"THE BASIS OF 
AUTHENTIC PROPHECY"

    Romans 4:16-21 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,  (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 

     This is the (Basis of Authentic Prophecy,) God through (our faith) calling things that are not as though they were in your prayers! Every Christian church believes in the power of prayer.  Well, the Holy Spirit  works through our prayers of "faith to move mountains." 

     Mark 11:23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

      This type of  (authentic prophetic faith) is a powerful and anointed gift of the Lord.  This gift allows us through strong faith to see and believe things to be even if in the natural we can't see them now.  We see through our faith, our spiritual eyesight.
     When we line our own spiritual (will,) with the divine (will) of our Father God, than we will be able to move in the Spiritual giftings of (Authentic Prophecy) freely.  One simply can't hear or know the will of the Father if they have not given over fully to his spiritual control and divine presence in their lives.  Only,.... by seeking the deeper hidden things of the Lord can one truly know Him.  This comes about by daily taking up one's cross and following where ever He may lead.

     Matthew 16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

     Notice I said where He may lead.  This is true leadership in the highest royal fashion.  Only by knowing the (heart and mind) of God can one move spiritually and have the "Basis of Authentic Prophecy within their lives."

     Mark 11:24-26 Therefore I say unto you, what things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.  and when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

     Authentic Prophecy will work freely if you are walking around with the mind and heart of God.  What you say and pray for in full belief will come about, only when you have developed a tremendous level of faith.  By knowing the heart of the Lord will the desires of your heart come about.  It might not come about the way you expect but it will happen if you are under the will of the Father in Heaven. 
    If you have any unforgiveness against anyone, than you are hindered in this kind of closeness with the Lord.  Forgiveness doesn't mean the other person has to apologize to you, it means you totally forgive and show them all the love that is in you to give.  How can God hear your prayers if you have unforgiving iniquity (sin) in your heart?  To know the mind and heart of God and have the kind of faith to move mountains, you must forgive. 
     Try looking at the larger picture, eternity will last forever and this world will pass away.  If you are holding unforgiveness against someone than you are hindering yourself or them from going to Heaven.  Pray for them, forgive them so that you are not hindered.  Do everything you can to see them in get to Heaven.  There they will love you with such a powerful love.  Try looking at them through the eyes of Jesus.  Try finding something good about them and remembering that your real enemy is Satan not them.  Allow the faith in your heart to grow and grow until there is no room for unforgiveness.
     The faith of Abraham was strong and sure.  He was an elderly man full of about a hundred years.  Yet he knew that if God told him he would be the father of many nations, he believed that it would happen.  Did he have to live long enough to see it happen? No, he just had to believe that it would.  Abraham just had to see with his spiritual eyes that it would happen just as the Lord said it would.  He had to see it having happened already by forcing his mind and eyes up and over his present circumstances to see the future.  Abraham knew  with a peaceful comforted heart, that even if he died, the Lord would bring it to pass.
    How many of you have children or grandchildren that you are believing by faith they will be in Heaven.  Claiming God's promise for your family, "Me and my household will worship the Lord."  If you have done the things I have said and know in your heart it will happen, then even if you die, they "will" be with you in Heaven.  You see it by faith!  You can feel it by faith!  You know it has already happened, even if in the natural it has not manifested itself yet as having happened.  It "will" happen because you are in tune with the will of God.   You know without a doubt that it "will happen."  This is seeing with the "Essence of Authentic Prophecy manifest itself in your life."
     When you can get your mind off of the world's lies and onto Jesus your relationship with the Lord deepens. The world goes about telling you that it can't when you know in your heart it will, then you are getting in line with the will of God.  Put the lies of the world behind you.  Let yourself see with full faith those things which be not as though they were. This is walking in full faith and allowing the Holy Spirit to work in your life manifesting the will of God for you. 
     Is this "you" name it and claim it? No, this is "not" power of yourself but of the Lord working through you.  You can't force the hand of God, but when you have a strong personal relationship with the Lord, you will know the mind of God.  When you are in line with the Word of God, when you are walking so closely that you know the mind of God then you are opened to hearing his voice for your life.  You will then be able to hear what the Lord has told your heart what will be.  You by faith can then "pray and believe" for it to happen and then see those things which be not as though they were.
     When you apply this to healing then you know that the Lord is with you and healing takes place.  You see by faith you having received your healing, even though in the natural you may be sick.  When you pray believing for healing and you have been diligently seeking the face of God in your life, then healing takes place. 
     You know by reading and studying God's Word that it is the will of God that you are healed.  "By His stripes we are healed.  Are being it has already happened, we just have to by faith reach out and accept that healing.  You pray asking for that healing and then you by faith "see" yourself well.  It doesn't matter what your fleshly eyes see in the natural, you know by faith and spiritual eyesight that you "are healed."  If it will help your faith,  look a couple of years down the road and see yourself healed.  See yourself running and full of joy!  This is the kind of faith that is personal prophecy for your life.  It doesn't matter how much medicine or how many doctors that you have to see, you never and "I mean never stop" seeing yourself healed.  Abraham believed for a lifetime and you can too.
     The "Basis of Authentic Prophecy" is a powerful and anointed gift of the Lord.  It allows us through strong faith to see and believe things to be even if in the natural we can't see them now.  We see through our faith, our spiritual eyesight.  "The Basis of Authentic Prophecy" can be a strong part of your life.  You and only you, can make the choice to walk in full faith following the Lord or not.  It's a free gift, you just have to reach out and take it.  God will perfect your faith if you diligently see the will of God through active worship, praise and prayer.  Put your whole focus upon the things of the Lord and this type of faith "will" start manifesting itself in your life.
