accelerator: a decision to pursue a goal in full force. You are "speeding"<br />

towards a goal. Alternatively, the an accelerator dream may point to a need to<br />

slow down<br />

Accent: the manner in which thoughts or feelings are being conveyed. The<br />

ethnicity of the accent symbolizes how you perceive yourself<br />

Adolescent: an aspect of yourself that is underdeveloped or irrational. It may<br />

also reflect a naive eagerness<br />

Aggression: confrontation with problems. You may also have deep rooted<br />

hostility towards a person or situation<br />

Airplane: International ministries, or could symbolize the company<br />

Airport: transition, networking <strong>and</strong> connections, travel<br />

Oneirology<br />

By practicing Lucid Dreaming you will become more aware of your<br />

Dreams <strong>and</strong> remember them more easily.<br />

Dreams can come the Holy Spirit, but they can also come from evil spirits,<br />

<strong>and</strong> be from your own thoughts <strong>and</strong> emotions. By Lucid Dreaming it also<br />

makes the dream more likely to come from your own thoughts <strong>and</strong><br />

emotions, something to be aware of. If you begin to have repeated<br />

dreams, this almost is God trying to get your attention about something,<br />

such as in the case of Pharaoh's dream in Genesis 37. However it could<br />

also just be a fantasy from your own soulish being that you tend to think<br />

about often. Many times repeating nightmares, or if the dream is<br />

monochrome, or it could be from an evil spirit, but many times God will<br />

also give you a fearful dream in order to warning you of something in<br />

your present or future that you are not fully aware of.<br />

There are many different types of dreams, such as:<br />

Day Dreams, these are dreams, fantasies that come to mind during your<br />

waking hours. They stimulate your imagination <strong>and</strong> creativity, much like<br />

sleeping Dreams.<br />

[Sleeping] Dreams, are typical dreams that everyone has every night<br />

whether they recall them at all or not when they wake. Many times people<br />

wake up knowing they had a dream, but cannot remember what it was.<br />

This is what happened in Daniel 2:5.<br />

Waking Dreams, this is another title for a vision. This is just one step above<br />

a Day Dream which is a good starting point for people interested in dreams.<br />

Night Visions, this is essentially a Trance. A Trance is easiest to go into<br />

when a person is in a "twilight" state for lack of a better word. The state of<br />

being half awake, & half asleep. Just coming out of sleep, or just falling<br />

asleep.<br />

Nested Dreams, this where you are dreaming <strong>and</strong> during the dream you<br />

dream that you have woken up from <strong>and</strong> begin to do something different<br />

than what you were doing in the first dream. These dreams can be nested<br />

within other dreams several layers deep, but most people tend to only have<br />

one nested dream with in a dream before waking up.<br />

Vision within a Dream, A vision is basically a dream only you are physically<br />

awake during the vision. It's seeing a picture or movie being shown or<br />

played out right before you even though it's not physically there. When<br />

this happens during a dream it is known as a Vision within a Dream, which<br />

is very similar to Nested Dreams, or a dream within a dream.<br />

98


Nightmares are also considered dreams, but these are dreams that tend<br />

you leave you with a sense of fear, or uneasiness about them.<br />

Night terrors are heighted nightmares that involve thrashing, sweeting,<br />

yelling, or waking up suddenly.<br />

Some of the common dreams people have:<br />

Being chased by something - The enemy is attempting to take something<br />

from you.<br />

Not wearing any pants or cloths in public - God is exposing you to the<br />

people, making you vulnerable to others.<br />

Your teeth falling out - God is telling you to get wisdom.<br />

Falling Dreams - God is telling you that you are not in control, but He is.<br />

Pregnant - God is giving you something new.<br />

Dreams about being lost - God is calling you into a relationship with Him.<br />

These are the basic steps to use in order to recall your dreams that you<br />

can interpret them once you have recorded in some kind of dream journal<br />

or log. This way they can also be researched later on down the road <strong>and</strong><br />

may be looking for confirmation:<br />

Throughout the day, repeatedly ask yourself "Am I dreaming" <strong>and</strong> perform<br />

some reality checks whenever you remember. With practice, if it happens<br />

enough, you will automatically remember it during your dreams <strong>and</strong> do it.<br />

Do at least three reality checks every time something seems out of the<br />

ordinary, strongly frustrating, or nonsensical, <strong>and</strong> that habit will carry on<br />

into your dreams. In a dream, these will tell you that you are sleeping,<br />

allowing you to become lucid. In order to remember to do reality checks in<br />

dreams, you need to establish a habit of doing reality checks in real life.<br />

One way to do a reality check is to look for "dream signs" (elements that<br />

frequently occur during your dreams, look for these in your dream journal),<br />

or things that would not normally exist in real life, <strong>and</strong> then conduct the<br />

reality checks. When these actions become habit, a person will begin to do<br />

them in her or his dreams, <strong>and</strong> can come to the conclusion that he/she is<br />

dreaming. Frequently doing reality checks can stabilize dreams. This is also<br />

known as DILD (Dream Induced Lucid Dreams). These are some suggestions<br />

you could try:<br />

99


Looking at a digital clock to see if it stays constant;<br />

Looking at a body of text, looking away, <strong>and</strong> then looking back to see<br />

if it has changed;<br />

Jumping in the air; you are usually able to fly during dreams<br />

Poking yourself; when dreaming, your "flesh" might be more elastic<br />

than in real life;<br />

Try leaning against a wall. In dreams, you will often fall through walls.<br />

Keep a dream journal. This is perhaps the most important step towards<br />

lucid dreaming. Keep it close by your bed at night, <strong>and</strong> write in it<br />

immediately after waking. This is an act of faith, showing that you are<br />

expecting to have dreams you will remember enough to record. You can<br />

also keep a voice recorder, or smart phone if you find it easier to repeat<br />

your dream out loud. This helps you recognize your common dream<br />

elements (people from your past, specific places, etc.), <strong>and</strong> also tells your<br />

brain that you are serious about remembering your dreams! It will also help<br />

you to recognize things that are unique to your dreams. You will be able to<br />

recognize your own "dream signs." These will be recurring things or events<br />

that you may notice in your dreams.<br />

Learn the best time to have a lucid dream. By being aware of your personal<br />

sleep schedule, you can arrange your sleep pattern to help induce lucid<br />

dreams.<br />

Go to bed at the same time every night, get in a routine.<br />

Go to bed early so that you get plenty of sleep. By getting enough<br />

sleep every night you should wake up just before your alarm going<br />

off, if you use one. Also by waking up before your alarm, your focus<br />

will not suddenly shift so that you forget what you were just doing<br />

(dreaming).<br />

A nap a few hours after waking in the morning is the most common<br />

time to have a lucid dream.<br />

You may want to wake up, eat breakfast, then go back to bed<br />

for a little bit.<br />

Actually a nap at any point of the day will usually help stimulate<br />

dreams, but just after waking (whatever time of the day it is) is<br />

the ideal time.<br />

Lucid dreams are strongly associated with REM sleep. REM sleep is<br />

more abundant just before the final awakening. This means they<br />

most commonly occur right before waking up.<br />

Dreams tends to run in 60-minute cycles during sleep. If you are<br />

working on dream recall, it may be helpful to try waking yourself up<br />

during one of these cycles (interrupted dreams are often the ones we<br />

remember).<br />

When trying to induce lucid dreaming there is a technique that you might<br />

find helpful.<br />

Set your alarm clock to wake you up 4.5, 6, or 7.5 hours after falling asleep.<br />

I recommend using an alarm clock that starts out quite <strong>and</strong> gradually<br />

gets louder, then shuts itself off after about 10-30 seconds of noise.<br />

You can usually find these as apps for smart phones.<br />

Abrupt, loud sounds usually startle you more <strong>and</strong> cause you to lose<br />

focus of what you were thinking about.<br />

When you are awakened by your alarm clock, try to remember the dream<br />

as much as possible.<br />

Remain totally still once you wake up, or at least as much as possible.<br />

If you start moving this forces more blood to the rest of the body, <strong>and</strong><br />

you will find you cannot remember your dream nearly as easily.<br />

<strong>As</strong>k yourself "what was I just doing?" as if it wasn't a dream, but<br />

reality. This will make the dream more real to you <strong>and</strong> much easier<br />

to recall, before it fades away.<br />

When you think you have remembered as much as you can, record the<br />

specifics then return to rest. Now imagining that you are in your previous<br />

dream, <strong>and</strong> becoming aware that you are dreaming. Say to yourself, "I will<br />

be aware that I'm dreaming," or something similar. Then go to sleep.<br />

Prolong lucid dreams by spinning your body or falling backwards in the<br />

dream (suspected of prolonging REM), <strong>and</strong> rubbing your h<strong>and</strong>s (prevents<br />

you from feeling the sensation of lying in bed). Take care while spinning.<br />

Remind yourself even as you spin or fall that you are dreaming, as you will<br />

find yourself in a completely different location when you stop spinning or<br />

hit the ground <strong>and</strong> may lose the dream otherwise. If you feel a dream<br />

'shakes' or is about to fade out, look down to the ground <strong>and</strong> visualize your<br />

surroundings, reminding yourself you are dreaming.<br />

Puns<br />

These are a few English word puns <strong>and</strong> saying. Sometime God will speak<br />

to you through these words puns by using a verse with its alternate word<br />

pun <strong>and</strong> meaning. The Hebrew language has many more word puns, it's<br />

fitting since the Hebrew are a people of the Word after all.<br />

Finality<br />

Just like Abraham, Isaac, & Jacob all gave a prophetic blessing to their children<br />

just before they passed. I believe people many times also speak out a<br />

prophecy that many times is known as their "famous last words," whether<br />

good or bad. I also believe that a baby's first words are a prophecy relating to<br />

their own life that they will live out. In the same way the "last words" a<br />

person says or even the way they die or transition into eternal life (or eternal<br />

death) can sometimes paint a prophetic picture of how that person will be in<br />

eternity. These are some examples:<br />

John Lennon (Singer):<br />

Some years before, during his interview with an American Magazine, he said:<br />

'Christianity will end, it will disappear. I do not have to argue about that...I am<br />

certain. Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple, today we are more<br />

famous than Him' (1966).<br />

Lennon, after saying that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, was<br />

shot six times.<br />

Tancredo Neves (President of Brazil):<br />

During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500,000 votes from his party,<br />

not even God would remove him from Presidency.<br />

Sure he got the votes, but he got sick a day before being made President, then<br />

he died.<br />

Cazuza (Bi-sexual Brazilian composer, singer <strong>and</strong> poet):<br />

During a show in Canecio (Rio de Janeiro), while smoking his cigarette, he puffed<br />

out some smoke into the air <strong>and</strong> said: 'God, that's for you.'<br />

He died at the age of 32 of LUNG CANCER in a horrible manner.<br />

The man who built the Titanic:<br />

After the construction of Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the Titanic<br />

would be. With an ironic tone he said: 'Not even God can sink it'.<br />

The result: I think you all know what happened to the Titanic.<br />

Marilyn Monroe (Actress):<br />

She was visited by Billy Graham during a presentation of a show. He said the<br />

Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her. After hearing what the Preacher<br />

had to say, she said: 'I don't need your Jesus'.<br />

A week later, she was found dead in her apartment.<br />

105


Bon Scott (Singer):<br />

The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC. On one of his 1979 songs he sang: 'Don't stop me;<br />

I'm going down all the way, down the highway to hell'.<br />

On the 19th of February 1980, Bon Scott was found dead, he had been choked<br />

by his own vomit.<br />

In 2005 at Campinas, Brazil a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a friend:<br />

The mother accompanied her to the car <strong>and</strong> was so worried about the<br />

drunkenness of her friends <strong>and</strong> she said to the daughter holding her h<strong>and</strong>, who<br />

was already seated in the car: 'My Daughter, Go with God <strong>and</strong> May He Protect<br />

You.' She responded: 'Only If He (God) Travels in the Trunk, because inside Here<br />

...It's already full'.<br />

Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal accident,<br />

everyone had died, <strong>and</strong> the car could not be recognized what type of car it had<br />

been, but surprisingly, the trunk was intact. The police said there was no way<br />

the trunk could have remained intact. To their surprise, inside the trunk was a<br />

crate of eggs, none was broken.<br />

Christine Hewitt (Jamaican Journalist <strong>and</strong> Entertainer):<br />

Said the Bible (Word of God) was the worst book ever written.<br />

In June 2006 she was found burnt beyond recognition in her motor vehicle.<br />

Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name that<br />

was given so much authority as the name of Jesus. Many have died, but only<br />

Jesus died <strong>and</strong> rose again, <strong>and</strong> he is still alive.<br />

