 Good morning and welcome everyone. Let's pray and we'll study further about how to flow in the gifts of the Holy Spirit, particularly the gift of prophecy. So let's begin with the word of prayer and I want to request one of us, anyone either on campus, online batch kindly lead us and then we can start off. Our gracious Heavenly Father, Lord, we thank you for this dear Lord Father, we thank you for helping us, Lord Father, together here, Lord Father, to study and to learn from your word, from your teachings, Lord Father. Lord, we submit ourselves into your hands, Lord Father. Help us, our Holy Spirit, God, to give us a new revelation of understanding the prophetic and also, Lord, you give us a practical instructions on how we can apply it in our lives, Lord Father, you give us the wisdom, we submit everything into your precious hands. In Jesus' mighty precious hand, we pray. Amen. Amen, amen. Thank you. Thank you, friends. We started chapter 8 in our notes where we are learning how to activate the gift of prophecy and some basics we have looked at, where we said that all believers can operate in all nine gifts of the Spirit and we also established that all believers can prophesy. We looked at a couple of aspects such as even though the gift is there in us, it needs to be stirred up. So if there is a neglect of the gift, then we can probably diminish the, or rather we will diminish the flow of the gift or it will not flow as freely or as powerfully as God has intended. We've also seen that gifts can be activated and imparted. That means that even though the gifts are from God and they are pure, there is this transference that can happen or the developing of the gift that can happen. So originally it's from God. We cannot give and take the gift but once God gives the gift, it can definitely have some sort of human involvement in the sense that people can train other people on how to flow better in the gifts of the Spirit, prophecy and all of that. So we've discussed that. We saw that faith is very important. Without faith, we cannot operate in the gifts of the Holy Spirit and we saw something very basic, the work of a prophetic word from 1 Corinthians 14-3. We saw that it is meant, the simple gift of prophecy is meant for edification, exhortation and comfort and a believer can flow in other aspects such as giving direction, correction, warning from God but generally these are seen in the grace gift of prophecy in the office of a prophet but when it comes to the basic or the simple gift of prophecy, usually it's the first three that we talked about from 1 Corinthians 14-3. Then we quite elaborately saw that all of us can prophesy. We saw that prophecy is not about saying everything about a particular person. There could be parts of the message that are spoken and finally the other aspect that we looked at is all prophecy must be judged. So it's not like anything anyone says is final and then we can make our decisions based on that. So that much we have seen. Now a few other practical aspects that we are going to look at. So the next one here, I'm on page 132 in our notes. This section states that how and when we deliver the message is in our control. We are going to look at two scriptures here which is also in our notes. 1 Corinthians 14 verse 32 and 33. Could somebody please read it out for us? Two scriptures. 1 Corinthians 14 verse 32 and the spirit of the prophets are subjected to the prophets. For God is not the author of confusion but of peace as in all the churches of the saints. Excellent. So that first part there of verse 32 says, spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. And this is something to remember. Usually our understanding when it comes to the baptism in the Holy Spirit, the flow of the gifts of the Holy Spirit can sometimes be that when the Holy Spirit is working through us, we lose control. And why do we say this? Because in many settings we have seen that people may lose control of their body and sometimes they are overwhelmed and the way the baptism in the Holy Spirit or flowing in the gifts of the Spirit is expressed can be quite varied. So based on this, we feel that whenever the Spirit is stirring us up to say a prophetic word, maybe we will just get pushed as if God is holding us and the word is coming out and you cannot keep your mouth shut. So that kind of a thought is there that if God is speaking, one has to release it and they cannot hold it. But that's not the fact because verse 32 says, the spirit of a prophet is subject to the prophet. So how we are going to control our spirit or how we are going to deliver the prophetic word is in our hands. Now somebody could be shaking and they can speak the word, somebody could be shouting and speak the word. When it comes to our understanding of the charismatic, it can be quite crazy, isn't it? So once I remember one pastor he mentioned that flowing in the gifts of the Spirit, it's as if people are shaking, rolling, hanging on the fans. I was like, hanging on the fans? How can you say that? But the point is he was saying we associate it with being out of control to an extreme. But that's not what