What Do You Do When You Receive A Prophecy?

When you receive a prophecy, it’s crucial to know how to handle this potentially life-changing word from God. Many wonder what steps to take after receiving a prophetic message. This guide will walk you through 7 essential actions to help you understand, interpret, and act on the prophecy you’ve received.

Over the past decade, the Lord has given me very specific instructions on what to do when I give a prophecy to someone. He wants them to know what to do with it after they receive it.

ALWAYS Record Your Prophecy

Importance of Recording

I remember one time when a few students were going to give a prophetic word to a classmate. I recommended he record his Word on his phone. He said he had a great memory. I insisted he record it and he did.

Benefit of Recording

The next day he emailed me and said Thank You for encouraging him to record his prophecy because he didn’t remember most of what was said to him.

Listen To Your Prophecy Over And Over Again

Enhanced Understanding

I can almost guarantee you that when you listen to your prophetic word the second time, you will hear things you didn’t hear the first time. Why is that?

Increased Expectancy

You can always go back and listen to your prophecies to see what has come to pass in your life. Also, it will help you become more expectant every time you listen to your Words from the Lord.

Ask God for Clarity When You Receive a Prophecy

Avoiding Assumptions

One thing you don’t want to do is assume you know what God meant in your prophecy. Only GOD knows exactly what He meant, so make sure you ask Him for clarity.

Seeking Guidance

For example, the Lord may tell you to go to Bible College. You just assume He meant NOW, so you pack up all of your belongings and go to a Bible College. Do you know two questions you should ask Him? Where and When?

Understand Your Part

Active Participation

I tell others, “Just because a Word is spoken over you, doesn’t mean it will automatically come to pass. You have to do your part.”

Seeking Divine Assistance

The only way you are going to know your part is to ask God. When He shows you what your part is, He will give you the grace to do it. Remember you can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens you.

Recognize God’s Part When You Receive a Prophecy

Surrendering to God’s Will

This point is so crucial. You have your role to play and God has His part to play. Don’t get them mixed up. He will not do your part. God is only going to do what He does best.

Trusting in God’s Sovereignty

He is the ONE who knows what He is doing. He does it very well and He wants you to leave the results up to Him. You do want God’s Results, don’t you?

Pray Over Your Prophecy

Activation Through Prayer

Last December, I was at a conference where I heard one speaker talk about receiving a prophecy. He said when you receive a prophetic word it’s like you have CONCEIVED something from God.

Aligning with God’s Will

Make sure you ask God how He wants you to pray over His Word He gave you. The Bible promises when you pray according to His Will, He will give you what you are asking Him. In other words, pray only what God wants you to pray and you will get a GUARANTEED YES from Him.

Transcribe Your Prophecy

Visual Reinforcement

This is a step I’ve been sharing with many this past year and so many have been blessed by writing out or transcribing their prophetic words. You may be a visual person, so SEEING what God spoke to you will help you tremendously.

Clarifying Roles

I also recommend you use two highlighters for your Word you transcribed. One color you would use to highlight “God’s part” of your prophecy and the other color for “Your Part.”

Conclusion

In conclusion, navigating the realm of prophecy is a profound journey—one that requires careful discernment, prayerful consideration, and steadfast faith. By implementing the strategies outlined in this guide, you can approach prophecies with confidence, knowing how to record, interpret, and respond to them effectively.

Remember to seek clarity through prayer, trust in God’s sovereignty, and take action in alignment with His will. As you embark on this journey, may you find assurance in God’s promises and guidance, experiencing spiritual growth and fulfillment along the way.

Whether your prophetic words come to pass exactly as foretold or take unexpected turns, trust that God’s plans are always for your ultimate good. Embrace each step with faith and courage, knowing that He who has called you is faithful.

As you continue to seek His will and follow His leading, may you experience the transformative power of prophecy in your life, drawing ever closer to the fullness of His purposes? Keep your heart open, your spirit receptive, and your eyes fixed on the One who holds your future in His hands.

Now you know what to do the next time you receive a prophecy. When you make these seven steps a MUST, then you will receive more clarity from the Lord regarding your prophetic word.

Remember just ONE Word from God can change your life forever.