Galatians 6:7 'Be not deceived; God is not mocked. For whatsoever a man sow,<br />

that shall he also reap.<br />

Hebrew Homonyms<br />

These are Hebrew words that are either spelled the same, or they sound the<br />

same when you speak them. The niqqud markings around the letters are used<br />

to differentiate how to speak the letter, but normally these are left out <strong>and</strong> to<br />

find the right meaning of the word you have to look at it in its contexts of the<br />

passage it's written in. Hebrew is a very rich language <strong>and</strong> you may be able to<br />

find prophetic meaning, but using the alternate meaning of a word in context.<br />

According to Jewish mystics there are 72 names of God found in the original<br />

Hebrew of Exodus 14:91-21. The names are derived by writing the letters of<br />

the three verses one above the other, with no vowel points, spaces, or<br />

punctuation marks, the first from right to left, the second from left to right,<br />

<strong>and</strong> the third from right to left. The names are then read from the top<br />

downwards.<br />

127


The suffix of "El" <strong>and</strong> "Yah" are added to the names to create the names of 72<br />

Monogramata<br />

The letter Hey commonly appears written either alone or repeated five times to<br />

represent the Name of God.<br />

According to the Jewish mystics, Hey represents the divine breath or revelation.<br />

On the fifth day, the LORD created ruach ("living creatures") <strong>and</strong> this<br />

corresponds to the letter Hey. Since the numerical value of Hey is five, this<br />

corresponds on a physical level to the five fingers, the five senses, <strong>and</strong> the five<br />

dimensions. On a spiritual level it corresponds to the five levels of soul:<br />

Nefesh - instincts<br />

Ruach - emotions<br />

Neshamah - mind<br />

Chayah - bridge to transcendence<br />

Yechidah – oneness<br />

"By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; <strong>and</strong> all the host of them by<br />

the breath of his mouth" (Psalm 33:6). In the Talmud (Menachot 29b) it is said<br />

131


that the "breath of His mouth" refers to the sound of the letter Hey - the out<br />

breathing of Spirit.<br />

The letter Aleph is the "father" of the Aleph-Bet, whose original pictograph<br />

represents an ox, strength, <strong>and</strong> leader. Its numerical value is one (<strong>and</strong> also<br />

1,000) <strong>and</strong> it is a silent letter. Aleph therefore is preeminent in its order <strong>and</strong><br />

alludes to the ineffable mysteries of the oneness of God. Indeed, the word aleph<br />

(derived from the very name of this letter) means "Master" or "Lord."<br />

In the classical Hebrew script (ketav <strong>As</strong>hurit) used for writing Torah scrolls,<br />

Aleph is constructed with two Yods (one to the upper right <strong>and</strong> the other to the<br />

lower left) that are joined by a diagonal Vav. Ketav <strong>As</strong>hurit was the script that<br />

Jesus would have read (ketav Ivri was an older script, similar to ancient<br />

Phoenician. Ketav Ivri is also sometimes called the Temple Script because<br />

samples of it are extant dated to the time of Solomon's Temple).<br />

The basic gematria for the letter Aleph is one, indicating the One <strong>and</strong> only God<br />

who is the Master of the universe. Note, however, that the gematria for the<br />

parts of the letter Aleph add up to 26 (Yod + Yod + Vav). This is the same<br />

number as the sacred Name YHVH, also indicating a link between the Aleph <strong>and</strong><br />

God Himself. This is also demonstrated in Exodus 3:14-15, where the LORD<br />

reveals His Name to Moses as I AM THAT I AM (<br />

)<br />

Digrammaton<br />

Refers to a two-letter Name of God. In the Scriptures, there are two main<br />

digrammata:<br />

The Name<br />

132


(Aleph-Lamed) comes from a root word meaning "might, strength, power,” the<br />

primary meanings of this root are "god" (pagan or false gods), "God" (the true<br />

God of Israel), <strong>and</strong> sometimes "the mighty" (referring to men or angels). When<br />

used of the true God of Israel, El is almost always qualified by additional words<br />

that further define the meaning that distinguish Him from false gods. These<br />

other Names or Titles for God are sometimes called "construct forms."<br />

<strong>An</strong>other digrammaton is the Name<br />

(Yah). It is generally thought that Yah is a shortened form of YHVH. This Name of<br />

God occurs about 50 times in the Tanakh. In Psalm 68:4, the 5 th H is particularly<br />

stressed. The Name YAH is also found in the construct word "hallelu-YAH,"<br />

which means "you [pl.] praise the LORD," as well as in many Biblical proper<br />

names (e.g., Eliyahu).<br />

The Rabbi’s state that God used the letter Hey to create the present world<br />

(olam hazeh) <strong>and</strong> Yod to create the world to come (olam habah). The sages<br />

derive this idea from the Name<br />

(Yah) found in Isaiah 26:4:<br />

How did they come up with this? Well, they consider b'yah in the text as<br />

meaning "with Yod-Hey" instead of referring to the Name Yah.<br />

In most Siddurim (prayer books) <strong>and</strong> other Jewish religious literature, you will<br />

often see the Sacred Name written in an abbreviated manner as Yod-Yod:<br />

This is done to avoid casually reading, writing or saying the sacred Name of God.<br />

Some mystics claim that this convention is also a Name of God, though that is<br />

unlikely.<br />

The Tetragrammaton<br />

133


In the Tanakh, YHVH is the personal name of God <strong>and</strong> his most frequent<br />

designation, occurring over 5,200 times. This is the Ineffable Name or<br />

Unutterable Name of the God of Israel. Because it is composed from the four<br />

Hebrew letters Yod, Hey, Vav, <strong>and</strong> Hey, it is also referred to as the<br />

"Tetragrammaton," which simply means "the four letters." Kabbalists, or Jewish<br />

Mystics use the Name (<strong>and</strong> permutations of it) in their meditations.<br />

Though we do not know how to pronounce the sacred Name, we can be<br />

confident that the letters derive from the Hebrew verb "to be" (HaYah) <strong>and</strong><br />

indicate God's utter transcendence as the Source <strong>and</strong> Ground of all being.<br />

The Octagrammaton<br />

"Octagrammaton" means "eight letters" <strong>and</strong> refers to an eight-letter Name of<br />

God created by interspersing the letters for Adonai with the letters for the<br />

Tetragrammaton:<br />

The Decagrammaton<br />

The so-called "Ten Letter Name of God" is derived from running together the<br />

names of the first three Sefirot (divine emanations or attributes of God which<br />

are said comprise the mystical "Tree of Life"): Keter (Crown), Chokhmah<br />

(Wisdom), <strong>and</strong> Binah (Underst<strong>and</strong>ing):<br />

The Twelve Letter Name of God<br />

134


There are two forms of this Name. The first form of the twelve letter Name is<br />

simply YHVH three times:<br />

This comes from the prayer liturgy: Adonai Melech, Adonai Malchah, Adonai<br />

Yimlokh L'Olam Va'ed – "YHVH is King, YHVH was King, YHVH will be King forever<br />

<strong>and</strong> ever."<br />

A second form of the 12-letter Name consists of the initials of the twelve tribes<br />

of Israel. These are recited in reverse order according to the breastplate of the<br />

Urim <strong>and</strong> Thumim: Reuben, Shimeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulon, Dan,<br />

Naphtali, Gad, <strong>As</strong>her, Yosef, <strong>and</strong> Benyamin:<br />

The Fourteen Letter Name of God<br />

The Fourteen Letter Name was derived from the phrase Adonai Eloheinu Adonai<br />

from the Shema, <strong>and</strong> was sometime written on the backs of mezuzot. The Name<br />

is formed by the simple method of substitution known as At-Bash Encryption:<br />

The 22 Letter Name of God<br />

The 22 Letter Name is sometimes considered part of the 72 Letter Name (see<br />

below) that includes reference to the 12 tribes of Israel:<br />

The 33 Letter Name of God<br />

This Name is derived from the Torah <strong>and</strong> is comprised of nine Names of God run<br />

together: Adonai, El, Eloah, Elohim, Shaddai, Tzeva'ot, Ehyeh, Yah, <strong>and</strong> YHVH:<br />

135


The 42 Letter Name of God<br />

The 42-Letter Name (like many of the others) has no known pronunciation, <strong>and</strong><br />

perhaps was derived from the 2nd-century prayer "<strong>An</strong>a Bekoach." It is<br />

mentioned in the Talmud <strong>and</strong> many of the Jewish Sages have speculated about<br />

its significance:<br />

The 72 Names of God - (or the 216 Letter Name of God)<br />

The 216-Letter Name of God is really a 72-part Name, since it is a sequence of<br />

72 triads of letters all of which are derived from permutations on Exodus 14:19-<br />

21 (which itself is composed of three verses of 72 letters each).<br />

To create the first triad, you put together the first letter of verse 14:19, the last<br />

letter of verse 14:20, <strong>and</strong> then the first letter of 14:21. To create the next triad,<br />

you put together the second letter of 14:19, the second to last of 14:20, <strong>and</strong> the<br />

second letter of 14:21. This continues until all the letters are used up. Like so:<br />

136


Using the algorithm, you will find the following 72 triads of letters embedded in<br />

Exodus 14:19-21:<br />

Theoretical the Jewish Mystics will look at each of the 72 triads <strong>and</strong> consider<br />

them as one of the 72 Names of God.<br />

The 304,805 Letter Name of God<br />

What is the "best" Hebrew Name of God? Some of the Jewish sages have said<br />

that it is revealed by reciting all 304,805 letters of the Torah in a series. That is,<br />

string together all 304,805 letters of the Torah - from the first letter of Bereshit<br />

(Bet) through the last letter of Devarim (Lamed) - <strong>and</strong> "read" this as a single<br />

"Word."<br />

Of course, we should also add the letters for the Prophets (neviim) <strong>and</strong> the<br />

Writings (ketuvim) to the Torah's 304,805 letters, not to mention the 138,020<br />

words of the Greek New Testament. When we do so, we have the 3,000,000<br />

letter name of God!<br />

137


Onomastics<br />

When Onomastics, or the meanings of Names, combined with Genealogy can<br />

sometime form a logical phrase or a prophecy. The most famous example is<br />

the meaning of the names form Adam to Noah:<br />

(God), Adam, Seth, Enosh, Kenan, Mahalalel, Jared, Enoch, Methuselah,<br />

Lamech, Noah<br />

Meaning:<br />

"(The God-)Man is appointed; a mortal man of sorrow is born! The Glory<br />

of God shall come down <strong>and</strong> teach that His death shall bring, the<br />

grieving, comfort <strong>and</strong> rest."<br />

Prophetology<br />

One of the best ways for learn about prophecy is to study those who<br />

moved in the most. The ancient Mystics or Prophets of the Bible are your<br />

best bet. These are highlighted in the Onomastics section. By studying<br />

these people as a whole you will find certain themes that they have in<br />

common with each other. All the classical prophets are different <strong>and</strong><br />

have their own personality, but they do tend to share a few similar<br />

characteristics.<br />

They have a focus on history.<br />

They shared characteristics common to poets.<br />

They desire justice for the orphan, widow, poor, foreigner, <strong>and</strong> the one<br />

who has been wronged.<br />

They desire to turn people back to God by telling them what is right<br />

according to God, <strong>and</strong> warning them of the consequences.<br />

They mourn when the judgment did come upon those they were sent to<br />

warn.<br />

They interceded for the people to God.<br />

They plead with God on the people’s behalf.<br />

They feel compassion for the people <strong>and</strong> sympathy for God.<br />

They see God as objective not just subjective, a presence not just an<br />

essence.<br />

They speak of God with human attributes.<br />

They were considered radical or extreme by many because of their thinking<br />

<strong>and</strong> methods.<br />

They Obedient <strong>and</strong> desire to do His will.<br />

They feared God, but knew God's love for them.<br />

They staked their life on the prophecies they gave.<br />

259


Prayer<br />

Visualize yourself sitting next to Yahshua in His throne room praying with<br />

Him.<br />

Be still before God <strong>and</strong> wait for what He will speak to you. Usually just key<br />

words or pictures at first.<br />

If you do not know what to pray, then just pray softly in tongues, until you<br />

do get something, or even if you don't.<br />

<strong>As</strong> long as you do not give up, you will get something. Sometimes it<br />

takes longer than others.<br />

P.U.S.H. Pray Until Something Happens.<br />

Fasting will accelerate <strong>and</strong> strengthen your prayers. There are several<br />

different kinds of fasts you can use<br />

Refrain from things other than food, such as T.V., sexual relations<br />

with your spouse, or other unnecessary activities.<br />

Just skip one or two meals <strong>and</strong> spend that time praying for your<br />

cause.<br />

The Partial Fast, or the Daniel Fast, where you only eat fruits <strong>and</strong><br />

vegetables.<br />

A Juice Fast, where you don’t eat any food, but restrict yourself to<br />

liquids.<br />

The Normal Fast, where you don’t eat any food, but restrict yourself<br />

to water only. (Normally people only attempt this for as much as 40<br />

days)<br />

The Complete Fast, where you don't eat or drink anything. (It isn't<br />

safe to go without water for more than 3 days)<br />

Matthew 6:10 Pray the Father's Will (<strong>and</strong> Heart). <strong>As</strong> it is in Heaven, if it's a<br />

specific way in Heaven it is meant to be that way on Earth too. This is an<br />

easy way to know the Father's Will.<br />

If in a group have everyone go be alone for a while <strong>and</strong> then see what<br />

words <strong>and</strong> impressions that everyone got.<br />

Amos 3:3 if you are in a group, clasping h<strong>and</strong>s together with the<br />

person next to you, shows that you have come into agreement about<br />

what you are praying for.<br />

Physical touch also makes it easier to pray prophetically, you<br />

will receive words more easily by "combining your faith."<br />

Make a list of all the words that appear more than once.<br />

Have everyone go be alone <strong>and</strong> pray what God leads them to pray<br />

concerning these words.<br />

Matthew 18:19 <strong>As</strong> a group come into agreement on what Gods will is.<br />

