 Yeah. Yes. So it'll be good if one of us can please lead in prayer and then we can get to our notes. Anyone who's comfortable to pray from where you are? Can I pray? Yes, please. Precious Father, we thank you and praise you and honour you God for this wonderful morning. We submit ourselves before your holy presence with Daddy. We ask you, Father, fill us with your wisdom and revelation and 85 or feet to God. And Lord Master, Lord Master, give us your understanding, give us your vision, give us your plan, or Lord Master, strengthen your servant as she's going to speak of God, Master. Let it from your throne room, Daddy. And also I ask you, prepare each one of your heart so that every word while she's going to release your Father. Let it be a good seed in our heart so that we can produce, O Father God, Lord Master, fruits for your kingdom and for your glory. Cover this entire session under your blood of God. All the glory and honour and praises belong to you. In Jesus' most holy and matchless name I pray. Thank you, Master. Amen. Thank you. Thank you, Shikumar, for leading us in prayer. So we will continue. We talked about transfer of the prophetic anointing in the last class and I remember there were some really good questions. And we understood that the anointing can be transferred. The anointing can be transferred from one person to another person. We also saw how it can be transferred across generations. We saw how the desire that one has is also in a sense instrumental in receiving the anointing. And the most important thing that we saw is that the anointing is from God. So it's God who gives the anointing so people can't give it to one another. So these are some of the key points about the transfer of the anointing. And one more very important point that we saw is that the anointing may not get transferred completely. Or when we look at a particular person and their ministry, they can have the anointings, several anointings to do what they need to do. But the same empowering may not come and rest upon another individual. Maybe parts of what you see in a certain individual can be seen in another individual. Depending on the next person's calling and purpose and the grace that God has given that person. And then we saw how prophetic ministry is very helpful in giving direction to leaders. Not just direction but just speaking God's heart to leaders even in their personal journey. And we've seen a lot of that in the Old Testament. And that encourages us. As we look at leaders today maybe in the political arena. We can hear from God for these people and we can impart the wisdom of God, the direction of God to leaders. So that also is encouraging. We looked at demonic opposition. We said well there is genuine prophetic ministry. You know Satan is he never has the original but he's only good at coming up with a counterfeit to the original. It's only when the original is so good that there is someone is wanting to make a counterfeit to that. So the prophetic ministry is real. And whenever there is genuine prophetic ministry in the Old Testament we've seen that there has been an opposition from Satan. So Moses we talked about that when he goes to Pharaoh's courts there he has sorcerers who try to compete with him. But we know that the anointing or the demonstration of the supernatural through Moses overcomes that of the sorcerers. And then we also see that we also see how Elijah is an individual who demonstrates the supernatural and the prophetic anointing through his life. And you have the opposition from the people practicing witchcraft under Jezebel. And the reality of this opposition was unmistakable because you find Elijah literally running for his life. And he also hid himself and came to an extent where he did not want to live anymore. So this was because of the kind of spirits and I explained to us last time that the Jezebel spirit that a lot of people refer to even today. It has to do with a demonic entity if you all remember when we did the sessions on believers authority and demonology. We said that the demons have hierarchy they have specializations. So when we talk about the Jezebel spirit it's a class of demonic spirits that engage in intimidating, controlling. Manipulating seducing spying spirits. So these are the activities of the Jezebel spirit. So obviously Elijah was being put down by these kind of spirits. But thank God we know how God encouraged Elijah and he came out of his depression. Moving on today we will look at a couple of other things from the Old Testament and if we completed then we'll quickly go to look at the New Testament and survey the prophetic over there. Here in our notes I am on page 43 where there is an incident in the section given here regarding public ministry personal obedience and ministry association. First Kings chapter 13. So here we see the story of a prophet who goes to prophesy to King Jeroboam. And the beautiful thing is that he prophesies and Jeroboam is not aligned to God. But when this young prophet brings the word of the Lord there is an obvious turnaround in the heart of King Jeroboam. And also there is a very real demonstration of God's power. Jeroboam he stretches his hand towards this prophet and it withers. And he is not able to pull it back. So