The Nature Of The PropheticSample

The Nature Of The Prophetic

DAY 4 OF 10

Considerate


But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. (James 3:17)


The nature of the prophetic is to be considerate and attentive. It is being responsive to and respectful of the Holy Spirit. Prophetic people need boldness to deliver prophetic revelation, but we also need sensitivity. If we aren’t considerate, we can grieve the Holy Spirit with our words, actions, or motivations.


Being considerate is not about watering down the Word of God. God’s Word is Truth. It is the one source of our doctrine and theology. Nor is being considerate about diluting any revelation that the Spirit is bringing. Being considerate means to keep in step with the intention of the Spirit and ensure that our own opinions or interests don’t corrupt the delivery of the prophetic or quench the Spirit of God. 


Carrying the nature of God doesn’t squash down the boldness of the prophetic. Godly character qualities provide boundaries so that your enthusiasm doesn’t get carried away to a place outside of Father’s will. If you are using your gifts in a considerate way, you won’t be seen as spooky, weird, or mystical. Spiritual gifts used in alignment with Father’s intention will result in a recognition of God’s sovereignty. You will reflect the nature of God and be seen as an encourager; one who is filled with faith and carrying the goodness of the Lord.