260


Ecclesiastes 4:9 Pray as a group, or getting more people to pray for<br />

the same thing increases the power of that prayer.<br />

Matthew 21:22 Pray with emotions, power, faith, & intensity.<br />

1 John 5:14-15 when you know that God literally hears everything you<br />

say to Him as you say it.<br />

Pray as if it has already been established, even if it's impossible, if the event<br />

has not taken place yet or even if the event has already taken place in the<br />

past.<br />

Use words like it will, it has, it is, I am, I have.<br />

I Comm<strong>and</strong>, I Declare, I Order.<br />

Place a dem<strong>and</strong> on your prayers, <strong>and</strong> a timeframe if one can apply.<br />

Rock back <strong>and</strong> forth, or move your body in some kind of periodic motion.<br />

This will do what I like to call "get you in the Zone." This is also what the<br />

Jews do when they pray.<br />

If you're praying out loud in tongues, also try praying in your head (in your<br />

own language). This is because you to just pray <strong>and</strong> not focus on what<br />

you're saying while praying in tongues. You can also visualize your mental<br />

prays as well. This isn't hard to do, you just have to keep practicing it so<br />

that you do not lose focus. Most people can do it the first time.<br />

Pray out loud in tongues.<br />

If seems fake or is difficult to accomplish you can try to pray<br />

faster, so that your natural mind cannot keep up with the words<br />

you are forming. This is what is known as a Mind-Bypass<br />

Pray in your own language, in your head.<br />

Visualize what you are praying in your head as well.<br />

Engage your emotions while praying, this will accelerate your prayers<br />

response time.<br />

Visualize your prayers in your imagination as you pray them out. See them<br />

being acted out <strong>and</strong> fulfilled, see the end result.<br />

If you get a r<strong>and</strong>om picture, word, or impression you believe God is<br />

speaking to you, start to pray that out.<br />

To pray without ceasing, try praying as if you are communicating<br />

telepathically with God. Talk to Him about Everything.<br />

Put your prayer into action. If you can do something to bring it about, do it!<br />

Don't just pray then sit there <strong>and</strong> let God do the rest. We are His Helpmate,<br />

His Bride, He wants to work WITH us!<br />

Worship<br />

The fastest way to bring in the presences of God is to worship, <strong>and</strong> the more<br />

powerful the Worship usually means a sooner appearing <strong>and</strong> much more<br />

tangible presence of God. Worship is Warfare in the Spirit Realm. These are<br />

methods to further empower your worship.<br />

Sing along with the lyrics, if you end up singing the wrong verse of a song<br />

just keep singing it, or make up your own lyrics to make the song personal<br />

to you.<br />

Singing in tongues.<br />

Something this is as simple as just making a groaning noise, such as<br />

an Oww, Eee, Ahh, or Ohh sound, or holding a pitch or tone.<br />

Close your eyes.<br />

Visualize yourself singing before God wherever you're at, or as if you are<br />

literally before Him in His Throne Room.<br />

<strong>As</strong> you focus on Jesus & sing out what comes to mind.<br />

Imagine God is speaking to you through the song itself <strong>and</strong> its lyrics.<br />

Hold out your h<strong>and</strong>s, or raise your arms to God in praise.<br />

Clapping your h<strong>and</strong>s is an act of warfare in the Spirit Realm.<br />

Dance <strong>and</strong> move as you feel led. God loves spontaneous dancing.<br />

Sing into the walls <strong>and</strong> the area around you to charge the atmosphere.<br />

Play an instrument or just sing skillfully for God.<br />

If you get tired sit or laydown <strong>and</strong> just receive.<br />

This is also known as soaking, but resting usually in a quiet place <strong>and</strong><br />

listening to worship music, while waiting upon the Lord <strong>and</strong><br />

meditating on Him.<br />

Some suggest music genres include:<br />

Worship<br />

Praise<br />

Christian<br />

Gospel<br />

Soaking<br />

Prophetic<br />

Instrumental<br />

Test different singing techniques, <strong>and</strong> see what you enjoy the most of<br />

what you are good at:<br />

Fade in <strong>and</strong> out as you sing.<br />

Hum.<br />

Sing from the abdomen to increase your low notes.<br />

263


Sing form the through to increase your high notes.<br />

Bend your knees to keep from fainting.<br />

Keep good posture & widen your base/footing to shoulder width.<br />

Try tilting you head bad to sing louder if needed.<br />

264


Listening<br />

Listening to God is just as important as speaking to God, but many people<br />

do not know how to listen to God. God has given us all the analogies <strong>and</strong><br />

examples we could need to underst<strong>and</strong> Him in our everyday lives. You<br />

practice listening to God the same way you would listen to people.<br />

Listening makes loved ones feel, appreciated, interesting, respected, &<br />

loved. Ordinary conversations emerge on deeper levels, as do our<br />

relationships when we are actively listening.<br />

When we listen, we foster the skill in others by acting as a model for<br />

positive <strong>and</strong> effective communication. We always learn more when we<br />

listen more than when we talk. Listening is a skill that anyone can master.<br />

The technique to Active listening is really an extension of the Golden Rule.<br />

To know how to listen to someone else, think about how you would want<br />

to be listened to.<br />

In our relationships, greater communication brings greater intimacy, since<br />

trust & communication are the basis of any good relationship. Parents<br />

listening to their kids helps build their self-esteem, something that God is<br />

always doing.<br />

While the ideas are intuitive, it might take some practice to develop these<br />

skills. These are some suggestions to try when listening:<br />

Maintain eye contact - Visualize Jesus is right there with you, face to face.<br />

Minimize external distractions - Turn off the TV; put down your magazine.<br />

Respond appropriately - when listening ask responsive questions, like "how<br />

did you do that?" or "When will that happen?"<br />

Focus solely on what God is saying - Give your undivided attention to God.<br />

Minimize internal distractions - If your own thoughts keep horning in,<br />

simply let them go, <strong>and</strong> continuously re-focus your attention on the<br />

speaker, much as you would during meditation.<br />

Keep an open mind while listening - God can do anything.<br />

Engage yourself - <strong>As</strong>k questions for clarification.<br />

Ironically, as your listening skills improve, so will your aptitude for<br />

conversation.<br />

265


Communication<br />

Public Speaking<br />

Be full of enthusiasm, but avoid speaking to loud, soft, fast, or slow<br />

unless the moment calls for it.<br />

Be yourself, but make an attempt to relate to your audience by<br />

dressing, <strong>and</strong> using words they are familiar with.<br />

Look at your audience, make short moments of eye contact.<br />

If you can't look them in the eyes, focus on their chin, nose, or<br />

forehead. They will usually not making direct eye contact if<br />

they are 10' away of more.<br />

Keep it short <strong>and</strong> to the point. Not everyone's attention span is as<br />

long as you might think. Keep your message to about 20-30 minutes<br />

at the longest, unless you notice genuine anticipation from your<br />

audience.<br />

Motivational Speaking<br />

Speak with emotion in your voice.<br />

Get Excited! Your enthusiasm is contagious.<br />

Give your testimony, mentioning the low points, but emphasizing the<br />

high points.<br />

Your message needs to be something your audience can focus on<br />

easily, perhaps what they focus on or relate to the most. Then it will<br />

really stick with them, making the most impact possible.<br />

Show them how your experience can benefit them.<br />

Focus on their needs <strong>and</strong> desires by using words like you, we, us. See<br />

the potential in them that they can't see in themselves. Tell them it's<br />

going to be ok again, even better than it was before. Try to tell them<br />

that they can, <strong>and</strong> will, do even greater things than they imagine for<br />

themselves.<br />

Believe in them. Even if they do not believe in themselves. If they<br />

are at least giving you their attention, then they at least have the<br />

hunger for more in life, <strong>and</strong> you will push (motivate) them to do it.<br />

Ice Breakers<br />

When you find someone <strong>and</strong> feel the need to talk with them start to<br />

scan them visually for anything you may have in common with them<br />

Do they wear a lot of your favorite color?<br />

Are they listening to music you also like?<br />

266


Does their clothing advertise anything to also have an interest<br />

in?<br />

If you have noticeably in common look again for what you can complement<br />

them on.<br />

Do they drive a cool car/motorcycle that's been customized?<br />

Do they have a healthy looking pet with them that they enjoy caring<br />

for?<br />

Do they have their children or gr<strong>and</strong>children with them? Are they<br />

cute <strong>and</strong> ornery?<br />

If for some reason you cannot find anything worth complementing then<br />

visually scan them for something you might inquire about of them.<br />

You look like you might know a lot about technology, cooking,<br />

basketball, …?<br />

That's an interesting T-shirt who is that B<strong>and</strong>, Product, Protest,<br />

Movement, …?<br />

I noticed you have a lot of Jewry, can you recommend a good<br />

jeweler?<br />

You have a lot of music, where do you get it all?<br />

People Skills<br />

Remember people personally<br />

Names<br />

Birthdays<br />

Their likes <strong>and</strong> dislikes<br />

Their dreams, goals, & concerns<br />

Family members<br />

Be Transparent about everything you do to avoid mistrust <strong>and</strong> fear.<br />

Get everyone involved, so every has a part <strong>and</strong> feels they are a part<br />

of something bigger than themselves.<br />

Being polite & always use your manners even when no one is around,<br />

this will only make you better at it.<br />

When around different culture, consent to their customs as long as<br />

the customs do not go against the Bible.<br />

Be able to Co-operation or work in a team with absolutely anyone!<br />

Effective Communication Skills<br />

Actively Listen <strong>and</strong> be Attentive<br />

267


Nod your head if they mention something you agree with, so<br />

they know you are really listening to, <strong>and</strong> not just hearing<br />

them.<br />

Make mental notes of what they said, so you can respond<br />

better when it is your turn to talk.<br />

Always be Truthful about everything you communicate to the best of<br />

your knowledge. Distrust will weaken or kill the relationship you had<br />

with that person.<br />

Also be Honest, Patient, Optimistic, Sincere, Respectful, Sensitive,<br />

<strong>and</strong> Accepting of others.<br />

Let your body language show them that you care about them <strong>and</strong><br />

their lives, not crossing your arms or fidgeting.<br />

Use gestures with your body, especially your facial features,<br />

arms, & the tone of your voice to help your audience<br />

remember what you said easier.<br />

Be aware of what your body language is saying at all times.<br />

This can communicates so much more than what your words<br />

may. (A picture is worth 1000 words)<br />

Avoid Mixed signals<br />

Such as smiling at someone while disciplining them. You will<br />

not get your point across this way.<br />

Be organized, <strong>and</strong> an outlines structure that flows from one idea to a<br />

very similar idea is best.<br />

Stay in a calm relaxed state (so as not to start making nervous<br />

gestures).<br />

Leave yourself in a venerable state, so other feel much more<br />

comfortable approaching you.<br />

Sitting by yourself<br />

Perhaps focused on something in front of you, like a book, (not<br />

paying too much attention to what's around you).<br />

Sleeping<br />

Make yourself Available<br />

Leave a multitude of way open for people to contact you<br />

(phone #'s, mail, email's, IM's, social networking's, …)<br />

Smile at people<br />

Look them in the eyes<br />

One technique to help with this is to consciously look into one<br />

of the listener’s eyes <strong>and</strong> then move to the other eye. Going<br />

