Let's start by praying for a few minutes, welcoming the spirit, and really just preparing ourselves for what we're about to hear and receive from Apostle Isaac. I hope everyone's ready. Hope you've come expectant.
Um, if we can unmute our mics and even just pray that God would prepare our hearts, that we would have the the the the fertile ground to be able to receive the the seeds that God is pouring out today. So let's pray into that just for a couple minutes and we'll get right into it.
So Father, we thank you for we thank you Lord for this time. We thank you for what you're about to do today, Lord. Thank you, Father, even for the teaching, Father, that you're about to pour out through Apostle Isaac.

>> Amen. >> Amen.
So, right now I'm about to welcome a real man of God. One who is really who's the wisdom that this man has. Honestly, it's amazing. Um, you're all in for a treat. So, yeah, come expectant. I hope you have your notepads. Hope you have your Bibles with you. Yeah, Apostle Isaac is is here and he's he's ready to pour out. Um, welcome sir. How are you doing?
>> Greetings. Greetings everybody. God bless you. God bless you. Thank you so much for your presence here. Um, my name is Isaac Tendo. Um, for many of you, this is the first time we've been on a live together and I'm so happy to see so many faces who were actually showing their faces. If you can show your face, that would be great because I really want to know you. You know that. Um, one thing about me is I like to build relationally. Um, we can never do the prophetic just on gifting. It has to be on relationships. It has to be on knowing each other. So, as you've jumped on here, I didn't force you. Did anyone force you? Please, if you if I forced you, confess immediately. But you've joined here because something is stirring on the inside of you. You want to know more about the prophetic. You feel like there's a calling on your life. You feel like there's an identity to the prophetic that you are yet to uncover. And in the next hour, I'm going to hopefully by the grace of God um help you understand yourself a little bit more. Help you understand the gift a little bit more. Help you understand how to uh operate and what to look out for because with every gift there is strength, there are weaknesses, there are opportunities and there are even threats. So I hope you have your your your your notepad and your pen ready.
I'll tell you a little bit about myself um in terms of my journey. Um, I began the walk in the prophetic, I think, from a young age. Uh, I kind of always had a knowing of things, an understanding of things. Um, my parents is the one that would tell me, "Oh, he's a prophet or he has a prophetic gift or he they would call me prophet." I didn't really know what a prophetic prophet was. U, this is before salvation. Now, I get saved. I'm not in a prophetic church. Um I'm not in a prophetic church. I'm just going to a church that is full of uh it's disciplehip. It's evangelism. But during worship, I would feel like this rushing flow and river trying to burst out of me. I'm like, what is this? I already had the gift of tongues. So it felt differently. And then all of a sudden, I would just utter words that I've never thought about. Uh, I don't know if you've been there where you just it's almost like the God hijacks your mouth and you begin to speak things that were not in your mouth before. Just put a one. This this comment is very quiet. You know, I like to see comments. Just put a one if in the comments if you've ever if your mouth has ever been hijacked. If your mouth has ever been hijacked by the Lord. Now, there's one thing there's one thing for the for God to hijack your mouth and begin to speak through, but there's another thing when you begin to be aware of it and you begin to know how to steward it. Um, and so this is where I want to bring you through uh this teaching tonight.
I'm going to share a presentation and just give me one moment. I realized I have not brought my charger up with me. So, in the meantime, can I see where everyone is tuning in from? I'm going to just take 2 minutes to get my charger to plug this in so this doesn't die on us. But in the meantime, can you please let me know where you're tuning in from? I'm just going to close my my video and I'll be back on in a second.
Okay. Thank you so much for your patience. Now, let me just acknowledge everyone that's here. My god, we got South Africa. God bless you. Chris, Chris, I hope I say your name. Christa Bell. Crystal Bell, God bless you. We got Antennia from Nashville. I'm butchering names. Please forgive me.
>> Antina.
>> Say that again.
>> You were close. Antonyina.
>> Antonyina. Wow. What does that mean?
>> Uh, high praise.
>> Hi.
>> That's what I was told.
>> My god, that's great. That's great. Thank you for joining. Um, who else? We have camel from South Africa. Uh let me see somewhere I didn't mention what we from Montreal. God bless you. So many nations. I'm I'm I'm I'm upset I don't see UK or London, but maybe God is reaching across the borders. Okay.
