The prophet's dictionary guide to the supernatural

agrees by saying that the Lord has His own high places where He exercises dominion. These are not necessarily sites of evil or demonic worship. God assigns high places to His servants, which can be seen in Psalm 18:33. As a case in point, Lady Wisdom has her own high places from which she rules and dispenses the blessings of wisdom. Mountains, to continue, were ordinarily the site of high places. Amos 7:9 adds to this that Isaac had high places of his own, speaking to the promised seed of Israel’s covenant as distinguished from those Israel and Judah set up to defile themselves. Consistent with this view is Habakkuk’s revelation that prophets are installed in Creator God’s high places in Habakkuk 3:19. It is quite clear from all definitions that the high places referred to are the abode and domain of the angels—their celestial headquarters. Inclusive in this meaning are the angels as stars (that is, messengers of the Lord) and the clouds, their transportation vehicles, and temporary centers of activity in the earth. When the servants of God speak to the high places, they are incorporating in their references the eternal temple of the Almighty and its sanctuary. To mimic these, the devil too claims power and position in the heavenlies where his sanctuaries and temples dwell. With this Ezekiel 28 concurs. On the negative side, the most popular and well visited high place of the Bible aside from Mount Sinai was Mount Carmel. It was the center of divination and false prophetics for the prophets of Baal. It was also called the Mount of Divination or Baal’s Mountain. Read also the meaning of the word Mountain in this book. 1135. Prophetic Incubation—A term to describe the season of separation and often isolation whereby divine messengers are groomed for service by the god who called him or her to it. Prophetic incubation is where the spirit of the prophet is awakened to the calling and filled with the elements of the ministry. In the past, this incubation took place in caves or similar underground dwellings; sometimes they were sent to the wilderness for the same purpose. Once there, the only life the novice encountered was that of the deity orientating him or her for prophetic service. Visions, dreams, inner conflicts, and tumultuous wrestling with the opposers of their mantles occupy the novices’ time in incubation. During that time, they are expected to confront and conquer every fear, inhibition, or resistance arising to resist who and what they are called to become.
