Church On The North Coast Really Moves In The Holy Spirit

Pastor Kayatin preaches the truth via the bible and nothing less than that. He studies the word of God and seeks to hear from the Lord and always brings forth a word for the people. On top of that they have awesome praise and worship.

Most recently, a word was taught on the Prophetic Blessing. It was most relevant and it bore witness with my spirit. I will try to share the notes that I took.

There is also a lot of Scripture that was referenced throughout the preaching/teaching. I just wrote down the beginning Scripture. Deuteronomy 7:15:
"The Lord will keep you from having any kind of illness. He will not strike you with any of the terrible diseases you experienced in Egypt. Instead, he will strike all those who hate you."

So many are running to and fro to get prophetic words for themselves, please be cautious. A false word that was not from the Lord can bring more harm than you can even imagine.

When you speak with tongues it is sign of the judgement of unbelievers. It is a sign to the unbeliever. God will judge present unbelief. Prophecy is a sign to the believers. A blessing to the believer. Prophecy results is rest and refreshing. If anyone prophecies to you and there is no rest or refreshing it is the sign that the word was not from the Lord. The OK is if rest and refreshing occur.

Basis Of Testing A Word Spoken:

1.) Does it line up with the testimony of Jesus.
2.) Does it speak according to the whole scripture.
3.) Does it command in accordance to what is written.
4.) Does it edify or uplift. It should never be in a harsh tone or condemnation. A rebuke will be given gentle and not condemning.
5.) Fulfillment proves a prophetic word.
6.) Is the prophets lifestyle righteous.
7.) Does it bear witness with your spirit.
8.) Do you have confirmation
a.) Own inner witness of what God is saying to you.
b.) Look for congregational or peer witness.
c.) Spiritual authority confirming (even a mentor in your life.)
The last important note I wrote down was do not move out in your own experience.

Many years ago a very wise elder taught me about the prophetic and how to minister a prophetic word. I often refer to this illustration because it was most helpful to me back then and I even remind myself of it now when I bring forth a word for someone.

There was a beautiful mirror in the entrance way of the church. It had a beautiful and ornate frame around the mirror. He asked me what the purpose of the mirror was. I said to show your reflection when you look in the mirror. This is what he then taught me. The mirrors purpose was in the glass inside of the mirror. That is where you see the reflection when you look at it. It had a beautiful frame added to it. The only purpose of the frame was to add attraction. The frame had no other purpose other than adding to the attraction. It is not used in helping achieve a better reflection of the glass. He then told me to think of this image when I bring forth a word. Always seek the Lord to only bring forth the word of the Lord (which would represent the glass portion of the mirror.) Never add my own thoughts or opinions to the word which would be in reference to the frame, it had no purpose other than adding to the beauty of the mirror. The point being, only bring forth the crystal clear word of the Lord and do not add anything else to that word.
