 Fema, would you like to pray? If you are comfortable, I could ask someone else. Not sure if Fema is able to lead us. How about Nicholson? I think it's easier. Nicholson is from Archer, so call him Nicky. Easy to call you Nicky. Nicky, would you like to pray? Sure, can you tell me? Yes, yes, very well. Okay. Lord God our heavenly Father, we just thank you for this day, Lord. We just thank you for giving us this opportunity and this chance to come with hope. You and I learn together, Lord. We just pray that as we study your word and learn about prayer and intercession, Lord. We just pray that this would edify us and we would go out and practice this also, Lord. We pray for your special anointing upon Pastor Nancy as she teaches us also. May your Holy Spirit speak through and Jesus may be pleased. Thank you so much. Thank you, Nicky. That's a blessing. Okay, let's get into today's class. I know we had some questions about praying the Spirit in the last class. So again, if you are applying what we have been talking about, what we have been studying so far, please feel free. You can ask questions from the previous chapters also. Okay, so we can do that towards the end of today's class, but I'll go straight into the next topic here in our notes, which is about prophetic prayer. Now, for some of us, this concept of prophetic, the prophetic might be very new. What I can encourage you to do is, you know, we have an APC publication called as understanding the prophetic. So if you would like to get a hold of that publication, again, it's in our resources section. So you can just use the URL apcw.org slash books. Go there. You have PDF versions of books in many languages. You pick out if you want English because the English books and over there choose the PDF of understanding the prophetic. Then it'll give you a lot of insights about how we hear from God because we serve a God who speaks, a God who communicates. And throughout the Word of God, we find that God was speaking, isn't it? He was speaking to people. So how did they pick up the message? That is the prophetic. Okay, we can get to understand the prophetic. Now, today what we are going to discuss more specifically is hearing from God and that moving us to pray. So prophetic prayer, a prophetic prayer. So we are praying in line with what God is saying. That's what we are going to discuss about. So we can engage in what is known as, as part of prayer, we've seen there are many different kinds of prayers, one of which is intercession. Intercession is what we do on behalf of others. So we can pray prophetically for ourselves or we can also pray for others. And when we are praying for others, we would call it prophetic intercession. And we would pray that in line with what God has put upon our hearts. Now, when we speak to God, when we spend time with God, through the Holy Spirit, we've talked about this. Even when we touched on praying in the Spirit, we said the Holy Spirit, one of the things that he does is he brings revelation. He knows the mind of God. The Spirit of God knows the mind of God. So he's able to reveal what is going on in God's mind to us. So he's a spirit of revelation. We say that revelation or he shares the mind of God with us. So he brings revelation. So we can pray, we can ask God for revelation about ourselves. Or remember in the pattern of prayer and yesterday when we touched upon how you can have a set time to pray. And in that time, you can pray about many different things. We can actually ask God about each of those subjects. You can say, okay, God, I want you to reveal to me about my ministry and then God would reveal it to you. So what is this revealing revelation, hearing from God, God speaking to us, prophetic. So that Reema word of God or the now word of God is being released to us. And on the basis of that, we begin to pray. So we could also ask God and say God, you know, reveal to me about my city. What is it that I must pray for? I might point you to praying more specifically for the leaders or the education system or something. So you heard from God that, okay, I need to focus on this one area and then you go ahead and you begin to pray about that. So we have a God who can give us revelation about different things that concern us. It could be our families, it could be our future, it could be our church congregation. So he can guide us, he can lead us. So we must ask him, there are a couple of scriptures which are listed here about our God revealing himself to us, his purposes to us. So it would be good for us to read it. So if someone can take up Isaiah 45 and 11, you can read it, it's in the notes as well. One person can read that, one person can read Isaiah 42 and verse 9. Okay, sure, sure, sure. Isaiah 45 verse 11. Thus is the Lord, the Holy One of Israel and his maker. Ask me of things to come concerning my sons and concerning the work of my hands, you command me. Wow, isn't that amazing. Thank you Rosalind. So God is saying, ask me. And I am able to reveal to you, he basically over here he says about my people. But we know that God is a God who can speak to us about so many different things. And God says ask me. Okay, the next scripture please, someone can you read it? Isaiah 42 verse 9. Isaiah 42 verses 9. See the former things have taken place and the new things I declare. Before the spring into being, I announce them to you. Wow, thank you. So do you see that God says even before it takes place, I can tell you. Okay, I reveal it to you. So is it possible for a believer to know things ahead of those things actually happening? Very much. Okay, that's where the whole prophetic prayer