 Good morning and welcome everyone. Let's pray and let's get started with this morning's classes. Let me just begin with the word of prayer. Heavenly Father, we thank and praise You Lord for another week, O God, where we will Father engage in Your Word and Lord we desire to truly grow, Lord, in our understanding of who You are and Lord we just pray that You will keep strengthening us, Lord, Father God, so that we can have, Lord, a powerful, powerful life, Lord, as a believer and a child of God. Father, we especially Lord come at this morning's class. We pray that, Lord, You will help us have all our understanding very clear, O God, so that it's easy for us to flow in the gift of the prophetic. We submit all things into Your hands, Lord. We speak blessings upon all the students, faculty and their families. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Okay, so we've been discussing about how to flow in the prophetic, the very practical aspects and we've discussed how maintaining Godly character, maintaining strong identity, these are all really key, whether it is the gifts of the Spirit or whether it is any other ministry that we do. So we'll continue today and we'll see what other things we should be mindful of when operating in the prophetic. So we stopped at this section that talks about knowing what the word says and it's on page 140. So let me just pick up from there. I was telling us that when we know the word, we can be sure that what we are hearing is from the Lord. So 1 John chapter 5 verse 7, where it says the Spirit and the Word agree because in some settings, we may think that the Holy Spirit will do whatever He wants. Alright? Or maybe that's the understanding when we see the work of the Spirit. He'll do whatever He wants and we have no idea about, you know, whether that confirms to the Word of God or not. But that's not true because the Word clearly says that the Spirit and the Word agree. So they have to be in agreement. So we can always check the Word to see whether what the Spirit is saying or the Spirit is doing is aligned to what has already been revealed. Now in the last class, we also said that not everything may be found in scripture, but it will be within the confines or the boundaries of scripture. It will not violate the nature of God. Okay? So at least that much we are clear about and so we can check and then based on that, we can interpret it, we can instruct that Word to someone, we can release the prophetic Word to others and we are sure that, okay, we haven't done anything which is outside of the Word of God. Now for us as believers and particularly as ministers, I know all of us want to be ministers of God and that's why we are here. It is so important to be careful about the doctrine, the understanding of the Word of God. So we find that even Paul, when he wrote to Timothy, he wrote in 1st Timothy chapter 4 and verse 16, take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them. For in doing this, you will save both yourselves and those who hear you. So he says continue, first take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. So for a minister of God, we have to constantly use the term self-policing, self-policing. So it is like we are checking ourselves. What is my faith? Right? What are what is my faith regarding the Word, the doctrines and all all the different things? And how am I as a believer, my my spiritual disciplines? So these are things that we mustn't wait for another person to come and tell us. We are constantly checking ourselves. Where am I? And when we feel that we are slightly going away, we have to come back. So to keep revisiting, even things like let's say prophetic, once we gain the understanding after this course, we may feel that, okay, now I know, now I'm able to flow and we may even be able to flow very powerfully, but it's good to keep coming back to the basics, keep coming back to the scriptures, like keep aligning yourself back to the scriptures. So then what happens is you know that the ship is anchored. It will not wander away and that we have to do for ourselves. That's why we call it self-governing or self-policing. And Paul told Timothy that Timothy, you have to be careful about what you believe, right? Take heed to yourself and the doctrine. What is it that you believe at all times? And just because we were very clear earlier, it doesn't mean that we can now start neglecting to keep going back and ensuring that the doctrine is correct. I still hold on to the right doctrine. I still hold on to the, you know, right values for the sake of my character in my ministry. So these are important things. So constantly self-policing oneself so that we can protect ourselves. And also another practical thing is to be open to listen to Godly people. We're not saying that, you know, you have to listen to everyone because feedback will come from everywhere. And sometimes some feedback is not even constructive. People just want to tear us down. So they'll keep saying things. Those things can break our