INVITING JESUS TO THE PARTY

I learned very quickly what it looks like when people begin to operate freely in the gifts without truly knowing God as their Father. I learned quickly what it looks like when an orphaned people filter real encounters with God through their woundedness and fears and then begin to project that onto everyone around them. When people operate in the gifts without remembering who God is and they don’t know God’s heart, they begin to filter their encounters through their wounds and judgements or their religious traditions. Unfortunately, they display a picture of God that is not accurate.

This was when I understood that before I could simply teach people how to discern God’s voice, I had to guide them through a biblical foundation of Jesus Christ—because He is the full picture of who God the Father truly is and who they too will reflect as a new creation. Any experience that doesn’t reflect the heart of Jesus needs to be examined closer or tossed out completely. Jesus is our scale on which everything is measured.

When I began to stir people’s belief that they actually do know God’s voice, people began walking into breakthrough moments with Holy Spirit! There were no formulas or pre-scripted plans, no long hours of prayer or begging God to speak to us. It was simply unity among us in our belief that we are one with God and He is speaking today! I’m talking about hard cases—fragmented, broken people, even Baptists who believed they were too depraved for God to speak to them were having sincere experiences that shifted their mindsets about who God was and who they were to God! I also began to observe that if we were in a group setting, community began to form in a very powerful way. People were not only prophetically confessing what God was speaking over them, but they began to get prophetic glimpses of one another too, and they started holding each other accountable to the word of God that was being seen and spoken. Once beggars, now they were upright and praying as children who were postured securely beside their all-powerful Father!

I came to passionately believe that everyone is prophetic simply because I believe Jesus demonstrated walking out a prophetic lifestyle. I believe that every miracle moment that Jesus performed was a prophetic act testifying to who God is and who the world is to God! It’s said in John 21:25 that Jesus performed so many miracles that not even all the books in the world could contain them. If all those acts are prophetic acts of God speaking of His nature, revealing His ways, then He has a lot to say! And we are included in the group Jesus described in John 14:12—believers who would do what He does and even greater things—so God is continuing to speak through us today! It appears as if God may be a jabber box, but it’s with His voice that He draws us out
