PRAY AND PROPHESY
Job 22:27-28 Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows. Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways. (KJV)
Two important things you must do for light to shine on your way are praying and prophesying. You make your prayer unto God and He answers you. You also decree a thing and it is established unto you. Doing these two is very important in the life of a Christian.
Praying and prophesying should go together. When you pray to God about something most often He inspire His Word in you to speak forth. Speaking forth those words is prophecy; by those words you decree a thing and it is established unto you. You are the first person to prophesy God's word concerning your life. So when you pray prophesy; speak forth words of power.
One of the works of the Holy Spirit in your life is to enable and inspire you to prophesy. The Holy Spirit would need you to prophesy concerning you, He can't do it without you.
In Joel 2:28 the Bible says "And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.
Having received the Holy Spirit if you listen to Him He will inspire and enable you to prophesy, that is, to speak words of power and He Himself will ensure that those words come to pass. When you pray what you say to God matters but what matters most is what He says to you. When you say "this is what the Lord says..." That is prophecy, and that's what brings changes.
Don't just pray and go away, as though you just reported an issue or a case to God. No! When you pray listen to hear Him, and when you hear speak forth those words; they convey power and energy, bringing into reality what you desire.
Most importantly pray in tongues, it conditions your spirit to hear God's voice. When you pray in tongues your spirit actively prays.
1 Corinthians 14:14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful.
PRAYER
Thank You Father for given me your Spirit to function by. As I pray your Spirit gives me the right words to communicate with you, and inspire in me the Word for the now to prophesy, as I prophesy, speaking forth words of power may the power of your Name bring them all to pass, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
