Gary and Jane unpack this topic and share many practical tools and examples. This episode is brilliant at giving you strategies so you can help people feel seen and heard by God.

Episode Notes:

First Principle: Thank God.

  • Psalm 100:4
  • Focus off myself, on to God.

Second Principle: Have Prompts.

  • Gary uses a notebook.
  • Jane ‘tests’ Gary.
  • Be careful not to ‘read’ a person’s face.
  • Does something stand out eg bright red shoes?
  • Prophesy using their name.
  • Reminder re first thought principle.
  • Look for identity words.
  • Identity precedes destiny.

Third Principle: Preparation.

  • Spiritual preparation – nurture intimacy with God.
  • Psychological and physical preparation eg not tired or hungry.

Fourth Principle: Hold Your Peace.

  • Our emotional state can impact our ability to hear God.
  • Philippians 4:6-7.
  • 2 Corinthians 10:5. Take captive every thought.
  • Be honest if absolutely nothing. Get back to the person.

 

Prophetic Activation:

Turn your heart and thoughts to Father God and ask Him, “If I was a tree, what sort of tree would I be and why?”.  Flesh it out – fruit, where planted, how big, purpose, who it shelters, etc.
