The prophet's dictionary guide to the supernatural

competence is complete, the gifts are transformed into resources the prophet draws on to accomplish the purposes assigned to his or her mantle. 1131. Prophetic Groups—One of the two divisions of the prophet’s office. For instance, the nabi versus the itinerant prophet, or one not assigned to, or in, apprenticeship. 1132. Prophetic Guard—The term given for the shield of spiritual force that prophets emit to deflect the assaults and stratagems devils throw at the people of God. These are very vital in the local churches of today. Prophetic guards pray, intercede, compel provision manifestation, and enforce New Testament obedience upon the forces of darkness. 1133. Prophetic Hedge—A hedge is an enclosure that surrounds an area or territory. Spiritually it refers to the guardrail prophets create to encircle their charges. Prophetic hedges extend about their spheres and charges to shamar them in the Lord.

Prophetic high places, for this reason, were often the site of kings, priests, and prophets inauguration according to the prophet’s words. See 1 Samuel 10–11. High place is also a term for the spherical ward of a leader in the heavenlies replicated somewhat by an earthly counterpart. See 2 Samuel 1:25 where Jonathan’s death was likened to falling from his high place. With this, Job 25:2