So, let me share my screen and let's get d let's get get into this cuz I I believe you have you you've come here to to hear about your prophetic type. Now, before I go into the prophetic types and understanding it, I want you to understand that identity awakens calling. You see, something that a lot of us sometimes miss is we figure out, we're trying to figure out our calling. We're trying to discern, Lord, what you have, what are you calling me to? But often times, I find that your calling is actually hidden in your identity. Your calling is hidden in your identity. Jeremiah 15, we see it. Before I formed you, I knew you. Jeremiah was struggling with God, saying, "Lord, I don't know how to preach. I don't know how to speak. I don't know how to talk." And God had to check Jeremiah. I don't know if you've ever been checked by God. When you are wrestling with him, when you're saying, "Lord, I can't do this. I can't prophesy. I can't be the person you've called me to be." And God has to check you. And so Jeremiah was at this point where God had to check him and take him back to his history. Many of us believe our history begins in our conception. But that is actually a deception. Our existence doesn't begin in conception. According to Jeremiah 15, our conception begins with God. So you were formed in God. And he tells Jeremiah, "I knew you and I ordained you." So before a pastor ordained you, before you got your certificate, before you got anything that can affirm, before there's a label, before there's anything, God said, "I ordained you to be a prophet." So many of us in the prophetic, we struggle to accept that God has called us to walk in the prophetic. But this scripture shows that before God, before we existed, God knew us and God ordained us to be a prophet. Just let's put that let's do an activation. Just write in the comments, I am prophetic. Just write in the comments, I am prophetic. I am prophetic. I am prophetic. I am prophetic. This is something you need to be sure of.
Romans 12:6 says we have different gifts according to the grace according to the grace given to each of us. So we have different gifts according to the grace given to each of us. So the reason why there's different prophetic types not because uh it's an identity. It's because there are different graces. I might be graced in something you're not graced in. You might be graced in something I'm not graced in. Okay. So, identity awakens callings. Now, let's move on.
So with that being said, a prophetic type is the lens is the lens through which you discern, carry and express what God has given you. I'll repeat, >> a prophetic type is the lens through which you discern, you carry and express what God gives you. So I want to be very clear here because we live in a day and age everybody's trying to find their identity. Your identity is in Christ. Your identity is in Christ. Your identity is in Christ. This is not your identity, but this is a pattern or a a form of stewardship in how God works through you. >> So you can have different vessels, but the same spirit. So it's all the same spirit that causes someone to see, the same spirit that calls somebody to go into the marketplace. It's the same spirit that has the diversity of gifts, but it's a different expression. It's a different expression.
If somebody can find me Romans 12:6, I want to hear some people read the Bible. It's good to read the Bible. Romans 12:6. And in the same time, someone find me. First Corinthians 12:4. If you're there, just say it boldly. Read read it with confidence.
>> Romans 12:6. I'm reading from the New International Version. We have different gifts according to the grace given to us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith.
>> Amen. Uh first, go ahead. First 1 Corinthians 12:4 reading from the Apologetics Bible. Now there are different gifts but the same spirit.
>> Amazing. There are different gifts but the same spirit. So the what God is saying look there this the spirit is the source. The spirit is the source and the spirit gives expression or has allowed us to have different forms of expression. This is why we we have to refrain from judging the body of Christ cuz imagine your eye telling your toe you don't deserve to be part of the body. You don't do what I do. But the toe stabilizes the body. And so sometimes in my own journey, I just when I don't understand something, I'm just like, Lord, I don't understand it. But if it's part of your body, then it's part of your body. But I don't seek to judge things prematurely. Okay?
There's another scripture I want to bring up. Uh Amos Amos 3 verse 7. Amos 3:7 it says, "Surely Yahweh does nothing unless he reveals his secret counsel to his servants, the prophets." So God has chosen to reveal his counsel. God has even chosen to restrain his counsel until there's a prophet he can reveal it to. This is talking about partnership. In the prophetic, you are not a lone ranger. You are accountable to God. Your prophetic jurisdiction is rooted and grounded upon what God reveals. So you can't just prophesy what you feel. You can't just prophesy what you think. You prophesy according to what God has revealed. I hope you guys are tracking with me.
So now let's go to our eight prophetic types. Now, I will go deeper into each single one of them cuz that's what people have been asking. People saying, "Look, is there go deeper in this, go deeper in that." And I just thought, let me just create somewhere where we can all gather and all receive and all maybe ask questions. I think this live experience is better than me just talking in DMs and telling people what it is. I I'm a teacher by nature and so I like to teach and and and equip people. So let me just close this for a second. The eight prophetic types. So number one we have the seer. The seer uh predominantly you you walk in visions. Then you have the nabi. This is uh what I I was operating in when I said I went to church and I felt like a bubbling. Some people are just gifted to talk. It just bubbles out of them. They they or or all of a sudden they're in worship and and if like a gush comes out of them. Nabi means to bubble up. Another prophetic type is the intercessor. The intercessor. I'm going to try to refrain from going into all of them too deeply. Uh fourth, the the the reformer, then you have the scribe, the shepherd, uh the marketplace prophet, and the forerunner. All right, if I was you, take a picture of this so you can have it for your reference. Okay, so let's break it down. This is what we're all here for. T, can I be Am I being seen clearly? Cuz I can't see myself. All right. Praise God.