spirit, but we have to guard ourselves. And we have to like, you know, check prayerfully, like, okay, God, what is it that is going to build me up? And especially when it comes from Godly people, you know, they may tell you, see, this, this, it's not good. Or you have to change this. Or why did you say there's something comes to us, right? It's so helpful. We must always be open to feedback like that. If we close ourselves to feedback, then we run the risk of maybe, you know, wandering away at some point because what we are saying is with that wall between us and Godly people and their suggestions, what we are saying is don't tell me anything. I'll do whatever I want. And that is very dangerous. So always keep that feedback open. And maybe even sometimes we can ask, I do that, like I usually ask, I know like a few people who will know about that particular, you know, when I'm speaking or sharing or something. So I'll just personally request them. Pastor, can you please review? Please let me know any feedback. So then what happens? At least you hear it early before you keep making the mistake again and again. And then you can correct yourself. So these are very practical things. Even in prophetic ministry, we can keep it if there is another brother or a minister of God who also flow powerfully, we can always ask them, Okay, hey, tell me, what is it? You know, they can give you, they can say, Hey, when you were, when you were ministering, when you were sharing, maybe you could have put it like this, maybe you could have put it like that. So it's very helpful for us to develop ourselves. So these are the things that we can put as a check to ensure that we are aligned to the word, we are aligned to the work of the Holy Spirit. The next important thing for us is to stir ourselves up. Okay, stir ourselves up. One of the ways in which we can stir ourselves up is by practicing the, the gifts of the spirit, other gifts, which may be active. And usually, you know, most of us, we know that tongues is like a common gift that we all operate in. So when we pray a lot in tongues, it makes it easier for the release of other gifts. Yeah, so that is so helpful. And we've studied about tongues, that tongues is to edify our spirit man. So to strengthen our spirit man also praying in the spirit for days for hours. It's so helpful, you know, if you can take that kind of time to pray, and we can set aside an hour or a couple of hours every day, more time during the weekend, we can have certain spiritual renewal days for ourselves in a month, we can set it aside, maybe take a day off, just pray, read the Bible. And you know, when we do all these things, what happens is that our spirit man will become stronger and stronger and more and more sensitive to the voice of God. Usually, the problem when we hear from God, one of the common problems is distraction. We get distracted, like, is it God? Is it me? Is it just my emotions? But what we say is, when we pray in the spirit, it brings down the noise of our soul. It brings down the noise of these distractions. We get more clarity on what the voice of the Lord really is. So praying in the spirit is very helpful. And we know Jesus said this, that prayer and fasting, it's so important for the believer. And we've understood in that context, I think Matthew 17, it builds faith in us. And when there is greater faith, can we move stronger in the spiritual gifts? Of course, we can. So build up the spirit man, strengthen the spirit man, build up the faith. And we also understand that prayer and fasting is something that the Bible says, you know, after the bridegroom goes, then they will fast. So the Lord Jesus is in heaven now, at the right hand of the Father, the church is supposed to pray, the church is supposed to fast. So these are things that we are supposed to do. And when we do these things, we will see a growth and an increase in all aspects, especially in the operation of the gifts of the spirit. The next one is worship. One, excuse me, one special incident is in Acts chapter 13. We know at that point in the church of Antioch, the leaders were worshipping, they were ministering unto God in verse 2. That's what we study. So when they were ministering to God, the Bible says the Holy Spirit said, the Holy Spirit said to set aside Paul and Barnabas for the work of the ministry for which they have been called. So when did this happen? It happened when the church was fasting, when they were praying, they were ministering to God. So when we are ministering to God, what could happen? The Holy Spirit, I mean, the Holy Spirit always speaks. But when we are seeking God to hear his voice, this is one of the things that we have to settle in our minds. If I want to hear from God, when I'm ministering to God, it can happen. God can speak, God can release the word. So even worship, ministering to God can do that. We can hear from God. Sometimes we are worshipping. And then we suddenly see some pictures, suddenly get an impression in our spirit. Maybe we were not even thinking that God, you have to speak to, maybe we didn't even ask that, but God starts to speak to us. So worship is another key thing that will help us flow better in the gift of prophecy. Next is desire, desire. Remember, Paul wrote earnestly desire. 