comes in. So we can know that God is saying I will reveal. One more verse, very beautiful one. And this is Isaiah 46 and verse 10. Again, can somebody please take this up and read it for us please. Isaiah 46 verses 10. I make known the end from the beginning. From ancient times, what is still to come? I say my purpose will stand and I will do all that I please. Very good. So you notice here, God is actually saying that he can declare the end from the beginning. How many of you, when you start reading a book, you know, you sometimes the books are so time consuming. And you want to know the end. But God is saying, look, I can tell you the end from the beginning. In a book, it's easy. You just read the last few pages, you know what's going to happen. But in life, how to know what's coming up next? God is saying, I know the end from the beginning before the end takes place. Because we serve a God who is omniscient. He knows all things. So on the basis of that, we can depend on his revelation. On various matters. So the point that we're trying to drive home here is God can give us revelation. And what did we say about prayer? He said God reveals his purposes and we prayed. We prayed into existence. We exercise our authority through prayer. We establish things through prayer. So on the basis of what? On the basis of God's purposes. Now we have understood in a prayer, believing prayer, we said we should first hear from God or first understand the will of God. And that we will understand from his word. In addition to that, the work of the Holy Spirit where revelation is given to us on the basis of that, we can pray. So God reveals, we pray, right? And things happen. So we can depend on God. We can ask God. We can trust God. So today, we will see, when we hear from God and we start praying, praying those revelations through, how can it benefit us? So there are a couple of things that can happen when God reveals. It can delay or avert God's judgment. So there are a couple of things in our notes here that happen when we pray through what God is revealing. So one point here in our notes is that prophetic prayers can delay or avert God's judgment. Then we will also talk about prophetic prayers that will foil Satan's attacks and then we will touch on prophetic prayers which reveal one's destiny. They reveal one's destiny. And prophetic prayers which can also, you can use them as declarations, as proclamations to execute the purposes of God on the Athena. When we speak the word of God, when we decree the word of God, that word begins to work. It goes into action and things are accomplished. So we will look at these main points about what prophetic prayer can do. Now we have understood that God can reveal and we can pray on the basis of that. So the first point here, prophetic prayer that delays or avert God's judgment. So there is a wonderful example in the Bible. You have the prophet Amos who was given a vision. And in that vision, this is an Amos chapter 7. You find that first he sees the northern kingdoms of Israel or he's part of the northern kingdoms of Israel who are experiencing a wonderful time. They are doing well, they are prosperous politically, economically and they are basically enjoying themselves. But their hearts were far away from God and the way things were moving, that was not good. So God knew what was to happen later. These people, they are having a great time. They don't know that God is upset about their heart attitude. And you find that these people were also engaging in pleasure and a lot of things which were not pleasing God. Idolatry, injustice and things like that. So obviously when you saw things like that in the land, what can you reap? You can only reap the results, the consequences of the wrongdoing. So God gave a vision to his prophet Amos and revealed to him that judgment is going to come upon the people. So in the first incident, Amos sees locusts coming and destroying the land, the green, the grass of the land and basically he understands that this is judgment and judgment is going to come. But the moment he sees that, he prays to God and he says, God let it not happen. And God relents. God says, okay fine, I will not make it happen. It shall not be, said the Lord. And his prayer was answered. Now again, he sees another image. That is the image of fire, fire coming and destroying. And again when Amos sees this vision, he says God, let it not be. And then God relents. So what's happening? See basically God is speaking to the prophet and he is saying that judgment is impending judgment on the people of God and what is the expectation that God has from a man of God? Intercession. And Amos does that and he says, no God, let it not be. God is revealing, he is saying, look it's moving in that direction and somebody has to stand in the gap for this judgment to not take place and God actually relents and it does not happen. So we notice here that when God reveals, maybe some consequence of sin or judgment. Judgment is a huge word here. But when God reveals things to us, we can intercede. We can intercede for ourselves. We can intercede for the people and say, how about our land? We know that righteousness must be established in our land and it's not yet in that state. So when God reveals certain things to us, we can pray and we can say God, let it not be. If there is any consequence of this sin and injustice, Lord we ask that you remove it off. And you can actually see these judgments stop. There's also another incident in the life of Ahab. Ahab, when he repented, God delayed the judgments like he was judged. But it came as King Ahab, it came in stages