Rules for New Covenant Prophecy

“He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you.”

— John 16:14

Prophecy for Today: A New Covenant Perspective

Prophecy is not a relic of the past; it is very much alive and active today. However, as New Covenant believers, we must receive and give prophetic words within the parameters established by Jesus and the apostles. To do this, the best foundation for understanding prophecy is Jesus' teachings about the Holy Spirit. Prophecy, along with words of wisdom and words of knowledge, are gifts or graces of the Spirit. It only makes sense to view these gifts through the lens of how our Lord described the ministry of the Spirit.

Jesus’ Teaching on the Holy Spirit: A Framework for Prophecy

When Jesus taught about the Holy Spirit in John chapters 14-16, He described an intimate relationship where believers can expect dialogue and personal interaction with the Spirit. One of the key points Jesus emphasized is this:

The Holy Spirit will take what belongs to Jesus and make it known to us.

This truth is transformational. As joint heirs with Christ (Romans 8:17), everything that belongs to Jesus is also ours. The Holy Spirit’s role includes declaring to us what is ours in Christ—our inheritance, our promises, and our identity in the New Covenant. This foundational truth is vital for understanding the purpose and operation of prophecy and other revelatory gifts.

What We Can Expect from the Holy Spirit (Based on Jesus' Words in John 14-16)

1. He will give us another Helper who will abide with us forever. (John 14:16)

2. He is the Spirit of truth, who dwells with us and will be in us. (John 14:17)

3. He will teach us all things. (John 14:26)

4. He will bring to our remembrance everything Jesus said. (John 14:26)

5. He will testify about Jesus. (John 15:26)

6. He will convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. (John 16:8)

7. He will guide us into all truth. (John 16:13)

8. He will tell us things to come. (John 16:13)

9. He will glorify Jesus by taking what belongs to Him and declaring it to us. (John 16:14)

10. He will reveal to us all that the Father has given to Jesus. (John 16:15)

These functions and attributes of the Holy Spirit can and should serve are guides for giving and receiving words today.

Operating in the Revelatory Gifts

When we operate in the gifts of the Spirit—specifically prophecy, words of wisdom, and words of knowledge—we should emulate the ministry of the Holy Spirit as described by Jesus. Just as the Holy Spirit declares what is ours in Christ, so should prophecy affirm these truths to build others up in their identity and inheritance in Him.

Similarly, when we receive prophetic words, we must apply this principle as a filter. Not every word should be received wholesale just because the person delivering it seems accurate or credible. Instead, we should ask:

• Does this word affirm what is mine in Christ?

• Does it align with the New Covenant?

• Does it reflect the ministry of the Holy Spirit as described by Jesus?

By doing so, we safeguard our hearts and keep prophetic ministry aligned with its New Covenant purpose.

Paul’s Teaching on Prophecy

The apostle Paul provides further clarity on the nature of prophecy in the New Covenant. He states that all prophecy should edify, exhort, and comfort (1 Corinthians 14:3). This means that prophecy should:

1. Build us up: Strengthening our faith and encouraging us in our walk with Christ.

2. Exhort us: Inspiring us to action and deeper devotion.

3. Comfort us: Bringing consolation and peace in times of trouble.

Prophecy that tears down, condemns, or instills fear is not operating in the spirit of the New Covenant. Instead, prophecy should reflect the heart of Jesus and the grace of the Spirit.

The Testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy

Revelation 19:10 declares, “The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” This profound statement means that the spirit in which we prophesy should always point to Jesus. Prophecy can reveal the future, provide specific details, or offer insight, but it must ultimately testify of Jesus. It should affirm His finished work and what is ours in Him because of the New Covenant. This focus on Jesus brings clarity, hope, and assurance, reminding us that we are secure in His promises.

