all right senior leader The Awakening House of Prayer founder of the ignite
network I'm coming to you today live from a my loft with a word from the Lord
I want to talk to you today just briefly about five big mistakes emerging
prophets make you know what I would even say that these five mistakes are not
just mistakes that emerging prophets and prophetic voices make but I believe
their mistakes that prophets had any at any point in the broader point in their
walk with God can make now when I say emerging prophets in emerging prophetic
voices I am not speaking just about people who are young you know as I
mentioned there are people in my ignite prophetic mento what network that are in
the mentoring class the extreme prophetic mentoring and they are well
older than I am but they're just stepping into their calling they're just
stepping into the acknowledgment the understanding that they are a prophet or
they are a prophetic person with a prophetic ministry you have to
understand that it's not the emerging part is not about the age you could have
been walking in the prophetic since you were five years old you might have been
trained right out of your mother's womb I mean you might have been like we're
doing with baby Judah we're just I'm telling you this boy's first words are
going to be thus saith the Lord I am training him from birth he's a little
seer praise God right now he likes to see a bottle just about better than
anything else praise the Lord that boy can eat but
listen it's not about the age it's about the experience so when I say emerging
prophets maybe you're 90 maybe you're 70 maybe you're 50 years old maybe you are
12 I am maybe you're an emerging prophetic voice you know God said in the
last stays I will pour out my spirit on all
flesh and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy x2 and seventeen
beginning there you read this you know your old men shall dream dreams your
young men shall see visions now the old men are dreaming dreams just because
they're old Mesa people I've that's that's the discrimination this is
stopping now in the prophetic we're not to discriminate among the young among
the old maybe you got born again and you're 50 years old and got bad they
called you into the prophetic maybe you're 13 years old and you've got an
accurate prophetic gift like nothing the net nothing our generation has ever seen
it's not about the age when I say emerging prophets it's not about the age
but nevertheless listen I'm teaching these things in my ignite network but I
want to teach these more broadly you know in the nightmare work we're really
pressing for a pure prophetic flow and and we're teaching and training but I
can't just leave everything there I've got to share some with the rest of the
world because that's what I'm called to do so let's get into these five mistakes
that big mistakes that emerging prophets make number one get getting ahead of God
getting ahead of God getting ahead of God you know you can you know when I was
first called that there was an apostle who laid his hands on me this must have
been I guess now eighteen years ago and he said he said a voice of governing
authority I I unlock and I released that voice now I didn't know it but that was
my calling it took me a minute to figure it out I didn't know much about prophets
and prophetic people thank God for Bishop Hill Hammond who wrote the
trilogy office I thank God for books now like the making of a prophet that really
are unlocking things for people but there's a calling now at the moment that
you're called is not the time to run out sound an alarm
I'm a prophet donations hallelujah is not time to wax religious or to wax
proud it's not listen to me it's not time dear ones to go out and get a
business card that says prophet of the Most High such as such and so-and-so
prophet to the nation's don't do that that is setting yourself up for a big
fall you need to remain a humble don't let your calling again it puts you ahead
of the commissioning in other words there is a space of time between the
calling and the commissioning sometimes the space is short
sometimes the space is long part of that depends on how much you yield to the
Holy Spirit I like the way Daniel kolenda put it you know here's the
problem he got social media today we got the Facebook prophets and we have all
these people think they think their prophet and their prophesy prophesy had
prophesied was with well I'm getting ahead of myself
Daniel Cullen to put it this way he said when Jesus called his disciples the
clearest explanation I've ever heard when Jesus called his disciples he
didn't call them to be apostles prophets evangelists pastors and teachers he
simply called them to follow him to follow him he called them to follow him
they were not called as an apostle they were not called they were called to
follow him as they followed him jesus promised that he would make them into
fishers of men remember that now the disciples left their nets immediately to
follow Jesus but they were not made into fishers of men immediately there was a
making process right there were a season of training between when Jesus called
them to follow him and when he commissioned them to preach the gospel
and that was a three-year period now for some people it might be less some people
might be more but there is a making process that you must go through that's
why I wrote the making up the Prophet book which has been a best-seller it's
been translated in different languages it's on it's like fifth printing now
Amen Bishop bill Hamrick before that's why I'm doing the making of the Prophet
webinar at school the spirit TV why because you need to know what you're
going through you need to understand this making process otherwise you will
be tempted to you to not yield to the Lord and he'll be marred in the hand to
the Potter we must yield to the hand the Lords of
the making process so number one getting ahead of God thinking that oh my gosh
