•February 24, 2016•Session 4/13•These are your notes and at the same time your activation.

THANKFUL TO THE LORD• I 'am so thankful to the Lord our God for all of you assisting to this

seminar. I thank Him because you have faithfully decided to set time aside and invest it in learning more about the business of His Kingdom. If Moses could see you, he would be so thankful to God for the prophetic anointing in you as he desired that every one should prophesy. If Paul could see you he would say Yes! You are pursuing Love and the desire of the highest gift is in your heart. They cannot see you. But God Almighty sees you, and He is not just enjoying seen you long for the highest gift, but He liberally is pouring out His anointing in your life and on your ministry. He is activating all the revelatory gifts in you, because He wants you to be great in battle, He wants you to victoriously expand His kingdom wherever you go.

• As I said in our first meeting: I can see ministries coming out of this group. There are the ones called to become Evangelists, Preachers, Teachers, Pastors, Apostles, Godly Business People, Entrepreneurs, Counselors, Advisors, Aides and men and women in general, with a burning desire to receive our Father God’s love and passed on to the next generation. You are people who are walking under the shadow of God Almighty and have unashamedly embraced the cross of Christ proclaiming continuously the Gospel of the Kingdom. You are thankful but not satisfied with the anointing portion that is in your life and upon you, but you know so well there is much more, and you long for an increased anointing. Stay on the line, for those who wait on the Lord receive their supernatural strength. Keep your Eyes fixed on Him until He’ll be gracious to you. Keep your hand extended and choose to see the invisible realm and you will see the Mighty Lord your God holding your right hand, You will be able to hear Him saying: “Fear not, I am the one who helps you”

PROPHETIC PRACTICEPART ONE

• In groups of three:• From the scriptures given to you in your notes, select one, read it

mentally and use its content to prophesy to your partner. You can use the whole scripture or just the part that has made impact in you. Don’t read the scripture on the person. Use the revelation from the scripture to speak live in to the life of your friend.

your partner.• Same procedure, your partner will speak into your life.

JOURNALING• You have received a passage from the bible.• Dialogue with the Lord about this passage.• Write down the revelation• Next Wednesday you will be called to the front to share this word with the

presents.• You could read it if you want.• But I’d prefer if you just spoke it out without reading.• Remember you are here to learn to prophesy, but at the same time you

are learning how to become a leader and how to address to an audience.
