Embracing Prophetic Destiny: Urgency and Stewardship

### Quotes for Outreach

1. "Because you come through the fire a changed individual. If I'd become offended and stayed offended, I would have shut myself out of my destiny right away. You know, Samuel's words never fell to the ground. The words God gave him. He went through some pretty hard things, didn't he, as a prophet, if you think about the stories. So my heart today is to encourage you to think about what fire you've been in. What has, it may be a physical fire. What has hurt you? Who has hurt you? What are you fighting maybe as a health condition? What disappointments have you been nursing to the point of where it's not healthy? do you want to do with your life?"

2. "As I was praying about a word for you today, Rick and I were driving just in the area to some scenic country roads. And I saw the most beautiful pasture with round hay bales. All harvested, beautifully shaped, set out all across the pasture. And I just thought one thing. I thought, harvest. Harvest. This is harvest. And immediately the Lord brought to mind John 4, 34. And I want to tell you that I think the most important thing you can do right now is first of all realize it's later than you think. It's later than you think. You think you have your whole life, and you do, but you don't know how long your life is." [01:19:21] (65 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


3. "Do you not say, there are still four months, and then comes the harvest? We always think we have more time, don't we? Behold, I say, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already ripe for harvest. So, Encounter Church, I believe the word God wanted you to hear today. Is that it is later than you think, and that the harvest is ripe for putting in the sickle and pulling out the harvest." [01:21:05] (44 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


4. "You can't do that if you're so consumed with your pain that you can't see it, taste it, and work with it, right? So, I'm asking the Lord to highlight for you anything he wants to just take off your shoulders. And he says, come, my daughter, come, my son. I have plans for you. It's later than you think. And I want you to flow in my prophetic blessing. I feel like that's exactly the Lord's heart. Do you like that? Do you want that?"

5. "Believe God to do his part and you do yours. Stay faithful. Keep praying. Make yourself accountable to another individual who knows you. Begin praying about this. Who would it be? Maybe they're in this church. Maybe they're someone you've known forever. Maybe it's an old friend. Maybe it's an old buddy of yours. But in the coaching I do, and I'm sure you've had this same thing, Ron. If men and women don't have accountability worked into their lives before the big success hits, it almost never works."

### Quotes for Members

1. "When the prophetic started flowing in our little church, like I told you before, I had notes everywhere. Writing down on church bulletins what was going on, highlighting. I found entire objects glued in my Bible, almost. Just a piece of jewelry or something that meant something to me, along with a verse. I was like, God, you're serious. You really have things for us to unpack. And so, out of it all, I actually developed a process that I'm going to show you how it works real quick."

2. "So, it's helpful to say, God, what are you breathing on right now? And so, we would put that here in this bottom block. We each did it. And then, in the second block up, we answered another question. Well, what evidence is there that this is active right now? It's hard to see your own evidence sometimes of a prophetic word. So, if you have a friend or confidant that knows you, they can speak into you. And then, the third one... The third one up here is where we charted what we were going to do next."

3. "God's got you. You're right on time. He's helping all of us right now by teaching us to acknowledge the prophetic and walk in it responsibly as a steward. That was great. And so, I'm going to give you the four keys if you're anxious to try this on your own. And want to know four things you could do. Here they are. Number one, act like Moses. Be willing to turn aside and see what the Lord is doing. In Exodus 3, 1 through 6, Moses said, I must turn aside to see this marvelous sight. And when the Lord saw him turn aside, you know what happened? The Lord called his name. Isn't that beautiful?" [01:26:21] (51 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


4. "What if he hadn't turned? Turned aside. What if he hadn't come over to explore the burning bush? So, have an attitude that says, you know what? I'm watching for God. And just get you a new little spiral notebook. I prefer literally writing this to electronic, although electronic is good. But there are studies that say what you literally write on paper go through your brain in a different way and are more memorable to you. So, pick away. But you want to turn aside to see what the Lord is saying. And that means to just ask the question and to pause, to listen. And if you need to turn aside, change your schedule, do something different in order to hear what the Lord is saying, be willing to do that."

5. "Mary said this, or the Luke 1 45. It says this about Mary, blessed is the one who believed there would be a fulfillment. That's what she said when the angel told her she was going to have a baby. And she's like, how can this be? And after hearing, she asked her questions. That's a good model. Ask God your questions. But then at the end of the day, be willing to do your part and believe for fulfillment. Key four, watch for the fulfillment. Do not neglect the gift you have. It's given you. By prophecy and the laying on of hands from 1 Timothy 4 14." [01:30:31] (39 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
