BRINGING INTO SERVICE PROPHETIC PRAYER

[FAITH]

"For as the rain and the snow come down from Heaven, and do not return there without watering the earth and making it bear and sprout, and furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater; so will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; it will not return to Me empty, without accomplishing what I desire, and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it. For you will go out with joy and be led forth with peace; the mountains and the hills will break forth into shouts of joy before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands." (Isaiah 55:10-12)

 

What does "My word" mean?

 

"...So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; it will not return to Me empty, without accomplishing..."

 

The Hebrew translation for "word" in this verse is "dabar," and its literal meaning is "speech or speaking."

 

The emphasis of this verse is that God is speaking His thoughts to us. The verse before says, "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts" (Isaiah 55:9).

So rather than figuring out how to pray for a situation --  ask God what His thoughts and will are for the situation. A phrase or a picture lights upon the mind, meaning you have just received "God's thoughts" or the "mind of Christ." You have just received the prophetic way to pray for the situation.

 

So now -- prophesy this word by speaking it in faith, and in your mind's eye, seeing it happen (i.e. a vision). Continue speaking and seeing as long as the phrase is resonating within you.

 

MAKING IT BEAR AND SPROUT -- TIME IS INVOLVED

 

"For as the rain and the snow come down from Heaven, and do not return there without watering the earth and making it bear and sprout, and furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater..." (Isaiah 55:10)

 

This idea is that a bit of time is involved in generating the miracle. Rain comes. It waters. Things sprout. Bread is eaten. Well, that normally takes a few months to occur, so you will need to be patient, knowing the prophetic word is working, producing the expected harvest. The promised results are "It will not return to Me empty."

 

This is a wonderful promise which you can rest in!

 

"It will not return to Me empty, without accomplishing what I desire, and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it."

You speak forth the word God has spoken within, declaring it is done, knowing it is God's conception which is now in the process of being birthed.

 

Rejoice That the Victory Is Won!

 

"For you will go out with joy and be led forth with peace; the mountains and the hills will break forth into shouts of joy before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands." (Isaiah 55:12)

 

No more begging that God will do it. No more fear that it will not be birthed. No more grumbling or complaining as I wait for the harvest. Just a simple declaration, spoken into the atmosphere, that "This is SO." The work is accomplished. God's Spirit is moving, accomplishing His spoken word. So you celebrate.

Now your emotions are in line with your confession. You have Kingdom thoughts, Kingdom pictures, Kingdom confessions and Kingdom emotions. You are in alignment. The thoughts of your mind, the pictures and emotions of your heart, and the words of your mouth all align. Now you are a vessel through whom the miracle-working power of God can flow. Now you are releasing Heaven on Earth.

Established strength happens as we perfect praise, believing and thanking God that He has already performed the miracle! The promised result --  "The enemy and the revengeful cease" (Psalm 8:2).
