As my father in the Lord would say, prophecy is for children and the word and mantle is
for mature adults. Children run around looking for prophecy but mature
adults have the word and power of God in them.
Our desire for the word of God must increase. Our love for revelations in the word
must increase. Building our faith is more important than anything else so
that when we hear a prophecy it only becomes
a confirmation of Gods word in our life. We must desire to know God for
ourselves so that there is unity in faith among the body of Christ.
The devil can hear your prophecy and attack you to hinder manifestation
but when you have the word in you, you can put the devil where he
belongs. Prophecy is one of the powerful gifts the body of Christ is gifted with, but without the word we cannot enjoy it to the fullest.
The good book says thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. Grow yourself in the Word. When you have the Word you have God on your inside. You are blessed.