the Bible says. The Bible says that the spirits of the prophet are subject to the prophets. Meaning no matter how much I'm filled with the spirit and overflowing with the spirit. Yes, there are some times where we sense that like, you know, you're feeling overwhelmed and you really are not expressing the way you usually do. That happens. That's true. But in general, that that's that nature of controlling ourselves is possible. That's what the Bible says. Right? So how we deliver the message. Now, if we are hearing from God, and you know, that that word is a word of correction, just an example. Now, if I call it out from the pulpit, you know, and just shout at someone and say, this is what the Lord is saying to you. You know, your life is sinful. You need to come clean before the Lord and this and that. And if I give this excuse that I know I felt by the spirit, I could not control the prophetic word just came out. That wouldn't be right because that setting is not the correct setting. Isn't it? So even if I'm sensing that word, I will have to think that okay, I'm hearing from God. But what does the second verse here say? It says, for God is not the author of confusion, but of peace. So when I speak like that out of control, out of timing, it will cause confusion. But God is not the author of confusion. And so we can exercise our wisdom and operate, you know, in such a way that we very fitly bring the word at the right time. So that is very much possible. It's not like flowing in the gifts of the spirit means we are out of control. We are not. And bringing a timely word at the right time Proverbs chapter 25 and verse 11 puts it beautifully. It says a word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver. A word fitly spoken meaning a right word at the right time is priceless. So that is also something that we must develop ourselves in. So we can think and release the word at the appropriate time. That's the point. So if you have any questions or anything to interrupt with, you can always just stop me. Okay, I'll keep moving on. Okay, next one. Oh yes. Okay, there's a question. I've heard like some of the pastors was speaking like this man when they were when they filled with Holy Spirit when they were doing a few things. And they usually tell we are not like in our what in our consciousness, then very commonly people use this word, right? But what word in one Corinthians 40 and interesting subject to problem. Yeah, see, point is the Holy Spirit will not control us. It's it feels overwhelming. I'm sure all of us have felt that way at times when you want to minister it feels like God's presence is taking over you. But you see, it will not override your your abilities. That's the point. But we always have the capacity to to be in control. You know, and yeah, that's something we have to practice, I suppose. Yeah. Yeah, like how what what exactly jumping running. Yeah, go outing. Yeah. Yeah. See, we are not saying that, you know, sometimes the expression is beyond us. Like, for example, if I'm the kind of person, I don't show my emotions, but I'm feeling so overwhelmed by the presence of God. Maybe I start crying. I can't hold it back. I can't hold back my tears or, you know, something else like that. There are also times when the presence of God is so thick, people are not able to stand, maybe they just sit down or something like that. In general, this is like a one-off thing here and there. Right. But overall, overall, we can learn to to work in that state in control. Yeah. Holy Spirit will never, he's a spirit of God who will never control us. Never. You'll never be out of your free will. You'll never be out of that place where you're thinking, oh, somebody's making me do this. No way. No way. Exactly. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Correct. See, if I want to share a very powerful prophetic word, okay, that might change somebody's life, I might just say, I sense that God would be saying this to you. And that's it. The prophetic word changes their life. Or I can shout at the top of my lungs like, you know, this says a lot, this and that. But it's totally my thing, my choice, how I want to do it. Yeah. But I can't say Holy Spirit got a hold of me and shook me up. So I just shouted, it's not like that. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Not satisfied. Okay. We will continue the questioning later. Now, let's go to the next section. So prophecy can flow along with other gifts. And this we've already set. Little bit prophecy, a little bit of word of wisdom, discerning of spirits, everything is happening at the same time. So we can't stop the Holy Spirit from releasing those best gifts which are needed for ministry over that person. So we can be open. And though we know the classification, it's just for our benefit. It's not to get so stuck in it that, okay, what is this gift? What is that gift? Okay. Don't worry. The person is being blessed. So just keep flowing. The next one is to not be too hasty to use thus says the Lord. So can we use this as a lot? We can. But the times when we need to use it, we have to be very sure because whenever we