Now, before we go into um each of them individually, you need to understand that your type is revealed through your patterns, not by what you prefer. Okay. Some people want to be a seer. They say, "I want to be a seer." But really, you're intercessor. Okay. So, the question you need to ask yourself throughout this time as I begin to expound on each type is what is your burden? What burdens you? How does God predominantly speak to you? Does he speak in a vision? Does he speak when you're writing? Does he speak when you're reading? Does he speak when you're in nature? Does he speak when you're in conversation? How does God speak to you? Thirdly, what people what do people come to you for? Some people always like they come to you because they have a dream and it's like what does it mean? And you don't know, they actually recognizing a grace of dream interpretation. Some people come to you because you have a an encouraging grace upon you. So whenever they're down, they come to you and it's like, so the question is, what do people usually come to you for? What do you naturally discern naturally? Some of you, I've jumped on this call and you're already reading. You're like, "Okay, who's this guy?" You could probably prophesy my whole life. Some of you are too deep. But some of you naturally discern, naturally naturally pick up atmospheres, naturally pick up uh uh uh motives. Some of you naturally pick up when somebody is feeling down. Some of you your writing is just like from a young age, you write deeply. You have journals. You have books that you can even pick up and you're you're the type that you don't let go of it. You're like, "These are my books. I'll keep them. And then lastly, what weaknesses keep repeating. Okay? Because every every type has a weakness. It's not a god orained weakness, but it's a blind spot that if you're not aware of can become a weakness.
So, let's look at the sea. Let's see if someone can find me. Habac 2 verse one. Habac 2 verse 1. And another scripture is Daniel verse 7 verse one. Habac 2 verse one. Anybody there? Nobody.
>> Thank you.
>> Can you hear me?
>> Yes, I can.
>> Oh, perfect. All right. So, uh, this is from NIB. I will stand at my watch and station myself on the ramparts. I will look to see what he will say to me and what and what answer I am going I am going to give to his complaints.
>> Amen. Amen. Thank you for sharing that. Yoli, is that your name?
>> It's pronounced Julie.
>> Julie. Okay. Amazing. Amazing.
>> Yes, sir. Thank you.
>> Thank you for being here. Um I will stand I'll take stand at my watch pose. Notice what he says here. What Habac the prophet says. He says to see what you will say to me. I don't know if that went over yet. To see what he has said to me. So that means God's communication is not just in verbal words to see what he says, not see what he shows. So he wants to see what God is saying. So, let's all do our exercise quickly. If you can, just close your eyes and think of a yellow car. Okay, a yellow car. Now, think of a blue car. Now, think of a black car. That is your seeing. Now, we can all open our eyes now. Don't want anyone to fall asleep. That is your seeing. That is your imagination. When people say, "I can't see." It's like, "No, you can. You just you just over." So Habacup was saying, "I'm here to see." So let me restrain myself. I can go deep on this. So the seer is is is is you see before you speak. You see, you receive by vision. All right? So part of being a sea is like you you discern atmospheres quickly. So you have an ability to decipher what is going in the atmosphere. You see hidden motives. You see uh uh uh uh you might not even have language for it but you can sense oppression. Uh you also dream and get impression. They come naturally. So you're very intuitive um in your heart. And also another thing about seeds is like symbolism matters. Symbolism matters. It might be you. You might not even know this about yourself, but I rather if someone gets me something, I rather it h have a meaning to it than it to be expensive because I'm deeply into meaning. Okay.