the king knows that this young prophet is really from God and the word which is from God. So if you look at it there is some amazing prophetic ministry going on. The way we said that prophets would minister to kings. So here is this young prophet ministering to the king. And once he prophesies brings the word of the Lord. The king wants to honor the prophet. So he says okay you know how about I give you something. I give you a reward how about I give you something to eat and drink. But the word of the Lord given to this young prophet was to go speak the prophecy and then to not associate. To not associate with anyone and to just come back. So the young prophet takes that word very seriously and when the king offers him a reward and food he says no. I don't want any of that and he starts heading back to his home. But on the way in this passage you notice that an older prophet comes along and he lies to this junior prophet and says the word of the Lord came to me and why don't you come and eat with me, drink with me. But then this young prophet is aware that God told him eat no bread and drink no water. However because of the honor that he has for this senior prophet he goes with the senior prophet. And you know he eats he spends time fellowships with this senior prophet. And then what happens is that because it disobeyed God's word this young prophet actually dies. He is put onto a donkey to return back to his home from the senior prophet's house and on the way his death occurs. So from this incident what is it that we learn about prophecy, prophets and public ministry. See the beauty is that this young prophet was accurate. So accuracy cannot be questioned in his ministry. You can't question if he was really obedient to God because he was even the king. When the king told him to come and have a meal he refused. So that shows that his focus was towards God and that he was obedient to God. But what went wrong? You see ministry association, ministry association. Now it is true that we must honor the people who have gone ahead of us in ministry. But you know not above what God has spoken to us. What if this young prophet or the junior prophet responds to the senior prophet and says okay I can't. Like today I can't fellowship with you because I've heard from God. The young prophet knew what God had told him. And still he could refuse the king but he could not refuse his ministry association. And he spent time with the senior prophet. So there is a lesson here for us to learn. And the lesson is that we must be completely committed to the word of God. Even ministry alignment, ministry association should not cause us to go away from the word that God has. Spoken. And also another thing is the junior prophet may have had this desire in his heart that I must get connected to a senior man of God or a more experienced man of God. And when he met this senior prophet he tried to establish that connection. But the right way to have ministry associations is to be led by the spirit. So when the Holy Spirit guides us and says okay so and so person is somebody that you should be associated with. You should be working together with or ministering with. We go with that rather than you know our desire we say okay all these people are there. And I think I should connect with the X, Y and Z. So here is a lesson for us from 1st Kings chapter 13 about ministry association. The key thing is be obedient to God's word. You know whether we are really young in our ministry or we grow older in our ministry our focus should be the word of God. Okay now let's move right along to the next section here in our notes. Which says that in the Old Testament we find several expressions to indicate that God had spoken. Okay when you read these statements we immediately infer okay they are talking about the word of God being released to them. So there are some terms like the burden of the Lord or the burden of the word. So by this one understands that a prophet there are different prophets who have used these words. If you look in your notes here several verses have been enlisted. So I am not going to read each and every verse. There is Isaiah, Ezekiel, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zechariah, Malachi. You know the same term the burden of the Lord. So this is to say that there was a sense within the prophet where the prophet could perceive that God had released. You know in today's language we use the word download. Like you sense something has been put into your spirit. So those days the prophets expressed it in this manner and called it the burden of the Lord. I have received the burden of the Lord whatever you know it could be a word of judgment against Assyria, against this one or the burden of the Lord for something. So they would receive the burden of the Lord and by that we understand that the prophetic word or the word of God had been put into their spirit. So in other words it was why the word burden, the word burden just has to do with the deep sense of responsibility. So when you receive something that's heavy you know you can't pretend that it's not there. If it's heavy you can't carry on with the weight on your shoulders. You really have to do something about it till that weight is taken off and so that