back <strong>and</strong> forth between the two makes your eyes appear to<br />

268


sparkle, by unnoticeably & ever so slightly moving your<br />

eyeballs to reflect the light off of them.<br />

Make every attempt to relate to them, without going so far out of<br />

your element that you have to fake it.<br />

If they are a business man, be a business man<br />

If they are a farmer, be a farmer<br />

If they are a little kid, be a little kid.<br />

Be Concise, avoid all the rhetoric <strong>and</strong> information overload. They will<br />

remember better this way.<br />

If you are not sure what the other person is trying to communicate to<br />

you, paraphrase it back to them in a question.<br />

Following up with the person after a few days, will show that you<br />

remember what they speaking.<br />

If you have to take notes of what they are saying. This might<br />

seem more formal or impersonal, but it may be necessary at<br />

times to remember everything.<br />

Make reminders for yourself also if needed<br />

Be Persuasive when trying to make a point<br />

Relate to the person's wants <strong>and</strong> needs.<br />

Focus on the positives of your ideas.<br />

If there are negatives be sure to point them out <strong>and</strong> how<br />

they are minor, & that the positives greatly outweigh<br />

them.<br />

Clear & Easy to Underst<strong>and</strong>, by using other resources to get your thought<br />

across to others<br />

<strong>An</strong>alogies/Metaphors<br />

Props/Visuals<br />

Interactive Demo/Examples/Samples<br />

Dramatizations/Exaggerations (Prophetic acts)<br />

Be Confident is what you are communicating. People may not believe what<br />

you tell them if you yourself do not feel confident about it<br />

<strong>An</strong>imate your speech, raise <strong>and</strong> lower or speed up or slow down your voice<br />

to emphasize certain points as needed<br />

Add a sudden pause for dramatic effect.<br />

Or an abrupt ending also for the same dramatic effect.<br />

When emphasizing a point, pause after making it then repeat it as if<br />

you had not even said it the first time.<br />

Avoid saying things like "let me repeat that" or "I'll say that<br />

again."<br />

269


Add an abrupt change of emotion to leave a powerful effect on the<br />

conversation.<br />

This leaves people focusing on what you last said during the<br />

pause of whatever length.<br />

Use the correct volume in your voice so everyone can hear you.<br />

If you can leave them with a closing thought, something to chew on or<br />

think about. This will theoretically keep the conversation going in their<br />

minds even after you've left.<br />

Practice!<br />

270


Deliverance<br />

Deliverance, Healings, & Creative Miracles can be considered a Prophetic<br />

<strong>Science</strong>. Usually in this type of ministry someone must be first delivered form<br />

the sickness, or more specifically the demonic force that is behind it first,<br />

which is the deliverance part, so they can more easily receive their healing, or<br />

creative miracle. This is the Prophetic Protocol, or guild lines to be used in<br />

Prophetic Deliverance, Healings, & Creative Miracles:<br />

Give testimony of similar healings. This is essentially Mark 16:20<br />

preaching the Gospel with Signs.<br />

o I usually tell them of my own healings, otherwise similar miracles<br />

I've witnessed myself first h<strong>and</strong> of their condition, or miracles Jesus<br />

or others did in the Bible similar to their current condition.<br />

o This glorifies God, <strong>and</strong> charges the atmosphere for additional<br />

miracles to manifest.<br />

Tell them & believe that, God can, desires to, & will heal them (even if it's<br />

a progressive healing <strong>and</strong> not imminent).<br />

o Sometimes they will not be healed until the next day, or week, or 6<br />

months later. But it will still glorify God since it's usually something<br />

that was a lifelong disability or "incurable" illness anyway.<br />

If you are praying specially for Deliverance, many times you will need to<br />

first "Bind the Strong Man" according to Matthew 12:29<br />

You will also need to pray <strong>and</strong> fast beforeh<strong>and</strong> for their cause. Matthew<br />

17:21<br />

Visualize the healing or deliverance in your own Mind.<br />

Pray with, before you pray for them, (Come into Agreement). The same<br />

way we pray with Jesus, <strong>and</strong> not just to Him.<br />

o Matthew 18:19 Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree<br />

about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in<br />

heaven.<br />

o Quote Scriptures that reinforce what God can do through us (Isaiah<br />

53:5 "…by his wounds we are healed").<br />

Lay h<strong>and</strong>s on the illness/wound.<br />

o If you are going to pray for someone who has an illness in a part of<br />

the body that is not appropriate to lay h<strong>and</strong>s on, like tactical or<br />

breast cancer, you can stretch out a h<strong>and</strong> towards the area while<br />

praying, or place your h<strong>and</strong> on a neutral part of their body, such as<br />

the head, chest, back, shoulder, or just place your h<strong>and</strong> on theirs.<br />

271


You can also do this with one h<strong>and</strong> while the other is stretched out<br />

to the affected body part.<br />

Pray into the illness/wound.<br />

Speak it out in a Comm<strong>and</strong>; comm<strong>and</strong> the demon to leave, or the body<br />

part to be healed.<br />

o You don't have be forceful or violent for this to work, just speak it<br />

out, you have the authority over all the Earth, as a redeemed child<br />

of God.<br />

o <strong>An</strong>d be descriptive when praying for healings & creative miracles,<br />

this helps the person being prayed for to visualize themselves being<br />

healed.<br />

Commit actions (dramatization) as a prophetic act of healing.<br />

Use your emotions to make it stronger.<br />

o Love is the strongest emotion. Mark 1:41, Jesus was moved with<br />

compassion.<br />

If they are partially healed after you pray for them in the name of Jesus,<br />

then praise Him for the partial healing, <strong>and</strong> pray again.<br />

o Mark 8:22-25 Even Jesus had to pray twice for a blind man to<br />

receive his sight back.<br />

o There have been others who had to pray as much as 16 or more<br />

times for complete restoration.<br />

If someone who needs healing, deliverance, or a miracle cannot be there<br />

physically to be ministered to, someone who cares for this person can<br />

st<strong>and</strong> in proxy form this person, or you can also minister to them through<br />

telephone, or video conference, or other means if available.<br />

Bless them, <strong>and</strong> send them off telling them to go <strong>and</strong> do likewise.<br />

o Matthew 10:8 freely they have received, so freely give.<br />

These are just some examples of what is believed by many in the<br />

Charismatic community to be the main Causes & the Body Part Effected<br />

that need healed:<br />

272


Cause Body Part Effected<br />

Fear Kidneys & Bladder<br />

Panic Attack & Fright Heart<br />

Greif & sorrow Repertory & Colin<br />

<strong>An</strong>ger Liver<br />

Worry Digestion Issues<br />

Let Downs Back Pain<br />

Don't want to see something Eyes<br />

Molested Prostitution<br />

Demon Possessed Epileptic & Paraplegic<br />

<strong>Art</strong>hritis Unforgiveness<br />

Many times the person may have a condition that they have not done<br />

anything in their life to receive but many times while a person is in the<br />

womb the environment itself, parents feelings, & emotions during<br />

conception <strong>and</strong> throughout the pregnancy <strong>and</strong> while they are a toddler<br />

will program the kind of person you are including these conditions. If the<br />

mother experiences fear during conception or the pregnancy the child<br />

may have kidney, or bladder problems later in life.<br />

For this reason Parent should bless their children continually, but<br />

especially during these 7 times.<br />

During conception<br />

While in the womb<br />

At birth<br />

Infancy<br />

Puberty (Rite of Passage)<br />

o Somewhere in between these two blessings many parent will have a<br />

Bar Barakah for their son, or Bat Barakah for their daughter, which<br />

is a Christian Bar Mitzvah <strong>and</strong> includes 3 steps:<br />

273


Preparation — a process which includes the parents praying<br />

for their child <strong>and</strong> how they will bless them <strong>and</strong> help them<br />

into their future destiny.<br />

The Ceremony — the time in which the child is publicly<br />

released into adulthood, cut from childhood ties to the<br />

mother <strong>and</strong> set apart by their father’s words/blessing into<br />

their identity <strong>and</strong> destiny.<br />

The Celebration — a party/reception following the ceremony.<br />

A feast is made <strong>and</strong> ideas <strong>and</strong> testimonies are read from<br />

parents who have planned a blessing ceremony.<br />

Marriage<br />

During old age (or when the parent is on their death bed)<br />

When Deliverance involves casting out Demons or Unclean Spirits know<br />

that there is a legal system in the Spirit Realm.<br />

You must Repent of the sin (intend to never do it again).<br />

Then Forgive (not the sin, but yourself first, then others).<br />

o This means to send away the evil feelings, emotions, & actions.<br />

o <strong>An</strong>d replace it with Godly feelings, emotions, & actions.<br />

Now cast out the highest ranking demon then the rest will follow easily.<br />

o Usually the highest ranking are spirits of Inferiority <strong>and</strong> Insecurity<br />

then spirits of sickness, deafness, mute spirits….<br />

Then you pronounce/comm<strong>and</strong> healing in Yeshua's being.<br />

Tell them to do something that they could not do before to test <strong>and</strong> know<br />

that they have been healed. If it's not something they can test, such as an<br />

addiction, they may feel a peace overwhelm them, or many times they<br />

may feel "pins <strong>and</strong> needles" all over, or a heat, or electricity surge through<br />

their body, or some other similar sensation.<br />

Spiritual Gift Definitions:<br />

Administration/Ruling<br />

This is the spiritual gift where the Spirit enables certain Christians to organize,<br />

administrate, <strong>and</strong> promote the various affairs of the local church's ministry to<br />

direct them effectively. A local church cannot grow beyond a certain point<br />

without the ministry of these individuals. See 1 Corinthians 12:28, Romans 12:8,<br />

& Titus 1:4-5<br />

This is the spiritual gift where the Spirit empowers certain Christians to render<br />

practical help in both physical <strong>and</strong> spiritual matters. Serving one another, like<br />

evangelism, is a calling of all Christians, but there are some who have a special<br />

Corinthians 12:28, & Galatians 6:1-2<br />

body of believers. See Ephesians 4:11, 1 Peter 5:1-11<br />

Teaching<br />

communicate <strong>and</strong> clarify the details <strong>and</strong> truths of God's Word for others to<br />

learn. See Romans 12:7, & Ephesians 4:11<br />

With the exception of Helps <strong>and</strong> Service, which about 75% of a typical<br />

congregation has, very few gifts st<strong>and</strong>alone without support gifts, or<br />

complementing gifts.<br />

For example the following are natural pairs:<br />

Teaching <strong>and</strong> Knowledge<br />

Healing <strong>and</strong> Faith<br />

Hospitality <strong>and</strong> Service<br />

Leadership <strong>and</strong> Administration<br />

Wisdom <strong>and</strong> Discernment<br />

Pairs like these show that gifts won't always function to maximum effectiveness<br />

without the support of another gift. What a beautiful picture of the body of<br />

Christ. We are diverse, yet can't get along without each other.<br />

288


Apologetics<br />

A study of Messiantics: Revelation 19:10 for the essence of prophecy is to give<br />

a clear witness for Jesus.<br />

This is not an exhaustive list just list of prophecies proclaimed in the Old<br />

Testament <strong>and</strong> their fulfillment. There are over 300 prophecies of Jesus the<br />

Messiah, here is a sample of just 8 for example:<br />

Old Testament<br />

Prophecy<br />

Christ to be born in<br />

Bethlehem<br />

(Micah 5:2)<br />

Forerunner of Christ<br />

(Malachi 3:1)<br />

Christ to enter<br />

Jerusalem riding on a<br />

donkey<br />

(Zech 9:9)<br />

Christ to be betrayed<br />

by a friend<br />

(Psalm 41:9)<br />

Christ to be betrayed<br />

for 30 pieces of silver<br />

(Zech 11:12)<br />

30 pieces of silver<br />

casted down <strong>and</strong> used<br />

to buy a potter's field<br />

(Zech 11:13)<br />

New Testament<br />

Fulfillment<br />

<strong>An</strong>d Herod asked where<br />

Christ had been born ...<br />

they answered<br />

Bethlehem<br />

(Matt 2:4-6)<br />

John the Baptist, the<br />

forerunner of Christ<br />

(Mark 1:2-8)<br />

Christ enters Jerusalem<br />

riding on a donkey<br />

(Matt 21:4-11)<br />

Judas betrayed Jesus<br />

(Luke 22:21)<br />

Judas sold out Jesus for<br />

30 pieces of silver<br />

(Matt 26:15)<br />

30 pieces of silver used<br />

to buy a potter's field<br />

(Matt 27:3-10)<br />

289<br />

Probability<br />

2.8 x 10 5 or 1 in 280,000<br />

1 x 10 3 or 1 in 1,000<br />

1 x 10 2 or 1 in 100<br />

1 x 10 3 or 1 in 1,000<br />

1 x 10 3 or 1 in 1,000<br />

1 x 10 5 or 1 in 100,000


Although innocent,<br />

Christ kept silent when<br />

on trial<br />

(Isaiah 53:7)<br />

Christ crucified<br />

(Psalm 22:16)<br />

Jesus kept silent when<br />

questioned<br />

(Mark 14:60-61)<br />

Jesus was crucified<br />

(John 19:17, 18)<br />

290<br />

1 x 10 3 or 1 in 1,000<br />

1 x 10 4 or 1 in 10,000<br />

To answer the question what is the probability of one man fulfilling all eight<br />

prophecies, the principal of probability is applied. Therefore, multiplying all<br />

eight probabilities together (1 times 2.8 x 10 5 x 10 3 x 10 2 x 10 3 x 10 3 x 10 5 x 10 3<br />

x 10 4 ) gives us 2.8 x 10 28 , or for simplicity sake 1 x 10 28 or 1 in<br />

10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. Given this <strong>and</strong> the time span<br />

between the writings of the Old Testament <strong>and</strong> the fulfillment by Christ in the<br />