because he pleaded with God for that to happen. So it actually happened for him. So we could delay or we can avert God's judgment through prophetic prayer. Again, see, it all depends on what God is revealing to us. But here we are focusing in on three major points as I've already shared with us. So if God reveals things to us, we can intercede. And I think particularly this is helpful when we are praying for our nation, when we are praying for our people. So we could ask God, God, what are the areas? Why would you want me to focus? And then God can begin to reveal and we can pray for the people. Now in the Old Testament, there are examples, other examples also of leaders who prayed and God did not bring judgment upon the people. So Moses is a good example and we all know how the people that Moses led complained all the time and they did not have an attitude of faith towards God. Every now and then they used to get in trouble with God and God's judgment, right? Because God is a holy God and when the people went about sinning, Moses had to plead with God. He had to stand in the gap and as a leader, he had to say, God, no, please, spare them. What will the other nations say? You brought them out with a mighty hand. You brought them out from Egypt and now you only destroyed them with the wilderness. What will the other nations say? So there are many times when Moses goes before God, he intercedes and the judgment actually is taken away from the people. So in that manner, there's also a role that leadership can play as God reveals different things and puts it on our hearts. We can actually pray for the people now. It is applicable for any form of leadership. Maybe you're praying for your own children in the family or somebody that you have influence over in the household. But you can see judgment about it. You can see judgment delayed over the lives of the people. When God reveals something, one more thing to realize is it's not to go and tell everyone. So in the understanding the prophetic book, we talk about that. So when we get dreams, a lot of intercessors, they get confused. They're like, okay, God showed me this. What should I do about it? Should I go and tell everyone? Should I put it in social media? The first thing that God is really expecting us to do when he reveals something is for us to pray. And sometimes that might be the only thing he wants us to do. I'm telling you, you pray. That's all. So we pray about those matters. And usually what happens, the prayer is heard and things change. And what do we have to say? They'll be like, I told you, it's not going to happen. But then God has spoken to the hearts of so many people. And for all you know, there have been hundreds and thousands of people that God has spoken to about a certain matter. They all prayed for it and it didn't happen. So God works in this way. He chooses to reveal things, match ahead of time. And then we as his people, we are faithful to intercede. If at all he's communicating to us about judgment, about certain things happening as a consequence to the wrongdoing, those things can be stopped or they can also be deleted. Now moving on to the next thing here, which is profiting intercession which foils Satan's attacks. Now while we're talking about this, I just want to make one point here as believers. We have to always function from a place of faith, function from a place of authority. As long as we are in the world, what happens? There is the infection of sin in the world. There is the work of Satan against everybody, especially against the believer. There is the work of Satan. So when we talk about Satan's attacks, as believers our response should not be like, oh my goodness, what will I do? How Satan is waiting to attack me? Let's not be Satan and demon conscious. Let's be more God conscious. We have great authority. The keys of the kingdom are given to you. The keys of the kingdom are Jesus said. So you can bind and lose. You can exercise your spiritual authority having said that. When we do see that Satan is scheming and plotting against God's people, which he does all the time against everybody, God is able to reveal the dwell ahead of time. When he does reveal that, look, you are moving in the wrong direction. There is some issue along the way. Be careful. God can speak to our hearts. When we know Satan is planning something against my family in this area or my community or my job or anything concerning my money, I might end up having a huge loss. What do you do? When God reveals that to you, you start to pray. What are you doing? You are foiling Satan's attacks. He is planning. He is building up something against us. What have God said? Isaiah 54-17 says, no weapon found against you shall prosper. Every tongue that rises against you shall come down. God will lead me in triumph and victory in Christ Jesus. We fall down to these creatures and when God is revealing to us that Satan is up to something, we have to diffuse his attacks. How do we do that through prayer? You begin to pray and say, no, we are not letting this happen. God has already revealed it. Satan, we destroy your plans in Jesus' name. Basically, you counter it through prayer. Even before it takes place, it's gone. It's destroyed. Let's say, for whatever reason, you have started off and you are seeing things unfold which you don't like, but God can still protect us. He can get us out of that situation. But God reveals well ahead of time that this is dangerous. You are heading in the wrong direction because there are schemes and strategies of the enemy against you. We see a good example. Peter, Simon Peter, in Luke 22 verses 31 