Now, I want to show you some of the strengths, the weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of a sea. Okay. One of the strengths is vision. You can see people's destiny more than they can. And this is why sometimes this is Samuel was a seer and he saw what Saul could be. And part of his correction that God gave Samuel is like, "How long are you going to mourn after Saul?" After Saul uh uh fumbled the ball, he disobeyed God. So Samuel was still in the place of what he saw that what he saw that sword could become. A weakness of this sea is waiting for perfect clarity. So some of you hesitate to speak. Some of you hesitate to to step out. Some of you hesitate to do some projects that God has called you to do because you're waiting for clarity. You have to understand you see in part. There's many things that God is calling you to that still requires trust. When you a seeer, you want to see everything. You want to see the A, you want to see the B, you want to see the D, you want to see the C, you want to see the D, you want to see the E, you want to see the F. You want to see every point. But often times as a seer, you see a big picture. Imagine Joseph. Joseph was a sea. He dreamt. He was dreaming. And he saw himself as a a a a uh prime minister in Egypt. But what he did not see was the pit. What he did not see was the prison. What he did not see was the persecution. What he did not see was the patience he had to endure. So God shows in part, but as a seer, you need to move. Opportunity. Now, an opportunity is uh there's things that God wants to show you that you haven't seen yet. And another opportunity is helping people to see what heaven is revealing. So you are able to open people's minds to what God is doing by teaching, by revelation, by encouragement, by experience, by investment. A threat of the sea. And I I'm going to have to speed up because we have a few to go through. Uh isolation and overanalysis. Just put two in the chats if you ever been caught in this place. Isolation and overanalysis. Okay. Because you see sometimes it's overwhelming now. Okay. Because you see sometimes you overanal an analyze and so part of you overcoming this Holy Spirit help me. Part of you overcoming this is one learning that you need community and number two living with a heart of full obedience. So here here is how we move practically. Okay? Because I want to give you practical tips also. Always write what you see. Write what you see. Okay? Because as you write, my spiritual father would say, you dignify the revelation. You dignify the revelation. Test what you see with scripture. Okay? You have to be strong in the word. When I train prophets, I tell them and I ask them, "Have you eaten the scroll?" Because prophets who don't eat the scroll end up opening their mind to new age, opening their mind to feelings and emotions. Your Bible has to be your compass. Not that you become dogmatic, but you have to a be able to reference scripture and link it to revelation. And then lastly, submit to wisdom. Find voices of wisdom that can train you as a seer. Okay, so let's move on.
The intercessor. Uh hands up if you're an intercessor in this place. You feel burdened for intercession. And it's like you want to pray. You just like let's pray about it. Everything is let's pray. Let's pray. Let's pray. Let's pray. The intercessor. My my my uh stepmom is an intercessor. So you carry what others cannot carry. You feel more burden for people when they come to you. They're like they tell you the problem and it's like you you carry after after the conversation. You're just thinking about it. you're just thinking about it. It's almost like you take on their burden. So you also feel burdens before others can see them. So sometimes people don't even know their burden. But because of your intercessory senses, it's almost like a signal goes off and says, "Hey, this person needs prayer. I see your hand. I see those hands. Thank you for sharing. You you you know that prayer is a labor but you also love it when you break through and when you seek answered prayers. Another sign is that you care for people deeply and you often feel the weight of atmospheres. You also feel the calling uh uh when people are called to nations also. You also feel the intercessory points for nations. It's almost like you want to you have dreams about nations. It's like, "Oh, I need to pray for for America. I need to pray for a a continent in Africa. I need to pray for a continent in Europe." You feel nations. You feel people. You even might feel industries. Let's go to the scripture cuz I want to make this ensure that we ground this in scripture. Uh let's go to Luke. And for the sake of time, I'll just I'll just read from now on. Um, but usually I like people to read scriptures and to participate in this. Um, verse 36- 38. Uh, we're talking about the prophetess Anna. And there was a prophetess Anna, the daughter of Fure of the Asher. She was advanced in years having lived with her husband 7 years from where she was a virgin and then a widow until she was 84. She did not depart from the temple worshiing and fasting. So also part of the intercessor is like you are called to to worship and you're called to fasting and you're called to prayer. Some of you have been called to fast. It's almost like your year is a year of fasting and you're just like Lord give me a break. It is a sign that you are an intercessor. So worshiping, fasting and prayer day, night and day. And coming up that very hour, she began to give thanks to God. So Anna was an intercessor. Her job was to intercede for the coming of the Messiah.
So here are some of the the strengths. Uh your strength is burden bearing. You can you can bear people's burdens. You can pray people's burdens. You can it's almost like you pray more for others than you pray for yourself. A weakness is emotional overload where you are feeling so you become burdened but it can also tipple into depression. It can temple tipple into a low mood and often times if you're not in the secret place praying it can begin to show in how impatient you are. Let me just put my hands up first. When I don't pray, when I'm not in worship, it's almost like I'm I'm an unbeliever. All right? It's like I can feel there's no grace on my life to be a light in this world. I don't want people near me. I don't want to talk whatever. But as soon as I pray and I'm just praying in the spirit, it's almost like a joy comes to me. Okay? So, their weakness is emotional overload. This not just a woman thing, it's a man thing also. Opportunity. I say this, prayer is a birth canal. Prayer is a birth canal in which heaven heaven's possibilities can manifest through. So you're you are you are in a position where you can pray what heaven wants to release on earth. Uh when we get to heaven, I believe there's going to be a wall of intercessors. There's a man of God that said, um, Tar, is my is my video glitching?
>> Slightly.
