HAKEEM: a lot of times there’s a lot of abuse that I’ve seen, even as I travel Larry, where I’ve seen people use the prophetic gift, that are not prophets; but even uneducated, don’t understand the gift of prophecy, and its purpose that God has r originally assigned it in the Church.
LARRY: Yeah.
HAKEEM: They’ve used it and abused it to a point where they have cut people down, and not built them up.
LARRY: Yeah; yeah. Well and again, as we come back, we’re going to talk about how you can actually operate in the prophetic – you can hear God. And at the end of the day, you need to hear what God is saying, so that when you see someone, and you are getting a prophetic word, you can actually bring your words into agreement with God’s, call out their destiny; and then when you receive a prophetic word, you can actually know whether it’s, whether it’s the flesh, or maybe it’s even some devil trying to give you a word. So don’t go away. When you come back, we’re going to answer all these questions [music] and more.
[music]
LARRY: Welcome back to Something More. I’m your host, Larry Sparks, and today we are talking about a very important [music] ends – very necessary – topic in the Church today because, let’s face it, there’s a lot of doom and gloom out there. You laughing – you don’t need a prophet to look at the news and say wow, there – there is all sorts of stuff going on. Deep darkness is truly upon the face the Earth; but simultaneously, in Isaiah 60, it talks about a glory that would arise, on the people of God. I believe one of the ways this glory is released is when our words come into agreement with God’s words, and we speak what He is saying. And so it’s such an honor, Hakeem, to have a true a modern prophet of the Lord on here, –
HAKEEM: Yes.
LARRY: a prophetic important for our words to be agreeing with what God is saying – whether it’s about a person, –
HAKEEM: Yes.
LARRY: about a situation – because again, it doesn’t take a prophet to see the negative.
HAKEEM: That’s right.
LARRY: It doesn’t take a prophet to see the dirt – call that out. It takes a prophetic eye, it takes a prophetic ear, to hear what God is saying about a person and a situation. So what I want to talk about right now is so many people are thinking to themselves, Well, okay you’re saying that this prophetic ministry is available to me. I imagine I have to hear God first before I speak, and we’ll talk about that a little bit later. But I want to ask you how, you know, God’s – I heard Kris Vallotton once say this: God’s first language is not English, and it’s not Hebrew, –
HAKEEM: Wow.
LARRY: because He’s God! He speaks –
HAKEEM: Yes.
LARRY: Different ways. So can you talk about – just teach – teach a little bit about how God speaks; the different languages of God.
HAKEEM: Yeah. It’s – that’s a very good question, Larry. , me as a seer prophet – I will say a seer prophet – God speaks to me and you in unusual ways.
LARRY: Yes.
HAKEEM: He usually will speak through my spiritual senses. Even as we have 5 senses, I believe, prophetically, we have prophetic senses.
LARRY: Sure.
HAKEEM: And so as God will begin to open up my spiritual vision, He will give me visions of things; He will also give me dreams; He will also give me impressions.
LARRY: Mm.
HAKEEM: And I believe those are prophetic indicators that allow us to understand that God does not speak in one way. Sometimes we just think that you know, Gabriel would just come, and he –
LARRY: laughs
HAKEEM: would just speak and – and it will get a message. But I believe that God will use our prophetic senses – open our prophetic system – excuse me – our prophetic senses, –
LARRY: Sure.
HAKEEM: to begin to activate us in the prophetic realm. So in other words, dreams are one language that God will speak through. I mean He warned Joseph in a dream, –
LARRY: Yeah.
HAKEEM: and gave him a word; even what to do with Mary and Jesus. Also, we see that God used the prophets – even the Old Testament.
LARRY: Mm.
HAKEEM: Even now, God is causing dreams to open up. Also vision –
LARRY: Yes.
HAKEEM: is another way that God speaks. You know the prophets were known, and they were caught up, and God showed them visions of Heaven.
LARRY: Yeah.
HAKEEM: So these are prophetic languages. People just think that God just wants – just going to speak, but God –
LARRY: Audibly, or something like that, yeah.