New Testament, the prophecies were either given to the prophets by God, or<br />

the prophets just wrote them down as they thought they should be. With<br />

Christ fulfilling all eight prophecies, what are the odds the prophets were just<br />

guessing? The probability of fulfilling all of the prophecies listed below would<br />

surpass the estimated total number of atoms in the observable universe, 1 x<br />

10 80 .<br />

Prophecies concerning Jesus's second coming:<br />

1. FALSE PROPHETS AND CHRISTS<br />

Matthew 24:5 "For many will come in my name, saying, I am Christ, <strong>and</strong><br />

will mislead many."<br />

Matthew 24:11 "<strong>An</strong>d many false prophets will arise, <strong>and</strong> will mislead<br />

many."<br />

2. WARS<br />

Matthew 24:6 "<strong>An</strong>d you will be hearing of wars <strong>and</strong> rumors of wars; see<br />

that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is<br />

not yet the end."<br />

309


Rumors of wars in all areas of the world now occur frequently thanks to<br />

instant media coverage <strong>and</strong> the availability of a multitude of 24-hour<br />

news sources.<br />

Matthew 24:7 "For nation will rise against nation, <strong>and</strong> kingdom against<br />

kingdom, <strong>and</strong> in various places there will be famines <strong>and</strong> earthquakes."<br />

3. FAMINES<br />

kingdom, <strong>and</strong> in various places there will be famines <strong>and</strong> earthquakes."<br />

4. EARTHQUAKES<br />

Matthew 24:7 "For nation will rise against nation, <strong>and</strong> kingdom against<br />

kingdom, <strong>and</strong> in various places there will be famines <strong>and</strong> earthquakes."<br />

5. TRIBULATIONS<br />

Matthew 24:8-9 "But all these things are merely the beginning of birth<br />

pangs. Then they will deliver you to tribulation, <strong>and</strong> will kill you, <strong>and</strong> you<br />

will be hated by all nations on account of my name."<br />

6. THE GOSPEL WILL BE PREACHED THROUGHOUT THE WORLD<br />

Matthew 24:14 "<strong>An</strong>d this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the<br />

whole world for a witness to all the nations, <strong>and</strong> then the end shall come."<br />

TWO CHARACTERISTICS OF THE END OF THE AGE FROM THE APOSTLE PAUL<br />

1. GODLESSNESS IN THE LAST DAYS<br />

II Timothy 3:1-7 "But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will<br />

come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant,<br />

disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving,<br />

malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,<br />

treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of<br />

310


god; holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power;<br />

always learning <strong>and</strong> never able to come to the knowledge of the truth."<br />

2. APOSTASY (FALLING AWAY FROM THE FAITH)<br />

I Timothy 4:1-3 "But the spirit explicitly says that in later times some will<br />

fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits <strong>and</strong> doctrines<br />

of demons. By means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own<br />

conscience as with a br<strong>and</strong>ing iron, men who forbid marriage <strong>and</strong><br />

advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully<br />

shared in by those who believe <strong>and</strong> know the truth."<br />

ELEVEN FULFILLMENTS OF BIBLE PROPHECY REQUIRED FOR THE END OF THE<br />

AGE<br />

1. EXISTENCE OF A 200,000,000 MAN ARMY IN THE EAST<br />

Revelation 9:16 "<strong>An</strong>d the number of the armies of the horsemen was two<br />

hundred million; I heard the number of them."<br />

2. REDEVELOPMENT OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE (EUROPEAN COMMUNITY)<br />

Daniel 2:32-33 "The head of the statue was made of fine gold, its breast<br />

<strong>and</strong> its arms of silver, its belly <strong>and</strong> its thighs of bronze, its legs of iron, its<br />

feet partly of iron <strong>and</strong> partly of clay."<br />

Daniel 2:40-43 "Then there will be a fourth kingdom as strong as iron;<br />

inasmuch as iron crushes <strong>and</strong> shatters all things, so like iron that breaks in<br />

pieces, it will crush <strong>and</strong> break all these in pieces. <strong>An</strong>d in that you saw the<br />

feet <strong>and</strong> toes, partly of potter's clay <strong>and</strong> partly of iron, it will be a divided<br />

kingdom; but it will have the toughness of iron, <strong>and</strong> partly of pottery, so<br />

some of the kingdom will be strong <strong>and</strong> part of it will be brittle. <strong>An</strong>d in<br />

that you saw the iron mixed with clay, they will combine with one another<br />

in the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, even as iron<br />

does not combine with pottery."<br />

3. RETURN OF THE ONE PURE LANGUAGE, HEBREW, TO ISRAEL<br />

311


Zephaniah 3:9 "For then I will return to the people a pure language, that<br />

they may all call upon the name of the Lord, to serve him with one<br />

consent."<br />

4. REBUILDING OF THE TEMPLE, RESTORATION OF TEMPLE WORSHIP AND<br />

ANIMAL SACRIFICES IN JERUSALEM<br />

For several end time prophecies to be fulfilled, the temple will have to be<br />

rebuilt.<br />

Revelation 11:2 "Leave out the court which is outside the temple <strong>and</strong> do<br />

not measure it, for it has been given to the nations; <strong>and</strong> they will tread<br />

underfoot the holy city for forty-two months."<br />

Daniel 9:27 "<strong>An</strong>d he will make a firm covenant with the many for one<br />

week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice <strong>and</strong><br />

grain offering; <strong>and</strong> on the wing of abominations will come one who makes<br />

desolation, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is<br />

poured out on the one who makes desolate."<br />

Daniel 9:26 "Then after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off <strong>and</strong><br />

have nothing, <strong>and</strong> the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the<br />

city <strong>and</strong> the sanctuary."<br />

5. APPEARANCE OF THE RED HEIFER AFTER 2000 YEARS<br />

Numbers 19:2-7 "This is the statute of the law which the Lord has<br />

comm<strong>and</strong>ed, saying, "Speak to the sons of Israel that they bring you an<br />

unblemished red heifer in which is no defect <strong>and</strong> on which a yoke has<br />

never been placed. "You shall give it to Eleazar the priest, <strong>and</strong> it shall be<br />

brought outside the camp <strong>and</strong> be slaughtered in his presence. Next<br />

Eleazar the priest shall take some of its blood with his finger <strong>and</strong> sprinkle<br />

some of its blood toward the front of the tent of meeting seven<br />

times. "Then the heifer shall be burned in his sight; its hide <strong>and</strong> its flesh<br />

<strong>and</strong> its blood, with its refuse, shall be burned. "The priest shall then wash<br />

his clothes <strong>and</strong> bathe his body in water, <strong>and</strong> afterward come into the<br />

camp, but the priest shall be unclean until evening."<br />

6. INCREASE IN KNOWLEDGE AND TRAVEL<br />

312


Daniel 12:4 "But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words <strong>and</strong> seal up the<br />

book until the end of time; many will go back <strong>and</strong> forth, <strong>and</strong> knowledge<br />

will increase."<br />

7. RETURN OF THE ETHIOPIAN JEWS TO ISRAEL<br />

Zephaniah 3:10-11 "From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia My worshipers, My<br />

dispersed ones, will bring My offerings. In that day you will feel no shame<br />

because of all your deeds by which you have rebelled against Me; For then<br />

I will remove from your midst your proud, exulting ones, <strong>and</strong> you will never<br />

again be haughty on My holy mountain."<br />

8. THE RISE OF RUSSIA<br />

Ezekiel 38:2-8 "Son of man, set your face toward Gog of the l<strong>and</strong> of<br />

Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech <strong>and</strong> Tubal, <strong>and</strong> prophesy against<br />

him. I will turn you about <strong>and</strong> put hooks into your jaws, <strong>and</strong> I will bring<br />

you out, <strong>and</strong> all your army, horses <strong>and</strong> horsemen, all of them splendidly<br />

attired, a great company with buckler <strong>and</strong> shield, all of them wielding<br />

swords. After many days you will be summoned; in the latter years you<br />

will come into the l<strong>and</strong> that is restored from the sword, whose inhabitants<br />

have been gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel which<br />

had been a continual waste; but its people were brought out from the<br />

nations, <strong>and</strong> they are living securely, all of them."<br />

9. RETURN OF RUSSIAN JEWS TO ISRAEL<br />

Jeremiah 23:7-8 "Therefore behold, the days are coming declares the<br />

Lord, when they will no longer say, as the Lord lives, who brought up the<br />

sons of Israel from the l<strong>and</strong> of Egypt, but as the Lord lives, who brought up<br />

<strong>and</strong> led back the descendants of the household of Israel from the north<br />

l<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> from all the countries where I have driven them. Then they will<br />

live on their own soil."<br />

10. TECHNOLOGY FOR THE MARK OF THE BEAST<br />

Revelation 13:16-17 "<strong>An</strong>d he causes all, the small <strong>and</strong> the great, <strong>and</strong> the<br />

rich <strong>and</strong> the poor, <strong>and</strong> the freemen <strong>and</strong> the slaves to be given a mark on<br />

their right h<strong>and</strong> or on their forehead, <strong>and</strong> he provides that no one will be<br />

313


able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name<br />

of the beast or the number of his name."<br />

11. INSTANT COMMUNICATION AROUND THE WORLD<br />

Revelation 11:3, 7-10 "<strong>An</strong>d I will grant authority to my two witnesses, <strong>and</strong><br />

they will prophecy for twelve hundred <strong>and</strong> sixty days, clothed in<br />

sackcloth. When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes<br />

up out of the abyss will make war with them, <strong>and</strong> overcome them <strong>and</strong> kill<br />

them. <strong>An</strong>d their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which<br />

mystically is called Sodom <strong>and</strong> Egypt, where also their Lord was<br />

crucified. Those from the peoples <strong>and</strong> tribes <strong>and</strong> tongues <strong>and</strong> nations will<br />

look at their dead bodies for three <strong>and</strong> a half days, <strong>and</strong> will not permit<br />

their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb. <strong>An</strong>d those who dwell on the earth<br />

will rejoice over them <strong>and</strong> celebrate; <strong>and</strong> they will send gifts to one<br />

another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the<br />

earth."<br />

Luke 21:28 "But when these things begin to take place, straighten up<br />

<strong>and</strong> lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near."<br />

Luke 21:32 "Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all<br />

things take place."<br />

314


Evangelism<br />

When ministering to people in public throughout the day the hardest part is<br />

usually just breaking the ice. Once you can get their attention it's usually a lot<br />

easier. These are some Ice-Breakers you can use for Power Evangelism:<br />

Look for something about that person that you can complement, such as:<br />

Their facial features (eyes, smile, teeth, hair…)<br />

Their clothing style or what they are wearing (colors, jewelry,<br />

cologne, perfume, make-up…)<br />

What they are doing (drawing, repairing something…)<br />

Tell them how beautiful or energetic their kids or pets are that are<br />

with them (dog, child, baby, bird…)<br />

Say how much you admire their possessions (the vehicle they drive,<br />

their bike, fishing pole, skate board, purse…)<br />

The place they are currently hanging out (Office, Work Shop, Lab,<br />

Studio…)<br />

Probe with a question, then immediately look for a follow up question to<br />

keep the conversation going:<br />

What are you listening to?<br />

Excuse me do you know what time it is?<br />

Do you know where ______ is form here?<br />

Do you have change for a $20?<br />

Do you mind if I sit here?<br />

Would you like a piece of gum? (or a mint, after you take one<br />

yourself, so they don't feel like you're suggesting they have bad<br />

breath)<br />

Try to stay sensitive to where the Holy Spirit maybe directing you. A lot of<br />

time's He may be directing you to somewhere that doesn't seem to make<br />

any sense why He would want you there, such as a City Dump, Drug<br />

Houses, Night Clubs, New-Age Fairs, Strip Clubs, Sex Shops, or anywhere<br />

really, good or bad. God loves these people too, <strong>and</strong> you may be the only<br />

one who ever reaches out to them. If you have a serious weakness to<br />

places like these from your past it may be your human spirit talking to you<br />

