The prophet's dictionary guide to the supernatural

to pass in their appointed (and pre-appointed) times. God’s prophets, those who revere Jesus the Logos as the spirit of prophecy, know that to say something is to happen or will be that the Creator has not written is to resort to witchcraft’s magic. 395. Divine Estate—A spiritual territory that corresponds to a sphere of earthly life and human existence over which a prophet or an apostle have control. Such a territory is a prophetic ward or apostolic sphere. Habakkuk’s watch ward mentioned in chapter 2, verse 1 of his discourse with God is a biblical example. He said after he had vented, that he would return to his ward (station) to see what the Lord would respond to him. See Habakkuk 2:1–3. Generally this constitutes a principality of sorts that the Old Testament calls the high place as mentioned in several passages. Habakkuk 3:19 is one place. Most notably 2 Samuel 22:34 and Psalm 18:33 are others. High places in the Old Testament correspond with the heavenly places or the heavenlies spoken of in the writings of the apostles. Divine estate based on this definition is also what is meant in Jude 1:6 where the writer referred to the angels who did not keep their first estate. In that context the phrase applies to territory, realm, sphere, dispensation, home, or dwelling. 396. Divine License—The word license refers to the permission granted by one in power or authority by virtue of their delegation or competence to another to engage in an activity or to exercise a certain power or right. Prophetically, divine license applies to the right to act or perform by the will of or on behalf of the Almighty. The liberties to execute supernatural details by divine approval. Matthew 21:23; Luke 20:8; Joshua 1:1–9. 397. Divine Mandate—A mandate issued by a celestial authority to a human given by way of a dream or vision as an apportionment. Generally these are issued and received by way of spiritual phenomenon. Though spiritual, such mandates are accompanied by physical signs and tokens that assure the recipient that what he or she received immaterially is sure to manifest with the exercise of the duties and tasks assigned by the Lord. The signs and tokens are short-lived or minute versions of what the Lord allows and confers supernaturally. They eventually confirm by and through His existing authorities that the initiate inducted into His services is valid and approved unto God. 398. Divine Messenger—One who brings or gives a communication from a god. An angel, prophet, minister, or saint. Proverbs 13:17; Isaiah 42:19; Haggai 1:13.
