This document provides information on developing the gift of prophecy. It begins by welcoming participants to a seminar on learning to prophesy. It then discusses that prophecy involves speaking words of edification, exhortation and comfort. It encourages pursuing the gift of prophecy and outlines several ways to develop the prophetic gift, including coveting the gift, releasing faith through God's word, operating in the anointing through worship, being around anointed people, triggering the gift at appropriate times, discerning the spirit, and stirring up the gift through reading scripture aloud. It concludes by providing two prophetic declarations for participants to learn and declare over their own lives concerning favor and blessing.

How to develop the
Gift of Prophecy in
your ministry.

2. Welcome to
Learning to Prophesy
Seminar
MARCO LAFEBRE,
LEADER

3. THE REALM OF
PROPHECY
SUBTITLE

4. 14 Pursue love, and
desire spiritual gifts, but
especially that you may
prophesy.
1 CORINTHIANS 14:1 (NKJV)

5. 3 But he who prophesies
speaks edification and
exhortation and comfort
to men.
1 CORINTHIANS 14:3 NKJV

6. So prophesying is speaking:
• Edification, Exhortation, Comfort.
• Expressions as:
• You are going to have a bad year,
• You are going to loss your family,
• You are going to bankrupt, etc.
• Those are not prophetic words. Don’t receive them, rebuke
them!

7. Remember: Prophecy is for
• Edification: To strengthen you in your spirit, soul and
body. (3 John 1:2)
• Exhortation: To Stir you up, so you can be able to do
the things God wants you to do.
• Comfort: To bring peace. (2Timothy 1:7)
• When you are prophesying, you cannot move outside of
the realm of edification, exhortation and comfort.

8. Prophecy of our days, was
originated in the fire of
Pentecost.
• Prophecy, is the spark that kindles the fire of the Holy Spirit
in the hearts of people in the church.
• Not only that, Prophecy is the fire that reveals the secrets
of the hearts of unbelievers convicting them of sin and
causing them to recognize that God is in the midst

9. Prophets are chosen vessels
• They work with accuracy using the revelatory gifting :
• Words of knowledge, words of wisdom, discerning of
spirits, confirmation, revelation, illumination.
• They are into predictions, into visions, into de ministry of
confirmation.
• Confirmation is a very important word; the word of a
prophet can confirm you on your ministry or your career, so
you can finish strong.

10. • 1 Corinthians 14:29 (NKJV)
• 29 Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others
judge.
• You cannot judge the Prophet,
• You judge the prophecy.

11. HOW TO DEVELOP
THE PROPHETIC
INYOUR MINISTRY.

12. 1 You need to covet the gift.
Ask for it!!!
• 1 Corinthians 14:1 Amplified Bible (AMP)
• Prophecy a Superior Gift
• 14 Pursue [this] love [with eagerness, make it your goal], yet
earnestly desire and cultivate the spiritual gifts [to be used by
believers for the benefit of the church], but especially that you
may [a]prophesy [to foretell the future, to speak a new
message from God to the people].
• If you are a believer, If you are baptized in the Holy Spirit, the
“GIFT” is already in you.You need to use it, to cultivate it.To
nurture it.

13. 2 You have to release your faith!
• Romans 12:6-8New King JamesVersion (NKJV)
• Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to
us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to
our faith;
• The faith that you know have will increase with the exercise of the gift.
Use what you have now. Don’t compare yourself to others!!!
While you are driving, while you are shopping, while you are waiting on
line, where ever you are, practice the gift.
The secret here is: keep reading and listening the word of God.
Declare aloud scriptures over your life.

14. How do you increase your faith?
• Romans 10:17 (NKJV)
• 17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word
of God.
• To activate the prophetic, you need to release faith.
How you can release faith if you don’t have it?
Get some!You know how it comes…
It’s release by the word of God.
Faith is that power that its deposited in your life.
God’s word itself

15. 3 You need to learn to operate
in the realm of the anointing
• Worship connect us with the anointing.
• Worship connects you with person of Jesus, as He becomes
real in worship.
• We commune with the Lord;This is our prayer life,
• When we commune with him, we get connected to the
anointing
• When you connect with the Lord the anointing flows.
• When the anointing flows, it empowers your prophetic.

16. Spirit to spirit.
• You receive the word into our spirit man.
• Once theWord of God gets into your heart,
• Once the word of God becomes life,
• Then Jesus becomes real into your life.
• When Jesus becomes real, you get connected to the
anointing of God.

17. 4 You must be around
of an anointed person.
• You cannot receive the prophetic if you are away from the
prophetic realm.
• You need to bring yourself under the anointing of someone
that is anointed.
• There you will hear specific words
• Something will happen that will trigger it
• Do you remember Saul and the soldier sent to capture
Samuel?

18. The anointing is transferable.
• Anointing steers the anointing.
• You can come under the umbrella of the anointing were you
will get steered up.
• An umbrella can be a Minister, a tape, a cassette, a CD, a
book; even a place where the presence of the Lord is.
• When you come under the umbrella of the prophetic,
something will happen to you.
• God will give you a specific word.You will be a new
creature.

19. Jeremiah 20:9 (NKJV)
• 9Then I said, “I will not make mention of Him,
Nor speak anymore in His name.”
But His word was in my heart like a burning fire
Shut up in my bones;
I was weary of holding it back,
And I could not.
• Once you have the inspired word in you, the anointing will press
you to speak out.

20. Jeremiah 15:16 (NKJV)
• 16Your words were found, and I ate them,
AndYour word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart;
For I am called byYour name,
O LORD God of hosts.
• You will feel joy and rejoicing in your heart.

21. Psalm 45:1 (NKJV)
• The Glories of the Messiah and His Bride
• To the Chief Musician. Set to “The Lilies.”[a] A
Contemplation[b] of the sons of Korah. A Song of Love.
• 45 My heart is overflowing with a good theme;
I recite my composition concerning the King;
My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
• You will start to fill good without any reason.

22. 5 Triggering the prophetic
• Again, when you are under the anointing, under the ministry of
someone anointed, that anointing will rub on you eventually.
• When that anointing start to work into your life, the prophetic will
break out when you speak the received word at the right time.
• The best times to prophesy in a gathering is when a session of
intense worship has concluded.
• Also, when a time of silence in the presence of the Lord is going on.

23. 6 Learn to discern the thoughts and
the strength of the Spirit.
• Learn to discern the thoughts of the spirit, the strength of
his presence.
• To properly prophesy you need to sense the strength of the
wind.
• You will feel an stirring of the Holy Spirit, you don’t need to
be afraid. If you are afraid the anointing will lift.
• You need to loosen the anointing, to speak out, to let it go.
• It is important before the prophetic breaks out to bring
every thought into subjection to the Holy Spirit.

24. 7 Stir up the Gift of Prophecy
• 2Timothy 1:6 (NKJV)
• 6Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is
in you through the laying on of my hands.
• I believe the best way to stir up the gift is by reading the
bible aloud.
• You stir up the gifts of God faster when you hear yourself
talking

your own life

27. •Father, In the name of Jesus Christ, I thankYou

through Jesus Christ.

28. •Just as Abraham walked inYour supernatural

No obstacle can stop me,
No hindrances can delay me in Jesus name.
