- [on the church as the bride ready and waiting on earth]
- in Revelation 19:8 the bride was wearing fine linen, which represented that she had already clothed herself in the nature of Christ and was acting out his standards, values, life choices, and attitude on the earth.
- the essence of seeing prophetically is saying: "I see you in the future and you look much better than you look right now" Kim Clement
- prophecy is a tool to see a full picture of those God loves
- [on giving a v.accurate& life- giving word to a non-Christian] "he looked relieved but not in a human way...he looked like he was reverse-aging!"
- you cannot be a continually prophetic voice if you are in conflict with the world that God loves
- prophecy isn't supposed to have the goal of being directive in a commanding way. It should leave room for the persons receiving the word to be accountable to God themselves for their choices, not demanding this choice be made for them.
- [on an encounter with a famous person who came to Christ after Shawn got a wrong word for him but always wanted to meet someone who could hear from God]
Information doesn't matter; love does. Love covers even when we are wrong, because relationship bridges gaps that risks or even immaturity create. P.68
- I've come to believe that a lot of words given by a "prophet" are just words of discernment, nothing more, because the government of the word has not gone beyond his own mind and heart and travelled into God's. P.72
- Holiness is not sinlessness, it is the ability to see what is worth protecting and then say no to sin to protect our yes to love. P.74
- [Jesus] invited [people] to a place of spiritual importance through his investment in them. P.75
- because God wants us to have a strong identity, he talks through his nature more than he does through direct words. P.91
- It is his joy to allow us to make powerful decisions. P.92
- God's glory is our manifesting his heart through our lives and choices. P.93
- Revelation is never a straight road. P95
- God is eternal, and he starts sentences in the beginning g of our lives that he finishes years later. P.95
- the anointing is a relationship with God, not just a connection to His power. P.109
- to be holy [means] to love your relationship with God and protect it at all costs. P111
- "there are times in prophetic .inistdy when words we receive for others must stay in the throne room... they are more powerful when converged into crafted prayer and spoken to the Father than when put into prophetic language and ministered to human beings."
Graham Cooke in Crafted Prayer: the joy of always getting your prayers answered.
- Christianity never dims because other freedoms grow. it just getsbiggerand brighter. p.120
- He is such a personal God that he knows we won't always believe words someone else gives us, so he speaks to us. P.123
- God is speaking to everyone who wants to listen but he only has ongoing, long-term conversations with his friends. P.130
- ...as we take personal responsibility for our words, we begin to grow in personal authority. P.138
- prophecy is a demonstration of relational power, not political power. P.146
- some people had been interceding for me ... but they took that burden too far by prophesying their hopes for me into being. P.147
[Subsequently...]
I just repositioned their faith on my mind. P.148
- the prophetic is a skill set based on relationship, so it will only grow by ralational feedback. P.153