I've been called a prophet and I got to start running and props I know you need
to get started to start training and yielding what you need to do it really
I'm talking to you like a mother in the faith because that's what I am and I
want you to see look I'm a lot older than I look
I hope tell me I'm a lot older than I look tell me how y'all gotta praise God
I'm a lot older than I'm a lot younger than I look is what I meant to say dear
God help me I'm not prophesying number two number
two rejecting accountability and advice rejecting accountability and advice you
know you get these emerging prophets and they sometimes sometimes they get some
social media popularity because it's so easy to be a facebook prophet now and
they're tied to know when they're not accountable to no one as a matter of
fact right now there's a lot of people preaching about alignment but they're
not aligned with anyone or if they are aligned with them they reject the
counsel they reject the advice they say hahaha and they think it's funny when
they get corrected it's not funny when you get corrected it's a serious issue
you take it to heart and you change and you grow and you learn and you take it
to God and you say God help me to help me to help me to take this counsel this
wise counsel so rejecting accountability is huge
that's why they ignite Network we have a level of accountability alive so that we
can grow together proverbs 15 22 says proverbs 15 22 says plans lack for lack
plans fail for lack of counsel but by many advisers they succeed now you could
put the word prophets their prophets fail for lack of counsel there are a lot
of prophets out there that are failing they're failing to live up to the
standard of Jesus they're failing to live up to the character of Christ
they're failing to and I'm talking about can we all fall short
of the glory of God I'm not talking about that kind of failing I'm talking
about the kind of failing whether they're not receiving counsel so they're
failing because they're big they're they're being corrected they're being
disciplined but they won't receive it they're rejected because they somehow
think they know better than everybody's coming a teenager you know I had my
daughter just turned 21 today can you believe it I can't believe it twenty-one
years old I remember when I was 21 but when she was a teenager she thought she
knew everything I didn't figure out that I didn't know everything till I was 40
then I started to realize how much I didn't know amen and I started to really
really value wise counsel where there is no counsel proverbs 11:2 14 where there
is no counsel the people fall but in the multitude of counselors there is safety
so you could say this where there is no counsel the prophets fall we've seen a
lot of profits fall haven't we now some of them have been high level prophets
and some of them have been prophets who nobody really knows as well but when
when prophets fall when pastors fall when apostles fall it hurts everybody it
hurts everybody whoever's connected them is hurt by it and then here we see a
proverbs 15 verse 32 those who disregard discipline despise themselves now that's
pretty intense but the one who heeds correction gains understanding you could
say prophets who disregard discipline despise themselves why is your sending
yourself up for trouble so please please please please please if you say if
you're claiming to be a prophet get an alignment with somebody but not just
anybody you can't you'll mail away for an ordination certificate in my network
what we do is I have to run with you for a while you can sign up for a live
animals will cover you spiritually but I do not go to ordain you and Commission
you until I get to know you why because it's irresponsible so it's not just a
ticket to an ordination piece of paper so you can go out and say well I've been
you know it's not about that it's about it's about realignment is about
relationship you can you combine ordination certificate off the internet
for 39.99 and never have to talk to anybody there are certain ministries in
the body of Christ where you can mail the way for an ordination kit all you
have to do is is is is watch the video class pay your $79.99 or however much it
is and and then you get your papers in the mail there you know if you want a
commission you can go to a mass commissioning service there is stuck
with it this is not how it should work you know we're talking about alignment
we're talking about getting counsel we're talking about getting wisdom you
can't do that through a mail-away ordination service please don't fall for
that it's about relationship now relationship with your apostle does not
mean that you can have coffee every day that you're gonna call them on the phone
every week every time you sneeze or have a cough I'm sick would you pray that's
not the kind of advice I'm talking to maybe there I'm talking about strategy
I'm talking about speaking into your life but then you've got to be able to
receive it so be careful about the Apollo some prophets that want to preach
alignment but they don't have any they're not accountable to anybody be
careful and watch those mail away orders too that's just silly number three the
third mistake not up that emerging prophets make fit failing to deal with
root issues in their heart and character now this is why this is my first my
first book on the prophetic I wrote in 2007 can you believe that I wrote it in
2007 and it was it's called the heart of the prophetic and it deals with the
issues of the heart and really it's one of my best-selling books I don't know
what people think that's gonna be but it's it helps you you know it's not just
about it's not just about the heartbeat of in terms of God through God's mouth
speaking through you got you know releasing God's heart that's part of the
heart pretty really but it's about what's in your heart so you know if