1 Corinthians 12 verse 31. Again, he repeats himself in 1 Corinthians 14 verse 1 verse 38, where he asks the believer to desire. So what does this desire means? See, desire means to want, to expect, right? Joyfully expect to receive from God. So that expectation also activates the gift of prophecy. Now, if I go with an attitude, I'll never get it. You know, I'll pray, but it never happens to me. When we keep doing this, we could hinder the flow of the spirit. But the desire, I'm praying. I know I wanted. God will give it to me like a sense of wanting it and a sense of expectation. It will flow. It will increase. I know I'm going to be able to move in this. So then what happens? We are putting a pull on it. It's like faith, isn't it? So faith, what does it do? It pulls whatever God has already given us. It pulls it into our lives. So desire in that way is something that will cause the gifts to operate in our lives. And so, yeah, keeping that desire alive. The moment we say, I don't want it. It can shut the flow. I don't want this. Okay, in this time of prayer, let's just pray and close. I don't want any ministry of the spirit. You know, the moment we think like that, it'll shut the door on the flow. So to desire it every time to say, okay, God, even now you can speak, please speak. That will cause the flow to keep happening. Okay, now how to keep our desire alive? How to keep our desire, you know, like the fire burning about the gifts of the spirit? Okay, so to be connected to the word of God, prayer and fanning in or stirring, stirring up the gifts. Okay, good. Anything else we can do? Praying in tongues, fasting, how about learning about the gifts? When we study about the gifts also, there's a desire, right? Like we feel like, okay, I want this. So that again, when it comes to helping people become prophetic, like pastors, teachers, it's good to teach the people. Then what happens? You can make them desire it. If they don't have the basics of God's word, it'll cause them to wonder, have doubts, have confusion. Then also they may, they would have seen people operating in the spirit in the gift of prophecy and seen certain abuses and they might think, oh, I don't want that, doesn't look very nice, doesn't, you know, sound very godly. But when we teach, even then it can actually cause the desire to come in. Okay, so these are all ways in which we can desire the gifts of the spirit. But, you know, ultimately it's like loving God. So when we love God, we want to grow in Him, we want to be a blessing to the body of Christ, want to be a blessing to the people. Obviously we will desire, Lord, help me become better, help me to have all these gifts so that I can actually be a blessing to the people. So in this way, we can keep our desire alive. So along with desire, faith is the next element. Faith will cause us to operate powerfully in the gifts of the spirit. And we've already seen that the operation of the gift of the spirit is according to our faith, in proportion to our faith. So when my faith keeps increasing, then the manifestation of the gifts also will keep increasing. How to increase faith that we already know faith comes by hearing, hearing by the word of God. So meditate in the word of God, that is a primary way to get our faith. But apart from that praying, praying in the spirit, even our own experiences sometimes can build us up. When we see that, okay, I said this and actually there was it manifest, like God's power manifested in that person's life. Then what happens the next time I go to minister, I'm feeling stronger, like I'm feeling more confident. Actually, you know, God is working. So even our own experiences or other people's experiences, when we learn from it, it can be very constructive and give us a lot of confidence when we are ministering in the gift of prophecy. Okay, so it can build our faith. Okay, next is yield to what the Holy Spirit is saying or doing. So in 1 Thessalonians chapter 5 verse 19 and 20, the Bible says, do not quench the spirit, do not despise prophecies. So quench the spirit means it's we look at it something like, you know, when the water is flowing and we let it flow. Now, if we, if there's a big, you know, pipe and the water is flowing out of it, if I try to put my hand or, you know, just cause some hindrances for that water to flow, it will still have pressure, but then it'll, it'll get blocked. It won't be able to flow the way it should. So that is quenching, that is stopping or when a huge fire is there, what we sometimes tend to do, you know, people, yeah, pour some water or pour some mud, put some mud, you just stop the fire. So the Bible says when the spirit is working, when the spirit is moving, don't quench it, don't stop it, let it flow, let it burn. So in this way, for us to