The prophet's dictionary guide to the supernatural

1159. Prophetic Precision—Much like prophetic accuracy, this term adds to that definition the dimension of incisiveness to the prophet’s words. Here they cut away the carnal, the worldly, the humanist, and the darkened to inject the light of God in a situation. It refers to the prophet’s accuracy being so keen that it removes the darkness on things that may even be hidden from the hearer. Prophetic precision bores deeply into the hearer’s memory to surface what was so buried in the heart as to be unremembered or fragmented in the memory. It operates on the prophet’s exposure to the knowledge of God on the matter in which they speak. That knowledge is what is revealed with pinpoint incisiveness. 1160. Prophetic Presbytery—The term given to the eldership of prophets who minister collectively to a body. Generally, this group forms a company of prophets who cast an alliance for the purpose of prophetic covering and uniform dispensation of the word of the Lord. Ahab’s contingency of prophets is an example of this, as well as the companies of prophets referred to in Scripture repeatedly. They are also referred to as the sons of the prophets. 1161. Prophetic Presence—The discernable presence of the prophet’s spirit operating or apparent in a person. The behavior, conversation, and spiritual attitude that designates someone as a prophet or called to be one. The woman Jesus met at the well was impressed with His prophetic presence. See John 4:6– 43. 1162. Prophetic Project—This expression describes the tasks, assignments, and details the Lord assigns prophets to fulfill His word in the earth. It is more than merely engaging in prophetic preaching and teaching and includes moving God’s supernatural forces, enforcing His words and decrees in the earth, and manifesting physically what the Lord had declared prophetically. See Manifesting Prophecy and Prophetic Manifestation. All this is not merely a matter of course in the prophet’s routine, but it is strictly tied to projects the Lord has revealed He wants done in the earth. The prophets Haggai and Zechariah were quite accustomed to being used by God to facilitate projects undertaken as a result of the word of the Lord coming to pass. Prophetic projects are assigned when the word of previous prophets have arrived at their times of fulfillment. To mobilize the forces and garner the spiritual clout needed to turn the events that held the word’s fulfillment back, God musters prophetic voices to start the work. Once it has begun moving, God assigns a central prophetic figure to push it spiritually and guide it practically. The Bible says prophets in these assignments continually prophesy, counsel, guide, and guard the work until it is finished.
