The prophet's dictionary guide to the supernatural

by one thing. Samuel and Moses were prophetic intercessors within the literal kingdom of God. They both served as rulers in the Lord’s procured land. The second group, Daniel, Noah, and Job, did not. They all served the Most High God, the Almighty, in pagan lands under kings and rulers who resisted and despised the Creator. Nevertheless, through these examples the Lord shows the power of a prophet’s intercession whether under His direct or indirect domain. If you read Psalm 99:8 you will also learn that intercession, although it may produce divine forgiveness, does not always exempt one from the consequences of his or her sinful deeds. Sometimes people’s deeds are so tied to creation’s law of cause and effect that even though they may be forgiven, many penitents are still obliged to walk through the damage and detriments of their sin. Notwithstanding, a prophet’s intercession serves to exclude some sinners from the spiritual and/or eternal repercussions of their sin, what God really desires most of all. Daniel 10 records the most intense and extensive prophetic intercession engaged in by a prophet. Moses injects this important function in the chronicles of Israel’s history by being constantly in a position of having to intercede before the Lord for Israel’s habitual sins. Sometimes his intercession averted national crises and plagues, and at other times it did not. See Baal of Peor as a case in point. 1141.

The entire writing of Daniel illustrates this standard function of the prophet’s mantle. 1142. Prophetic Language—The body of terms and phrases that can only apply to the sphere of prophecy. This is the predictive, revelatory, apocalyptic, poetic, and psalmist spheres of Creator God’s dominions. These further include the Holy Bible as God’s revelation of Himself, and the supernatural and spiritual as they are invoked in prophetic manifestations. See Daniel’s ministry in the Old Testament. 1143. Prophetic Leadership—The phrase pertains to the unique leadership style, methods and motivations of prophets. The office being one of inherent leadership means that getting God’s tasks and projects done through His people and moving them forward in the Lord’s purposes are innate to the position. Prophetic leadership, best illustrated by Samuel and the other prophets of Scripture over congregations, tends to be more inflexible and can be more intrusive than others. Prophecies and revelations aside, with prophetic leaders,