use terms like thus says the Lord, what we are saying is God is saying like don't question it. That's it. Okay. So every time if we say thus says the Lord, thus says the Lord, in a way what happens is we are telling people that you can't question it. God said it. Don't question it. Got it. Yeah. Okay. Go ahead. You can ask. Even if we go and say a word of encouragement, like little word of prophecy, it is coming from the Lord itself. Correct. Correct. See we are saying it because it's coming from the Lord. Okay. That is understood. Even if we don't say thus says the Lord, it comes from the Lord. True. It comes from the Lord. But you see the other aspect is giving people permission to test it. So the language that we use also makes a difference. So when I put it as, see the word is genuine. It's from the Lord and I'm 100% sure that's why I'm telling the person. But what happens is the language, if I say, yeah, I sense this is what the Lord would be saying to you or I feel that it gives them permission automatically to think about it. Look for a confirmation, you know, to be doubly sure what we said earlier, judge all prophecies to be judged. Okay. Because also what happens is a lot of people now we are sitting and discussing about prophecy. So we are understanding many things, but maybe somebody who's walking up to us does not have any understanding the moment we say thus says the Lord, you know, quit your job. The person may not think they'll straight away go quit their job. Got it. So people act on the basis of what we are saying and we have to be so careful like, you know, what they do sometimes these are life decisions. So it is generally better to say, I sense, I feel, I think this is what the Lord would be saying to you all that. But in a moment where God wants us to speak emphatically, let's say, you know, someone is turned away from the Lord and you strongly sense in your spirit. I should not say I sense, I feel, I have to say thus says the Lord in that moment, say it because then we can grab the attention of that person. So that is how we will present it because there can be consequences based on how we present the word. Okay. So any questions about this? So yeah, please use the mic to discuss. This is a real conversation what had happened in between one pastor, one of my dad's ministry. So there is a, I mean, on this prophecy it was actually happening. So what I said is if it depends upon the individual who is communicating, God is true, what he want to tell, he'll communicate. But it depends upon the person who is communicating. What he said is what he was asking me is if God told you something about a person. Yes. So he'll be in control of you, right? Why you will communicate in a wrong way. God is telling you and God told you to just comfort one person. It's a prophecy. It's not a normal thing. Correct. So if God told you, I want you to quit the job. So if he really told that. God will be in control of me, right? When I am speaking with that person also. So how come it will go wrong? Yeah. So see what we discussed a little earlier, we said that we are in control. God is not controlling us to manifest the gift. You understood. So because God is not controlling us, there is this element of human judgment. There is the element of human presentation. Okay. So we will look at the following sections a little later on where we notice that there can be biases. There can be something that comes from my fleshly understanding of the pure word of God. Right. And it can actually influence the pure prophetic word, which is why we have to allow that space for the prophetic word to be judged. So the moment I say thus says the Lord, what I'm saying is don't question it. Okay. It's it's clear cut. It is absolute. It is perfect. Don't question it. And if it has to do with, let's say a very serious decision, right? Then the person will be in trouble. So see your, your underlying point was that God is in control, right? But what I'm trying to say is the word is from God, but God is not controlling us. Yeah. Yes. If God wanted to speak something with me. Okay. So in between, he's using you. Okay. So I mean, from, if we, if we, if we understand in this perspective, if you think in this perspective, God wanted me to know. Okay. Then he'll, he'll somehow he'll, he'll let me know right through you. Yes. So that is what prophecy is, isn't it? Like God speaking through man, God is trying to let you know something. But what is it that we are now discussing about the accuracy of the word? Okay. See, I'm going into sections where we will talk about right motivation. Right motivation depends on whom is dependent on God or is it dependent on us? Yeah. Right motivation depends on us. Right presentation depends on us. So there are many aspects that depend on us. You got it. So it's not like in every prophetic word, God is controlling every person who's prophesying and it's absolutely correct. Then everybody must be correct. Then there's no need to develop and judge and all that. So those are the concerns. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. So we look at it. We look at the, you know, some examples, it will become more clear. Okay, Anand. But you got the idea. Right. So God is not controlling the whole thing. And so we can't be. Yes. Yes. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. So we look at it. We look at the, you know, some examples, it will become more clear. Okay, Anand. But you got the idea. Right. So God is not controlling the whole thing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we have experienced people saying something, but that not coming to pass. But the thing is like most of us as believers, we don't understand that maybe the person is hearing it correct, but then there are so many other things that come into the presentation. See one classic example that we use is imagine, you know, we want to prophesy. And when we are praying for a person, we see musical notes. Okay, we will come to all this later, but I'm just telling you, if I see musical notes and let's say, you know, I'm prophesying over one of us and saying that God is going to use you mightily to be a worship leader. God says the Lord this and that after everything is over, the person says, first of all, I can't sing. What will you do? I like him. I tell you, like I've never sung. I just cannot sing. And you told me I'm going to be a worship leader. Is God showing me wrong? God is showing musical notes. I'm sure 100% sure I'm seeing musical notes. So you see what's happening is it's not the person is wrong, but there's an issue in the interpretation. Maybe that person owns a let's say an instrument shop. Got it. So he does not have anything to do with singing, but he's dealing. He's selling instruments. So that is the right interpretation. So there is always a human element, which is why the prophecy needs to be judged. And human element is not because we are wrong. We have wrong motivation. No, sometimes it's a simple issue. Interpretation was not correct. So such things, that is why saying that says the Lord should be sparing sparingly. We must use it. Fine. So let's move on how to release prophecy in the right way. So firstly, we need to have the right heart, proper motivation. There is a scripture, 1 Corinthians 14 and verse 12, which says, Even so you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, let it be for the edification of the church that you seek to excel. I think it's self-explanatory. It's just saying that we must not have any personal agenda. To promote ourselves or to, you know, gain fame. See, whenever there are ministries that have to do with standing in front of people. If we don't have the right motivation, we could end up deriving our identity from people's approval and, you know, from the validation that comes from people. But that's a very dangerous thing. Very dangerous thing. Okay. But let's say we want to grow in the gifts of the spirit. Why do I want to grow in the gifts of the spirit? That's the question. Why? There's only one answer so that we can, yeah, glory of God, edification of the church. That's the answer. So whenever I'm flowing in the gifts of the spirit, why 1 Corinthians 14, 12, edification of the church? I want to get better and better because I want to edify or strengthen the church, strengthen the believers. That's the idea. Okay. Now coming to separating our spirit from personal experiences. Sometimes in our ministry, we have certain experiences while praying for people, while prophesying. What happens is that it's really good because we, on the basis of our experience, we can do it more accurately this time. Okay. Maybe we see a similar picture and we are able to interpret it better. So experiences are helpful, but experiences can also be a hindrance. And what, I mean, let me give you some examples for that. See, based on our life experiences, we may interpret wrong if we are not careful. For example, we see a young person who is very passionate about ministry. And while we want to input and strengthen that person, we are releasing a prophetic word. And maybe in our experience, let's say my experience, I quit my job to serve the Lord. So if I'm not careful, I'll bring my past experience into that prophetic word. And I tell that passionate young person, God is calling you to quit your job and serve the Lord. Maybe that's not the case. That's not needed for everybody, right? But wherever I go, I may keep using my experience to minister to everyone. So that is the problem. So if you've had a certain experience or let's say we've had a problem with an authority figure, then in my prophecies, I'm always saying you can't trust people. You know, you can't trust, you can only trust God. Why am I saying that to everybody? Because that's my personal past experience. And I feel like that is what everybody's experience is. So then that becomes a problem. So while prophesying, each time, take it as a unique thing that God is sharing. Okay. This time, what is God saying to this person? What is God saying? And we don't want to be influenced by our past experiences. Then next section here, separate your spirit from personal prejudices. And we've shared about this earlier. We said, you know, if we have a certain understanding that