>> All right, I'm just going to go on to my camera picture. All right, just give me a sec. I'll plug this out. Okay, this should be more stable. So there are men of God that say before they enter a territory, they would send their intercessors to intercede, to break the ground, to take the principalities over New York, to take the principalities over South Africa, to take the principalities. So when we get to heaven, this is my conviction, we will have a wall of intercessors because on earth, they might not be the people who are on the the the flyer. There might not be the people on the first row, but heaven notices them. And I believe that God prizes intercessors because without intercessors, without intercessors, I can feel when I'm being interceded for and I can feel it when I'm not. So intercessors enable the work of God. Now, another threat of the intercessor is burnout and weariness. Burn out and weariness. A lot of intercessors, how the enemy takes them out is by burning them out. And so you have to learn how to live balanced. Sometimes I have to tell myself it's okay to eat. It's okay to enjoy food. It's okay to just be normal. Okay? Because if not, your intensity and your your desire to pray, your desire to be a vessel that God can use you can can drive you to burnout. So sometimes you need to rest. You need to watch a normal film like just enjoy something. Okay. Jesus is both divinity and humanity. So you have to nurture your divinity but also nurture your humanity. Okay? Both matters.
Number three, the reformer. The reformer. Put number three if you feel like you're a reformer. Now, some of you will feel like hybrids. I'll talk about hybrid soon, but number three if you feel like a reformer. Okay, I see that Nana. I see those three. Okay, amazing. Reformers are also my favorite types to be honest. I feel like in this day and age, God is raising up much reformers. God is raising up much reformers because there's so much strongholds. There's so much archaic thinking that needs to be pulled out and established. Now, let me say this. Not all prophets prophesy with their word. God places prophets sometimes in industries and gives them a commission to confront systems or to create something new. So you might be a prophet but you are wondering why don't I prophesy but what you're building or what you are advocating or the policies you're putting into place are prophecies in theirel. Okay. So a prophet you're called to realign what is out of order. Uh you see systems not just symptoms. So you think about okay you don't just think about for example the healthare the healthare you think it as a system. How do we change the health care? How do we build better systems where there's there's equality in in the health that people get? Who are the key players? So you you want to converge and converse with people who are able to change a system. You feel stirred. You feel stirred by injustice and dysfunction. So you might be called to the justice system. Uh Deborah was a a a reformer. Deborah was a reformer. Uh Elijah was a reformer. He confronted political powers. He tore down idols. So a reformer also someone that you are you hate the idols of his generation. Some of you might just hate that this generation is so sucked into social media. That's a form of injustice and you want you want them to have a healthy. So it's like the wrong you see you want to birth the right. You are wired to rebuild. Now time won't permit me to open the scriptures up in the way I would want to. But um Nehemiah was a reformer. He rebuilt the walls where where the walls were broken. So you are you are attracted to broken places. You're attracted to places that people have forgotten. You're like, "No, these places need to be rebuilt." And you always think, "There has to be a better way. There has to be a better way. There has to be a better way." So, as a reformer, you have courage. Uh your weakness is control. Sometimes you have to let people be. Let people find out uh uh uh uh and let God realize that you are not God in the system. So you can't handle everything. Uh opportunities to bring systems into alignment with truth. So you can even be a podcaster and be a reformer. So you you you you yes there's the news but you bring a kingdom perspective to the news. uh a threat is another many prophets again isolation but also offense. Nehemiah there's the scripture there. I won't go into it cuz of the sake of time we got 22 minutes left. So I'm going to speed ahead.
Now we have the Nabi prophet. Yes, doctor. I hear that. I hear that. Um, so let's look at the Nabi prophet or the Nabi type. The Nabi, you you are it's Jeremiah. Okay. In Jeremiah 9:10, it says, "The word of God is shut up in my bones." He said, "I cannot I cannot bear to be quiet because his his words is like fire in my bones. I don't know if you have a family member that when they speak is like fire. It's like you you can't hold them back. They're just like or they're just strong with their words. You It could be that you're in the presence of a nabi type. A nabby type. Their their words are full of weight. They they can't remain still or quiet until they declare or speak their truth. uh uh you're a person that says I I'm not going to be I can't be silent or you're also a person that hates falsehood and so you just tell it how it is. You just like you rather tell the truth and say sorry later but you're going to tell the truth anyway because the truth is like fire in your bones. You feel stirred to confront compromise. So when you see wrong, some people are just like, "Leave it." I'm a person some I'm just like, "Ah, leave it." My wife is a nabi. She She'll say, "No, we have to speak." I'm like, "Babe, I don't want to speak. I just want to just internalize it and process it and, you know, deal with God in intercession. I rather pray about it." She rather go and talk about it, you know. So you you you are one that wants to confront the situations. Uh your your strength again is bonus. You say things that other people are thinking of. A weakness is harsh delivery. Uh people can avoid you because they know, oh, if I tell her that I slept with my boyfriend yesterday, they're going to just give me the harshness. Uh uh opportunity. Your opportunity is to call people back into alignment, into truth, back into order. Your threat is wounding them when wisdom isn't absent, when wisdom isn't present. So you have to realize the weight of your words, the power of your words that you can actually push people further if you're not articulate and if you're not um the Bible says speak with with grace, speak with with with the salt of grace. So you have to pepper your words with some grace. Okay, so that's the Nabi. Just put number four if you feel like you're or number five if you feel like you're a Nabi. Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. So great to see you now because I hope you feel found. All right.