sense, which is the moment when the spirit is actually ministering, that becomes important. So when we recognize that the Holy Spirit of God is working, we've got to let him work. We also call it flowing with the spirit, flowing with the anointing. So in our spirit, we can sense, oh, right now God is doing a work of restoration. Okay, let him do, let him do, maybe someone singing a song of worship, go ahead, keep singing, right? Or the Lord is healing, words of knowledge are flowing from the pastor, from other leaders and all, just let it flow. So we've got to sense it. It's like, you know, when the waves are there, you've seen people surfing, they know which wave to catch and then they know how to surf on it. So it's somewhat like that. The waves of the spirit of God, when we sense it, we start to move with it, and it becomes such a blessing for the people. So when the spirit is moving, the Bible says, don't quench, don't stop, let him move. Similarly, don't despise prophecies. That means that when we hear a prophetic word, sometimes there is acceptance. If we feel it's reasonable, we are able to receive it, but if we feel it's so big or so unusual, then immediately the tendency is discard. This is not relevant, you know, discard. But what the Bible says is you can actually receive it. Don't despise it. Just listen to what that person is saying. Don't act on it because we've discussed about judging. We can judge. It could be true. It could be false. That we don't know. But when prophecies are coming in, don't, don't treat it lightly. If someone's saying a prophetic word, be, you know, thankful. We can just say, Oh, okay. Thank you. Thank you God. I've received this word. I'm going to pray about it. I'm going to see whether it was accurate or not. So we generally say, put it on the shelf. So we can just keep it. We may not use it. You know, sometimes people give us things which we don't need in our daily lives. We keep it. Maybe, you know, sometimes we suddenly need that thing. Then we take it and we use it. So it's somewhat like that. A lot of prophecies are coming, coming. Okay, let them come. No problem. Write it all down. Keep it aside. Say Holy Spirit reveal to me, which one is really from you and then help me to act on it. So don't despise it. Despise means treating lightly, not honoring or not valuing the prophetic word. So that should not happen in, you know, through our attitudes. So don't despise prophecies. Know how to administer the gift properly. So first Peter chapter four verse 10, where he says, as each one has received a gift, minister it to one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. Verse 11, if anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. So we are told that any gift that is given to us, it has to be ministered appropriately. It has to be released in a right way. So what is a right way? A right way is a way which will bless the people. A right way is a way which will honor and glorify God. So these two things should not be compromised. It should be done well. It should be done accurately. Then it will bless. It will bring honor to God. But if both of these are not happening, maybe the gift is pure. But you know, it causes confusion. People find it hard to accept. So all these issues will happen. So how do we do it in the right way? How do I release the prophetic word in the right way? And that's something we are already discussing, right? The practical aspects of how to do it. Next is walk in wisdom. So walk in wisdom again is what we have been repeating several times and we said we have to release the word at the right time in the right way. Because zeal without wisdom is dangerous. We get very passionate. Passion alone will not help. Passion has to go with wisdom. So passion with wisdom is like a super combination. So we have wisdom also and we are so zealous for the kingdom of God. And when we work like that, what we said earlier, it will be a blessing to the people. It will bring glory to God. Sometimes, you know, the passion makes us run ahead of God's counsel. We receive and we are so excited and in that excitement, we, you know, make some mistake. So excitement just functioning on the basis of excitement is not helpful, right? And obviously, right, when we are flowing in the gifts of the Holy Spirit, it's so exciting. It's really exciting because God is speaking to us. And, you know, there are real testimonies that are coming out of what God is doing. So when you're in all of that, it's quite easy to get carried away, which is why always staying anchored, anchored in the word, anchored in, you know, maybe even counsel of someone, hey, I heard this. How do I, how do I do this? How do I minister this word? Tell me what could happen if I go and tell them. So use wisdom, using wisdom will help us maximize what God is actually trying to communicate. Okay. So we always say that is something known as the art of implementation. Okay, the art of implementation. We can have brilliant ideas. There are so many, I mean, million ideas that