people who had such kind of clothes are rich. Okay. People who have this kind of clothes are poor. Then we go with that understanding when we are praying prophesying for them. But that is our personal prejudice. That's not what God may be saying. So we have to be so careful to flow in an authentic way. Who I am, my experience, my bias. Or, you know, here a pastor has given one example where maybe a lady who's had a, you know, a very difficult marriage is finding it hard to trust her husband or respect her husband. So when she prays for other women, she might say, okay, you know, men are like this, this and that. But that need not be the case. Personal prejudice is affecting what's coming out, what is flowing out of our hearts. And it's also affecting the prophetic word. So these are things that we need to be very careful about. Or let's say, you know, personal prejudice carrying a very judgmental spirit. Let's imagine, you know, somebody is a perfectionist and they will accept nothing less than perfect. That's how they've always lived their lives. So even when it comes to relating with people or speaking a prophetic word, maybe at times the word may come across very judgmental. Like, until you do this, God will not bless you. Until you do that, you know, God will not bless you. He will not accept you. So judgment, judgment, judgment is always coming from prophecy like fire, brimstone, like get ready. That's all, it, maybe it's always the case that someone's always speaking judgment. But why is every prophetic word judgment, you know, okay, maybe primarily God is releasing such prophetic words through a person. But is there a personal prejudice involved in that? So these are all reasons why all prophecy must also be judged. So point we are trying to make is the kind of person that we are can affect the prophetic word. I have to be careful. My personality, my experience, my prejudice should not hit touch the prophetic word. It must be released purely. On this, on this, depending upon the way your prejudices you are telling, right? And is there a like that, like depending upon the family situation, like some bastards will tell like I saw, I saw some the things you are going through a few things. So God is telling me to tell you to, to conduct a seven days prayer, seven weeks prayer. So they, because of their family, see this pastor goes to a particular believer's family. They'll tell all their problems. Okay. And then this pastor will tell like God is telling me to just keep seven days prayer, seven weeks prayer, and all these and all will tell. Yeah. Yeah. See, not all of it is false prejudice, possible, possible. See, let's say if they got used to that, then maybe that's what they would say each time seven days for some. It's good. Yeah. Maybe that's from them. Correct. Yeah, possible. Yeah. So you see the next part over here. It states commit to speaking faithfully or remaining silent. Okay. So there is a passage from Jeremiah 23. We will read two verses verse 16 verse 28. It says, Thus says the Lord of hosts, do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They make you worthless. They speak a vision of their own heart, not from the mouth of the Lord. So can a prophet speak something which is not a prophetic word? Yes, it can happen. Verse 28. The prophet who has a dream, let him tell a dream. And he who has my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat says the Lord. So two things. If somebody has a dream or let's say if somebody has a prophetic word, let them speak the prophetic word. If they don't have the prophetic word, what to do? It says that he who has my word, let him speak my word faithfully. So here is the test. And what you asked, right? The test. What is the test? If I have a prophetic word, when I'm praying for a person, I can speak the prophetic word. But suppose I don't have a prophetic word, then I can speak the word of God. So what you said, pray for seven days, pray for 21 days. It's fine because what a prophet may be doing is just giving them godly wisdom. Like if you pray, your breakthrough will come. Isn't it in the word? It is there in the word. And it is also wisdom from our minds. Got it. See, I remember this one experience. So at some point, like, you know, there was a friend like she was in a relationship and she was like, is it from God? Is it not from God? Is it from God? I need to hear from God. You know, that kind of a state and everywhere she was looking for a prophetic word. Like maybe they will lay hands on my head and they'll just say, yeah, this is the right person for you. So that was going on. So we all went for one prayer meeting where they were prophesying and we had to stand in lines and they were prophesying. So one of the ladies there, she was so wise. She prayed for this girl and she said, look, I can't tell you because I'm not hearing from God. Whether this is the right person or not, I can't tell you, but I can give you the wisdom of God. And then she asked her, like, how old are you, you know, and what about this person and all. And she said, okay, this time is just not appropriate. And that person was an