My sheep hear my voice, and I know them and they follow me.
John 10:27
Our vision for the prophetic is for each believer to hear God for themselves and others.
We believe that God is speaking all the time and that He is speaking ways that His children can hear Him. He’s not playing hard to get or give us the silent treatment. God speaks through a variety of means and each of us can grow in hearing God’s voice.
Our goal in prophecy is jumpstart others’ conversations with God and to confirm or clarify what they are already hearing.
Eagerly desire the gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy.
1 Corinthians 14:1
We believe that prophecy should always be to “strengthen, encourage, & comfort” (1 Corinthians 14:3) and that when God speaks it should bear with it the fruit of the Spirit, “love, joy peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.“ (Gal. 5:22-23)
God is not the author of confusion, fear, frustration, or depression. Whenever we hear something that we think is from God either for ourselves or for others, we test it.
Does it bear the fruit of the Spirit? Does it line up with who God has revealed Himself to be in the Bible?
“Do not treat prophecies with contempt, but test them all; hold on to what is good, reject every kind of evil.” (1 Thes. 5:20-22)