The shepherd. Now this is you know uh just to respond to the comments you will feel a mixture but there's one prominent and there's a second one that you should you should know your two prominent ones but I feel if you're called to the prophetic you will touch all these eights in some way okay so uh but there's there's a prominence like my wife is a nabi she's a nabi and she's a probably a sea also Um me I feel like I touch all graces quite quite equally but that that's come also some of the graces can grow or some of the types can grow through maturity and functionality. So as an apostle I have an I feel like I have an ability to because of you have to be kind of like a Swiss knife. So my heart can touch all of them. But I would say I'm a reformer. No, I'll say I'm a seer and an intercessor primarily. If I had nothing else to do, I would pray and see. Reforming is a function for me. It's a what I'm called to do. Now let's let's let's press on. We got a few more to go into. The shepherd. I feel like the shepherd is is is the overlooked type. The overlooked type. But part of part of the prophetic. I love that God is called Elroy, the one who sees. Part of the prophetic is also learning how to be a safe space for people. A lot of pro prophets when they're growing, they one of the offices they shun is the pastoral. Um I'm grateful that before I walked in the apostolic and prophetic, I was trusted with the pastoral because it's a danger for you to uh have the word of the Lord, but you don't care about the hearts that you are releasing the word of the Lord to. So the shepherd type is a person you they they make you feel safe around them. They make you feel safe. They have an ability to hold what you are going through. Um let's just go to scripture. John 10:11. John 10. John 10. Let's go. Let's read this one. Jesus says, "I am the good shepherd." The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. So Jesus identified himself as the good shepherd. He's a good shepherd. He's a good shepherd and he lays down his life for the sheep. So you are able to lay down your time, lay down your lay down your ears, and hold space for people. You discern the pain beneath performance. You're the type of person that you come into a worship service and you can notice when the worship leader burnt out and you think, "Why does this person have a break? Why don't nobody care for him? They're gifted yet, but I can discern that there's no soul care for them. You're the person that gets word of knowledge when somebody's not feeling well. You just call them in my spirit. How are you doing? Ah, I was just thinking if anybody's going to call me." is like you have a care to your prophetic. Your words heal more than impress. So your words, you have an ability to put words together that give people relief. Uh it's in the book of Proverbs that says how how how when words come at the right time, it's like a it's like an apple um fitted with or iced with gold or something like that. Basically, you're saying that when you when you say the right word at the right time, it can heal. It can be just exactly what somebody needs to hear. That is prophetic. I don't think people realize that is prophetic. You might be called to counseling. You might be called to psychology. You might be called to the emotional healing place, but you are prophetic in that. You gather, you guide, and you restore. You're the one that says, "Okay, let's let's, you know, when there's a fallout in family, you're the one that says, "Look, let's call. Let's pray. Let's repent. Let's eat. Let's turn back." You're trying to shepherd people into restoration. All right? So, your strength is restoration. Your weakness is over carrying people. You have to learn how to let go. Samuel walked in this again. David walked in this also. You have to learn how to let go. Okay? David was so loyal to to to to Saul. I would have I would have thrown a spear back at him. All right? But he was he was like, "No, how how would I touch the Lord's anointed?" That's the heart of a shepherd. Um opportunity to build safe spiritual family. Another threat is compassion fatigue. Let me just let me just Anybody here feels like they're the shepherd or feels like you have a bit of a shepherd in you. Okay. In this space, you have to learn how to say no. Learn how to put boundaries. Learn that you are not Jesus himself. So no, you can't multiply five loaves and turn it. No, there's a there's a limitation to your compassion. And so you have to know the the sphere and the scope of your compassion and also learn when it's when you're going beyond it.