people get in the world. But how many of them are actually done? You know, like maybe a business idea, right? But there are only one or two guys who actually have made that business happen and they're making those dollars. All the other people have the idea in their head. Idea in the head is good, but it won't help if it's not implemented, the art of implementation. So similarly, the plans of God, the communication of God keeps coming to us, right? It comes and what happens is we don't know how to apply it or we applied the wrong way. The moment we say it, this is the vision. We say it like the way we say it, people are like, I don't want to be part of that vision. So these are the challenges. So as a person who's flowing in the gifts, manifesting the gifts, communicating the gift, I can apply wisdom and see how best can I communicate it so that it can bring the maximum fruit from what God is trying to say. Yeah. Okay, any questions about this walk in wisdom? Like, walking in wisdom, like it, it sometimes more wisdom or our own wisdom some sometime leads into our own interpretations. Like, see, if someone came to me and asked, they wanted to know from God and they wanted me to pray for them. Okay. And they were just, they were just expecting a word from God or a prophecy. What is, what if our wisdom overtakes God's, like God speaking God's word, like if they are in some, in any program, they want us to tell something because of that inferior to the feeling that if he didn't receive anything from God, we may lead ourselves into our own wisdom speaking out of our own wisdom, out of our experiences. But it may, it may sounds good for them. But we know that, that really God spoke to us or our own wisdom we are sharing. Is that good or wrong? Yeah. So, see, that's where I know that self control. We saw in the last class, if God gives a prophetic word, we should speak. If he doesn't, we have to keep silent. So that scripture Jeremiah, it said, he who has my word, let him speak faithfully. So either we can give them that word and tell them, I don't hear from God. I just felt like telling you this. So we can tell them that and make it clear. Then it's okay. They can evaluate it and act on it. Or if we are not going to tell them that we can even just keep quiet. So that that will be hard actually, because they'll be expecting like, okay, say something, but then we are keeping quiet. You can just say, Hey, I didn't get any clarity from God. So pray, pray some more, just tell them like that. There is a line in between this. Yeah. And if someone comes with a problem, and if they're expecting us to say something, and if we interconnect this counseling also, like what we are learning the Christian counseling is very different. Like it's, it's, we make the other counseling to just think of the results. We are not giving any suggestions. So I'm a minister of God. So they were in a problem. They asked, they asked me to pray. So do I have to first receive from God? If I'm not receiving from God, can I suggest directly with my own wisdom? But if they are in a problem, if they are seeking for the counseling, and in the perspective of counseling, if you think we should not give our own suggestions, we should, I mean, help them to think Yeah, on their own. So there is a thin line in between three, this one wisdom God's word and then counseling. Correct. Yeah. See, again, it comes back to hearing from God only because in that moment, you can discern. See, I'll tell you one example. I understand where you're coming from. You know, in counseling, we, we don't, we just help them think. And we're not telling them what to do. They have to figure it out. So there was one particular incident where, you know, one person I was talking to for a while. But the funny part is they knew what to do. And it was almost going to be like a like more than a year from that time. They know what to do, but they're just not acting on it, just not acting on it. So how many times to meet, how many times to tell, how many times for them to acknowledge that, yeah, I'm supposed to do this. I'm supposed, but there was this element of fear that the person is just not doing it. So I also thought, what's the point every time we are having the same discussion and they're not doing it. So finally towards the thing, I just told them, look, we've been discussing this for a long time repeatedly. You know what to do, but you're not doing it. I think you should do it. I told that, right? I was not the only person speaking also. There were a lot of people. Finally, they did it, but it took so much, so much time, so much courage for that person to actually take that step. So I think we have to again discern from God, think about the welfare of that person. I know they only have to make the decision, but maybe sometimes people are caught in so much of fear that they are scared like, oh, that business. I can't or this I can't driving. I can't somewhere you have to be like, hey, I think you should you should do it. I feel like that's the