Understanding The Christian Prophetic Guidance

By Marylou Forbes


In order to live an exemplary life as a Christian, one ought to know what the Lord intends people to do and acting on what He demonstrates to the people. On this note, Christian prophetic guidance is the foundation of this as Jesus Christ has under the very new covenant given the church prophets, apostles, pastors, evangelists as well as teachers. He did this regardless of the Holy Spirit existing within people.

It is important that even before the guidance on matters of prophecy develops, Christians should understand the different ways in which they can see what Lord is doing. These could include through visionary dreams, instances of recognizing heavenly appointments, the scriptures and its teaching as interpreted by the men of God, prophetic means such s intercession, words, ideas, supernatural knowledge, among others. When believers receive a revelation that seems visionary in nature, this means that it is the Holy Spirit revealing things that could not have been known through natural means.

When Christians through the Holy Spirit receives these revelations, they are required to hear and oblige to the guidelines thereof. Developing and maintaining a great connection with God is recommended and this is fulfilled by understanding the love that God has for everyone and reciprocating that and having the Holy Spirit walking with it in all aspects. Every person receive the Holy Spirit and prophets are only meant to endorse what an individual has been hearing from the Spirit.

The guidelines how to handle prophetic messages is very essential. For instance, its recommended that an individual should be natural while expressing themselves. Jesus in His teachings used examples that people could easily relate to, and in the same manner, as insights of visionary things are passed on, it should be in a rather natural way.

It is vital to use a check list containing the teachings in the Holy Bible. These could be checked along with the insights that are contained in the divine visions. It is the intention of the Father that the message passed along is that which is good and will create positive effects in the lives of individuals.

Simplicity is key during sessions of evangelizing and the simple activities could include having the willingness to dedicate into prayer those in need, encouraging other people, among others. As people aim to grow spiritually, accountability is crucial as it assists a believer to keep utilizing the given gifts. A mentor, who is a person who will see you through the whole journey is required. This mentor will offer guidance as also correct where one goes astray.

Having a close and good relationship with God is not the sole purpose of living a visionary lifestyle. It is also meant to make sure that the people around as are impacted positively with what the Father is doing. Testimonies are therefore necessary.

It is upon believers to adhere to the guidance given. They should know that the prophecy gift is not the only ticket of hearing from God. All the children of God can hear from Him and better their relationship with Him.