and 32, he says, Simon, indeed, Satan has asked for you that he may sift you as wheat but I have prayed for you that your faith should not fade and when you have returned to me, strengthen your brethren. When Jesus was aware that Peter is going to walk through a test, that Peter is going to be attacked. We know what happened. Jesus died and it was a tumultuous time for the disciples because they thought the king has come to establish the kingdom but before their eyes, he is being beaten, bruised, rejected, ill-treated and he is dead. So what happens to the confidence of the disciples? They have hit rock bottom and at that time, Peter denies Christ. Jesus already knew it's going to be a tough time but you know what, Peter? The best thing I can do for you to protect you is to pray for you. So Jesus said, I have prayed for you, Peter. So in advance, Jesus had actually prayed for Peter and how does this prayer actually help, Peter? So you see, prayer protects. Prayer forms a it forms like a fortress, covering a shelter and it protects the believer and Jesus knew that. Now, talking about a leader praying for the disciple, there is also the example of Moses. This is in Hosea 1230 where God says, by a prophet, the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt and by a prophet, he was preserved. So preserved, he was preserved. That term over there, preserved, is actually the term Shamar. Shamar in Hebrew, which means to hedge whatever I said, fortress, refuge, what are these things? It's like a hedge, if you have a garden and you have a fence around it, basically a fence. It protects. So by a prophet, the people of God were preserved. Now how did the prophet stop the people of God? He was a praying person. Every time he used to go and he used to pray and it is through the prayers that you can actually form a hedge. Now this is so helpful for those of us who may be in some role of influence or authority. I'm sure for parents, it makes all the difference that you can pray for your children. You can't go wherever they go. I know parents worry, oh children have to go to school, what will happen, how will they manage, why can't you pray for them? Shamar, preserve, hedge. You can put a hedge of prayer around it and when they are protected even if Satan were to have some ideas to bring them down, some danger around the way, something evil that the enemy wants to do. What have you done? You have protected through your prayers. And that's what Jesus did for Peter, Moses did for his people. And we are called to do that for everyone that God puts on our heart. We can actually pray. And this what Shamar is also it means cover. So when you see that God covered okay, hang on. So when God asked Adam to protect the garden or keep the garden the word Shamar is used when Cain complains and he says, you know, am I my brother's keeper or protector? That word also is Shamar. So Shamar is basically to protect and preserve. So we can pray. I told you that parents can pray for the children. Pastors can pray for their congregations. Leaders, any capacity of leadership they can pray for God's people and they can put things on our hearts and you can warn us and say look it's headed in this direction I want you to pray. So it's a prophetic prayer which you raise up and as you're praying that prophetic prayer what happens? It's like one invisible shield so you have all these sci-fi movies there's shield. You can't see it but there is a shield and that is what a prophetic prayer can do. And we can go against the sin that Satan can bring against God's people deception that he may want to bring against God's people. You know, any kind of worldliness, temptation any evil like witchcraft there are so many evils we see right that Satan tries to bring against God's people whatever it is you know as watchmen or keepers Shamar we can protect through the prayers that we pray. And then the third point here what prophetic prayers can do prophetic prayers can also release one's destiny. You recall I think it was Zacharias he prayed over his son John and when John was born he prophesied you child and he says so many things over John the Baptist and that is the prophetic word released by a father over his child now what is happening through that prophetic prayer the destiny of that child is being released so prophetic intercession sometimes you can God is revealing that God is revealing I'm going to do this in the life of so and so maybe it's a young person in your church that you are working with and God is revealing you have a great purpose for this individual I have a great purpose in the field of business for this individual so what am I supposed to do God is revealing all these things about that person to me the first thing you do when you're receiving revelation is pray about it there's no need to go and tell anyone there's no need to even go and tell that person unless God says go and tell that person okay so usually God reveals for us to engage in prayer so as you begin to pray for that person in line with what has been told to you God is working in that person's life and in the spiritual realm your prayers are making the way in a sense and that destiny is being shaped they are being moved in the right direction so prophetic intercession can also release one into that destiny now this is again very very helpful parents you might find it most useful because as the Lord reveals to you so many things about your children you can create and say God thank you my son my daughter for this and I know you are giving them the wisdom you are anointing them you are equipping them you are gifting them you are leading