is the understanding. So when one received the burden of the Lord it was a deep sense of responsibility where the prophet had to communicate God's word to see a change. Whether it was in individuals or in a community. So the burden of the Lord is something that we hear about and also in some places we read that the prophets saw the burden of the Lord. Now these are all just ways of expressing that God had spoken. Another term or another phrase that is commonly used is the hand of the Lord. The hand of the Lord came upon you know Elijah, Ezekiel is another prophet where you read this expression a whole lot, the hand of the Lord. Now once again our understanding is that the prophet perceived the word of the Lord. Now imagine you know when we are standing and somebody sort of pats us on the back. We can recognize hey somebody's hand is on me and so you know you you don't you don't ignore it isn't it. There is the awareness of a person's hand on us. So similarly when the word of the Lord came to the prophets it all this is a way the hand of the Lord is a way of communicating that one has heard. Heard from God. Then the spirit lifted me. This is another expression and mainly I think in the book of Ezekiel you read a lot of the spirit lifted me you know from one place to another. Now people have these questions did he really travel physically Ezekiel or was it was it in just the visions is likely that he traveled in his visions. So when you read the spirit lifted me once again this was more of the prophetic word being released to Ezekiel. These are the expressions that we find and associated with the word being released to the prophets. There is this sense of seriousness. Shri Kumar I see a question I'll come to you there is a sense of seriousness associated with the prophetic word. Because you see you know just the way we saw the burden of the Lord when there's a burden it needs to be released. So the prophets were very very serious about releasing the word and they were serious about seeing situations and conditions turn around by the release of their word. Okay I'll just come back to Shri Kumar was that a question or did you. Yes please go ahead. Thank you. Pastor is it when Ezekiel was saying that he was lifted up is it you want to say that that it was actually not physically he was not transported or it was just the word was. Ezekiel was lifted up means it's not physically. Yeah so I mean most of the times it had to do with you know the prophetic realm Shri Kumar. Okay so in that case when Elijah was lifted up so and it was told that even you know Elijah you know it was actually he was actually even the even the even the you know disciples of Elijah said that he was always used to be lifted up and the Holy Spirit used to Spirit of the God used to leave him some other part of the location. So then and also when you see the Philips case that he was also physically lifted up and he was he was moved to a different location. And also yeah so these are few things even even if I ask about John in the book of Revelation he was also lifted up. And even the Paul also mentioned that he was also lifted up so is he not is there are we not you know even in Elijah's case are they not physically lifted up in that case. Yeah so that's what I'm saying Shri Kumar I'm saying like primarily when you look at you know Ezekiel the Spirit lifted me it's associated with the prophetic word being released to him. Okay so I'm not saying that it is not possible to be physically transported. It is very much possible to be physically transported. Okay so that is not being refuted. I'm saying in the case of Ezekiel when you read the instances that is more of you know vision. Thank you so yeah we can be physically transported. Okay great so now the next section here is about warnings and judgments. So many of us when we read of the Old Testament prophetic our mind is fixated on judgments because you have Jeremiah. You know prophesying okay come on if you don't repent this is going to happen to you Isaiah prophesying if you don't repent this is going to happen to you. So there's a lot of the judgments and warnings of God are coming to the people. Yes that does happen a lot in the Old Testament. However you know we must recognize that ultimately in the nature of God is love there is forgiveness. Okay so even in the Old Testament we see that people repenting turns God's judgment around. Okay the wonderful example would be the prophet Jonah. Now Jonah goes he prophesies to Nineveh and you know the people turned around isn't it? And Jonah was so angry because the word of warning and judgment which he brought to the people was not fulfilled. Why? Because the people repented. So yes there are warnings and judgments but you know the core nature of God which is of love that also comes across because when people repented the prophetic word was never fulfilled. Now another really nice example is from the life of Ahab. Ahab and Jezebel we talked about them in the context of Elijah and Ahab and Jezebel are known to be very very wicked rulers. Okay so God gets angry with Ahab and a word goes out through Elijah which you know prophesies and tells Ahab that he is going to die a very very difficult death. Okay so I'm just trying to find the portion