SID: Hello Sid Roth, your investigative reporter the supernatural here with Kris Vallotton. And I am so excited because Kris moves in the office of prophet. I mean, he just staggered me with a prophetic word before we went on the air and he has a school; his Bethel Church has a school in which he is raising up people to move in the supernatural of God, but in particular prophecy. Now Kris, I move in the prophetic but I want to move deeper. I want you to give me some tips.
KRIS: Well one thing that you need to do is learn how the Holy Spirit speaks. You know that God isn’t human, and his first language isn’t English.
SID: I found in dreams I get; you know what? I tell God, I say God I don’t want this multiple guess; I don’t want this symbolism; talk to me like you did Moses: face to face!
KRIS: And you know, the more clearer God talks to you, the more responsibility you have for the word.
SID: Okay, forget it then. (laughs) No, no – I’m just teasing.
KRIS: You know one of the things we need to do is be responsible with the, with what God gives to us and remember that…
SID: If I can trust you with little things, then I can trust you with big things.
KRIS: That’s exactly right. You know when God started training me in prophetic ministry; I shared on this show actually; how I came out of the whole demonic oppression, and when I came out of that, a still a small voice stayed there. And I mean, I began to you know; I told you I heard demonic voices and had visions and all and when those voices left a still small voice stayed; and the Lord would give me things to do. He would tell me – one time, here’s an example: I’m coming out of 7/11 and there is garbage coming out of the garbage can out all over the ground you know and I go to leave, and the Lord says pick up that garbage. And I’m like, and the Lord says pick up that garbage and I drive all the way home and I’m sitting at the dinner table and the Lord says pick up that garbage. I get in my car drive all the way back and the Lord says, until you can be faithful in the little things that no one sees I will not let you minister to my people. So for years; two months later, I wake up in the morning and I say Lord; you know, I’m learning about the prophetic ministry; and I say Lord, I really want to be used by you. And he said okay, I said so give me some exploit today to do. Because one of the things that he was teaching me to do was, I was prophesy my day. I would write it down and I would write down what I thought the Lord was telling me was going to happen that day.
SID: And did it happen?
KRIS: Yes, and I would start checking it off if I got it right; if I understood…
SID: Wait, wait Kris, someone is watching us right now, and they say “Well I can’t do that!” What do you say to them
KRIS: I would say that when you received the Holy Spirit, that having a relationship with God; part of having a relationship with God is communication. Some people tell me well I don’t believe in prophetic ministry; I don’t believe it’s for today. I say, well do you believe in prayer? Well of course I believe in prayer. I say, well when you pray, do you do all of the talking or does God talk to you? No, God talks to me too. I say well does he ever talk to you about someone else, like your friend? Well yeah. Well do you tell your friend what God said to you when you were praying? Yeah. Well, that’s prophetic ministry in its simplest form isn’t it? I mean it’s simply saying what God is saying. It doesn’t mean you have to use King James; it doesn’t mean you have to yell or have some full voice. It simply means that you are sharing with somebody what God said to you so he’s saying it through you.
SID: Now out of curiosity do you tell your students to do this?
KRIS: Yes
SID: To ask God what am I supposed to do today?
KRIS: Yes
SID: To write it down?
KRIS: Yes
SID: Give me an example of one student.
KRIS: One of the, let me give you…yeah! Here’s a good example; we do street ministries, so the students adopt a neighborhood, a poor neighborhood, and for nine months while there in this school they minister in that neighborhood; and not just supernatural ministry; but they actually wash toilets, cut lawns. I mean they do random acts of kindness…
SID: You’re talking about acting like a real servant.
KRIS: Yeah, they serve, but they also bring the supernatural in to that ministry, much like Jesus did. Two of my students: one of them is named Chris and the other Scott; they’re walking down the street in their neighborhood that they have adopted, this is our neighborhood, you know, this is our neighborhood right here. They’re walking down the street, and there is a gal she is probably 19, 20, or 21 years old and she’s walking away from them and they said, “Hey, can we talk to you?” And she said “No. I know you’re a Christian; get away from me! I don’t want anything to do with you Christians.” And so Chris says to her “If I can tell you something about you that I couldn’t have known unless God showed me, would you listen to me?” And she says “Well, I don’t know; I guess so but I don’t want you to get close to me.” So he says to her “Well, I saw you with this little newborn baby and you were giving it away.”
SID: That’s pretty specific.
KRIS: And she said, “Yeah, I had a baby I put up for adoption.” And Scott says to her “Yeah, and I saw you were, I don’t know if you were like in a gang or something, but I saw you get knifed right here, right there (points to a place on his stomach).
SID: Now you’re really getting specific.
KRIS: She lifts up her blouse and she has a scar right there and she says “I was in a gang and I got knifed right there.” Is that amazing?
SID: That’s wonderful.
KRIS: Now suddenly it says God knows me. God knows me, and they had an opportunity to share Christ with her.
SID: Okay. Question:
KRIS: Yes
SID: You tell your students to do this; you tell them these wonderful stories of how God is working with you. And so student number one writes down some things and he says “Oh, this is just me,” and he goes out and he tests it and it was just him; it wasn’t God; what do you tell him to do?
KRIS: Try again. Because one of the ways that we learn; you know, we’re practicing. We’re not practicing, we’re not practicing with the Holy Spirit; we’re practicing to see how we learn to discern the Holy Spirit’s voice. Because you, there’s four sources of voices: there’s your spirit of course, there’s the Holy Spirit, that’s the person were trying to build a relationship with; there’s evil spirits and we talked about it on your last show. First John four says “Beloved, don’t believe every spirit. Test the spirits to see if they’re from God.” So obviously, beloved people can hear the wrong spirit; and there’s angelic spirits. So you know, we, I think the biggest struggle we have is between our spirit; because when we get saved, our spirit gets renewed so we have a good spirit, right? And then we have the Holy Spirit which is not just good, but Holy Spirit. So we need to learn how to discern between good: our spirit, and God.
SID: And that’s what you teach your students?
KRIS: Yeah, one of the things they do, can I give you an example?
SID: I’ll tell you what, hold that thought. Give me an example, and I want you to prophesy to the people when we come back after this word. Don’t go away, because Kris may speak directly to you. Be back in just a moment.
