Prophetic Origin

The Father’s Heart

The prophetic begins within the Father’s Heart. His heart is filled with thoughts concerning us.

The Father ‘s heart is filled with plans, ideas and strategies for people, regions, churches, and nations.

“My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge” [Recount the story of Hosea & Gomer]

“Therefore, my people have gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge.”

The picture religion has painted of God is mostly inaccurate. A picture that does not embrace the fulness of His nature. Oftentimes, this leads to shame and reproach.

The Father’s Heart is depicted accurately and perfectly so in the Story of the Prodigal Son. While many of us would have given up on the son; and like the son given up on our position within the Father’s house, here is a Father who sees His son afar off and runs to him.

What is interesting is, most likely the son did not look like a son or even smell like a son, but the Father runs and embraces Him.

This is the language of the Prophetic – A language that speaks beyond what can be seen and reaches for a language that is birthed in the Heart of God himself and when spoken gives life to creativity and potential.

From Genesis, God revealed Himself as a speaking God. In , we see God returning daily to communicate with Adam and Eve.

– It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search it out is the glory of kings.

God HIDES things in His heart. Why do I say this?

Any time God is about to do something in the earth – HE SPEAKS! What comes out of our mouth is a perfect picture of what is in OUR HEARTS – So it is with God.

What God has said, is saying and will say – is a picture of what is within HIS heart.

One Bible teacher puts it this way; God has hidden things FOR us and not from us. We must therefore be diligent in our pursuit of this knowledge of what is in the Father’s heart.
