We are in a prophetic season
where we are seeing the many aspects of the prophetic dimension of God being
displayed in men. The primary aim of the prophetic is to be able to know the
mind of God. God wills to share His thoughts with us and when we make ourselves
available, we can pick the mind of God. I am very fascinated to the many ways.
So, the pattern of prophetic training in many quarters is based on how to hear
God.
Hearing God is a major course in
the lives of believers and God speaks to us in many ways. Basically, we hear God
through the written word however, God can also make His mind known to us
through the spoken word. Fundamentally, all believers should be able to hear
God which means that every believer should be prophetic. Just like God can
speak through a prophet in words, He can also speak using sounds, writings, video
(drama) and pictures.
Dreams are videos. Trance can be
short videos or pictures. One of the dimensions that is becoming pronounced in
this times is the use of arts to communicate. We see this many times in the
bible with people like Abraham when God told him to look at the stars in the
sky. What Abraham saw was a picture. God communicated using a picture. Arts
help our imagination to understand what God is saying better.
Just like a writer can write out
what he sees in the mind of God and a music minister will sing it out, an
artist can also draw it. I have heard of meetings where saints were worshiping
God and an artist would draw out what he sees in his heart and after the
worship time, some men would speak out the word of the Lord and it would be
exactly what the artist just drew! These days, God is opening up abilities to be
able to pick His vast mind in pictures and also be able to draw it out.
Sometimes, it is a scripture that
an artist turn into picture or a truth of God’s word. The resulting picture
makes it real and people are able to relate with it better. I have a friend who
will tell me what I saw in dreams using clouds. She brings out God’s word from
the formation of clouds. To her, they are more than pictures; they ‘speak’ and
she has always been accurate!
Prophetic arts cannot just
communicate truths, they can also communicate God’s power. What Jacob did with
the sheep of Laban is a mystery that can only be explained through prophetic
arts. There have been times that an image was impressed upon your heart and it
led you to many supernatural things. While we must endeavor to stay within the
written word and not ‘seek supernatural experiences’, we must understand that
they do exist.
So, if you have been sensing this
within you, please, take it serious. It is God.
