“…Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” Revelation 19:10
I personally believe that there is a generation that will groan in the spirit to receive this gift more than any generation before. I believe that this generation understands the verse above.
Over the years, the spirit of religion has tried to destroy the gifts of the spirit as mentioned in 1st Corinthians 12-14. Religion has stated the true cannon of scripture has come, the gifts that were seen in the old testament and the times when Jesus walked the earth are gone.
Religion grieves my spirit; it puts rules and regulations around everything and leads to death. I believe it is time for a generation to believe that we are the body of Christ and everything that He did on earth is being done through us today through His strength.
I believe that there is a prophetic generation being raised right now. I believe that more than ever in history the demonic is trying to destroy the prophet in the church because of where the Lord wants to release her.
The scripture above says that the testimony, which means the record, report, witness of Jesus Christ IS the spirit of prophecy. The word prophecy in the Greek means prediction. If this is stated in the last book of the Bible, is it true or is God a liar?
I believe religion wants us to believe that the gift of prophesy is done away with. I rebuke that statement. The Word of God says, “Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy” 1st Corinthians 14:1. Prophesy in this context means, to foretell events, divine, speak under inspiration, and exercise the prophetic.
Religion has told us that this is done away with. Scripture tells us otherwise. The church cannot fathom certain gifts, including the gift of the prophetic. I believe the cornerstone of the church at this moment of time is the prophetic. It is time for the prophets to rise up and to listen to what the spirit of the Lord is saying.
It is time for a prophetic generation to believe that the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. It is time for the church to submit to the Living God and cry out for the gifts of the Spirit.
