The prophet's dictionary guide to the supernatural

During the Lord’s initial prophetic training classes, the prophet was being exposed to the ministry he would eventually carry out, which shows how the Lord introduced him to the subject matter his mantle would address. God told Ezekiel to sketch on clay the prophetic word he was to deliver to Jerusalem.

B) Prophecies that use natural observances or prior knowledge for their delivery. C) Perceptual prophecies are a favorite of such ministers. Perceptual prophesying is that which springs from the messenger’s mental opinions of the subject of their words. Examples of this are a quiet character, a person who looks shy, and two people seemingly close together who really should not be, which can produce perceptual prophesying where the word or the messages are the product of the prophet’s private interpretations, empirical deductions, and personal conclusions. Prophetic divination earns its title by relying on objects, the tangible and the physical, to deliver the word of the Lord.
