What is Prophecy?
At The Belfrey, we believe that loving God and loving others is our highest goal – all the Law and Prophets hang on these two commandments. From this foundation of love, God’s word encourages believers to earnestly desire His spiritual gifts of Grace, especially, the ability to prophesy.
The gift of prophecy reveals that God loves to speak! Prophecy allows believers to know His voice intimately while also repeating what His Holy Spirit has made known. It is only by the crucifixion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ that we have been made right with God and enabled to receive the Holy Spirit that reveals the thoughts of God.
God loves to use many creative ways to communicate, including through His written word and creation, in addition to visions, pictures, dreams, statements, impressions, art, photography, singing, dancing, instruments and an audible voice. The common theme is that prophecy always strengthens, encourages, comforts and corrects us into the will of our Father. Just as Jesus could do nothing of Himself and only did what He saw His Father doing, so His body on earth, the church, needs to see and obey the Father’s will as revealed through prophecy.
Therefore, prophecy empowers believers, churches, cities, regions and even nations to enter into their God-ordained destinies.
