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 />
Listen without interrupting. (Proverbs 18)<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 />

concerned with what someone Will Be.<br />
19 See a weakness as a future Strength. Questions as future Wisdom.<br />

Charisma<br />
Spiritual gifts (or Charismata) are endowments given by the Holy Spirit. These<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 />

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 />

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

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

body of believers. See Ephesians 4:11, 1 Peter 5:1-11<br />
Teaching<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 />
321
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 />