there. Okay yeah it's right here let me read it for us it's in our notes. Okay so God tells Elijah the Tish fight. Arise go down to meet Ahab king of Israel who lives in Samaria. There he is in the vineyard of Naboth where he has gone down to take possession of it. You shall speak to him saying thus says the Lord have you murdered and also taken possession and you shall speak to him saying thus says the Lord in the place where dogs lick the blood of Naboth. Dogs shall lick your blood even yours behold I will bring calamity on you. I will take away your posterity and will cut off from Ahab every male in Israel both bond and free. I will make your house like the house of Jerobo and the son of Nebat and like the house of Bashar the son of Ahija because of the provocation with which you have provoked me in anger and made Israel sin. Okay so as you can understand it was a really hard word of judgment that came upon Ahab. However, do we see that Ahab heard these words he tore his clothes you know tearing one's clothes is an expression of repentance. So he tore his clothes and put sackcloth on his body fasted and lay in sackcloth and went about mourning. So basically Ahab is expressing his repentance. Okay and then you know you see that the judgment which came upon him it didn't have things didn't happen exactly the same way. But you know the judgment kind of it was toned down in a way. I mean at all it didn't come upon him at once but you know it kind of slowly unfolded on Ahab. So God did relent and God did change the kind of judgment that came upon a wicked person like Ahab. So you know yes the prophetic word in the Old Testament had to do with judgments quite a lot. But God always relented when people had a change of heart and you know people made a turn around and that's something we must remember. How does that apply for us in today's scenario? Again you know we will look at it when we study the prophetic word in our context you know releasing the prophetic word. Because sometimes people are very fixated on the word of judgment. You know any prophetic word that is spoken is a judgment. God is going to do this to you or this is going to happen to you. But you see generally that's not who God is isn't it? You know he is a God of love but yes there are instances that have to do with warnings and judgments. So we see that in the Old Testament. Now there are times when it is as if God refused to speak. We know that our God is a God who always speaks. He communicates to us but what caused him not to speak? One would be rebellion. In the case of Saul now we are all aware that Saul when he was anointed you know God had great expectations from him. However he went his own way and he engaged in things that did not glorify God. So towards the end of his tenure as king we find that Saul continued to inquire of the Lord. In 1 Samuel 286 it says that when Saul inquired of the Lord the Lord did not answer him. Either by dreams or by urine or by the prophets. So rebellion will keep God's word away from us. Okay and that's something for us to recognize. Again in the book of Ezekiel idolatry people being engaged in idolatry was something that really put God off. And when people inquired of the Lord the word of the Lord was not released to the people. So you know in general God is not a God who punishes by keeping silent. He never does that but we see these two instances idolatry, rebellion that God chose not to answer. Okay now how do we apply this in our context? There are times when we feel why is God silent or why is God not saying anything even though I'm praying about a certain matter. You see God if he's not speaking in a particular situation it might just mean that he wants to speak to us at another time in another way. So God is a God who speaks but if he's not speaking or if he seems to be keeping silent generally it means that he wants to speak to us at another occasion in another time. Okay so that's how we interpret that and we take it in our life context. Now what else is there in the Old Testament? The spirit of God moving through the Old Testament prophets. So there are certain New Testament scriptures that talk about the Holy Spirit releasing his word or inspiring prophets of the Old Testament. So the passage from 1 Peter 1 verses 10 through 12 you know that also talks about you know salvation. The prophets have inquired and searched carefully who prophesied of the grace that would come to you and then you know basically they talk about the revelation that came through the prophets. Also 2 Peter 1 verse 20 and 21 it talks about how no prophecy of scripture is of any private interpretation. You know even when we take the Bible the entire Bible all the books of the Bible we know that it was written by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. So in that sense it is a prophetic word. It is a prophetic word and also we notice how the Messiah, the life of the Messiah, the prophets released prophetic words to do with that. So all of scripture in that sense when we study it has a lot of prophecy in it and also you could say because it was all inspired by the Holy Spirit it is a prophetic output in that sense. Now coming to the difference between the Old Testament and the New Testament prophetic