“...Canada and the Canadian church is going to rise up once again and go to the four corners of the

1 Timothy 1:18 “This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously

made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare,…”

Prophecy (prophēteuō):— to speak forth by divine inspiration.

Prophecy is simply heaven revealing itself through human vessels.

It is God's thoughts becoming audible in the earth.

The Bible is about a King, a Kingdom, and a royal family of children.

A message about the desire of a King to extend His Kingdom through His royal family.

Jesus is not the Gospel. Jesus preached the gospel and he is the means to the gospel (DOOR).

The good news (Gospel) is that He has brought the Kingdom of God to earth!!!

Mark 1:15 (NIV) “The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and

believe the good news!”

Repent:— Think again. Take a fresh look at this good news!!!

One of the greatest differences between the old and new covenant is the location of GOD!!!

Matthew 13:33 (NLT) “The Kingdom of Heaven is like the yeast a woman used in making bread.

Even though she put only a little yeast in three measures of flour, (60lbs) it permeated every part of

the dough.”

Quietly

Progressively

Inevitably His Kingdom fills every thing every way!

Acts 3:19-21 “Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of

refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was

preached to you before, whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which

God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.”

RESTORATION:— (apokatastasis) the restoration not only of the true theocracy but also of that

more perfect state of (even physical) things which existed before the fall.

Aligning yourself with the revelation of Jesus as King puts you in a place of privilege, trust, and

authority and provides keys to ignite, lock, and loose, resulting in the manifestation of His Kingdom.

1 Corinthians 14:1, 39 “Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.”

“Therefore, brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak with tongues.”

4 basic types of NT prophecy:

1. Spirit of Prophecy — an atmosphere of prophetic revelation.

2. Gift of Prophecy — a gift of the Spirit (not reward) functioning through a believer.3. Office of a Prophet — a gift of a person given to the church to serve and to edify.

4. Company Of Prophets — Kingdom Life.

1. The Spirit of Prophecy

The Atmosphere of Revelation

In the manifest presence of Jesus People suddenly see:

Who God really is — Who they really are — What God is doing

A realm where heaven becomes discernible.

2. The Gift of Prophecy

"To another prophecy..." 1 Corinthians 12:10

It is a manifestation of the Spirit not a reward for maturity. Source — Holy Spirit

A new believer or a mature believer may prophesy.

Paul teaches that the gift of prophecy brings: strength encouragement and comfort

The gift of prophecy turns ordinary conversations into divine encounters:

In schools. In businesses. In homes. In grocery stores.

The Kingdom advances whenever heaven finds a voice.

Prophecy is heaven interrupting earth with encouragement.

3. The Office of the Prophet

An Ascension Gift (Person) Given to the Church.

"He gave some to be apostles, some prophets..." Ephesians 4:11

A prophet carries: vision / direction / alignment equipping

Not merely revelation, but formation.

They create a hunger for the voice of God.

Prophets help align the church with heaven's agenda.

A prophet is not God's favourite child; a prophet is God's servant to His people.

True prophets do not gather followers around themselves; they gather people around Jesus.

4. The Company of Prophets

The entire Church becomes a prophetic community.

"Would that all the Lord's people were prophets." Numbers 11:29

What Moses desired, Pentecost accomplished.

This is the Company of Prophets functioning:

A father speaks life over his children.

A wife speaks hope over her husband.

A business owner declares Kingdom purpose over employees.

A believer prays over a neighbourhood.

A church speaks God's destiny over a city.

A people whose mouths agree with heaven.

The Church is not called merely to observe history.

The Church is called to announce heaven into history. We speak: Life over death / despair

Hope over

Blessing over curse / Christ over chaos Reconciliation over division

God’s promise is looking for a believing voice.

The Church is God's prophetic embassy in the earth.We do not speak in order to make God act; we speak because God has acted in Christ.

The Kingdom is not coming into force—it is already in force.

Prophecy is the announcement of its victory.
