Prophecy

Review last meeting - remind of paga, the ease of Joel 2:28 and OT prophets’ methods:
Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Amos, Obadiah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, and Zechariah all
wrote down prophecies based on things God had SHOWN them.

Your right to prophesy:

Every believer has the potential ability to prophesy - 1 Corinthians 14:5
Given out by the Holy Spirit as He determines – 1 Corinthians 12:10-11
The Holy Spirit has imparted faith upon you – Romans 12:3-6
This faith is needed to please God – Hebrews 11:6 (my faith definition – believing that you can
do what God says you can, despite all your intellect telling you that you can’t.)
You will find all that you need at work within you – Ephesians 3:20
How do you receive this? – Matthew 11:12
Because Jesus lives inside you – John 14:20 (step into that power)
