Protecting Your Prophetic Word - Mark Cowper-Smith - Audio

When we learn to wait with a trusting and thankful attitude, we are acquiring the kind of character it takes to survive the promotion He intends for us. Big ministries require big character. No one survives a big ministry without a big character to go with it. Character sustains giftedness, not vice versa. Summary: 1. If a prophetic word does not fit the present circumstances of your life, save it and wait and see later. 2. The fulfillment of a prophetic word almost always involves God’s part and our part. 3. Our reaction to a prophetic word should be in the “middle” - neither entirely passive nor entirely active. 4. Our attitude towards a prophetic word matters – no contempt. 5. We “test” the word by taking baby steps of obedience that move us in the general direction of the fulfillment of the word. Application: Return to what God has said to you in your prophetic word. Now ask God what is the next baby step that will move you in the general direction of the fulfillment of the word?
