5. SHARE: This takes vulnerability, courage, and faith, but trust the Holy Spirit and share what He is putting on your heart. Carefully and pastorally share the Holy Spirit’s message, trying to do so without commentary or promises. Avoid saying, “Thus says the Lord…” Instead, try, “I believe the Lord is saying this…”
6. RECEIVING PROPHECY: The person receiving the prophecy needs to weigh it up and wait on it before walking in it.
•Weighing: Ask the person to weigh the message using the A.B.C framework. Encourage them to pray, seeking the Spirit’s guidance through Scripture and the counsel of saints. Encourage them to weigh not just the message but the messenger.
•Waiting: Not all prophecy is for the now; some may take years to fulfill, as shown in the Bible.
•Walking in It: When the Spirit prompts, obey and step out in faith. Not all words of prophecy will be true or from the Lord, which is why they need to be weighed. Poor attempts at speaking prophetic words should not discourage us from using or receiving this gift. As Paul says in 1 Thessalonians 5:19–21, “Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies, but test everything; hold fast what is good.”
