Prophetic activation:

Turn your heart and thoughts to Father God and ask Him to bring to mind a Bible character. Grab hold of the first person who comes to mind. If you don’t know your Bible that well, Google the first name that comes to mind and see if they’re in the Bible. Then read about them in the Bible and learn about them. Explore how you can experience God by how they experienced God. Then ask God:

· How can that apply to my life?

· Is there something I can learn from them about experiencing God?