them there is favor upon them so you speak over you declare over that child the destiny of that child is actually being shaped even as you are praying over that individual and similarly you know as a pastor or a leader God might put the destiny of people on our heart so even the destiny of our congregation and then you begin to pray you say God this is what you are showing me this is what you are going to do Lord so I am speaking that forth I am declaring that in the name of Jesus so through prophetic intercession when I told you about Dr. Yonge I told you how his prayers were prophetic intercession because in fact he knew the exact number of people that he should pray for the Holy Spirit would relate to him now how did he receive that revelation so we have been saying all along our fellowship with God our fellowship in the world our fellowship with the Holy Spirit that releases this revelation to us and we are able to receive it in a very clear way and we know it is hard to explain when you ask a person who has heard from God prayed and now finally they are sure that hey this is what God is saying how do you know the class of person it is kind of difficult sometimes to explain but you know that God has confirmed it affirmed it reaffirmed it and you are holding on to that prophetic word and then you are beginning to pray it for and then we pray the prophetic word so many beautiful things happen we have seen how judgment can be averted we have seen how you see ma'am you are on a mute yeah thank you so much so I was saying that we have seen so far how judgment can be averted through prophetic intercession attacks can be destroyed and we have also seen how destiny can be released now the prophetic word there is one more application in our notes which is proclamation or decree Jeremiah the prophet God spoke to him and he kind of revealed the power of the words in his mouth so I think it is good if we read it it is Jeremiah 1 verses 9 and 10 somebody will have to turn to it in your Bible and read it ma'am can I yes yes Rosalind please go ahead then the Lord put forth his hand and touched my mouth and the Lord said to me behold I have put my words in your mouth see I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms to root out and to pull down destroy and to throw down to build and to plant thank you thank you Rosalind so you see there how God wanted Jeremiah to do the work God didn't give him any tools in his hands and we are talking about the nations and God is saying tear down build up up root how do you do such tasks without having equipment to go deep in the ground or you are needed bulldozer to damage your wall but God is saying look what I have given you to do all that so much work my word in your mouth use the word and you use the word we don't understand the dynamics of what really happened how this kind of work can be done the word works the word is powerful my word in your mouth speak that word to pull down to tear down to build up all those tasks will be done so we are encouraged prophetic intercession is about what it's about the word of God it's about God speaking to us and revealing things to us so when we gain that knowledge and we keep that word and we begin to speak the word we are proclaiming we are declaring that prophetic word God is going to do this in my life God is going to do this in my family God has promised that he is going to raise up a strong church strong in the spirit strong in the word a church which will be salt and light a church which will speak the truth of God's word so what are you doing basically whatever God has put on your heart God has revealed about the things that concern you you are speaking it like Jeremiah and when you are speaking it you might think what is the big thing I just said what God said but that's what God told Jeremiah my word in your mouth I am putting my word in your mouth and that word when you speak it destroy build up mighty things will take place because of the power the inherent power of that word so by faith when I say God you said this I am also saying it it is very powerful declaration decreeing it is very powerful so when we engage in intercession and we are talking about prophetic intercession God has revealed many things to us he has confirmed many things in our hearts speak it over our lives speak it over the church speak it over the city speak it over the nation speak it over the body of Christ proclaim it declare it and even as we do that there is a work which is being done in the spiritual realm which we may not be able to see but God is working God is at work so that's a little bit about prophetic intercession so at this point I think I will pause so that we can discuss any thoughts any questions along these lines or if you want to bring up something from the previous chapters that's also fine we can discuss so I'll just leave this time open see some comments here that's nice it is God so we were asking words of knowledge and prophetic what is the difference between words of knowledge and prophetic okay Divya so when we look at the gifts of the spirit that are listed I think it's been listed in 1 Corinthians chapter 12 we see there 9 gifts of the spirit so in the gifts of the spirit like among the 9 gifts just for the sake of our understanding we usually classify them under certain categories like vocal gifts vocal gifts would be like prophecy not that category so it is classified in different ways now gifts of revelation if you go by that classification the word of knowledge and prophecy both come under the revelation gifts so what God is revealing prophecy actually prophecy is generally