It's Supernatural

HAKEEM: And so it is to build, to edify, and to exhort. And a lot of people needs edification; a lot of people needs encouragement; so it’s not to be used as a way to bring destruction, –

LARRY: Yeah.

HAKEEM: but it’s a gift that the Holy Spirit will allow every Believer to operate in, to bring construction. I believe that we are in a, you know, an hour where we’re looking for doom and gloom and judgment; –

LARRY: Right; yeah.

HAKEEM: but I believe that the purpose of prophecy is to really help the Believer to come into their identity, come into their purpose, to build them up in their faith; but also, to know that the gifts of the Spirit are available today.

LARRY: Yes.

HAKEEM: I believe that you know, we are in an hour where God is placing this prophetic spirit upon all flesh; we see it in Joel. There was a prophecy that was released, that He was going to release. God was going to Release His prophetic Spirit upon the sons and daughters and they may prophesy. That means that there is a prophetic spirit that’s about to be released, –

LARRY: Yeah.

HAKEEM: but it’s not just for an – a prophet, but every Believer, Larry, can prophesy! Every Believer can speak for God, to edify, to exhort, and to comfort them.

LARRY: Yeah.

HAKEEM: This is a season; I believe it’s not for the doom and gloom, –

LARRY: Yeah.

HAKEEM: the judgment. I mean people know what they’re going through.

LARRY: They are.

HAKEEM: They know their sin; they know what their struggling; and they don’t need someone to come to identify, put a magnifying glass and say, This is what you did. You know, we’ve seen these misused and abused in the prophetic –

LARRY: Yeah.

HAKEEM: and it’s breaking my heart to see them, so my job is really, to bring clarity. I believe that there have been people that are genuine prophets, –

LARRY: Yeah.

HAKEEM: have prophetic giftingÆs, but really lack the teaching and the true biblical principle of what prophecy is, –

LARRY: Yeah.

HAKEEM: and what the purpose of it. And so my job really is to really bring, make prophecy easy, –

LARRY: Yeah.

HAKEEM: and make it simple; not to make everyone prophets. I believe we can all be activated in the prophetic gift.

LARRY: Yeah.

HAKEEM: We all can move because it is, a desired, gift. The Bible talks about, in 1 Corinthians chapter 14, that we can desire spiritual gifts, –

LARRY: Yes.

HAKEEM: but also that we may prophesy.

LARRY: Yeah.

HAKEEM: But before even it said that we can desire spiritual gifts, it says, Pursue love -; that’s the first thing! So even to move into –

LARRY: Mm!

HAKEEM: the prophetic gifting, we can pursue – and have a desire – to move in love.

LARRY: Wow. Well, and even as you’re saying that Hakeem, I’m thinking to myself, you know, it’s so important that we recognize that a prophetic voice, whether it’s a prophet, whether people being activated in the prophetic – it’s not about going out calling out sins; not even about calling out judgment.

HAKEEM: Right.

LARRY: Because like you said, so many people are so beat up; people already know their sins; –

HAKEEM: Sure.

LARRY: but as a prophetic voice, you’re actually seeing past the sin, and you’re looking at that person’s destiny. You’re looking at how God sees them, –

HAKEEM: Absolutely.

LARRY: and calling those things out. That’s why a person who’s completely in sin – I’ve heard testimonies where – I’m sure you have.

HAKEEM: Yeah.

LARRY: Have you seen whacks desk situations where people were just like totally in sin – totally away from God – and yet a prophetic word activated them, turning them back on the course towards God. I mean have you seen that?

HAKEEM: All the time; all the time.

LARRY: Yeah.

HAKEEM: Everywhere I minister and I travel, my heart is, really to pull out the treasure in people.

LARRY: Yeah.

HAKEEM: The prophetic gift gives me the ability to see how God sees them; to see from God’s perspective.

LARRY: Yeah.

HAKEEM: It’s to really to see the treasure in them, and not the dirt.

LARRY: Yeah.

HAKEEM: Our ability, prophetically is, really to dig out what God sees; to dig out their full potential – their giftings, their callings –

LARRY: Yeah.

HAKEEM: and really call those things that be not as though they are.

LARRY: Yeah.

HAKEEM: That’s the prophetic element or the ingredients of prophecy!

LARRY: Yeah.

HAKEEM: It’s to pull those things out, that really see what God sees for them, and allow them to understand it; but also bring clarity to it.

LARRY: Yeah; yeah.

HAKEEM: But also allowing them to manifest it. So again, it’s not to really cause them to see their sin, –

LARRY: Yeah.

HAKEEM: and judgment; they already know, and they already felt like they’re, beat up.

LARRY: Yeah.