unbeliever, by the way. So she said, look, doesn't the word of God say, don't be yoked with an unbeliever. So this is and but good thing is she told clearly. She said, I'm not prophesying. I'm telling you with the wisdom of God's word. This is not going to work out for you. Okay. Because that's what the word says. It's not a prophetic word, but I am telling you it won't work out for this, this and this reason based on what I know from scripture. And she asked, I mean, that was the prayer time. She just prayed the word over the girl. So it's okay. We can pray the word also because sometimes God may not say anything new. And in this section pastor so beautifully, he writes, he says, the test is not just speaking the prophecy. The test is also being silent when there is no prophecy. You know, do we have that strength in us to remain silent and say, actually, I didn't get anything from God. So let me just so in those moments, how to pray for people just pray the word. Pray the word, you know, pray the scriptures, pray the blessings like that. You can just pray and close. Okay. So that is also fine. So if you have a dream, then speak the dream. If you just have the word, then speak the word faithfully. That's what Jeremiah chapter 23 and verse 28 says. So we should not get into this. You know, it's like people are in that mode. Prophecies have to flow prophecies. I mean, if only God wants to say something, he'll say no. And if he's not saying, then what can we do? You just go with what you already know from the word of God. Like the one example you gave, like can we take like this? It's other than the prophecy. God had given all the commandments and all the, he told all the ways how to live, how to get married to whom we are to choose. We have everything in the word. So before we are going out for the prophecy, first we can go to the word. Exactly. Yeah. That's true. Yeah, that's true. Spend a lot of time in the word. Go to the word first. Anyway, the word is there. Like if we never had an additional word of prophecy, his word is already there and guiding us and leading us. So that's correct. Okay. Yeah. So that's the thing. Like if you, if we hear from God, then speak it. Otherwise, speak the word of God, but don't say something and simply call it prophecy. If it is from my heart, then you saw how God says these people, they speak their own thing and they make the people worthless. That also shows that we are not respecting the people. Like as if, you know, they are very foolish. We can say anything and get away with that. That's not good. That's what the word says. Okay. Now next section, build and maintain Godly character. See, our character, our, you know, like our mind, all these things matter in ministry, not just for prophecy for anything and everything. But especially when it comes to prophecy, if my character is Godly, then what I'm sharing can be pure. But if my character is not Godly, let's say fleshly, right? Fleshly. Let's take one example. Maybe I have a problem with jealousy. Okay. And a believer in church is so blessed. Like I'm seeing every time they're coming and saying, pastor, God is blessing me. I'm getting, you know, this business offer and that and this, but I am, my problem is jealousy. So whenever I prophesy, you know, it can affect my prophecies. So when I am, or even my prayers, when I'm praying for that brother, I say, yeah, God is God blesses, but don't rejoice in that. Rejoice that your name is written. Anything I can say because I'm so jealous of that person and what God is doing in their lives. But what is happening? It's my problem and it's affecting all my ministry. I just give one small example, right? So it can be jealousy. It can be hatred. It can be anger. It can be bitterness. It can be rebellion. Like I don't believe in submitting to leaders or authority figures in my life. So whatever I do, you can see a little bit of that in my behavior. So you see our character, the Bible says it's like a vessel. Okay. When we want to drink water, we always check, right? Is it a clean glass? Then we will go fill it up and drink it. Otherwise the dirt in the vessel will make the product or whatever item that is impure. Same thing. The work of the spirit through our lives, the ministry through our lives, right? If I am not daily in the presence of God in the world and dealing with these issues of my own. If I'm not careful enough to do that, it will affect people. It'll start affecting people. So same thing is true for prophecy. Okay. So the carnal mind, get rid of the carnal mind and ensure that we are not working on the basis of that. So that also I think is quite clear. So let me just move on to the next section here. It says, do not base your identity in spiritual gifts. We have also spoken about this and we've said, you know, to become so attached to the ministry or the gift. That's a very shaky ground. You know, let's say my identity is a pastor, like pastor Nancy, somebody comes and says, hey, hello, hi Nancy, I get offended. How could you? How could you call my name like you should call me pastor Nancy, right? Because my identity becomes so attached to my