The prophet's dictionary guide to the supernatural

the other activated with it is not. Words like coactive, coefficient, and cooperative explain it. The term symbiotic prophetics defines the cooperative activities of prophetic words combined with the unseen collaboration of the angelic delegation assigned to see they are performed. See also Jeremiah 28:9; 1 Kings 17:24; 2 Chronicles 36:22. In 1 Samuel 3:19, this agency is inferred when it says, “the Lord let none of Samuel’s words fall to the ground.” Jesus unveiled this action in John 14:10 when He said He spoke the words of the Father and His Father within Him did the work of the word spoken. When Mark 16:20 says that the Lord was working with the apostles as they preached, this is what is meant. Christ’s statement that the will of God be done on earth as it is in heaven is another example of this type of symbiotic prophetics. The strength of prophecy is that the words spoken by God’s prophets are performed the moment they leave the messenger’s mouth. It is founded upon the premise that as the very words of the Creator, His inherent power, and authority within them accomplishes the work. Coupled with this are the prophet’s accoutrements of service that include their divine license, spiritual authority, and official status in the supernatural. These all activate at once the moment the Lord’s prophetic word goes forth. Prophets speak what they see by the Spirit of God irrespective of what the situation looks like in the natural. Elijah’s prophecy of rain exhibits this as his insistent pressure upon the supernatural caused the elements to align themselves with what he said must be. After awhile, the prophet’s servant saw a small cloud about the size of a man’s fist forming to indicate that a rainstorm was in the making. It is the same with his prophecy of feast in the midst of drought caused famine. Study the entire account in 2 Kings 7. What it shows is that the prophecy spoken by Yahweh’s messenger ignited God’s sovereign intervention to perform the prophet’s words. Another instance is 2 Kings 6:16–18 where Elisha’s prophetic sight saw the host of fiery angels the Lord had sent to win Israel’s war with the Syrian army. 1483.
