Episode Description:
Have you ever prophesied? It may be easier than you think. In this episode of ‘Hearing God’, Gary & Jane unpack the difference between prayer and prophecy and show that if you can pray, you can prophesy. Both prayer and prophecy have the same root of faith. The releasing action is prayer or prophecy. We pray and prophesy by first listening to God in our spirit to see what He’s praying for and then partnering with God to release that. As usual, Gary & Jane share practical strategies and powerful personal examples.

Prophetic Activation:
Turn your heart and thoughts to Father God and ask Him how He sees an area of your life that concerns you.
· “Father God, what is your heart for that area?”

· “Holy Spirit, what are you praying for me in that area?”
· “Father God, is there a Bible verse you would love to encourage me with?”
