“Hay distintas clases de dones espirituales...A cada uno de nosotros se nos da un don espiritual para que nos ayudemos mutuamente...A uno le da la CAPACIDAD DE PROFETIZAR.” -1 Corintios‬ ‭12:4, 7, 10‬

    • Who it’s from?  Makes it special. 
  • The gift of prophecy is that and so much more. 

The “Gift of Prophecy” is called the greatest gift.
THE GREATEST GIFT
EL DON MAYOR
  • Special emphasis on “desiring” this gift. 
  • “Desire”:  To long for; to ask for. 
  • A gift must first be desired to be received. 
  • There’s nothing we can do to get it on our own. 
  • Of all the “Spiritual Gifts”, God says, this is the Greatest Gift.  
  • The dynamic of the Gift of Prophecy makes it great. 

A DIRECT WORD FROM GOD
UNA PALABRA DIRECTA DE DIOS

    • “Prophecy” says, “Can I share something more direct and persona?”
  • The Gift of Prophecy is God speaking through us.  
  • The “Gift of Prophecy” is a Message that needs a messenger. 

YOU ARE THE MESSENGER
TU ERES EL MENSAJERO
  • It’s a great responsibility and opportunity.

  • Record it - write it down. 
  • Sometimes it comes when you see the person.
  • The point - The Message needs a Messenger.  
  • A direct and clear Word that edifies / helps. 

A WORD THAT EDIFIES
UNA PALABRA QUE EDIFICA
  • This is what prophecy is all about.
  • "But one who prophesies strengthens others, encourages them, and comforts them.” - 1 Corinthians‬ ‭14:3‬ ‭
  • “En cambio, el que profetiza fortalece a otros, los anima y los consuela.” - 1 Corintios‬ ‭14:3‬ ‭
  • That’s spirit, soul, and body. 
  • The “Gift of Prophecy” edifies wholly.

A WORD THAT CONFIRMS
UNA PALABRA QUE CONFIRMA
  • The “Gift of Prophecy” confirms what has already been told before. 
  • Removes doubt, contradictions, & confusion. 
  • The “Gift of Prophecy” is not just you being the messenger, but God sending a messenger to you. 
  • So you know that God is in your situations. 
  • Examples:
    • The relationship is getting serious. You’re thinking it might be time to take it to the next level of commitment. A word from the Lord will clarify when, or if, to take the next step. 
    • Time to choose a Major/College. You have a good idea which direction to take. A word of prophecy will assure you of which way to go.
    • Should we buy or rent. You’ve seen the pros and cons and prayed about it. A message from God will give you the confidence to choose what’s best for your family. 
    • Dream to start a business. Corona and economy doesn’t flinch your resolve (no detiene tu resolución). God will send you the right person with the right words. 

[APPLICATION] 
  • A Word from the Lord is what you need to hear. 
  • A Word from the Lord is the help that people need from you. 
  • You are that messenger with Word of God. 
  • You are that messenger that edifies.

“Hablar en lenguas es una señal no para los creyentes sino para los incrédulos.” - 1 Corintios‬ ‭14:22‬ ‭

INTERPRETATION - FROM FOREIGN TO KNOWN
INTERPRETACIÓN - DE EXTRANJERO A CONOCIDO
  • Interpret a foreign language into a known language - it begins to make confident sense. ‭
"Anyone who speaks in tongues should pray also for the ability to interpret what has been said.” - 1 Corinthians‬ ‭14:13‬
“El que habla en lenguas también debería pedir en oración la capacidad de interpretar lo que se ha dicho.” - 1 Corintios‬ ‭14:13‬
"Someone must interpret what they say. But if no one is present who can interpret, they must be silent.” - 1 Corinthians‬ ‭14:27-28‬ ‭
