The prophet's handbook

His command to manifest.

The Power of a Prophetic Mind-set The key to accomplishing such great feats as those mentioned above is a prophetic mind-set. That is an ongoing realization that what you want and need from God already exists in your kingdom account and all you need to do is withdraw it from the supernatural and embody it in the natural realm. Many things go into making this happen on purpose and on command. Mark 11:24 hints at it, saying that if you believe what you ask for, you will have it. The Greek word for “will have it” is esomai, and it literally means “will be.” The term implies that your belief will cause the object or events of your belief to be —that is, it to exist. While there is much more to say on this subject, for now it will suffice to say that this is what Christ was talking about when He said, “Whatever you ask in My name I will do.” (See John 14:13.) The word for “will do” is poieo, and it actually has Jesus saying He will prepare, construct, acquire, fashion, and author it at your word, according to your faith, cause your desire to be. As the Logos—the word, intelligence, and power that created all things—He gave us a clue about how to bring what He and His Father prepared for us from the foundation of the world into view and use. That clue is proclamation of His Word and declaration of one’s desires. Read Job 28:27, which is based on Job 22:28. It is easy to see from this why Satan works feverishly to divert Christ’s churches from His Word and His truth from its authentic spiritual manifestations. You, as a church prophet, must be on guard against this in the church you are assigned. To continue, a special collaborative arrangement between the Lord and His prophets, accomplished through their uniquely empowered spirits, enables their commands to cause their words to appear in natural form. You only need to read 2 Chronicles 20:20 and Isaiah 44:26 to be persuaded by this truth. God declares that He reveals His works and plans to and through His prophets. What a tremendous statement. The Maker of all things binds His powers to the words of His messengers to produce on demand what they utter as prophecy. This promise on God’s part makes true prophets more than merely His voice boxes; they are His implements and instruments as well. Review Hosea 6:5 and Zechariah 1:6. Below are some of the functions and objectives for prophecy and God’s uses of it.
