Hearing What the Spirit is Saying unto the Church! In 1Corinthians 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 Kenneth Copeland on March 9, 2013

My property that has been Mine,” saith the Lord, “since the day Jesus was raised from the dead, is now being gathered up by My angels, and My dominating Word is in operation right now-changing all of these assets and properties and bringing them over into the hands of those who will sow and believe beyond themselves. There’s never been a time like it before now, and there never will be a time like it again until the catching away of the Church. You’ve entered into it. But now you read in My WORD tonight the key. You take heed what you hear. For the way you measure it, it will be measured back to you.

So make sure,” saith the Lord, “that you develop and incline ears to hear My voice, My ways, My kingdom, to the point that everything you do, every waking hour of your life, has to do with the kingdom of God. Because everything that you do, every waking and sleeping hour of your life, has to do with Me,” saith the Lord Jesus.

I’m your LORD 24 hours a day. I never take a vacation from My love for you and your future. Stay with Me. You’ll be glad you did. THE BLESSING is the place to be. Not heaven, not yet. Oh, it’ll seem like heaven because it’ll be like days of heaven on earth. Those days have already begun. Some of you are experiencing it now. Some more than others. But rejoice, because I have stepped things up. They are moving faster than ever before, and you will develop-not in years, not in months, not in weeks. You will develop by the hour as you walk and live with Me. You’ll be knowing things six weeks from now that you never dreamed you’d ever know before. I am the Lord your God. I AM THAT I AM,” saith the Lord. “Amen.”