you've got pride if you've got if you've got a love of money then
you're gonna fall if you don't root that out do if you've got you know Self Self
Self Self Self you're gonna fall if you don't root that out you know if you've
got if you've got idols if you know if you're gonna fall as a prophet if you
don't root that you cannot propose to be a mouthpiece for God and walk around
with poor character now here's the thing listen here's the thing the gifts in
college with God are without repentance that's why we see some bitter bitter
prophets out there and you can see they're bitter you can see it but they
still have an axe or a gift in other realms so they're they're partly they're
partly erroneous because some of the stuff they're they're prophesying is
really is out of bitterness but some of it's right because they still have a
gift so be very very careful you don't want bitterness to be in your heart you
don't want to forgive this to be in your heart you don't want self self self or
or or pride pride pride or whatever it is you don't want these things in your
heart you've got to get these things out of your heart but many times you can't
see it because you're blinded to it many times you don't know it because you
don't because the nature of deception is that you cannot see that is why we go
back to number two having accountability amen it all works together
number four the fourth mistake the fourth big mistake immersing prophets
made is prophesying without an unction if you begin to gain any popularity at
all on the prophetic movement you'll have this pressure on you to prophesy
all the time and if you prophesy without an unction you're setting yourself up
for divination for witchcraft for tapping into the spirit illegally or
just prophesying what says your soul instead of what says the Spirit of God
and we listen the Bible says Jesus said that will be held accountable for every
idle word how much more so words we speak in his name I did a video the
other day it's on Facebook and so on Instagram you can follow my Instagram
it's V Jennifer LeClaire YouTube is youtube.com slash J in LeClaire I put a
lot of content there as well you'll be able to find the replay
this there for example but you know I put I put a video of whose name are you
prophesy in you prophesy in the name of Jesus and the spirit of the testimony of
Jesus is the spirit of prophecy where you prophesied in your own name to make
a name for yourself oh boy that's a whole nother thing go watch that video
prophesied without an unction what do I mean
first Peter what I'm sorry second Peter 1 and 21 the Bible says for her prophecy
never had its origin in the human will but prophets through humans spoke from
God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit some some person says they
were moved by the Holy Spirit no an ocean is a bubbling forth you just
it's like firing my bones like Jim I talked about you just you just feel the
word like sometimes it's not about feelings understand but you just you
just sense it's not natural things it's a spiritual sensing a spiritual feeling
God was the props they are you hear a word you can pray in the pray in tongues
until you get a word but if you know what happened word don't release the
word don't prophesy if you don't have something to say please don't prophesy
and number five tripping themselves up with pride tripping themselves up with
pride first Corinthians you know what when I
first was called the prophetic I was getting all these words that's just tons
of them and my mentor asked my best friend at the time how is she doing what
she meant was is she being puffed up with pride because you know when you
begin to get revelation many times you can fall into pride and I'm seeing
ministers right now who are very gifted in the body of Christ they get a lot of
revelation they flow in in all kinds of spiritual gifts but they've surrounded
themselves with yes men and they fall into pride and nobody will tell them but
their gift still works their gift still works their gift still works their gift
stores because the gift of God is without repentance but they don't see
that a fall is coming because nobody around them will tell them and you can't
unless you're in relationships you got to be careful
you got to be careful don't surround yourself with yes-men Paul said you know
because of all the revelations that I have the Lord sent me a mess
you're a thorn in my side so that he wouldn't be puffed up amen now here's
the scripture first Corinthians 18 and 1 we know that we all possess knowledge
but knowledge puffs up while love builds up so what are you doing it is your
prophesy edifying if your is your prophesy edifying yourself are you doing
it to look at are you prophesy angle because you want love to build up the
people up because God is love and every communication that comes out of his
mouth is inspired by love again because he is love so watch out for pride
because pride comes before the fall I would have prayed for you especially if
you're an emerging prophet I don't care how old you are how young you are I
don't look at age I look at anointing and character amen don't just look at
the anointing look at the character reminds you that my making of a prophet
webinar is available now it's it's coming out assuming I'm gonna be doing
it live we're going deep it's it's not just same as my book the making of a
prophet it goes much deeper I'm gonna be doing Q&A we're gonna go deep with the
QA even if we have to do a bonus webinar if we run out of time I've got to go
somewhere face the Q&A extent I'm gonna answer your questions as many as I
possibly can I've got different levels of
participation with the making of a prophet webinar you know there's even
one level where you can get to 45 minute sessions with me to talk about your
calling and your gifts and get that advice that maybe nobody else will give
you I've never done such a thing before probably people are going to tell me