experiences. The Old Testament as we saw is quite dramatic. Not that today's experiences can't be dramatic. Yes even we could experience being transported, the Spirit lifted me, the burden of the Lord came to me, God's word was like fire in my bones. You know one could have such experiences but in general in the New Testament what we see happen is that we all have the indwelling Holy Spirit with us. And because of that the prophetic word you know many a time could just come in a sort of a simple way. And also we see in the Old Testament, just comment with us, someone's, sorry about that. I said that in the New Testament the Holy Spirit indwells us but in the Old Testament the Spirit of the Lord came upon people. Now the other difference would be that prophecy was limited only to the anointed. So you had the prophet prophesying or a priest, a priest, a high priest, people like them hearing from God in certain instances. However in the New Testament every single believer can prophesy. So those are the major differences. So at this point any questions, any thoughts. I'm just looking at the chat here and it says, okay so Shri Kumar is saying that our prophets who speak like Old Testament prophets in the church can be received there. So yes Shri Kumar, you know the delivery style can be very different. Some people could you know speak like thus as the Lord and you know it almost sounds like lightning and thunder. But as long as it's the prophetic word I think it's good. You can still receive it. And then there are others you know who might just say I was praying and this is what I sense this is going to happen. You just receive it. What's important is the prophetic word not necessarily the delivery. If we can focus more on the word than the style of delivery, I think that is good. Basri and Kish sometimes they speak like you know they release the judgment on the people and that is the thing I'm asking. Yeah, sometimes they speak judgment on the people because you know that you know the curse is coming. And it's like you know it's like for the new believers or like you know it is rather than edifying their faith as it is written that the prophecy should edify the faith. But sometimes it you know brings lot of fear in the heart of the people. So in that maybe their prophecies I'm not saying their prophecies will not be right. But the way how they speak judgments directly and in between their prophecies maybe right also. But in some cases that can you know bring rather than building their faith that can bring lot of fear in their heart. So in that case how can we deal the things. Thank you. Yeah, thank you. Really good question. See that's the reason we are studying scripture. Okay and from scripture we see that words of warning and judgment it is part of the prophetic. Okay now it is definitely part of the prophetic but in general okay we don't see God do that. So if I put it in a way that you can understand what I'm saying is 99.9%. You have you know direction, you have encouragement, you have things like that happening. But maybe a 0.01% is the warning that comes from God. Okay so when we see someone releasing words of judgment and warning constantly. We have every right to kind of say okay I'm shutting down this can't be from God. You know so we can have that maturity and we can be like okay forget it. You know God is not a God who is going around threatening people and making them scared and pushing them away not at all. Because that does not match up to the core of the prophetic that we are talking about right now. Okay so unfortunately a lot of people don't know and they listen and they take that word the sikomani. No problem and it really breaks the spirit and it draws them away from God. So the whole point of the prophetic is defeated. Very true, very true. Thank you. Okay I'm just looking at the chat here. Samuel I'll come to you. There are some questions where there are false prophets. Yes Kennedy there were false prophets as well remember when we first started we talked about the test of accuracy. And we said that there can be people who say thus says the Lord or in the name of God but what they're saying is incorrect. Okay so there were false prophets there are false prophets there are false prophecies. Yeah so that is dead. Anita prophet does not have to be honest. His character as in case of the one who was supposed to curse Israel. Yeah so yes Anita a prophet the character of a prophet is very important we will study about it later on as well. So when the prophet has character it's like the wine skin that holds the wine. The wine is the prophetic anointing. Now if the character is broken or the wine skin is broken the wine will not last very long. Eventually it will leak out and eventually it is not contributing to the growth the maturing of the body of Christ. So it's a very unfortunate thing. But yes the character of the prophet is important a prophet has to be honest. I hope that answers your question for now. Anita okay yeah she says yes. Okay Samuel coming to you please go ahead. Thank you pastor. Can you hear me? Yes yes very well. So pastor on the topic of the nature of prophecy which is when we look at the Bible we see the majority of the recorded prophecies that we have is about warning