i have many many memorable moments in prophecy where I have prophesied over
individuals i think probably the most exciting one to me and fulfilling is to pray
over individuals and to see the reactions as they hear something that they know
only that they only know about it they know that God and themselves the person standing
giving them that word doesn't know anything about the situation so it's called a word of knowledge
a word of knowledge is really something that you know the person is going through it's more insight
word of knowledge also has the understanding of something that the person's been through as well
and this is where people get mixed up with psychics because what psychics really do is
they tap into memories so they go into the the memory bank of a human being and can only deal
with the past they cannot deal with the future they try but usually it doesn't happen so i'll
go into memories and access the memories of a human being the names of dogs and animals and
things that they went through in their life that is not the word of knowledge the word of knowledge
is god giving you a specific word about a specific situation that deeply touches that human being but
it has life to it it's not a matter of just touching the soul it touches the entire being
a psychic a medium they only touch the soul area and then contaminate it as well because never lead
you to the future which is prophetic so the one thing about the reward for me personally is when
i prophesy over a human being and you know that change is their life forever now that's happened
over a period of 35-36 years i don't do it as much anymore because the lord has moved
me to another dimension of prophecy but i do it occasionally and it's very moving for me
personally and the person that's being affected by it i don't go around claiming that i know
everything about a person's life so that people are intimidated a lot of prophets that
walk around wanting to intimidate people because it's a power thing i know what
you thinking got to realise something that the prophet is a human being just like everyone else
and operates at times under this the spirit of revelation and is not constantly in that place
where you can prophesy some believe that you can prophesy at all times well type of prophecy that
i'm talking about is not the prophecy you can do all the time that's that's basically exhortation
and encouragement and that's very good to do the prophecy i'm talking about is the combining of the
word of wisdom the word of knowledge the working of the miracles and prophecy those four gifts
as stated in first in corinthians under the gifts of the spirit and you can go read them
up there nine gifts of the spirit and nine fruits of the spirit the nine gifts of the spirit that i
operate and the four that operate in is word of knowledge word of wisdom word of wisdom is
understanding the future as well so you have knowledge which is past and present
wisdom which is present and future look at that combined with the gift of the working of miracles
because once you speak that word the working of a miracle takes place very unusual type of miracle
not always just physical it could be the many things changing your situation
and then of course there is the gift of prophecies which is the actual expression
of the word of knowledge and the word of wisdom i know this will help a lot of people because
a lot of you have some of those gifts when you're a true prophet you have a combination of them all
that's why i'm so opposed to prophets that are constantly prophesying death and judgment
because god is good as well and so if you remove the goodness aspect of it you're going to take
them and put them back under law one of the dangers of the present church in America is that
there's this desire and drive to put them back under law and that's very dangerous because law
actually causes man to sin more the bible speaks about that that under law i try to do what i
need to do what is right and yet i find myself doing wrong because you're driven by the law
whereas when you're driven by grace you know that he has forgiven you already and it's not so
easy to sin because you want to please him and so i'm sharing about memorable moments but i'm
teaching at the same time about what the gift of prophecy is so you can understand how it works so
these gifts that work together are to equip people not to fascinate them
a person that goes around claiming that he knows all your dirty thoughts and all your your bad
laundry is not a true prophet that is not a true prophet of the living god in the new testament i'm
not saying you to go around flattering people but Jesus commanded us to tell good news therefore the
prophetic is not excluded from giving good news if a teacher is to teach and it brings forth good
news then why would a prophet bring bad news and there are times as you've seen with my prophetic
ministry that i have told or foretold something that would happen like Katrina or 911 and it's
not that i rejoiced in doing so but i just knew that it was inevitable it was going to happen
Now having said that some of our most memorable moments one of them especially and i'll show you
how the contradiction works i was in a place in Texas at a church a fairly large church and i was