Is this blessing you? I'm I'm just trying to discern. Did I did I do the right thing? just put 10 in the chats if if this is this is was the right decision for me to do. I'm just trying to gauge. Okay. Thank you. Cuz I'm sweating here. I need some water. Thank you. Thank you. I'm I'm glad this is blessing you. Um cameras. Okay, I'm back on the marketplace profit. All right. This one is exciting. This one's exciting. Daniel, let's go to Daniel 24:8. Um, Daniel chapter 2:48 says, "Then then the king gave Daniel high honors and many great gifts and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon." made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon. um and chief and chief per prefect over all the wise men of Babylon. So when you're a marketplace prophet, this is your mindset. Dominate. It's almost like you also are frustrated with church because sometimes church teaches uh a um a helpless complex um by the way that we present Christ and obviously he's our savior but you are heavy on like no we can take things beyond we can occupy we can dominate. You are also a person that loves excellence. You want things strived at a you want things done at a high level. So a marketplace thinks in strategy and solutions. A marketplace uh prophet wants to reform and also wants to succeed in business. Uh you also might be called to culture. This is another place where uh uh uh uh profits arise. Um, no matter how much you might think um about Kanye West, when I look and observe his life and I look at his his trend setting uh uh abilities, all right, let's put all the craziness aside. Just the grace that I see operating, I see there's this is a this is a marketplace prophet, but he has no disciplehip or no accountability or doesn't even know that he's called to shape culture and that is something he should be doing for the glory of God. So there's many other people MJ we're thinking right now. He was into the media mountain and so he shaped culture. Uh uh you're also burdened about leadership. You're always reading leadership books. You want to be the head and not the tail. Uh you will also have a discernment about patterns. You can look at wherever God has called you whether it's even property or real estate. You can see where property is going and you can you're almost sometimes ahead of the curve. All right. And you are called to build beyond church walls. Let me tell you, this is a season where we're not just building the church. We're building the ecclesia. And ecclesia has to have the church. It needs to have a seat in government. It needs to have a seat in media. It needs to have the seat in all the different spheres of this world. So what the expression and the full expression of heaven can manifest on the earth. church is is the governing expression of the body, but it's not the only expression that God wants to release on the earth. Now, some of your your your strength is strategy. You're able to say, "Do this, do that, and do this." It's almost like you're you're you're not a counselor. You're a you're you're a strategist. So, you're able to sequence people. If you do this and if you do that and if you do this, you'll get XY. That is the grace of a strategist. This is what Joseph walked in. He said to Pharaoh, he said to to Potifer, uh uh do this, do that, do that, and then you will save uh your nation and and keep some of this and and and and you will preserve yourself in a time of famine. Now, your weakness is overwork. You don't know how to rest. I you have to be very mindful that rest is important to your work. the the the quality of your rest can determine the quality of your effectiveness. Opportunity. You have the opportunity influence culture for the kingdom. You have the opportunity to be soaked in dark places. You have the opportunity to speak to people who will never enter a church, but yet in a boardroom, you're able to give them a word of knowledge. Yet through a conversation with a highkey leader, you are able to maybe share a bit about your faith. Number the the the threat sorry is ambition without intimacy. Okay, you have to make sure your ambition is grounded with intimacy with Christ. Because of your nature of dominating and taking territory, your ambition can lead you out of the will of God. And so you have to ensure that you are intimate with God and that you have a godly ambition that is based on your walk with him.
Number eight. Okay, number seven. I think I I didn't put number eight here. It's all good. Let's let me go to my describe describe describe. Uh let me just ground this in scripture. Habac 2 verse 2. Habac 2 verse two says and the Lord answered me. He said write the vision make it plain on tablets so he may run who read it. Now, scribes, they're probably one of my favorite types as well. Scribes preserve, you preserve revelation through words, through frameworks, through writings, through songs, and through language. Without scribes, we wouldn't have the Bible. Without scribes, we wouldn't have certain accounts of what has happened in history. Scribes are also those who put language to the move of God. There's so much I could say about this, but when you are a scribe, you're always thinking is how do I make this translatable? How do I preserve this moment so it can be preserved? It can be it can be um what's the word Lord? So others who are not in this moment can be a benefit of the moment can can receive the benefit of this moment. Okay. Um let's go to Jeremiah 30 verse 2. Jeremiah 30. Jeremiah 30 verse two. Uh let's read it from verse one says, "The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah from the Lord. Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, write in a book all the words that have spoken to you." Write in a book. I believe even this day God is
Raising up digital scribes, digital scribes, scribes with cameras, scribes with podcast. Whenever you can record a moment or a revelation and make it translatable into another moment, you're a scribe. You're a scribe. Your strength now is clarity. You can make things clear because you can write them clearly, or you can make things emotional or emotive or appealing to the mind because of the way you write. Even the Bible's iscribed, but there are different types of books: poetry, wisdom, historical, all of that appeals to different parts of humanity.
Your weakness is perfectionism. I put my hands up first. Perfectionism. Always trying to tweak. Always trying to get it right.
Opportunity. You have the ability to preserve revelation for others.
Threat is delay and overthinking. Okay, delay and overthinking. That can be a threat because you have to be a go-getter. Usually, with scribe types, they are very contemplative, deep thinkers. Shakespeare: "To be or not to be." I mean, just be. You're here now, like contemplative. You're the philosophers. You're the wordsmiths. So words are very, very important to you, or pictures are very important to you. So you hold these sacred, but you have to learn how to move.
