Why is it that Christians are sometimes gullible? Why is it that we listen to some of these people on TV or who write books, and because it's public published, we think that it's authoritative, and we need our discernment to say, you know what? There's nothing wrong with me being skeptical about that. So I really don't believe that Jesus came back in 1992 or in 1988. Otherwise, we're all in trouble.

So does this apply to us? Let me give you a few key observations from that little text. Peter is saying that the last days has already begun. Alright? We are now living in the last days. And prophecy, whatever all it includes, is no longer restricted to a few chosen prophets, some special high priest or whatever it is, like we see in the old testament. Nor is prophecy related or restricted to certain classes of people. [00:50:24] (29 seconds)  #ProphecyForAll Download clip

And what did the prophecy do for Paul? Did it scare him? Did he say, well, that must not be God's will for me to go to Jerusalem? No. He knew he had to go. So what was the purpose of telling him that? So that Paul would be strong in his spirit, knowing that he's going to suffer for Jesus. And he went.

So how does prophecy how does this power show up in our lives? The question is, how hungry are you? How hungry are you for the holy spirit? It is not how much knowledge you have. It's not how long you've been a Christian. It's about how willing you are to prophesy, to tell people, to encourage people, to bless people, to lift them up.

Not all words of encouragement or comfort they give to people may be a word of prophecy, but some are. And perhaps the spiritual gifts are indeed occurring among us without us even recognizing it, and that's why we should be offering praise to God for this. Encouragement is prophecy by what you can see, and prophecy is encouragement by what only God can see. [01:06:12] (25 seconds)  #EncouragementIsProphecy Download clip

Is it actually possible that some of you may have already been prophesying at times without even knowing it? Without having maybe the terminology about what you've been doing? We might tend to think that the spiritual gifts being supernatural, and they are, should show up in some mystical, glorious fashion, that is, the prophesiers will have the heebie jeebies, they'll be, you know, doing weird things on the platform. [01:01:28] (31 seconds)  #EverydayProphecy Download clip

And I asked this question, why would the holy spirit hold back the gifts that we so desperately need? So pray daily for the holy spirit to guide you and expect opportunities to either speak into people's lives or to love them somehow with the love that Jesus would show. I wonder if even acts of love are prophetic. I believe they are. [01:07:28] (23 seconds)  #LoveAsProphecy Download clip

Along with prayer and immersing yourself with scripture, get your spiritual antenna out. Have you ever had someone come to mind out of the blue, and you felt the urge to pray for them? Is that not prophetic? Of course, it is. And maybe some attempts to prophesy may not be that polished, but they're still holy spirit empowered.