on the platform and i was flowing and teaching and i'll tell you what happened that day i was holding
the microphone speaking and suddenly somebody jumped on the platform quite a big guy grabbed
the microphone from me and started screaming on it well i'm a warrior i don't like to be
put into that position so i grabbed it out of his hand
and said this is my platform my microphone and carried on speaking well he proceeded to attack me
and the pastor had a few of his sort of security guys basically come grab this guy and walk him off
the stage but in the process he broke one of the security guy's nose and managed to pull out a gun
and managed to run away eventually the police were called in because the young guy returned and he's
he was going to shoot me because of my statement about the rapture
and which many people misunderstand when i when i've spoken about the rapture
and i'll speak about in a few minutes because one of the questions that you've asked me is
what do i believe about the rapture and we'll deal with that a little later on
anyway he came back with a loaded gun and of course the police were there and
they managed to get away and they couldn't find him so they sent protection at my hotel this is in
Beaumont Port Arthur Texas they they sent a they put a policeman outside my door for the night to
protect me because this guy was bent on killing me eventually they caught this this guy and of course
he went to jail and whatever happened about that but the fact is that i was under attack
now i've answered the question about the prophet's reward he goes through something
there's an attack there's warfare surrounding him but there's a great reward well i carried on the
meetings the next night i was speaking about the fact that when somebody dies do their prayers die
with them if a mother has prayed a prayer for her son and then she dies what happens to that prayer
when a great man of god dies what happens to that gift does the gift die did the gift die
with Joseph did the gift die with Elijah no it didn't it's transferred and then there's a
double portion attached to it so the time it gets to us thousands of years later there should be
a thousand fold upon that gift that's why Jesus said it is necessary that i go to the father
so that i can send the spirit to you so that you can do greater works in my name
in other words when one person dies the gift doesn't but it doubles and so on now i was
sort of teaching on those lines and i walked down the aisle and there was a
man sitting near the back of the church and was almost shaking it was he was in such a state
alcoholic obviously not a christian not a believer and i told him to stand up and he stood up very
he was very shy and just put his head down and i think it was more shame than anything else put his
head down and i sit here and suddenly i caught a glimpse of a tombstone and i saw the name Emily
and the dates and the dates were and i don't know the exact dates now but i saw them then
i said i see this name Emily and i see um brown and i see the dates from 1930
so and so until 1991 or whatever it was this man broke down now that's called a word of knowledge
to where i've seen the past and the present and the insight that is given for this present moment
now where do we go from there i said to him you're crying he was crying he was upset and i
looked at him and i said to him obviously this means something to you i said but before you
say anything to me i'm going to tell you what i'm hearing from the Holy Spirit i said what i'm
hearing is this person Emily Brown her prayers were for a young man by the name of Leroy Brown
and of course he just started screaming i didn't know his name was Leroy Brown and
i didn't know at the time because i was from South Africa that there was a song called bad
Leroy Brown meanest man and well we once said exact words in the town i think that's the word
and of course afterwards they laughed about it because i didn't know about the song
but this man started weeping and weeping and he said i'm Leroy Brown
and he said i'm bad Leroy Brown and i said your mother prayed that one day you would come to a
church and you would give your life to christ and today her prayer is going to be answered
and he fell on his knees and he gave his life back to christ
god delivered from alcohol and the pastor followed up on it in battle Leroy Brown is good ol Leroy
Brown now now the fact is i want you to see how powerful first of all the prayers of somebody that
even though that person may die or pass on that prayer still exists in the spirit and that prayer
pronounced that night that life and i was the prophet that picked it up and was able to prophesy
that of his life and bring him to christ now we have many many stories i could tell you so many
of wonderful things that happen but look at the contradiction a young man coming and trying to
kill me the police guarding my door and the next door next day one human being important to God,
Jesus would have come and died on the cross if it were just for you just for one human being he did
it for Leroy Brown and sent me all the way to Port Arthur and the enemy tried to drive me out of town
but i refuse i stayed until the next night and because of that Emily Brown's prayers were
answered and Leroy Brown came into the kingdom of god one of those memorable moments for me you