and judgments. Especially you know around people who seem to you know like God has chosen them for a purpose like like David. God's anointed him put him on a place and he seems to be going astray and God uses prophet Nathan to tell him that you've done something wrong. And similarly for Ahab and other most cases like God has chosen like Israel as a nation God's chosen body. And they are you know some some of the things they're doing wrong and then God uses this process to say like you guys are doing wrong. You guys are not working walking in God's way so repent come back and God's calling you back. And so but now what we say is that's kind of flipped. So the nature of prophecies now it's more it's not about warning and judgment like. It's very less the lesser percentage of the warning but it's more about God has this plans for you. God's going to bless you. God's going to use you for me. So it's it's it's more on encouragement and less on warning. So I mean I'm thinking like if if if we were to replicate what was happening in the Old Testament so that a direct similarity would be. I mean I think it's like let's say there's there's there's a really great chosen body of like a church of God. You know something like a mainstream church and all that but they and they've gone to a heights of success. And but some of the things in that you know they're mismanagement of that and and God would I would I would think like God would choose a prophet to talk to the leaders of that church and saying like. You know we bless you and you guys have become big now but you've lost your way and and repent come back things like that. But we don't we don't see that we don't see that but all the prophecies that we see happening is more about God's going to increase you more bless you more. So so has like so is say a is is is that a real change and is there like is it is it because what Christ did on the cross. Is it because of that that the nature of prophecy has changed from warning and judgments to blessing and prosperity is that and is there like a biblical. biblical you know reason or biblical scriptures to to kind of back up this need this this change of the nature of prophets. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you Sam. I see where you're coming from so I'm not saying that the nature of God has changed or the nature of prophecy has changed. That's not what I'm saying. What I'm really saying is that when it comes to the release of the prophetic word if there is a judgment required or a warning required that does happen. Okay. So it definitely does happen. Now looking at the context of the New Testament believer or the post New Testament believer as you rightly put you know we are in the era of grace. So it's not so much as your Old Testament prophecy you know the warnings and things like that because we can go to God we can ask for forgiveness and you know our sins are forgiven through the Lord Jesus Christ. And when it comes to the release of the prophetic word. I am talking more. Okay. Right now I was talking more in terms of the simple gift of prophecy as we saw in first Corinthians 14 and verse three. Exot edify comfort. So that is your simple gift of prophecy. However, we will we will study the progression of the prophetic so going from the simple gift to the prophetic ministry to the office of the prophet. Invariably it is something that is done at the level of the office of the prophet the warnings the judgments you know that there's more of that in the office as compared to a simple gift. So generally the simple gifts are more like hey you know God God is blessing you. So that's how God tends to speak for whatever reason. And for us like we are going to be practicing more of the release of the gift isn't it. So we don't have to get maybe once or twice God might give a warning to us. And again why does God give us that word of warning to bring that person back not to destroy the person. See I'll tell you I still remember in the weekend school pastor gave this example. Somebody went and told a young man. This is a prophetic word okay praying over a young person you imagine how it will be. He's praying over that boy and saying this is that says the Lord in two months. You are going to meet with an accident and you are going to die. This is going to happen that is going to happen and at the end of that word that boy is shaking. He's like are you serious am I going to die in two months. Now it has not built him up in any way. I think he came and told pastor I don't really exactly remember the word and the context. But yeah that's something that happened and then pastor said okay don't worry about it. You just keep it aside you begin to see God and you just continue to pray. He lived way beyond those two months and he did very fine and you know whether the prophetic word is accurate or not the fear that it brings into your heart might give you a sickness or might cause you to die. Now obviously things like that are not from God but unfortunately words like that are being given to people. You're going to die you're going to have an accident you will have a divorce like that's not God. That's definitely not God you know so what I'm trying to say is when the warnings come and the judgments come. It's