The prophet's dictionary guide to the supernatural

inducting leadership into God’s service, instituting and enacting divine government, discipline and correction, vocational declaration, counseling, and instruction. Refer to Ezra 5:1; Zechariah 3; Nehemiah 6:14, along with Amos 3:7–9. Also, look at Daniel 1:20 and Jeremiah 1:5, 10, with Micah 3:8. 1120. Prophetic Duties and Disciplines—A phrase that identifies the collective acts, charges, and regulatory restraints that govern prophets in the professional discharge of the office. These exceed the practice of uttering predictive prophecy to include the balancing criteria that apply wisdom, knowledge, insight, character, and integrity to the predictions. They refer to the complement of inner government that provides the checks and balances that restrain a prophet’s natural and carnal proclivities and inspire the messenger to choose the higher and God glorifying path of prophetic service. Questions of ethics and morality are answered in the development of sound prophetic disciplines that assure correctness and guard against prophetic perversion and seduction. 1121. Prophetic Economy—A term that describes the unique economic dispensation assigned to prophetic mantles to be dispensed by the prophet. The economy is not limited to money or wealth, but contains the entire administration of the Creator’s supernatural provisions for the earth that are delegated by Him to His messengers. This is why the prophet’s mantle unavoidably attracts and releases wealth. Whatever God’s treasuries hold for the earth, seasoned prophets through prophesying, teaching, training, and spiritual warfare can and will dispense. This action lies at the heart of the Bible’s use of the term dispensation. 1122. Prophetic Elements—Components of nature, worship, and religion are employed as standard features of prophetic ministry, apparitions, or operations. They are employed as facilitators of prophetic manifestations and may extend to worship with its instruments, sacraments, and other communion objects. Prophetic elements further include study aids and practical objects identified by God in a prophetic setting as conducive to manifesting His revelatory or predictive word. 1123. Prophetic Emblems—Man-made objects, objects of nature, and other material believed to possess prophetic, psychic, and divinatory powers. Trees (the oak tree in particular), fruits, nuts, gemstones, etc., are all examples of these. They are regularly employed in revelatory and predictive settings to symbolize the things that comprise and paint a prophecy. Sometimes prophetic elements certify the authenticity of the word of the Lord, or represent standard wares that
