Hearing What the Spirit is Saying unto the Church! In 1 Corinthians 12, the Apostle Paul lays out for the church an explanation of Spiritual Gifts. If you read the list, you will see that three of the gifts are vocal. Prophecy is words inspired by the Spirit in a known language. Tongues are words inspired by the Spirit in an unknown tongue. Interpretation of tongues is a Spirit-given rendering of an unknown tongue. Below is an example of the gift of prophecy.
The following excerpt is taken from a prophecy that was given by Rodney-Howard Brown in 2003.
For many have wondered and said, “How come is it that we have only in times past seen limited manifestations of the Spirit?” But the Lord would say unto you this night, “It is because that is the room that they gave Me to work with,” saith the Lord. “They allow Me certain times and certain places within the framework of what they were doing in their ministry-an opportunity to move. So I took whatever opportunity was available to Me, even just a crack, I slipped in through and came in and touched and did what I could, but in a limited way.
But in these last days, men and women shall not allow Me just momentarily, but there will be those that I raise up that will be totally yielded unto the voice of the Spirit of God to do whatever heaven says, whatever heaven’s purpose, and whatever heaven’s planned. So all they will do is just yield totally unto My Spirit and whole services from the start to the finish will be totally orchestrated by the Spirit. Even from the songs that are sung and even the notes the musicians play shall be totally orchestrated by heaven. Nothing will be done within the framework of that service that would be done out of any motive that is not pure, but it shall come out of hearts that are yielded to Me. Oh, wonderful things and amazing things and glorious things shall be made manifest. So that from the start to the finish of that meeting, it would seem that heaven painted a glorious picture and it was a beautiful tapestry that was woven and was heaven made manifest on the earth.
Men and Women shall just stand in amazement and say ‘My, surely the hand of the Lord was among us this night, surely the hand of the Lord made manifest among us.’ People will begin to speak out and there will be greater manifestations of the gifts of the Spirit, the gifts of utterance, the gifts of revelation, the gifts of power, and greater operations of the gifts of the Spirit. These meetings will not just be few and far between, but shall become commonplace. You will not know where the one finished and the other one begun. It shall all seem interwoven into one. For in the Spirit, there is no time. Some would say ‘Oh, this happened last month.’ But it would seem like it was today.
Oh, you shall be caught up into realms of glory that has just been prophesied and said of old it was coming. But know this,” saith the Lord, “it is even now, it is even nigh, it is even at the door. There must come a greater yieldedness from the hearts of My people to yield unto My Spirit, to yield unto My voice, to hearken unto My purpose and My plan and to make the choice that this is the way-walk ye in it. That this is the way that we will see the glory of heaven revealed among us and great and wonderful things shall be done. Whole meetings from start to finish orchestrated by the Son. The glory of heaven’s light shall shine and the darkness shall flee. Oh, you shall walk in great power and great victory. Yes, rejoice even this night, for these things are upon us. These things are at hand. You will see the glory of the Lord manifested in the land.” Hallelujah! Thank you, Lord Jesus. Hallelujah! Whole services, whole services, orchestrated. Thank you, Lord Jesus!
It will be in these meetings where it will be dreams, revelations, and visions. Yes, just like the book of Acts. But these things must now come again to the body of Christ and come with greater frequency and greater manifestation. For it has been a vision here or a dream there, it has just been now and then. No, this must now become commonplace. The supernatural must now become natural. You have heard much teaching, but now is the time to be put into manifestation and put into practice. So, when you come together with one accord and you come together with one purpose-to come and magnify the Son of the living God-these things shall come into manifestation.
Hallelujah! Glory to God! Thank you, Lord Jesus! Get ready! Caught away into the heavenly realms. Caught away into the glory realms. Thank you, Lord Jesus! Hallelujah! I feel it in this room tonight. I feel the Glory of God in this place tonight.
Many will come in with needs and they will be sitting there. They will need direction and they will need wisdom and they will need to know the way of the Lord. But while they will be sitting in their place of worship, suddenly their eyes will be opened and they will see things to come and they will see things a week, two weeks, a month from now. They will leave the services with divine revelation/divine direction and they will make divine decisions. Hallelujah! Nothing shall come upon them unawares. Nothing shall come upon them to where it would be a surprise. For they will be forewarned, and they will be forearmed, and they will know the ways of the Spirit of God. Hallelujah!
For too long people have read about history and these great happenings that have taken place and said ‘Oh, to have lived in those days and those times!’ But you live in even a greater day and a greater time. You live in the greater day of greater glory and greater manifestation and greater signs and wonders that have come to tell His story. This is the day of the harvest where the souls of men shall come in and find the light of salvation because they have been walking in darkness and it has been so dim. These are the days when the glorious lights shall shine from heaven above and many shall be swept in by multitudes into His glorious light and love. Oh, the glory of heaven and the joy supreme and divine shall be yours and mine. This is it. It is time.
Say no more that it is coming. Say no, even now it is at the door. These are the days of the great outpouring and there is more, there is more. Even down to the little children and the youth flowing in realms of glory with the miraculous and signs and wonders that no one will be able to gauge. Children overcome by the glory. Yep, it is now. It is at the door. I hear the sound of heaven saying, ‘There is so much more.’
Pull back the blinds of the flesh and the blind of time and enter into the realm of glory, glory divine. I hear the sound of heaven like a mighty rushing wind filling the hearts of men, setting them free from sin, breaking the chains that bound them, breaking that which has held them back, bringing them into a place of supernatural provision, a place where there is no lack.|
It is about yielding, you have yielded some, but now it is time to yield more. Because that which others have said for fear, many have drawn back. So, the church has operated in a loss and they have run at a lack. These gifts are given so that you might profit, that you might not be at a loss. For God is not nonprofit.
Everything that you need is in His presence divine. Everything! Come eat at His table, come drink of the wine. Come drink of the heavenly bread and the oil from above. Nothing lacking, nothing lacking. There is an answer for you to every question.
