Personal Prophecy

- Understanding Its Application
 

There is something intriguing about genuine prophecy because of its supernatural insight. I define genuine prophecy as “prophecy activated by the Holy Spirit”, thus the supernatural element. There is also counterfeit prophecy that some people activate through dark spirits of divination. Today both sources have representatives speaking into the public forum. This article will address the content of genuine Holy Spirit activated prophecy and how many people make a critical mistake in its application.
 
Let me first establish a very important and fundamental fact about humanity. Every individual in this life has been given a unique ability to make choices. This power of choice can be influenced in many ways by personal background, present circumstances and the expectations a person has for the future. Power of choice is also influenced by one's value system. There are many exceptional examples of people who have risen above very negative circumstances in life because of that individuals power of choice. How then does genuine personal prophecy fit into this unique capacity of choice?
 
Genuine personal prophecy is always provisional and conditional. When a prophet or prophetess gives a word of personal prophecy, the recipient must understand that he or she can see the fulfilment of that prophetic word by accepting it and then making room for its fulfilment. The recipient could also deny its fulfilment by disregarding it or dismissing it. In other words the Holy Spirit does not overrule the God given power of choice of that individual even when He is speaking through personal prophecy.
 
The mistake often made by immature or careless recipients is to take a personal word of prophecy and presume that they have no involvement or interaction with its fulfilment. They do not position themselves in the place of seizing a promise, recognizing the opportunity and stepping through the door when it opens for them. Some take the attitude of “ if God spoke this then who am I to try to make it happen..... Let God bring it to me on a silver platter.” The end result is that they miss the provision of the Holy Spirit. Prophecy brings promise and provision but every gift needs a receptive response coupled with active participation in its fulfilment. The Holy Spirit has been sent to walk along side of us. His gift of prophecy is meant to encourage, equip and comfort us in the midst of life's journey. Personal prophecy can also be directive. It will do all of this only if we are ready to do our part.
 
Seeds of promise sown into a well tended garden will produce wonderful results. Neglect of that same garden will only produce a weed choked mess of unfulfilled disappointment. My advice is to receive words of personal prophecy and then expectantly position yourself to step through its doors of opportunities. One final word of advice. Use discretion as well by using trustworthy prophetic sources.