role. But you say I'm a pastor only in the church, isn't it? Like if I go outside, nobody even knows what that means sometimes. So then what happens to my security? What happens to my identity? No, I may start feeling insecure in all other settings because people are not recognizing me for my call. But that's not how the Christian life is supposed to be. Even the disciples when they came back to Jesus, they said, we saw Satan falling like lightning. Meaning they did ministry so powerfully that Satan was defeated. Then Jesus tells them, okay, wonderful, but don't rejoice in this, rejoice that your names are written, you know, in heaven. So what was Jesus saying? He was saying, the fact that I'm a child of God, that is what must bring me joy all the time. Ministry, no ministry, title, no title, gift, no gift. But if we get attached to the prophetic, right? Or let's say the prophecy, the gift. If I feel like everyone should say, oh, she's so accurate, you know, she's prophetic, she's a prophet, she's a prophetess. I mean, if my identity becomes that, then it can really affect me the negative way and the people also the negative way. Okay, right. So identity, work on your identity, establish it and be rooted in who God says you are. The next section, I can quickly touch on this, we have about two minutes. So basically it says, know what the word says and we have discussed how the boundary of God's word will help us be accurate. Because if let's say we are hearing something which is not of the Lord, we will be able to check it quickly by the abundance of the word in our hearts. When Christ dwells in our hearts richly, the word says, right? Abide in, let my word abide in you, that's what Jesus taught us in John 15. So when the word abides in my heart, then I will know whether that is a true prophetic word or not. And especially when we are, you know, seeing things, when God starts to see things, when we talk about interpretation, we'll come to this. There might be pictures, symbols, there might be parables, allegories, so many things are going on in our minds. How do we interpret? I need the word for that. Let's say I see a lion. Now lion, how will I interpret the lion? Lion, Satan is like a roaring lion, the lion of Judah, you know, Jesus is a lion of Judah. But based on what is happening in that dream or that, you know, communication of God, based on the word, I will be able to interpret. Yeah, I'm seeing a lion and then this, this, this is happening. This is the setting. So this is what God is saying. Because I know the word and the word is clearly showing me how to interpret what I am seeing. So word is so important. Otherwise, if word is not there, you know, I'll be like, I'm seeing a lion. So like what, I have no reference from pictures about how to interpret that or what exactly God is trying to say. Is the interpretation for dreams will be in the same way? Like the word will be there and we have to take the word as a bias to interpret. We take the word because if we see when Joseph interprets the dream, we don't have the word actually, but he's still interpreted in the correct way. So can that also happen now? Like we can interpret dream and but we can't find any thing from the word. Yeah, so that's true, Prince. What I'm trying to say is the word acts as a guide. The imagery we need to go to the Bible only. Okay, so that is the that is a thumb rule. You scripture, whenever we see any image go to that, but there can be times when you see an image which is not in the Bible. Okay, but we can still be able to interpret it with the boundaries of God's word. For example, you know, like if I see a mobile phone, I have no reference to a mobile phone in the Bible. But maybe it just means communication. You know what I mean? But it would still be within the boundaries of God's word. So the image can be more updated. That may happen. But in general, for all interpretation, you know, the pictures and all we go to the Bible as our reference, not any other pictures. Exactly. Yeah, that's the point. Okay, great. Great. So we've come to a place in our discussion where I think in the next class, hopefully, or I'm not too sure. Yeah, maybe next class also we will have to discuss some of the aspects and the class after that, which would be next Friday, we can have a session next week. Yeah. So next Friday, you can all prepare yourselves in prayer. We'll just take some time to flow in the proper take in our class. So then we can understand better how to interpret how to release a word of prophecy. Okay. Great. So fine, let's wrap up then. Let's wrap up with the word of prayer. Again, I request one of us to please lead in prayer and then we can close. Father God, we thank you for this time. Thank you for this day. God, whatever we learned, you help us to flow in the prophetic and you help us to learn more of more from the word so that we can learn in the prophetic correctly. God, we surrender each of you into your hand and we give praise and glory to you. God, in Jesus' name I pray, amen. Amen. Thank you. Thank you, Shri Radha. Thank you, everyone. God bless you. Have a great day and a wonderful...
