Sir!!!!! I would sit at my desk every morning, open up my bible, and seek the holy spirit on the prophetic words he gave me. Not to mention i’m prophetic and charismatic myself. This would drive me crazy when God didn’t speak to me about what he had promised. It also drove me crazy when I began to lose things in the midst of what he told me would happen. This whole article just blessed me! It’s a constant reminder to let patience do its work on the inside of me and to not crave a prophetic word in order to believe and as a substitute for exercising my faith 😩🙌🏾

I think we fall in the trap of using prophecy to escape the divine mystery. At this point in my walk, I’m pretty sure that’s not the way God works.

Exactly! Not do I believe he wants to be used in this way.

Love the idea of walking a tension of expecting clarity, while in pursuit of encountering mystery.

Thanks for catching that. When I read this post this morning, I felt like I buried the lead. We don't do silence well and sometimes fill the gap with noise thinking it will obligate God to talk.

We Pentecostals have trouble with silence. How many times has a church member broken the holy hush with an utterance in tongues or a “Hallelujah!” when what God had for us was to be still?
