The prophet's handbook

until he lost the contest in Eden. Here is what the Lord Jesus meant when He said He saw Satan fall as lightning from heaven. (See Luke 10:18.) Satan fell from his celestial station into the spheres of the terrestrial, and terrestrial means earthly, worldly, and physical. To match Isaiah’s description of true God contact, one must draw on the spirit. Any spiritual connection is provided by the most High God, according to John 1:11–12 and 3:5–8. Safe and secure eternal connections can only be made when one is born again. Distinctively, this means born from God alone. (Study John 5:24.) Apart from this Creator-provided method, all supernatural interactions remain soulish and fleshly. Humans’ Seventh Sense The New Testament, on the other hand, gives us a better analogy. It talks about the hidden man of the heart and the spirit man, and mentions the abolition of the wall of partition between them that the Savior accomplished for us on the cross. This means that the divider between the soul and spirit (see Hebrews 4:12) that veiled the latter from the former was disintegrated by the work of the cross. At least its legitimacy and necessity were disintegrated. All people must accept Christ and be born again to make it a reality for themselves. However, Christ’s death allowed something to happen that had not been possible since Adam’s fall: the communication and information exchange between both intangible parts of humanity’s makeup—the soul and the spirit. Because of the work the Lord did on the cross, the spirit can now communicate to the soul and vice versa. Pure streams are possible, whereas before Christ, they were neutralized due to the eternal risks involved. The name for the spirit’s role in the supernatural affairs of the human life is “seventh sense.” It speaks to spiritual knowledge and intelligence. What makes this true is that seven is the number of the spirit—God’s spirit world—while six is the number of man and Satan. Better yet, it is the number of humanity’s fusion with Satan via the fallen soul. (See Revelation 3:18; 1:4; 4:5; 5:6.) These show the difference between the sixth (soul’s) sense and seventh (New Creation) spirit, and how they relate to people’s supernatural faculties. Prophets are obliged to be cognizant of this truth to discern when an utterance originates from the Lord God or from one of His fallen creatures. The ability to do so is vital to revealing the dark side of the human heart, as Ezekiel 13:1–3 and 1 Corinthians 14:25 share. What makes this knowledge relevant to prophets‘ validity is the reason they are seen as important to society and to the church. The prophets’ importance to