categorized under vocal gifts so don't worry about that so word of knowledge, word of wisdom and I think discerning of spirits so this is put under the revelation gifts so word of knowledge is a revelation gift so you kind of come to know you receive a piece of information about something which you never knew earlier okay for example I'm just telling you there was this lady who came to our place to help us with something so she stayed over for a couple of days and she was helping us I was praying I was just praying for my home and then this lady was going to come right so I was just praying about that as well but when I was praying for that lady I felt like she is into stitching clothes and the thought just came to me and then I didn't do anything about it it came and it went but I had that sense that she is into stitching clothes I never asked her she came and she was helping us for a couple of days and then in a few days I noticed she pulled out her things and she was kind of stitching her clothes and I asked I just stopped I was shocked I said oh wait a minute so you stitch she's like yeah I'm actually a tailor because I wasn't doing too well in that now I'm doing some of these other jobs also to make money so personally for me that was like wow that is amazing that's a word of knowledge you have no way of knowing it except that God told you that so word of knowledge you have information about something so that's word of knowledge now that's a revelation gift but also it's a prophetic gift so you could say that word of knowledge is under the umbrella of the prophetic so under the prophetic you will have prophecy, word of knowledge word of wisdom discerning of spirit so all those gifts come under the prophetic umbrella so that's how you would look at it does it make sense? yes so words of knowledge also can be related to what are root causes of certain issues or knowing those like things in the past as well words of knowledge yeah definitely yeah thank you good and you know this is the prophetic right because then you have the understanding you know exactly what to pray for or what to counsel that person for okay yeah right so I'll just share with you one more such incident that happened and it's very strange so on one of our mission strips we were praying for a particular lady she came and it was me and one of the students that girl was very new with the prophetic so we generally pray two people together we pray and then we kind of see like what is God telling me what is God telling you and usually it would flow so we pray in two so we both were praying for her and we got this impression of wasted time wasted time so then we didn't know what to do and we called the pastor this was in some village kind of a setting where we went so we called the pastor and then we you know told that person told her that we are getting this so then the pastor said hey it's a new believer and you know she's coming from a difficult kind of a lifestyle and also she was not married but she was staying with somebody okay but now she's a believer but she's kind of like not willing to let go of that so the pastors were actually having that issue and then when we revealed we understood like we understood what God was trying to say because she was actually not married and she was not willing to repent and make a change in that area so then when the word came up we were able to obviously we did not address it right away because it was very sensitive matter but we told that pastor so the pastor lady she kind of took her aside and then she ministered to her and shared with her how you know this is what God is pointing out to and you have to make a correction in this area also then you know they could do their process of come seeing her and taking charge but I was amazed like oh man this is an issue in this individual's life but through that word of knowledge prophetically it came up and God was showing that person to address that issue so many incidents like that so prophetically God can say he can reveal lot of things to us and even when we are praying like I remember once this happened in North Church and I was praying for this one person I can smell alcohol and I have no clue and this person doesn't come often to church he is just on and off kind of individual so I don't know much about that person I am praying for him and then I can suddenly smell and obviously like he is alert clean, fresh smelling different in the natural but as I am praying I can smell it so I was like okay God you know something is happening here so I have to take authority and I kind of took authority and I rebuked that spirit obviously I didn't tell him to shout at him scare him or anything I just quietly did what I needed to do and rebuked that spirit and all but it's only late that he came back to me one day and said that you pray for me I was really struggling I was stuck in that cycle of wanting to give up drinking but I was still drinking but the day you prayed a real change has come into my mind but we can't know that one is God reading isn't it so things like that so you depend on the spirit and the gifts of the spirit and God in reading God in reading you pray in line with that you minister to the people so you can know is sharing can share some testimony or illustration of the word of wisdom okay word of wisdom word of wisdom see word of knowledge is information you receive some information that you could not have known word of wisdom is solution okay word of wisdom yeah so I recall that this was in one of my jobs they had given a task and I was not like I mean I was just introduced to things like excel and