very obvious you know when a people have gone astray from God they are repelling and we'll also see when we talk about the releasing of the prophetic word we'll try to stay away from warnings and judgments. We leave it to the people in the prophetic office or the prophetic ministry. We may in our lifetime get a few words of judgment correction here and there but invariably you know it would be words of encouragement comfort. That you know you and I receive as a gift of prophecy so does it make things a little clearer Sam. A bit but I think yeah but my major question is around and one is like the I think generally the nature the format of the prophecies of warning and judgment is because you did this so even even for David it was like because of this sin. This is what's going to happen. You know so it's not directly like you're going to have an accident like for no reason but but like you know because you astrayed from God because you've done you allow this idol to come in or this sin to come amongst you because you entertain a person who is doing this. God's going to bring this. So that that was one but the other thing is like just that that that thing like God using prophets to bring out the hidden sins of especially his people we don't we don't get to see much of that. And I am thinking like if we did here then that that would also be like OK God is showing me the idols that I am like God is showing me my blind spots and I realize that and that is definitely an edification but but we don't get to see that so. Yeah yeah so that's also because we have the Holy Spirit who does the work of you know convicting us of righteousness sin and judgment. So a lot of that is going on within the believer already. I see that yeah that that makes a lot of sense. Thank you. Okay yeah thank you. We have about two minutes and I see two hands raised so I hope you can quickly accommodate these questions. Ashik Kumar please go ahead. Thank you pastor pastor. As you said about the false prophets. I just want to know one thing that this is the is that the only parameter where we say that speak that you'll see the accuracy of the prophecy. So in that case that is the only case then when the when the Paul and the Silas was prophesied by that the that girl when you know she was possessed with the spirit of divination and she said. That these are the servants of God. So that prophecy was accurate actually there is nothing wrong in that that prophecy actually so if you if you take that to the accuracy is the only parameter to to find out that this is a false prophet or the true prophet. Then how can I able to know that you know. Because this this this person also speaks the right thing like no as I said about this Paul and Silas that girl spoke the right thing only they were the servants of God. And that she has not prophesied anything wrong. So so how can we you know come to a conclusion that this is a false prophecy or this is or this is a false prophet or this is the true prophet of God. Yeah, yes, Shikumar good question and Shikumar. If you remember earlier we have touched on this. We said that it's not just the accuracy but you know whether or not that word draws you closer to God. So if you could just go back to our notes here and look at it. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Okay, so it's not just the accuracy of the word but it's also what that word does to our relationship with God. That's also very, very important. Okay, I say. Yeah, sure say what would you like to ask. Not so worry Mark. I think because of time already maybe next. Yes, maybe next class. Okay, fine. All right, so we have none of time, but I think all this is a good start. So we will look at the New Testament incidents and you know things about the prophetic in the next class and then keep moving forward from there. But I think we might move a little faster because we have to complete the prophetic as well as the apostolic. But yeah, it is going to be a good journey together. So let's close with a very quick word of prayer. I request someone to pray please and then we close. Say can you please pray? Our Father in Heaven we thank you Lord for this class we've just heard and we thank you for an instructor who you've used a lot to instruct us to teach us. We pray that for all that we are learning, Lord we pray that you will build us Lord in your word Lord to be used as verses to bring words that will build words that will defy words that will comfort as we prophesy into the lives of people. And that we pray that will be more attuned to the spirit Lord to be convicted of everything that Lord your speaking Lord through your prophets unto our lives that they are indeed from you. And we pray that as we continue Lord in this class Lord we pray that we will continue to grow more and more in the knowledge of what you have called us into in our lives Lord. Thank you Lord as we go for next class give us the grace and give us the wisdom Lord to understand all that will be taught in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. Amen. Thank you. Thank you Sayyid. Thank you everyone. Have a blessed day and we'll meet again next week. God bless. Thank you Pastor. God bless you too. Thank you Pastor. Thank you. Thank you. Bye. Bye. Bye.
