Lesson 1: What Is Prophecy and Why God Speaks
Jan 7, 2026 • Pastor Robert Barrett
Why does God speak before He moves?
In this foundational lesson, we establish a biblical definition of prophecy and explore prophecy as God’s intentional communication from eternity into time. Scripture reveals that prophecy precedes fulfillment and invites alignment, not observation. This lesson grounds prophetic understanding in Christ, Scripture, and discernment while addressing the spirit of prophecy and the importance of stewardship.
Key themes include:
• Biblical definition of prophecy
• The spirit of prophecy as the testimony of Jesus
• Prophecy as God’s revealed intention
• Recording and stewarding prophetic words
This lesson sets the framework for a prophetic culture rooted in truth, responsibility, and intention.
