The levels of prophecy can be likened to a pool. The water gets deeper as they go further into the pool. The farthest and deepest end of the pool can be the prophetic level with the greatest intensity and accuracy. Just because a person can prophesy, it does not mean he is called to be a prophet or to the Office of the Prophet. Any divine communication, illumination, and divine inspiration is the work of the Holy Spirit—a prophetic spirit—and is therefore prophetic in nature. Let’s begin with the first level of prophecy.

The “spirit of prophecy” is distinguished from the Book of Revelation. This spirit can be experienced when a preacher suddenly is able to give his message with an extra fire and a fresh anointing. This spirit is also what comes upon you when you feel like the Holy Spirit is telling you to witness to a friend and share the gospel. Suddenly, you can tell you’re sharing exactly what the other person needs to hear. Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your comrades who hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” (Revelation 19:10)

The “spirit of prophecy” is what inspires you to tell another believer how much you appreciate them with more than just an expression of gratitude or saying, “Thank you.” This “spirit of prophecy” comes over you while you’re praying and can cause you to “change gears” in terms of the direction of what you’re praying for. You notice you pray with more inspiration—you just feel it in your gut.

The “spirit of prophecy” is also what prompts you to pick up the phone and to encourage a friend in the Lord. The “spirit of prophecy” is simply being inspired to speak for God. Prophecy can be given to you, from God, but sometimes the “spirit of prophecy” is from you to God. Unlike “prophecy” which is a direct word from God—“Thus saith the Lord to you”—the “spirit of prophecy” is more like “Thus saith me with more inspiration from the Spirit than usual.”

Have you ever felt the Holy Spirit move you to speak to a person and share the Word of God? What did you do?

Ephesians 4 – Prophet and the Ministry

The third level of prophecy involves the Ephesians 4 prophet. A biblical prophet receives a commission from the Lord and the fruit that confirms this calling. Ephesians 4 prophets typically have a national or transnational sphere of work that the Lord has specifically assigned to them.

These prophets release impartation and know how to work with the prophetic gifts. Impartation brings about change. This change is a critical part of the Ephesians 4 prophet’s message. These prophets are designed by God to equip the Church in these Spirit manifestations. When you come around a prophet, you actually experience aspects of the presence of God. There are many different kinds of prophets, but all have a capacity to sense and release God’s presence. Prophets set kings into offices, speak directional words to apostles, and bring impartation.

Impartation pertains to a release that comes into you by the power of the Holy Spirit. The purpose of the impartation is to confirm or to empower God’s call, function, or gift on your life. Impartation is not done by the will of any prophet, but it happens through them as they are carried along by the Spirit.

Do you have the calling to be an Ephesians 4 prophet? How do you know?

We can understand prophecy as a forward-looking gift. Most prophecies in the Bible are forward-looking. Prophecies in a local church can include word of knowledge and word of wisdom. It can be general or specific. There is usually a keyword that brings breakthrough, repentance, illumination, and the like. Prophecy can seem to be a little repetitive if all you hear in your Church is that God loves you. God does love you, of course, but He has a lot more to say. Actually, there are three levels of prophecy that prophets must be aware of when listening to God’s voice.

1 Corinthians 12 – Simply Prophecy

The first level of prophecy is based on the knowledge that all believers can prophesy. If you are a believer reading this book, you can prophesy because of the grace of God. In 1 Corinthians 12:7, Paul tells you that you have been given the Holy Spirit and you can encourage others through a prophetic word. The Holy Spirit is given for the common good. When we first begin to prophesy, we prophesy out of our maturity—or immaturity. Most of us can give an encouraging word with the help of the Holy Spirit. All believers can prophesy at this level.

Have yhou ever prophesied encouragement to another person?

The Apostle Paul encourages us to pursue love, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts. He specifically said that you might prophesy (1 Cor. 14:1). Prophecy is simply about hearing a message from God, then speaking it out. A person may hear something from God and communicate it to the church or to an individual or a group of specific people. Prophecy is about declaring the heart of the Lord.

How are you pursuing God with your spiritual gifts?

“Therefore I say unto you, What things so ever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them (Mark 11:24).”  When you pray, do not feel like “it might happen.” In your heart, be assured that it will. Faith is about being sure for what you hope for. It did not say, “faith is feeling like maybe it will happen.” Being sure means you are 100% certain that God will make it happen.  Faith is about being 100% sure about the outcome. God did not say you need to dictate the process for how He will make it happen. God just wants you to be sure of the outcome. God is saying, “You can be clear about WHAT will happen,” but you need to be able to trust Him to know HOW He will make it happen.

By the Infinite, we mean the Unlimited God. You have to be definite with the Infinite.

Until you are definite with the Infinite, you do not define the Infinite in you. God sent you to earth so you can be His dream come true. Until you become definite with the Infinite, the dream will be a nightmare. You have to define and declare the good that you want before you can get it.

It is up to you to choose, and to define exactly what the Infinite will be, do, and have through you. Your position before the Lord was defined when Jesus died on the cross. No longer do you need a High Priest to offer your requests before God for you, like the Israelites did. Jesus made a way for us to come directly to the Infinite and Unlimited God, without dying. It is your special privilege as a Christian to have access to God Almighty. It is Jesus-won for you and sacrificed for you.

You have the power to be bold with your prayers and to be specific in what you want.

Jesus said, “It’s “yes” and “amen” if you ask in His name. What are you waiting for?

What do you want to ask the Lord for? It is already a “yes” and an “Amen.”
