About a year ago I was introduced to the idea of prophetic ministry. I got it ministered to me a few times and it had a profound effect on my personal relationship with Jesus. Then I was asked to join the teams and went through some training. The training was pretty straight forward, learning how God speaks, how he uses our personal language, reading the book "you may all prophecy" by Steve Thompson, and seeing bible verses pertaining to prophecy.
Well that was all good but did i know how to hear God and give that to someone in a meaningful way? Well on a Friday night I was on a team at church and I spent about 30 minutes ministering what i was seeing, hearing, feeling from the Lord for 2 different people. It went well, with positive feedback. The next day we went to a larger church with 24/7 prayer and intercession that was having a conference and had asked us to prophesy to their attendees. Well needless to say, I said to the Lord this all on you cause I feel a little out of place being so new to this.
Well, the Lord showed up, His presence was tangible, and the words I was given to speak to people fit with the team, our words confirmed each other and gave a good picture to each one we ministered to. The feedback from the leaders at the conference was incredible. I knew for a fact I could hear God speaking to me for others and it encouraged me to seek him more in my personal time.
Since then I have been on the team at church once a month, and I always get something good for those I am ministering to, though I don't always understand what it is I am speaking to in their lives. We have been back to the conferences at the other church and the ability to flow there has continued to grow. I just got downloads about peoples lives and great encouragement to the people ministered to. I praise the Lord and the Holy Spirit for moving so mightily in me and using me to speak into others lives. It has helped to see the potential in everyone I see, no matter their current state, or circumstances, God has a plan for them, and he has placed gifts in them.