<strong>and</strong> not the Holy Spirit, <strong>and</strong> it would be best to seek out deliverance first,<br />

before entering places like these.<br />

315


These are some examples of places you can try going that are good to<br />

practice at. Sometimes you make have to sign up for a membership or to<br />

volunteer at these places to get in, if you can't just walk in.<br />

Nursing Homes<br />

Waiting Rooms for the ER/Hospital<br />

Soup Kitchens/Homeless Shelters<br />

Malls/Grocery Stores<br />

Fairs/Trade Shows<br />

The Gym<br />

Universities<br />

Parks<br />

High Traffic areas where people walk a lot<br />

<strong>An</strong>ywhere<br />

If God has shown or spoken to you earlier about a person or place you<br />

happen to notice while you're out, go to them, or that place once you<br />

notice it.<br />

Keep an eye out for someone who is injured. Like someone wearing a cast<br />

or on crutches who you can pray for healing for.<br />

It is usually more effective to seek people out instead of just waiting for<br />

them to come to you, but both ways can be very effective.<br />

If you are sitting on a park bench, God may send someone to sit down<br />

beside you who needs ministered to.<br />

If you enjoy doing Dream Interpretation, a lot of time it is beneficial<br />

to set up table or booth <strong>and</strong> advertise it as something like "Dream<br />

Team"<br />

Usually if someone is sitting or st<strong>and</strong>ing somewhere alone they are<br />

more willing to open up <strong>and</strong> talk to you if you approach them than<br />

say someone in a group, but this is never always the case.<br />

You have 2 ears <strong>and</strong> one mouth. You have to listen at least twice as much<br />

as you talk, <strong>and</strong> not just to the other person, but to the Holy Spirit too.<br />

A lot of the time these people may not be spiritual at all, so you are going<br />

to have to change you approach so you can speak to them on their level, as<br />

compared to someone you may speak to in your church family. You may<br />

need to change you terminology, <strong>and</strong> body language for this.<br />

You should always ask if it's ok to pray for someone first<br />

316


If they refuse, you will just have to pray for them in private after they<br />

leave that the Holy Spirit will move in their lives.<br />

If they agree you should always ask if it's ok to lay h<strong>and</strong>s on them as<br />

well, or to hold their h<strong>and</strong>s in prayer.<br />

Some people are weirded out when you use words like mantel,<br />

anointing, covering, prophecy… These are very spiritual sounding<br />

words, <strong>and</strong> it may be better to just keep your terminology simple if<br />

possible.<br />

If you feel like God may be showing you a way to minister to them, ask<br />

them a general question like [whatever you believe God has shown you],<br />

such as:<br />

"This might seem weird, but do you have a pain in<br />

shoulder/back/neck/side/foot/wherever?"<br />

"You wouldn't happen to have an uncle with cancer right now, would<br />

you?"<br />

"Are you currently have problems in your family life?"<br />

"I feel like you're going through some very stressful situations right<br />

now, is that true?"<br />

"You wouldn't happen to be a singer would you?"<br />

"I'm doing a survey for a class. Do you have any unique dreams you<br />

would be willing to share with me?"<br />

"Is there anything I can pray about for you right now?"<br />

317


Practice<br />

The Gift of Prophecy is compared to a muscle, if you want your gift to<br />

become greater, stronger, <strong>and</strong> more powerful you have to excise it by<br />

applying to when the opportunity arises, or start searching out<br />

applications for your gift, or creating opportunities to use it. The more<br />

you use it the better at it you will become, even it's not your specific Godgiven<br />

gift. These are some way you can practice using the gift of<br />

prophecy.<br />

Conduct a Treasure Hunt. In a group of maybe 5 to 10 people what<br />

everyone start praying <strong>and</strong> ask God for who He would have the group<br />

minister to. Wait until everyone gets something form the Lord then make a<br />

list of what everyone believes God showed or spoke to them.<br />

<strong>An</strong> example of this might be something like: a blue shirt, a mother,<br />

the local shopping mall, a park bench, 7:00, brown hair, <strong>and</strong> a boy.<br />

Once you have the list made go to where you believe God was<br />

showing you to go <strong>and</strong> there should be a person who fits this<br />

description that God wants you to pray from <strong>and</strong> bless them.<br />

In this example the Treasure might be a young boy in a blue shirt<br />

(with his mother) at a local park (next to a mall) playing with his<br />

puppy which has brown hair.<br />

Now go <strong>and</strong> present the list of everything God showed you to the<br />

person <strong>and</strong> ask if you can pray a personal blessing over them.<br />

<strong>As</strong> a large group of people give everyone a note card <strong>and</strong> draw a symbol on<br />

the back of the card that only you will recognize so that you know it is your<br />

card without identifying yourself on the card. On the front of your card<br />

write the number 1 on the first line, 2 on the second line, <strong>and</strong> so on to 10.<br />

Now give the card to someone r<strong>and</strong>omly in the group of people.<br />

Then have them exchange it a second time if you desire, just so the<br />

original person is unknown.<br />

Now the organizer of this practice will tell everyone to ask God for<br />

the name of a Bible charter the God wants to relate to this person.<br />

Once the name comes to you write it down, it you start getting<br />

additional names only write down the first one that came to you.<br />

There should be a set time to complete this step usually only 60<br />

seconds are given for each step.<br />

After 60 seconds the first step is complete. They can give a 10 second<br />

warning for each step if desired. You cannot leave a line blank but<br />

318


must write the first name you can think of, if you do not feel God has<br />

given you anything to write.<br />

You will repeat this process for all 10 questions. Some examples of<br />

questions you can use are.<br />

o Movie Title<br />

o Book Title<br />

o Song Title<br />

o Color<br />

o Number<br />

o Letter of the alphabet<br />

o Destination<br />

o Bible Story<br />

o Famous quote<br />

o Bible Verse<br />

o Book of the Bible<br />

o Type of fruit<br />

o Personal feature or attribute<br />

o Comic book superhero<br />

Once all 10 questions are complete have everyone place the cards on<br />

a table or the floor with the pictures/symbols on the backs of the<br />

cards facing up.<br />

Have everyone find their card <strong>and</strong> see how each answer personally<br />

relates to that person's life. You will have on way of really knowing if<br />

anything you wrote was correct or not, but you will see how others<br />

were correct about different aspects of your life since they asked God<br />

for the answers, even though they did not know who they were<br />

writing for.<br />

You can also practice moving in prophecy by prophesying your day.<br />

Every morning when you wake up proclaim the events of your day,<br />

<strong>and</strong> write them down.<br />

At the end of the day look back on what you declared <strong>and</strong> ask<br />

yourself whether or not it came to pass, <strong>and</strong> circle the declaration's<br />

that did come to pass.<br />

o You may only start out being 10% correct in your declarations,<br />

but if you keep doing it <strong>and</strong> believing they will manifest you will<br />

see an increase in your accuracy form 10% to 20% then to 30%,<br />

<strong>and</strong> all the way to 100% eventually.<br />

Practice words of Knowledge. You can do this by going to a public place,<br />

such as a restaurant. Then silently ask God for a word of knowledge about<br />

this person. If you feel God is saying this person has 3 children then you<br />

319


can write it down on piece of paper (this way the person you are giving the<br />

word of knowledge to know you are not just making it up as you speak with<br />

them.) Once you have a word you can simply ask the person a general<br />

questions such as "do you have any children?" <strong>An</strong>d if they say yes, then ask<br />

them "how many children do you have?" If your word of knowledge was<br />

correct then you can show them the piece of paper that you wrote down<br />

something like "has 3 children" this will open the door to tell them about<br />

Jesus if they do not already know, or increase their passion of God if they<br />

do already know Him. This practice is often used in Power Evangelism.<br />

Team up with another person who is on a similar level in their spiritual gift<br />

as you if possible.<br />

Have both people ask God for words of knowledge for each other.<br />

Take turns telling each other what you believe God is saying.<br />

Then have the person receiving the words judge the word you gave<br />

them. Be very truthful to each other <strong>and</strong> encouraging to one another<br />

as well.<br />

Word of knowledge for healing.<br />

In a group of people ask God for words of knowledge for healing for<br />

anyone in the group who might need healing. These often come in a<br />

feeling of pain in the same area of your body.<br />

If you get a feeling of pain in your body ask if anyone is the group has<br />

pain or illness in the specific part of their body.<br />

When someone says they do, this is when you ask if you can lay<br />

h<strong>and</strong>s on them <strong>and</strong> pray for their healing. If more than one person<br />

says they have pain in that specific area then pray form all of them.<br />

Prophesy as a group.<br />

<strong>As</strong> a group decide on who, or what you are going to prophecy over.<br />

This can be a person, group of people such as a team or committee,<br />

or a location such as a night club, hospital, city, state, or country.<br />

Have someone form the group act as a recorder <strong>and</strong> write down all<br />

the prophecies or record them with a voice recorder if needed.<br />

Have each person take turns giving their prophecy. St<strong>and</strong> in a line to<br />

avoid confusion if needed.<br />

After all the prophecies are given ask the person who was receiving<br />

the prophetic words to judge them, <strong>and</strong> give feedback on them.<br />

320


Theories<br />

These are just my personal thoughts, take them with a grain of salt.<br />

Triune Beings - I believe we are at the very least we are triune beings with<br />

a Body, Soul, & Spirit.<br />

We need to think of ourselves primarily as a Spirit-Being then as a Soul, or<br />

Physical Being.<br />

I believe if you try <strong>and</strong> locate where your Soul resides inside of you it is<br />

the Mind.<br />

If you close your eyes <strong>and</strong> try to sense where your inner being is,<br />

you will not sense it in the h<strong>and</strong>, in the foot, in your waist, in your<br />

chest, or anywhere except for in your Mind somewhere in the lower<br />

forehead behind, & in-between the eyes.<br />

I believe Hindu's were on to something when they speak of<br />

the 3rd Eye, even though they untimely got their faith wrong.<br />

I believe that you can literally look into someone Soul when<br />

you look straight into their eyes <strong>and</strong> they in return look<br />

straight into your eyes, specifically the iris. The eye<br />

themselves actually stem directly off of the Brain itself. The<br />

Brain is known as the housing unit for the Mind. The Eyes are<br />

windows to one's Soul.<br />

I believe that we are Spirit-beings <strong>and</strong> we each have a spirit. This is<br />

separate from our Souls. The Word of divides between soul <strong>and</strong> spirit<br />

(Hebrews 4:12). We each have our own spirit <strong>and</strong> we can has have the<br />

Holy Spirit dwelling within us when we accept Him.<br />

I do not know for sure where our spirit resides in us, but I do believe<br />

the Holy Spirit dwells within our core, or our gut. If you have been,<br />

or ask people who have been baptized in the Holy Spirit they almost<br />

always says they could feel something like a fire inside their gut. So<br />

I believe that if our spirit is located in one area of our body that it is<br />

most likely there in our gut along with the Holy Spirit.<br />

I believe when we speak we should speak into a person, or creature,<br />

<strong>and</strong> not at them like we unknowingly tend to do. Not only speaking<br />

into a person, but since we are actually a spirit who has a body (<strong>and</strong><br />

not the other way around, a body who has a spirit), we should speak<br />

into a person's spirit. I have noticed myself when I coconsciously<br />

switch to speaking to a person's flesh to speaking to their spirit<br />

there is some kind of a connection made? Perhaps a spiritual<br />

connection, or soul-tie? (1 Samuel 18:1)<br />

The concept of speaking into someone's spirit is similar to a<br />

martial artist who is going to karate chop a stack of boards<br />

stacked onto on two block. When they do they visualize<br />

themselves hitting through the boards to a point behind them<br />

(the spirit), <strong>and</strong> not hitting the boards on their surface area<br />

(the flesh).<br />

I believe there is something significant, something powerful, about having<br />

a physical body, but I'm not sure exactly what? We were created in God's<br />

image similar to the angels, but for whatever reason they were not given<br />

a physical body.<br />

A Lost Power - I believe that we are created to be co-creators with Christ.<br />

I also believe that Satan lost this privilege when he rebelled against God.<br />

