  • sermon seeds in this prayer about the prophetic flow

    Prayer. 10 17 09:     Help us to exercise the gift we have according to the faith we have right now.  Help us to keep exercising our faith so that our faith will grow.

    Rom 12:6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy , let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;   KJV

    Lord, help us to discover the gifts we have been given by You and to USE THEM!

    1 Cor 12:9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy ; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.   KJV

    Help us to esteem  the fruit of the Spirit ABOVE the gifts: Cor 13:2 And though I have the gift of prophecy , and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. KJV

    1 Cor 14: 39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy , and forbid not to speak with tongues.

    Help us to covet to prophesy. We are sorry for our apathy concerning “diligently seeking “ You in this area! Help us to see that to prophesy is to love the body of Christ!  Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.KJV

      Covet: Have ZEAL:  –noun fervor for a person, cause, or object; eager desire or endeavor; enthusiastic diligence; ardor.

    Synonyms:intensity, passion; Antonyms:apathy.   Zeal n.  Enthusiastic devotion to a cause, ideal, or goal and tireless diligence in its furtherance

    1 Cor 14:1 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy .2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.

    4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.5 I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.

    Pour out Your Spirit  on ALL of River of Life– from the youngest to the oldest!

    Acts 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy , and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:fgnx18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy :KJV

    Acts 21:8 And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him.9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy .KJV

    Help us to be humble and easily entreated and to never pretend we can’t “miss it”.

    1 Cor 13:9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.KJV

    Help us to learn Your protocol in exercising the gifts of Your Spirit:

    1 Cor 14:31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints……………….

    40 Let all things be done decently and in order.
