The prophet's dictionary guide to the supernatural

399. Divine Object Lesson—An important term that explains the living situations the Lord uses to train His messengers (or ministers) in the classrooms of the world. Prophets mostly are recipients of this type of training and grooming from the Lord. Divine object lessons are where learners are thrust into situations that compel them to learn life’s lessons by experience rather than theory. These divine object lessons are what the Lord needs them to grasp from His school. Generally, the lessons turn out to be the springboard for future ministry tasks and assignments. In prophetic contexts these can take the form of lessons about visions, dreams, Creator symbolism, or the literal manifestations of prophetic words to be spoken by the minister. 400. Divine Schedule—A term that is meant to identify the Lord’s predestined calendar of events ordained to keep the earth and humanity on His clock. Prophecy is tied to God’s schedule and prophetic apprehension and respect of the Creator’s timing is crucial to their continued success in His service. Prophetic words given irrespective of their appointed time or season are dangerous and leave the recipient of such words vulnerable to demonic performance ahead of God’s calendar or their counterfeit of the prophecy to seduce the person away from the worship of Creator God. Jesus spoke again and again about how the word of God must be fulfilled. The Scriptures, He stressed on more than one occasion, must be fulfilled. In His journey to the cross He took care to etch in the people’s minds that all that was taking place in His life was according to the inscribed, and prescribed word of God. He was born according to divine schedule. He appeared on Israel’s front by divine schedule. Jesus taught, traveled, slept, and worshipped in total accordance with the word of God on His life. He held the communion supper where the Lord God of Israel told Him to, knowing that what was necessary for the fulfillment of the Father’s commands was already prepared for Him. He left one region to minister in another to be, where He was to be, at the time He was to be there, teaching the subject matter the Father had prescribed for those in attendance. When He was arrested He reminded onlookers and perpetrators alike that they were all just a part of a master cosmic plan, the outcome of which would be nothing like they supposed. When standing before Pilate, the Lord Jesus continued His assignment by letting the governor know that he could have no power over Him if it were not given to him to have it by the Creator. Jesus, almost nonchalantly, informed Pilate that He could ignite an intergalactic war to prevent the governor from putting Him to death if He so chose. He said He could summon twelve legions of angels who would fight to stop His death if it were not written. One wonders at