Now all he can do is to pervert or manipulate creation.<br />

I believe Satan has taken gifts of prophecy <strong>and</strong> twisted it into<br />

something not of God, but mixing a partial truth with partial lies. I<br />

believe this is how <strong>and</strong> why we now have false religions, cults,<br />

perversions of true prophecy, <strong>and</strong> things like Psychics, Fortune<br />

tellers, New-Age, Humanism, & other things like this. This causes<br />

fear in many Christian who avoid anything that appears to be<br />

related to these things in any way, even if they are truly from God,<br />

like Prophecy, but we should not be afraid of prophecy. We do<br />

need to judge prophecy <strong>and</strong> be discerning however.<br />

Authority - I believe when we become sons <strong>and</strong> daughters of God, it is as<br />

if we are sons <strong>and</strong> daughter to a King <strong>and</strong> anything we declare in the Kings<br />

domain, or the kingdom we have the authority of the King to declare, <strong>and</strong><br />

the King will not reject this order as long as it's something in line with His<br />

own will too. Like healing someone.<br />

I believe there is a legal system that exists in the spiritual realm similar to<br />

the legal system that exists in the physical realm. The Heavens belong to<br />

God, but the Earth belongs to the sons of men. Because God has given<br />

the Earth to us. It is ours <strong>and</strong> even though He could intervene He will not<br />

interfere unless we give Him permission <strong>and</strong> ask for Him too.<br />

322


May your kingdom come, on Earth as it is in Heaven (Matthew<br />

6:10).<br />

I believe much of this authority we can exercise through prayer.<br />

When praying always pray for things in the affirmative. ("Yeshua I<br />

pray that this personal will be healed" instead of saying "Yeshua I<br />

pray that this person will not die from cancer")<br />

When we speak negative words like not die from cancer our<br />

brain has to first realize what the positive is of that word die =<br />

live, then the brain has to negate that negative "that person<br />

will not-not live.” It is much better to speak only in positives<br />

<strong>and</strong> affirmatives, so the mind never even thinks about the<br />

negative to begin with.<br />

Instead of telling a child not to run out in the street, tell them<br />

to stay in the yard. Taking a page form reverse physiology.<br />

Because what the mind first hears is run out into the street<br />

then it needs to negate this to underst<strong>and</strong> the parents<br />

intended meaning.<br />

While praying in the affirmative start to visualize what you are<br />

praying for actually materializing or happening. Visualize the<br />

person you are praying for dancing around full of life!<br />

Some of the best professional athletes do this before<br />

for a meet or game. They will visualize themselves<br />

winning a race, hitting a homerun, scoring a goal. Not<br />

only will they visualize it, but they will speak it out, or<br />

profess it out loud (they will unknowingly will<br />

prophesy). This is what I like to call Positive<br />

Reinforcement! I believe God Himself did this when He<br />

had all of creation in His imagination, before he spoke it<br />

into existence.<br />

When your praying believe it will come to pass or already has.<br />

You can cause your prayer to become more effective by<br />

getting others to come into agreement with you for what you<br />

are praying for (Matthew 18:19-20). Believing, visualizing, &<br />

declaring, all with emotion.<br />

This is similar to when you have a dream or a goal you<br />

want to accomplish. It is much easier to accomplish if<br />

you actually believe in yourself. How much more if not<br />

only you, but others also believe in. They really believe<br />

you can do it, that it will work out great for you!<br />

323


Also when praying your prayer will become more powerful<br />

when you invoke the names of God. Call Him JEHOVAH-JIREH<br />

when asking for provision, or JEHOVAH-RAPHA when asking<br />

for healing, or YAHWEH when asking for salvation.<br />

There is also something powerful about praying in<br />

Hebrew too, but I'm not sure what exactly what it is<br />

yet?<br />

Power of Emotions - I believe in order to prophesy greater things we need<br />

to utilize our emotions when we prophesy. Spiritual gifts as well as most,<br />

if not all, things in the spirit realm feed off of emotions, good or bad.<br />

I believe that Love is literally the greatest emotion of all. It<br />

encompasses all other emotions, joy, sadness, anger… God is Love.<br />

To love is to care about someone or something even more than<br />

you care about yourself. Therefore if you knew who or what<br />

you really loved was going to die <strong>and</strong> you could to something<br />

to stop it even if it meant you would lose everything even<br />

your very life, you would still do it anyway because what you<br />

love is ultimately more important to you then your life. If<br />

your chances where 1:1,000,000 of keeping that someone you<br />

love from dying, I believe you would still take that chance<br />

knowing that losing what you love, even if you kept<br />

everything else, would be a greater loss. <strong>An</strong>d a greater lose<br />

would cause more pain than a lesser lose, so it would be<br />

worth the risk. Even if you die trying to save the one you love<br />

from dying that would be better than living without them.<br />

Similar to when they say Jesus loves you, since he<br />

actually did die for us (John 3:16), how great would is a<br />

Love be to die for every person, past, present, & future?<br />

False or Inaccurate? - With New Testament Prophecy there is a margin of<br />

error, I believe we can see it even in Acts 21:11 were the New Testament<br />

Prophet Agabus received a prophecy from God, but ultimately gave an<br />

inaccurate interpretation. "In this way the Jews at Jerusalem will bind the<br />

324


man who owns this belt <strong>and</strong> deliver him into the h<strong>and</strong>s of the Gentiles." I<br />

believe Agabus saw in a vision Paul enraging the Jews then being bound in<br />

the h<strong>and</strong>s of the Gentiles while in Jerusalem. However Paul was actually<br />

bound by the Gentiles who delivered him from the Jews (Acts 21:27-36).<br />

Just because a modern day prophet gives a prophecy that doesn't<br />

not come 100% true, does not make them a false prophet, just<br />

inaccurate. Accuracy will improve with practice.<br />

Creative Power - Even scientist have been saying that there are element<br />

smaller than the atom, <strong>and</strong> they everything even atoms give off a<br />

frequency. They say the smallest elements are what they call "Strings."<br />

They are like very small, short lines that vibrate. Aren't these Strings<br />

literally frequencies similar to something like a sound wave, which is also<br />

a frequency? YHVH Himself created everything just by speaking it into<br />

existence with the sound of His voice. I believe this is how even people of<br />

false religions can perform miracles, but their ultimate end will be<br />

different if they do not find the one true God.<br />

These "Strings" from which all things are made, <strong>and</strong> which in its<br />

original state permeates, penetrates, <strong>and</strong> fills the interspaces of the<br />

universe.<br />

A thought in this substance produces the thing that is imaged by the<br />

thought.<br />

Man can form things in his thought, <strong>and</strong> by impressing his thought<br />

upon the formless substance can cause the thing he thinks about to<br />

be created. <strong>An</strong>d all that is required is:<br />

Pure Motives/Love<br />

Affirmative<br />

Remove all Fear of Future, Rejection, Failure all comes down to<br />

trust (strong conviction of faith)<br />

Fantasy - To increase intimacy with God, it is good to not just focus on<br />

Him while you're praying but to also:<br />

Visualize Him throughout your Day.<br />

Imagine Him st<strong>and</strong>ing/sitting/walking beside you.<br />

325


Talk as if He is literally right there in the room with you, <strong>and</strong> tell Him<br />

everything. Even things you would never tell anyone else.<br />

When you pray, sign, dance, or worship, close your eyes <strong>and</strong><br />

visualize yourself st<strong>and</strong>ing in front of Him doing that act directly to<br />

<strong>and</strong> for Him.<br />

Fantasize about Him in the same way you use to fantasize about<br />

your first crush when you were young, (or the way you loved your<br />

parents as a small child, or the way you cared for your best friend).<br />

How you fantasized marrying that person, <strong>and</strong> always being<br />

with them for the rest of your life.<br />

Sitting very close to them, or snuggling with them.<br />

Embracing them.<br />

What did you say or whisper to them?<br />

What would you desire to do for them or give that person?<br />

How would you show them your affection?<br />

Belief is stronger than your Desire - What you really believe come<br />

naturally, <strong>and</strong> it is extremely difficult for others to changes these beliefs.<br />

Many beliefs are so strong that the person holding the belief is willing to<br />

die for what they believe in. You can believe that others will find out your<br />

sins <strong>and</strong> desire to be cleaned of them or that others will not find out your<br />

sins, but belief is stronger <strong>and</strong> will always win out.<br />

However, if your beliefs <strong>and</strong> desires are in agreement with each<br />

other then, the desire will add to, <strong>and</strong> strengthen your current<br />

belief. Such as if you believe you are a good person, <strong>and</strong> desire to<br />

be an even be a righteous person, it will make you more so.<br />

If you believe in something so strongly it will become a reality to<br />

you. For example if you believe you can play the piano even though<br />

you've never played before, <strong>and</strong> that belief is so intense that when<br />

you go to sit down at a piano you will be able to play it, or at the<br />

very least learn far more quickly than the average person who has<br />

never touched a piano <strong>and</strong> still believes they cannot play it.<br />

There are limits to what we can obtain as if we are in some sort of<br />

container, that container being God Himself. Since God is all in all,<br />

both eternal <strong>and</strong> infinite we could never exceed or even be equal to<br />

God in any way. Such as the Humanist faith believes or in the battle<br />

326


of Armageddon people will believe they can defeat God, but they<br />

will ultimately be defeated.<br />

Sarcastic (or joking) Prophecy - If you profess something in a sarcastic<br />

manner, where you say the opposite of what you really believe to happen,<br />

the spoken word will usually over power the belief.<br />

For example if you say I just know you are going to do great today,<br />

but already believe they will not, they will actually end up doing<br />

what you have spoken.<br />

If you sarcastically profess over yourself thought you will be able to<br />

control the outcome more, because we have a free will, but<br />

speaking it out will cause a change if you will attempt to see it<br />

through.<br />

If you sarcastically profess this but only desire it not be to true, you<br />

have spoken it in belief, <strong>and</strong> therefore is even more likely to happen<br />

as you spoke because belief is stronger than desire<br />

If you profess something, but also desire it to be, <strong>and</strong> believe it<br />

to be so, it is not sarcastic prophecy.<br />

Sound is a bridge - between the Physical <strong>and</strong> Spiritual Dimensions, the<br />

Seen <strong>and</strong> the Unseen.<br />

Elements that are less tangible may also be a bridge to the Spiritual<br />

Dimensions, such as:<br />

Sound<br />

Fire<br />

Wind<br />

Three Fulfillments of Prophecy - I believe there are 3 fulfillments to every<br />

prophecy.<br />

Revelation<br />

Yahweh - this reveals God the Father<br />

327


Yahshuah - this reveals Jesus the Messiah<br />

Holy Spirit - the reveals the Holy Spirit<br />

Interpretation<br />

Symbolically - where a prophecy is a riddle or parable<br />

referencing something similar in one way or another<br />

Literally - the prophecy means exactly what it says, no matter<br />

how unbelievable the prophecy is.<br />

Universally - Prophecy will may speak of something or someone<br />

specific, but also speaks to everyone in one form or another.<br />

Application (or Activation if it's the first time)<br />

Past - where a prophecy can be applied to a past event<br />

Present - Prophecy as it is happening now<br />

Future - applying prophecy to what has is coming according to<br />

the prophecy.<br />

Manifestations - Many times when there is an event that happens in the<br />

natural that is ungodly (weather it is actively opposed by the righteous,<br />

either in prayer or what not, I'm not I'm not sure), for example a gay-pride<br />

march, that will at the same time or very shortly thereafter (usually<br />

always with in that same day if not that same hour) manifest itself in the<br />

supernatural warfare, <strong>and</strong> in a natural disasters as the two kingdoms<br />

colliding, both good <strong>and</strong> evil. This is symbolic of:<br />

Strong Winds - cold <strong>and</strong> hot air coming together<br />

Lightning Strikes - as positive <strong>and</strong> negative charged atmospheres<br />

connect with each another.<br />

Tornados & Hurricanes - High <strong>and</strong> Low pressure air fronts hitting<br />

one another<br />

Earthquakes - as two tectonic plates shift against each other in<br />

opposing directions.<br />

Inversion - In secular society people tend to look at certain sayings as<br />

negative, but prophetic people need to be encouraging <strong>and</strong> turn these<br />

