Prophetic Prodigies
I was going to take somewhat of a hiatus from blogging since I fired out several in a row here on Fire On Your Head. However, since I have a few moments here I thought I would just write and see what happens. The goal in the break from blogging was to spend some time compiling a book, so if you are a publisher reading this, by all means publish mine!
Today I listened to the podcast entitled What is a Prophetic Culture? twice. It is a discussion between myself, Steve Bremner, and Miguel Jackson. Steve you know if you follow Fire On Your Head with any regularity, and Miguel you will hopefully get to know. He is a Catalyst at our church, Bethel Atlanta. He has a heart for the Father, for community, and equipping others in the prophetic. Even though I was part of the conversation on the podcast, I was immersed with new thoughts and revelations while listening. So this post is a result of some of those and we will see where we end up. By the way, if you have not yet listened to the podcast then stop now and listen, some of the stuff I cover will make more sense if you do, cheerio.
Prophetic Prodigy
I want to start with the title: “Prophetic Prodigies”. Such a statement to me is almost too profound to even begin to expound upon. So many thoughts and considerations hit my mind at the mention of such a statement. Peculiarly enough, I stumbled across this statement while prophesying to a young lady we will call Saga. She is 15 years old and the amount (for lack of a more descriptive term) of the depth of God I saw in her was mind blowing. Even to look into her eyes was prophetic. It was like seeing the things past being fulfilled by the things to come in the present in her. You knew that Jesus lived in her for His personality and gifts were shinning through her. The word the Spirit spoke to me for her to describe all of this was prophetic prodigy.
Well that opened up something, as I mentioned some in the podcast. You hear of prodigies in music, arts, and sports. What about prodigies in the Church? Young people in our midst tapping into things as they are fathered and raised at young ages that bring revelation to the Body of Christ and advance the kingdom of heaven in their generation.
This is not a new concept. I was at the first Call event in Washington DC in 2000. Lou Engle’s son was praying like this: “Lord, raise them up at 12 instead of 21.” Woah! How powerful! I heard it, then being 20, and now 10 years later I finally saw it in a 15 year old girl and was absolutely stunned. I heard it and grasped it but seeing it was an entirely different story. His son was 12, by the way, when he prayed that.
Our young people are supposed to be empowered. Imagine what David felt after Samuel poured all that oil on his head as a young man. Purpose, faith, excitement, future, and calling I am sure flooded his soul. He had something to live for, and more than that, it was something for God. His call was not limited to this life or this generation, it was a call for the ages. His life from that point on was being driven by that prophetic word. Part of him growing up, him relating to others, relating to God, was all now focused as a beam of light through the prism of that prophetic word.
