The prophet's dictionary guide to the supernatural

If the prophet indicated that the word is a way off, then just revisit occasionally until prayer and supplication reveal its time of manifestation is near. One detrimental prophetic response is deliberate indifference, and another is willful rejection of the word or it messenger. These two reactions are sure ways to abort or stagnate one’s prophecies in their germane form because there are vital reactions to prophecy that are germane to its fulfillment. When a prophecy’s manifestation is near, God sends other prophets to reiterate the original word to activate and actuate the forces assigned to its performance. Be aware of and willing to make any inner and outward changes that are necessary for a prophecy’s successful manifestation in its time. It can be that new attitudes, pursuits, and desires are in order to align one’s lifestyle and faith with the prophetic requirements of God’s word before it can come to pass. Prayer, fellowship, and inquiring of God alone reveal this. If your inquiry into the word’s timing and conditions is insistent enough, the Lord will dispatch another prophet with His reasons for any perceived delays or manifesting prerequisites of His first word. Warring with one’s prophecy does not mean wrestling with God to force its manifestation. That part is assured because the Lord took the initiative to send the prophecy in the first place. It also does not mean applying human effort and drive to perform God’s word by one’s own will. Both lead to frustration and resentment when the Godhead refuses or frustrates such human impositions on its schedule.

Obviously from the passage, explaining warfare and its requirements were unnecessary. Paul’s nonchalant use of the phrase indicates that warfare training was an important part of the young apostle‘s development. He simply needed to encourage Timothy’s bold application of his lessons. War with the prophecies concerning you, Paul said, because Timothy was now publicly living out Paul’s private tutelage. “This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare” (1 Timothy 1:18). Timothy was not to just war with the prophecies that have already gone out on his life and ministry, but those very words are now to become part of his present and future apostolic warfare arsenal.

War Tax—A war tribute given to the priests and the Levites who kept the temple, sanctuary, and God’s goods in peace while the army went out in the name of the Lord and won the war.