all that so they wanted us to work on data and we had a way of doing it and it would take a certain amount of time now suddenly they said you know you have to finish this work over the weekend and Monday you have to give the report and that was like a big shock for me and my team honestly like I can work on in a certain way but not like to that extent and it's huge huge set of data so then what happened I remember so clearly word of wisdom is you knowing the solution which you are not trained to know okay so it just comes to you so that might you will it's amazing I had a dream and it was as if I'm looking at the excel sheet and looking at copy paste do this do this do this like this okay you get your data your final report the next day I did that and the work which is supposed to take me many days to finish I use that technique and it was done in no time and there's no way of me doing it honestly because you know I'm telling you I wasn't great neither am I great right now with excel I don't do some basic stuff but that's an example of word of wisdom is a little which I applied to myself now this somebody can come to you and they can ask you also for a solution for example you know somebody comes and tells you a dream I saw this dream what is the interpretation that interpretation is actually you can rely on the gift of the word of wisdom because you don't know what it means but by the Holy Spirit you can tell the meaning of the dream okay so that has been application like when you're ministering to people word of wisdom you can interpret dreams visions and all that does it help send it to me yes ma'am it's clear thank you oh okay yeah thank you so class please hold on I think people have questions and discussions here so some of you if you have to log off from the class you're free to but others if you're staying on I think we may continue for a few more minutes okay so Siddhkanu says yesterday night my grandmother woke up at 2am in the night and she said me being in prayer I said today morning what happened she told me that the Lord woke me up and I was praying for someone I don't know can God wake up anyone to pray for someone you don't yes yes Siddhkanu that can happen because yeah God just needs an intercessor right and he finds somebody obedient he can share he can reveal we read those verses when we started off he can reveal to that person and that person came please yes it's very much possible okay okay great thank you thank you I'm glad it helps you and yeah Nikki you have a question I saw your hand raised yeah can you hear me I just with your permission I just want to share my experience yeah please go ahead actually I just recently started moving in that gear because of I mean honestly we taken over the ministry so we just started and every so how it happened was that we were casting out a demon and then then suddenly I had this thing in my head and I spoke it out and it turned out it was right and what why I wanted to say that actually I felt like there are many people who sometimes doubt what is happening but sometimes we just need to take that doubt out and just speak out whatever it is so once we were baptizing someone and I got the picture of a red color leaf which made no sense in my head and then after that I got an eye in that leaf and then I just decided to speak it out when it made no sense but immediately God put the word in my mouth like I didn't think of it at all so that person's wife who was getting baptized said do you have idols at home take it out and it's happened like twice or thrice with me so I just felt like encouraging everyone was thinking that you know maybe it's not you it's just your mind or what not sometimes you just need to speak out and God will fill your mouth with whatever that is and that's the experience with me and I think as the Nancy you can correct me if I'm wrong or not but I just felt like encouraging to do that yeah of course Niki thank you so much for sharing and it is encouraging the Holy Spirit is in every believer and the Holy Spirit releases the gifts of the Spirit in every believer so all of us as Niki was sharing I shared my experiences again I do believe that everyone has your own experiences there must be so many times that God revealed things to you in your life your life journey so meditate on those incidents so I think of all these revelations that God has helped me with and how each time I've seen oh God it definitely cannot be me it was you working in my life so you can take a step of faith the next time you have an impression as Niki was sharing just take a step of faith and begin to allow the Spirit to minister through me and today mostly we are focused on God revealing things for the sake of intercession so when that happens when God reveals puts things on your heart about yourself or someone else make that effort to pray for them in line with what is being revealed and also declarations speak it for them and say God thank you but this is what you are going to do this is what you have done this is what you have accomplished so you are engaging so you are co-laboring with God God is revealing you are speaking you are praying things are being done so just take a step forward everyone and let the revelation that God is giving you move you forward to see great things accomplished for the glory of God so yeah and please do think about these things and if you still want to talk a little more we can always do that in the next class so we will close off today we will close off with a word of prayer and let me just ask someone to pray please so okay Zalitoli can you please pray and close yes ma'am Father