Practical Application for Today

As New Covenant believers, here are a few principles to guide us in giving and receiving prophetic words:

1. Focus on Jesus: Ensure that all prophecy points to Him, affirms His work, and reveals our inheritance in Christ.

2. Edify, Exhort, and Comfort: Use prophecy to build others up, strengthen their faith, and bring encouragement.

3. Filter Words Through the New Covenant: Evaluate prophetic words to ensure they align with the truths of the New Covenant and the ministry of the Holy Spirit.

4. Rely on the Holy Spirit: Remember that the gifts are manifestations of the Spirit working through us, not personal abilities we own.

By applying these principles, we keep prophecy grounded in its New Covenant purpose and reflect the heart of Jesus in our ministry. The gifts of the Spirit, including prophecy, are expressions of God’s grace, given to strengthen the Body of Christ and glorify Jesus. Let us steward them well and use them to point others to the fullness of life in Him.

How to Consistently Hear God

“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.”

— John 14:26

Wow, what a great time we had in this service!! The way the body ministered together was so beautiful to me. If you were not there or you did not catch it online, I encourage you to watch. Just after 9 minutes into my message I discuss the interpretation of a tongue someone brought during worship, and then several others in the body shared the interpretation they received. It’s a little hard to hear, but you can make it out if you turn up your volume.

The interpretation of the tongue came in the form of a prayer. You can listen to the prayer and then watch the message to see how accurate it was, then watch everyone’s input about what they heard from God during the tongue, it was a beautiful thing.

Click to watch the interpretation on YouTube.

Hearing the Holy Spirit

Hearing the Holy Spirit is about developing a meaningful relationship with God, where we can hear His voice and receive knowledge, wisdom, and direction. Jesus emphasized the importance of this connection when describing the sending of the Holy Spirit in John 14-16.

For me, the process varies, but when I feel the need to be influenced by the Spirit or seek guidance, I follow a general approach. I take a moment to get still, even if I'm driving or surrounded by a crowd. I consciously become fully aware of God's presence. I acknowledge different aspects of His character that feel relevant at that moment.

To fully embrace this moment, I release all stress and anxiety and might focus on a specific passage that resonates with the situation. After calming my mind and regaining peace, I pay attention to the thoughts that arise, specifically distinguishing thoughts of doubt and thoughts of faith.

Thoughts of doubt may remind me of challenges, failures, or tasks I've been avoiding, while thoughts of faith affirm my identity and salvation and lead to correction or guidance. Sometimes, these insights are accompanied by relevant scriptures or wise revelations. I then seek to apply the faith-focused impressions.

The Holy Spirit communicates with me in subtle ways, often through sentences that come to mind as memories, rather than audible messages. This aligns with what Jesus said—the Holy Spirit reminds us of who we are, bearing witness to our spirit that we are God's children, and recalls what Jesus had already taught. It's a reminder that we are joint heirs with Christ, sharing in His inheritance.

From the mix of responses within my mind and heart, I make decisions, recognizing that there can be no fruit or transformation without action steps. When impressed by the Spirit, it's essential to act in faith based on these impressions. But I’m careful to verify that the impressions are scriptural.

This process can be challenging, especially if doubts arise from the heart, as they may hinder the clarity of God's word in your heart and thoughts. Conditioning ourselves to think more in alignment with our temporary flesh or carnal aspects of identity might lead us to rationalize and miss faith opportunities.

To maintain clarity, I make it a practice to document these impressions after moments of peace. Over time, I have developed a track record of following these insights, understanding that the Holy Spirit is available to impress and guide me. Even when I don't receive a unique solution, and the impression is a generic Christian principle, such as generosity or believing the best about others, I trust the word and believe it will produce the intended transformation and guidance.

I have learned to trust the process of God’s word bearing fruit in my thinking. I’m careful to mix in wisdom as much as is available in the moment, and then move.

I do “hear” specific and unique impressions from God from time to time, but that is not the main way I try to hear God. I’d prefer to live in alignment and trust in his Word and general character, and trust that it will just work out. But I am open to direct specifics if that’s what happens.

I have seen too many people become disappointed because their decision didn’t work out they thought they had a word from God on. I have seen couples discouraged because they felt like they had a word on the gender of their baby. I have seen people sit and do nothing, waiting on God to do something because they thought they received a word.