right thing to do. So there is a time to tell also, Anand. Yeah. There's a difference between counseling and prophecy. Prophecy means we are hearing from God for the other person that we cannot compare with counseling. Yeah. So don't bring it into your counseling. Like if you're officially counseling sound, don't bring it into it. See in a pastoral role, right? As a pastor, we can be instructive at times. So with that opportunity, like, I put my foot down at one point where I was instructive. I said, I think you should do it. Yeah. When you say prophecies really mean to pray with each other and hearing from God. No. Okay. It's not like I'm telling if I'm I have to pray. I'm not telling the other person you use. You see what God is telling you. It's not that way. Yeah. So what Anand is saying is like, let's say God is not saying anything. Then what to do? We are praying for them only, but we don't have a word from God. Then what to do? Then can we tell them what we know from the word? It's more of an instruction. It's not a prophetic word that way. He asked, is it okay to tell? My answer was invariably, we don't write. We let them figure out, but there are circumstances where we have to tell for guidance sake. Sometimes we have to do that. If we are not hearing anything from God. Yeah. So can we what we read that day in the morning or something, whatever comes in our mind. We can. Can we share with them? We can, but tell them. It's not a prophetic word. It's just my understanding. Yeah. Yeah. Correct. So people come with the expectation and they want you to meet that expectation at all times, but unfortunately we can't. Yes. Like related to this question, what you said if we're not listening, like if we don't have a specific word from the word, we can instruct them what we know from the word. And sometimes can that be prophetic? Because instead of God speaking into us, can he helps us to share something that he had taught us or like something that we have from his word? Yeah. Sometimes we give the word, right? Sometimes we in our hearts, we have that impression of some scriptures, but some can it also be through wisdom of what we know from the word, the prophetic? Yeah, but generally we would just call it like an instruction. Generally. Yeah. So somewhere it could be that it's a word from God and we also are not sensing it. Yeah. Correct. But generally we will call it an instruction only, not a prophecy. So these are the things to bear in mind. Okay, so what are some hindrances? What are some things that can slow the flow of the prophetic lack of proper teaching? So that is obvious because we don't have a grip on what the word says and we don't know that we are supposed to desire the gift of the spirit. Lack of teaching can hinder the flow. Then sense of unworthiness. Okay, sense of unworthiness. So what is that sense of unworthiness means that when gifts are given, if we feel unworthy. Yeah, we find it hard to take it. We feel like, oh no, why do you want to give me? No, it's too expensive. So when we transpose this in the kingdom perspective, God is lavishing us with all these gifts of the spirit and you know all these things. But our understanding should be not that we are sufficient of ourselves. You know that scripture that pastor usually quotes 2nd Corinthians 3 5 that scripture says not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God. So we have a right understanding. Okay, we have the blessings because God is blessed us, not because we are anything great or all that. But with that understanding, we also recognize that now we have received a spirit of adoption and with that, we cry out about father. He's our father and he is lavishing us with blessings and gifts and all and we know that when we are zealous for the gifts, it will bless the body of Christ. So that's a right attitude. Then what happens? We are willing to receive the gift because we have a right attitude now. We are not puffed up. We are just saying, oh, my father is giving me. He's blessing me with all these precious gifts. It will be a blessing to the body of Christ. I'm going to flow in it. Right? So that one. But if we don't have that understanding, we'll that cell that sense of unworthiness. Oh, God is doing all this mighty things through my life. Oh, God, I'm not worthy. I'm not worthy. You know, we get stuck in that. I'm not worthy. God is saying, no, no, you're worthy. I made you worthy through Jesus, receive the gifts, flow in the gifts. But we are there, you know, causing the stop for the flow. So that's also something we have to work on. So how to work on it? Our identity in Christ. We say, no, you know, I am a child of God. I have, I am a partaker of the new covenant. Every blessing of the new covenant is mine. The spirit has been given, you know, to me, the, the anointing breaks every yoke. The anointing over my life will break the yokes that people come with, make declarations like that. Then you see powerfully how God is working. Not because we are great. No, never. Right? But God