Family, the Father hasn’t gone quiet—He’s drawing us closer. The prophetic isn’t a performance; it’s relationship. Jesus said, “My sheep hear my voice.”
“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” — John 10:27 ESV
1) Reset Your Hearing: From Hurry to Abide
“Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10 ESV
Hurry muffles heaven. Create small daily pockets to be still: breathe, invite the Holy Spirit, and wait. Keep a simple journal titled “What I sense Jesus saying.” Don’t chase fireworks; value whisper-level clarity.
2) Reset Your Sight: See People Like Jesus Does
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” — Matthew 5:8 ESV
Ask the Spirit, “How do You see this person, street, or school in Pretoria North?” Replace suspicion with intercession. Prophetic sight is not fault-finding—it’s treasure-hunting.
3) Reset Your Speech: Speak Life, Not Hype
“The one who prophesies speaks to people for their upbuilding and encouragement and consolation.” — 1 Corinthians 14:3 ESV
Measure every word by three gauges: Strengthen, Encourage, Comfort. If it doesn’t build people and glorify Jesus, it’s not prophetic—it’s just noise.
4) Safety & Accountability: Guard the Gift
- Scripture first: The Bible is the non-negotiable standard (2 Timothy 3:16).
- Test & weigh: Share impressions humbly. Invite leaders to weigh words (1 Corinthians 14:29).
- Fruit matters: The Spirit’s voice produces love, joy, peace (Galatians 5:22–23).
5) Activation You Can Do This Week (Pretoria Edition)
- Prayer-walk a street or school in Pretoria North. Ask: “Jesus, what’s Your dream for this place?” Pray it out loud.
- Encourage one person daily. Share a short Scripture and a sincere line you believe Jesus would say to them.
- Family table time: 10 minutes of stillness + one worship song + one question: “Holy Spirit, what are You highlighting?”
6) When It Feels Quiet
“You will hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it.’” — Isaiah 30:21 ESV
Silence isn’t absence. Keep showing up. The Shepherd is near. Often, obedience unlocks clarity.
Prayer
Jesus, reset my hearing, sight, and speech. Purify my motives. Make me a voice of hope in Pretoria and beyond. Amen.