I’m not suggesting we shouldn’t value “words,” I’m just suggesting that words should primarily confirm what you see in God’s Word. The Word will work if you live by it, and if a specific step or decision is needed, you are equipped to make a wise decision without second-guessing yourself.

Try this exercise if you desire to develop a more sensitive spiritual ear to God’s voice.

Practical Application

Based on my message about hearing the Holy Spirit from within, here’s your suggested homework.

• Read John chapters 14 through 17

• Make a list of all the points Jesus makes about the Holy Spirit as you read

• Write a few sentences about what stands out to you the most as Jesus describes the Holy Spirit

• Take a few minutes to get an inner vision of what it looks like in your daily life to hear God lead you

• Practice it in as many areas of life as you can

Demystifying the Gifts of the Spirit

“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us”

— Ephesians 3:20

"The Gifts of the Spirit" is a loaded phrase. Firstly, the Greek word for “gifts” is charisma. The root word of charisma is charis, which is translated as grace. So they are more accurately called “graces of the spirit.” This distinction is essential because of the nature of grace.

Grace is a divine influence in your heart that brings about ability or capacity. Grace is power and strength in your inner self. The manifestation of the Spirit of God in you or through you is grace in action, signifying God's empowering presence in and through you.

The gifts/graces, or manifestations of God’s Spirit, are not individualized abilities that one person has while another person doesn’t. Meaning the gifts are not individual abilities. They are varied forms of expression of the indwelling Spirit of God.

I emphasize this distinction because some people think they don’t have a particular gift, while others think they have a gift that no one else has. There are no individualized gifts. Every believer has the Spirit; therefore, every believer can manifest the Spirit in the form of a “gift.”

Every believer can flow in all of the gifts.

While we all have the capacity to flow in all the gifts, we should tune our hearts to God’s guidance because he will lead some to operate in one gift while he leads others to operate in different gifts. As the body of Christ jointly harmonizes with God’s leading, we become a beautiful multi-faceted expression of God’s Spirit, seeking to accomplish his will in and through his body.

The Gifts Made Easy

We know of the list of gifts mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12 and Romans 12, but I want to highlight a gift mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12:28, the gift of “helping.”

Helping someone is a spiritual gift. Yes, you can help someone in your strength, but when you are motivated by love, you are walking in a gift of the Spirit.

Can you help someone? Then you can flow in the gifts.

For most of us, operating in the gifts is a desire, but we don’t have much confidence. We’ve done it before, or at least desired it, but for many, it feels like it doesn’t work consistently for us. So we just draw back and stop leaning into it.

Then Do It

May I make a suggestion? If you desire the gifts to be active in your life, try these two things first. Cultivate compassion in your heart for the person, then see if there’s any way you can help them.

As you’re helping them, lean in a bit. Pay attention to see if a scripture or an encouraging word comes to mind. Or a facet of Christ’s finished work is impressed upon your thinking that you can share with them. And then ask them if you can pray for them. As you’re praying, pay attention to see if any specifics arise that you might need to pray for.

The more you actively love and help people, the more you will create opportunities for the Holy Spirit to manifest in all his varied forms.

I’ll leave you with this thought from Paul. Don’t let the first part of verse 6 confuse you; remember that all believers have the Spirit. He’s making the distinction based on each person knowing which gift God would lead them to operate in. I love how he makes his point. The emphasis is mine.

Romans 12:6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; 7 if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; 8 if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.

THEN DO IT!

HOMEWORK: Lean into the gifts

So far, you were to read 1 Corinthians and identify which gifts you want operating in your life. If you desire to prophesy, write a sketch based on all the aspects associated with New Covenant prophecy. See last week's message and homework video.

This week we go a step further. Based on the message, love is the greatest gift of the Spirit. We also identified "helping" as a spiritual gift. This week's homework is to read 1 Corinthians 13 and get a vision of what it looks like for the other gifts of the spirit to blend with love. You may have to spend some time thinking about it, and it may not be an obvious thing at first. There's no right answer, and it's more about reframing the gifts through love than individual acts of "doing a gift."