is doing his work through all of us different vessels. We are just making ourselves available. So that's the way to look at it. The next one is fear of making mistakes. So we understand this anybody who fears making mistakes will never do anything because mistakes are bound to happen, whether you want to cook or whether you want to drive some other mistake we end up making. But isn't that the way to learn? That's how we learn. So when it comes to prophesying, hearing from God, we don't want to make a mistake. That's a good result to have. I don't want to hear inaccurate, but there are many ways to test it out. Isn't it? We can always check with the word. We can always pray some more in the spirit and see, okay, do I have a witness of the spirit? We can have a third person judge the word of prophecy. So there are many things we can do to be more accurate. But just because that accuracy doesn't come right in the beginning. There is a tendency to make mistakes for me to say, I'll never prophesy. I'll never get into this thing of gifts of the spirit because I'll make a mistake. We can't, we can't do that. It's fine. Just start. Just start. Just step out. We'll learn. Okay, and there are things, key things, which as I've been saying, you know, we'll see. We do say that when it comes to big life decisions, if you're not sure, don't say it. You know, like in seven days, you're going to get a job in five days. You're going to get a promotion in six days. You're going to get married. You know, people will because those are big decisions and if the person is not careful to judge, they may make a mistake. But then to say things which will not affect them that majorly, which obviously if I'm hearing from God that, you know, God is good to help you become stronger in the word that you can say because that's more or less, you know, a general thing that all believers must have. So we can be careful. We are not telling like I'm saying this because last time there was that question, right? Like just it's not trial and error where you're like imagine, you know, if you think of the hospital and a doctor, if the doctor is doing trial and error, will you go? Nobody will go there because it's life threatening. Even in prophecy, it's very serious. We can't do trial and error over there. But all I'm saying is there are ways of learning to be accurate. And for some small matters, which obviously within myself, I know that the hundred percent I'm sure God is saying, you know, get deeper in the word and it will not affect that person negatively. If I just go ahead and release that word. So those kind of words quite easily we can share. But yeah, other words we have to be careful. Okay. The last one, I'll just touch on this and stop. Hopefully next class we can do practice. Fear of man. Okay. Fear of man, a Proverbs 29 verse 25. It says the fear of man brings a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe. So what is the meaning of this? The message Bible puts it like this, the fear of human opinion disables. I'm sure this has happened to or we've seen this happen to some children in school when the teacher says, okay, you speak. They'll just go on stage and freeze because they're so scared of the audience. They're so scared of the teacher. They're looking at people and what is their mind saying? What will they say? Will I make a mistake? And then they're not able to even speak a word. They just froze. That is the fear of man and that can happen even when it comes to ministry and flowing in the gifts of the spirit where we are wondering what will pastor say? What will this one say? What will that one say? And then we're not bold enough to release the word. So that is something we have to overcome spirit of fear. When that that setting is for us to release the gifts, go ahead. Release it. Don't let you know that the opinions of people around it should not become like a chain and a handcuff where we are not able to move. Okay, so the opinions of people are important, but they should not paralyze us. Fear of man. We are worried about people. What will they say? What will they do? How will they receive it? What will they say about me? So many thoughts actually go through our mind. Be strong in our identity. And then when we do that, we can overcome the fear of man. Okay, so with that, I think I'll stop. We've reached the end of time. If at all there's any question, we can deal with that or we can pray and wrap up for today. Next class, surely we'll have practice. Okay, fine. So let's pray then, pray and close. I just want to request, okay, Nikhil, you don't mind Nikhil, can please pray. Father, we thank you for this day, for this time Lord. Once again, we come to your presence, Lord, as what we have longed for. We can apply in our lives, Father, that gift of prophecy so we can flow in gift of prophecy, Lord Jesus. Help us to flow. Thank you, Father. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen. Amen. Okay, thank you everybody. See you. See you on Friday. Have a great week. Bye for now.
