Prophecy and the Prophetic

Culture No.9 - Prophecy and the Prophetic

Life expressed from Heaven’s perspective

Prophetic people listen to God and act accordingly. They prepare for the future and become the future. There are principles we exercise as we use the gift of prophecy but in short it should always build up, cheer up and draw near (to God). If we are about bringing more of heaven to earth, we must hear heaven’s perspective—about situations and people. Part of the role of prophecy is to call out life—remembering that life and death are in the power of the tongue.
1 Corinthians 14, Romans 4:17; Ephesians 4:11; Jeremiah 1:9

Declarations

Brookside will be full of the most encouraging people.
We are prophetic people who regularly speak life, distributing the gifts and goodness of God.
We always build up, cheer up, and draw near.
We will speak life to the bones, not just tell them they are dry.

. . . . One who prophesies edifies the church. Now I wish that you all spoke in tongues, but even more that you would prophesy. . . .
1 Corinthians 14:4-5
