| As a valued member of this EXCLUSIVE email list (and I absolutely mean that it is exclusive). I wanted to share my heart with you. Let me start by being very direct. I want to be your prophet. I repeat. I want to be your prophet. What is a prophet? It is a man or woman of God that seeks God’s voice for your life. Some of you are a part of our “prophetic focus” program. This has shown fruit for many. If you would like to register for a week of prophetic focus simply respond to this email. Let me articulate how you come into alignment with a personal prophet. It is a connection through prayer, faith, obedience to God, and your seed. There is an incredible “connection” between blessing a man or woman of God and receiving from the Lord through that vessel. The “great woman” in Shunem saw the true spirit and heart of Elisha. She new that he was a “true” man of God, with a “genuine anointing” from God. She knew that he had something she wanted. He had the favor of God and the anointing of God on his life. She wanted the favor and anointing of God on her life. She wanted the favor and anointing of God on her family’s life. She wanted what the man of God had. It wasn’t the “man” of God she wanted, it was the “God” of the man of God she wanted. In order to get what the man of God had, she had to “get around the man of God”. She had to connect with him and communicate with him regularly. The anointing of God is imparted by association. Scripture says that “she constrained him to eat bread”. She “insisted” that he stop in at her house for a meal. She “laid hold of” the man of God and persuaded him to come to her house. There is an incredible biblical principle in this text of scripture. She “made a demand on the anointing” on the prophet’s life. She “made a demand on the prophet himself”. Thereby, she made a “demand on God!” The word “constrained” means “to seize” or “to fasten upon.” She aggressively got a hold of the one who had what she wanted. This is a vital component in “receiving the prophet’s reward.” The woman “received” the prophet into her own home, provided for him, and thereby set herself up to “receive” from the Lord through the prophet. The way she did this was THROUGH BLESSING the man of God. She provided for him food to eat. She provided shelter for him. She provided what he needed in his life. She was “linking up” with the man of God and becoming a “partner” in his anointing and ministry. She provided for the man of God and God provided for her. This is a major key to releasing the blessings of God into your life. Find a “true” man or woman of God and begin to bless them. |

Seek God on who is the prophetic voice for your life. 2) Partner with a seed of faith and send me your prayer requests on the link below. 3) Register for a week of prophetic focus and let’s explore the prophetic word for your life together.