If it's new to you or you haven't stepped out in a while. Commit to two things, to love people and to help people. As you're helping someone motivated by love, lean in a bit more and see if a scripture comes to mind you can share with them. Ask if you can pray for them and pay attention to God's spirit within for any specific things to bring up. It's ok to ask questions.

Prophecy in the New Covenant

“For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy”

— Revelation 19:10b

If you create a sketch for prophecy in the New Covenant, it would include several factors quite different from prophecy under the Old Covenant. Any believer can deliver prophecy in the New Covenant. It should always build up, stir up, and comfort. It will ALWAYS testify of Jesus, his finished work, and his increasing Kingdom. New Covenant prophecy may teach, instruct, correct, or even predict the future, but it will always point the hearer to Jesus rather than a warning of judgment.

The Apostle Paul encourages us to desire the gift of prophecy, and other writers admonish us not to despise the prophecies. Why would we despise prophecies? Because we've all seen it abused and turned into a circus sideshow. The modern prophecy movement has created a co-dependent environment around a single gift. The gift is still active today, and there are legitimate prophets, but the communities that exalt it do their communities a disservice.

I know too many people who waited on God to accomplish what the prophet declared to them. Just because God speaks something to you doesn't mean it will automatically come to pass. You still have to walk by faith and apply wisdom in every situation in life. Prophecy is great confirmation, and it can give you vision for the aspect of God's Kingdom he's drawing you into, but it's not an automatic process.

In these sermon and application videos, I go into much more detail. I also suggest some homework. I recommend reading 1 Corinthians in addition to this message. The homework video will walk you through more instructions.

I am continuing this series for two more weeks. This coming weekend I will demystify the gifts and help you understand how love is the breeding ground for miracles and the demonstration of manifestations of the Holy Spirit.

Thanks for watching, I pray this message and exercise encourages you to step out in this gift if you desire to operate in it.

Here's my list from the suggested homework

• Testify of Jesus

• Exhort, edify, comfort

• Have to do with Christ's increasing Kingdom

• Can predict the future, warn, teach, or admonish

• Affirm salvation in Christ

Jesus Fulfilled Over 300 Prophecies Mathematically proving that he is the messiah

There are over 300 prophecies that point directly to the Messiah. Let’s start with eight and the odds of Jesus fulfilling just these eight.

1. The time of His birth (see the Daniel 8 & 9 Timeline)

2. He would be born in Bethlehem.  (Micah 5:2)

3. He would be born of a virgin.  (Isaiah 7:14)

4. He would be betrayed for 30 pieces of silver.  (Zechariah 11:12)

5. He would be mocked.  (Psalm 22:7,8)

6. He would be crucified.  (John 3:14)

7. He would be pierced.  (Psalms 22:16)

8. He would die with the wicked, but He would be buried with the rich.  (Isaiah 53:9)

By multiplying all of the estimates of the fulfillment of each prophecy together, (1 in 2.8 x 105 x 103 x 102 x 103 x 105 x 103 x 104.) This gives 1 in 2.8 x 1028, where 28 means that we have 28 ciphers following the 2.8. Let us simplify and reduce the number by calling it 1 in 1028. Written out this number is 1 in 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.

This is the answer to the question: One man in how many men has fulfilled these eight prophecies? But we are really concerned with the answer to the question: What is the chance that any man might have lived from the day of these prophecies down to the present time and have fulfilled all of the eight prophecies?

We can answer this question by dividing our 1028 by the total number of people who have lived since the time of these prophecies. The best information available indicates the number to be about 88 billion or 8.8 x 1010.

To simplify the computation let us call the number 1011. By dividing these two numbers we find that the chance that any man might have lived down to the present time and fulfilled all eight prophecies is 1 in 1017.

The odds of fulfillment and their explanation were calculated by Dr. Don Stoner on his website Science Speaks.
