YOU CAN PROPHESY!
(The Spirit Of God Has Been Poured Out Upon All Mankind)
TO THE BIBLE: Acts 2:17 TLB
“‘In the last days,’ God said, ‘I will pour out my Holy Spirit upon all mankind, and your sons and daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men dream dreams.’”
LET’S TALK
Did you notice that the first response or result of having the Spirit poured out upon all mankind was that men and women would prophesy? It shows the importance of prophecy in prayer. Until you find yourself prophesying in prayer, you haven’t utilised the power and benefits of prayer.
Prophecy is two-fold: we speak forth and we foretell. The key is being filled with the Spirit. The Bible says in Ephesians 5:18, “And be not drunk with wine, wherein is
excess; but be filled with the Spirit” (KJV). The underlined expression connotes something that’s supposed to continue. The proper rendering is actually, “Be being filled with the Spirit.”
That means you should always be filled with the Spirit. If you’re that way, your prayer life will be enriched with prophecy, where you speak forth God’s Word and you
foretell the future. Don’t leave your future in the hands of others; create your “aion”—course of life—with prophecy.
As a young person, how your life goes depends a lot on you. Likewise, as the Church of Jesus Christ, we must also recognise that we have a responsibility to determine what happens in our communities. That’s why our prayers must be laden with prophecies. Whenever we come together to pray, we must know we’re coming together to determine the future of our cities, our nations, and our world through our
prophetic utterances. Hallelujah!

Pray
Dear Father, I thank you for putting your Word in my heart and in my mouth, thus giving me the power to control my future. I declare that I’m moving forward by the power of the Holy Spirit, making progress with giant strides, and waxing stronger every day, in all things, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
