The apostle Paul exhorts the church to “eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gifts of prophecy” (1 Cor. 14:1). Yet many of us may not know how to discern what the Lord is saying or know how to communicate the Spirit’s insights in safe and helpful ways. Ivan Filby provides insights from more than forty years of prophetic ministry in this compelling, humorous, and valuable book. These include helpful and safe ways to begin prophesying, testing, and discerning our perceptions and strategies to effectively communicate these insights to others. God uses prophetic ministry to speak tenderly to our hearts and invites you to join him in this beautiful work.
What a fantastic, easy-to-read, inspirational guide to bringing God’s voice wherever you go. Ivan’s communication style is so warm and engaging, and his real life stories are funny and relatable. His earlier book on this topic, Livestream, details much of the biblical teaching on hearing and sharing words from God; this book feels like the second instalment of what this looks like on a daily basis.
He demystifies an important topic, one that many Christians veer away from in the fear of doing it wrongly. He invites us to make hearing from God on behalf of other people to be a natural part of our spiritual life, and inspires a hunger for doing it well.