328


negatives into positive says. These are a few for example that can easily<br />

be turn around into something good, by changing your prospective to<br />

something good.<br />

Being full of it (crap)<br />

Being full of it (the Holy Spirit)<br />

Being on Fire (burning)<br />

Being on Fire (for God)<br />

Being Hungry (Starving)<br />

Being Hungry (for the things of God)<br />

The Kicker - When you receive a prophetic word from God, He will a lot of<br />

the time throw in something out of the blue at you. For example you may<br />

be receiving a prophetic word about your family then all of the sudden He<br />

will just throw in something about a financial blessing or a new ability you<br />

will receive just as the prophecy ends. This is kind of like the cherry on<br />

top, or a little extra, just because God loves to bless us, even with things<br />

we weren't asking for or didn't really care if we had them or not. A good<br />

example of this is when Solomon was asking for the Spirit of Discernment<br />

to govern God's people, <strong>and</strong> God gave that to him, but then He also gave<br />

him the wealth, long life, <strong>and</strong> the Spirit of Wisdom. 1 Kings 3:5-15<br />

329


Unknowns<br />

These are some of the aspects of the Prophetic <strong>Art</strong>s that are not yet fully<br />

known, or understood at all. Many of these topics have been used by the<br />

enemy, even though they were of created by God. The enemy cannot create<br />

only manipulate <strong>and</strong> pervert what God has already created. Many Supernaturalist<br />

will realize these as aspects of Classic Metaphysics (Spiritual<br />

<strong>Science</strong>), & their application in the Spirit Realms.<br />

Levitation (<strong>As</strong>cending, Descending, Hovering.)<br />

Arial Flying (Soaring or moving about in the air somewhat like a bird.)<br />

Remote Viewing (Witnessing what is happening somewhere far away from<br />

your current location, without physically being able to.)<br />

Teleportation (Space warps used in quantum physics, or being instantly<br />

transported to a distant location in the first 3 dimensions of reality. Being<br />

caught up into the 3rd Heaven.)<br />

Time Travel (Moving outside of the Present, such as to the Past or the<br />

Future.)<br />

Alternate & Multi-Dimensional Passage (Gateways for moving in <strong>and</strong> out<br />

of the Physical <strong>and</strong> Spirit Realms. Can also include what is known as<br />

becoming Invisible.)<br />

Poly-Presents (Literally being in more than one place at once.)<br />

NDE's (Near Death Experiences, when your Spirit leaves your body<br />

temporally if you die, but are later brought back to life.)<br />

OBE's (Out of Body Experiences, such as being caught up in the Spirit or<br />

into the Heavens without your physical body, without physically dying.)<br />

Resurrections (Being clinically death, yet coming back to life in the<br />

physical realm.)<br />

Raptures (Permanently entering the Spirit realm without ever having to<br />

die.)<br />

Physical Transformation (Taking the form of something else, such as an<br />

object, animal, or angel.)<br />

Telecommunication (Reading <strong>and</strong> speaking to someone's mind through<br />

your mind or thoughts, <strong>and</strong> them reading <strong>and</strong> speaking back to you. Either<br />

humans, animals, angels, …)<br />

Telekinesis (Moving physical matter with your thoughts <strong>and</strong> comm<strong>and</strong>s.)<br />

Psychokinesis (Manipulate elements with your mind or thoughts, such as<br />

walking on water or through walls.)<br />

Invincibility (When nothing is able to cause harm to you, such as st<strong>and</strong>ing<br />

in the midst of fire, boiling oil, or anything lethal.)<br />

330


Unknown Unknowns (Things we do not yet know we can do simply<br />

because we are unaware they exist.)<br />

Other yet unanswered personal Questions/Thoughts:<br />

What are thoughts? Are they energy?<br />

When God gives you a vision can you "co-create" with the vision as it is<br />

happening, as long as doesn't go against His will? Or is a Devine vision<br />

always sovereign?<br />

Similar to lucid dreams that way to can affect <strong>and</strong> change these<br />

dreams as they are happening?<br />

331


Obtainment<br />

Knowing about the Gifts of the Spirit is one thing, but to actually obtain<br />

them, is another. This isn't just head knowledge (Theology), but an<br />

Initiate personal experience of God (Mysticism). Even the <strong>An</strong>cient<br />

Prophets of the Bible were considered Mystics. This is a Love relationship<br />

with Yahweh, 1 Corinthians 13:2. People can have the Gifts without this<br />

relationship (even though it is not recommended), because God gives<br />

them freely to who He will, Ephesians 4:11.<br />

There are several things you can do to obtain the Gifts of the Spirit. The<br />

first thing is to actually apply what you have already learned <strong>and</strong> put in to<br />

continual practice. Every time there is an open opportunity to use your<br />

new ability take advantage of it. If you are noticing no opportunities are<br />

arising then make one happen. Say you want to practice healing people,<br />

but never seem to run into anyone who needs healing. Then go hang out at<br />

the local hospital in their waiting room, or start volunteering at a homeless<br />

shelter. I usually like to tell people I'm doing a study on the power of<br />

prayer to note any observable positive effects on people. People tend to<br />

be not so weirded out by methods like this, but most hurting people want<br />

to be prayed for, even non-believers, <strong>and</strong> the more they hurt more<br />

desperate they become <strong>and</strong> therefore are more open to prayer. Do not get<br />

discouraged if you fail a few times, or several times while practicing, this is<br />

usually just the enemy trying to stop you from advancing the Kingdom, but<br />

if you do not give in you will always win. Just keep trying!<br />

If you already operate in one of the Gifts of the Spirit, do not believe you<br />

are only limited to that one gift, by doing this you are limiting God, <strong>and</strong> if<br />

you've ever given a gift to someone else that was not receive at all or just<br />

not like very much you know how it hurts to feel that rejection. The<br />

following points are very general <strong>and</strong> can be applied to just about anything<br />

in your life you wish to obtain. For example a degree, a new job, a pay<br />

raise, a language, the ability to play an instrument, anything really.<br />

These are some suggested steps that will help you obtain your goals:<br />

<strong>As</strong>k God to Give these Gifts to You, James 4:2.<br />

What is your Passion, your Vision, your Focus.<br />

Set your goals & Write them down.<br />

332


Make daily declarations (this is people are doing when they say the phrase<br />

"prophetically speaking…") about your goals.<br />

Visualize your goals in their process & completion.<br />

God will out do your goals, <strong>and</strong> He wants you to dream BIG.<br />

Make a detailed plans (strategy) to attain our goals.<br />

Brain storm.<br />

Work with Experts <strong>and</strong> people with similar goals.<br />

Developing Habits <strong>and</strong> a Spirit-filled Lifestyle:<br />

Because it is almost too much to remember all these principles <strong>and</strong><br />

methods that habits have to be formed where these principles are acted<br />

out even without having to think about them at all.<br />

Commit to at least 30 Days – This is about the time you need to make a<br />

habit automatic. Once you can make it through the initial conditioning<br />

phase, it is much easier to sustain.<br />

Do it Daily – Consistency is critical if you want to make it habitual. If you<br />

want to start prophesying over people, ask a different person everyday if<br />

you can pray form them, for your first thirty days. Only going a doing this a<br />

few times a week makes it harder to form the habit.<br />

Start Simple – Don’t try to completely change your life in one day. It is easy<br />

to get over-motivated <strong>and</strong> take on too much. Try to prophesy over people<br />

in your alone time if you like, then build on that.<br />

Remind Yourself – Around two weeks into your commitment it can be easy<br />

to forget. Place reminders to execute your habit each day or you might miss<br />

a few days. If you miss time it defeats the purpose of setting a habit to<br />

begin with. Send yourself daily reminders, mark your calendar, tie a string<br />

on your finger as a reminder, write yourself note, <strong>and</strong> To-Do Lists.<br />

Stay Consistent – The more consistent you are consistent the easier it will<br />

be to become habitual. If you want to start making prophetic declarations,<br />

try making these declaration at the same time every day. When cues like<br />

time of day, place <strong>and</strong> circumstances are the same in each case it becomes<br />

habit.<br />

Get a Buddy – A spouse or a friend who will go along with you <strong>and</strong> keep<br />

you motivated if you feel like quitting. Someone who will encourage you.<br />

Form a Trigger – A trigger is a ritual you use right before executing your<br />

habit. If you want to proclaim the greatness in people, this could be<br />

333


something like if you see someone sad or depressed, or if you want to heal<br />

people this could be if you notice someone in pain.<br />

Replace Lost Needs - If you are giving up something in your habit, make<br />

sure you are adequately replacing any needs you’ve lost. If watching<br />

television gave you a way to relax, you could take up meditating on God,<br />

Listening to soaking music, or reading as a way to replace that same need.<br />

Be Imperfect – Don't be discouraged if you're not successful immediately.<br />

The people who struggle the most at something to begin with often times<br />

end up being the best at it.<br />

Use “But” – This great technique for changing bad thought patterns. When<br />

you start to think negative thoughts, use the word “but” to invert it. “I’m<br />

not good at this, but, if I work at it I will be the best at it one day.”<br />

Remove Temptation - Restructure your environment so it won’t tempt you<br />

in the first thirty days. Remove distraction <strong>and</strong> replace them with anything<br />

to encourage you.<br />

<strong>As</strong>sociate With Role Models - Spend more time with people who model the<br />

habits you want to mirror. You become what you spend time around.<br />

Run it as an Experiment - Withhold judgment, experiments can’t fail, they<br />

just have different results so it will give you a different perspective on<br />

changing your habit.<br />

Write it down – This is a way to solidify your commitment to form this new<br />

habit.<br />

Know the Benefits - Familiarize yourself with the benefits of making this<br />

change. Get books that show the benefits of prophesying or whatever<br />

habit you want to form. Notice any changes in people's lives after<br />

prophesying to them.<br />

Know the Pain – You should also be aware of the consequences. Exposing<br />

yourself to realistic information about the downsides of not making a<br />

change will give you added motivation. "Where would that person be if you<br />

hadn't encouraged them on that day?"<br />

Continuation - Once the month is up <strong>and</strong> you are successful throughout the<br />

whole month just continue doing your new habit.<br />

Set Goals to give you something to achieve <strong>and</strong> strive for:<br />

Goal is like a written out Action Statement for a set period of time. Goals<br />

are not m<strong>and</strong>atory, do not feel bad if you don't end up completing all of<br />

your goal in its timeframe just include the remaining steps in your next set<br />

of goals.<br />

334


Start your goal or action statement with a verb (Increase, Decrease, Move,<br />

Dominate, Empower, Inspire...)<br />

Goals are S.M.A.R.T.<br />

Specific - What exactly needs to be done for each step in order to reach the<br />

ultimate goal?<br />

Measurable - How can I tell steps are being completed?<br />

Action - What will I need to do to accomplish this goal?<br />

Responsible - who is goal benefitting?<br />

Timeframe - When do I expect to be able to complete this goal?<br />

Example: Increase someone's joy by 10% by the end of this year. - Tom<br />

Aim High - Set at least a minimum level goal of what you wish to achieve,<br />

<strong>and</strong> an upper limit or an indefinite upper limit. For example: A 10% -<br />

200%(+) increase in time spent in worship.<br />

Be sure you always have a mentally visual point in the distance to move<br />

towards in your goal (3 people, 4 people, 5 people, 6 people,… blessed by<br />

you per day). If you don't reach it completely you will still out do yourself,<br />

than if you had set a lower goal that you know you can achieve.<br />

Break down your goal(s) into Parts or Categories.<br />

Then be specific in the processes you use to break down each of these<br />

categories themselves.<br />

Brainstorm about all the different ways you or your team can do to achieve<br />

each step on the way to the ultimate goal.<br />

Encourage yourself <strong>and</strong> others as they progress in their goals whether it's<br />

behind of schedule or ahead. Reward yourself or others as they finish their<br />

goal. Reaching the goal in <strong>and</strong> of itself, a reward too.<br />

Once you have obtained these gifts it is right that you should pass them on<br />

to others in the faith.<br />

335


Apostolic<br />

Matthew 10:8 freely you have received, freely give. Once someone<br />

has learned something they are to pass on what they have learned to<br />

others. This is known as Fathering, raising others up like a father<br />

raise up a son in what they have learned, so that they can do well in<br />

the "family" business.<br />

Paul said in 1 Corinthians 4:14-16 that he was a spiritual father to<br />

others. We are responsible to pass on what we've learned making it<br />

easier for those who are just starting, no matter what age they start<br />

at.<br />

Apostolic Prophets/Seers are those who have mastered their gift, if<br />

such a thing is possible. Now they must pass it on like Jesus to the 70<br />

disciples, Moses to Joshua, Elijah to Elisha.<br />

Of the 70 Disciples, only 12 became Apostles themselves, of<br />

these 12 Peter, James, <strong>and</strong> John because Close Friends, <strong>and</strong> of<br />

these 3 John was known as the Beloved, <strong>and</strong> Jesus revealed the<br />

most to him.<br />

Apostolic Prophets <strong>and</strong> Seers who are Prophets to the Prophets, they<br />

are their mentors.<br />

336