So let's talk about hybrids. Now you can carry more than one expression. You can carry more than one expression. So some people are seer scribes. Some people are intercessors and shepherds. Some people are reformers and marketplace prophets. Some people are forerunners and nabies. Okay? But one is usually dominant. I want to press you. I'll give it another 10 minutes. I want to press you to maybe take a risk and say which one's your most dominant. Okay, in the chat, I just want to see which one is the one. If all had to be stripped away, what is the one thing that you know, you know, you know to the bone you are? A reformer, an intercessor, a scribe, intercessor, seer. Okay, it's so important because, as I said from the start, your dominant type is the lane God will most use. Your dominant type is the lane or the expression that God will most consistently use you through. This is why I said identity begins, or your calling begins in your identity. So as you identify yourself in this wiring, you can see how God wants to use you and you can see where you're called to.
So some of you are intercessors. Now you need to frame your life. Frame your calling. God, what do you want me to intercede for? What is my intercession assignment? Okay. Um, let's move on from this for the sake of time.
So another thing I want to leave you with is that maturity matters. Maturity matters. Okay? Your gift without formation will become a dysfunction. So seers will need grounding. As a seer, you are always seeing, and you can be sometimes out of this world. But you need grounding. Nabies need to learn wisdom with their words. Intercessors need boundaries with what they carry. Reformers need humility. Scribes need to learn how to be consistent. Shepherds need emotional health. Marketplace prophets, you need integrity because the spirit of mammon works heavily in the marketplace.
There's another one I didn't mention. Did I mention the forerunner? I didn't mention the forerunner. Let me quickly speak about the forerunner. The forerunner prepares people for what is coming next. It's linked to the reformer, but the reformer cares about systems. But a forerunner is someone that is a pioneer. You, these are the innovators of the world. Now, innovator doesn't mean you only innovate in technology. You innovate in books. You innovate in movies. You innovate. You're almost like the usher. John was an usher to Jesus. He was ahead. He told people, "There's one coming to me that is greater than I." This is what is going to happen. And so forerunners are preparers. Sometimes they're misunderstood until, unfortunately, the world catches up with them.
So a forerunner, let me tell you the swat of a forerunner. Their strength is pioneering. They break through ground. They're relentless. They push through. Their weakness is impatience. That's why you see John the Baptist, his head had to be cut off because he had a type of personality like, "Let's go, let's go, let's go." So in prison, that got shut down in him. Opportunities is to prepare for the next. You prepare people for the next. Another threat is isolation, once again, and discouragement. So when you're ahead of the curve, sometimes there's no one there to encourage you. Nobody gets it. And so you can become discouraged. So the action is to stay faithful when you're early. Stay faithful when you're early. Some of you are the forerunners in your family. Your family's like in iOS 8, you're here in iOS 16. And the thing is, the danger also is that you can become frustrated with people because they're just not upgrading. And so you need to have the shepherd's heart and realize that maybe you need to guide them. Maybe you need to not run alone. Bring a team. Share the vision. Okay. So that's the forerunners.
So, as I said, you can carry more than one, and maturity matters. So, you know, we've kind of had a mirror moment already, but here are some questions you should maybe take a picture of and ask yourself after this and answer. What's the type I relate to most? The type I relate to most is you can journal. The weakness I need to steward is... The action I need to take this week is... Okay. So as you notice the weakness, you need to think, "Okay, Lord, what do I need to put in place so that I can steward this gift, steward this type in a way that doesn't burn me out, in a way that actually advances your kingdom?" And the environment I need in this season is...
So, we've come to the end. One thing I want to let you know is that you're not here to grow alone. All right? Prophetic deep. You need formation. You need activation. You need character grounding. You need community. You need the ability to steward things. Now, um, I'm not here to upsell you, but I'm here to give you just what I have to offer. Now, this is no obligation. A lot of you said you wanted a community. Okay? I created a community just because you wanted to say you said you wanted a community called the Emerging Voices. This is for people who want ongoing formation. Now, I will put my lives, my slides, all this in the community. So for those who are asking, unfortunately, take your pictures now. All right, just reference me in your pictures. But the slides and the replay will be in the community. I've made it super, super accessible, only $12 a month. Okay, that is the price. I think Netflix is even more than that now. So that's the Emerging Voices. This is ongoing. So you'll get monthly live teaching, community discussions, and replay archives.
Uh, so this is an intensive in the prophetic. Those who want a deeper activation, those who want prophetic training, those who want a curriculum of how to prophesy, and a practical equipping, I'm starting this in June. I've already have about seven people who are on board. I'm only taking 15. So this comes at a higher investment rate. However, you can split it. If you go to the website, you can see all the details, and if you want to track into that, just shoot me a DM. Just say "Soapa," that's fine. If you want Emerging Voices, I believe Tariq is putting also the links there, but you can also DM me and say "Emerging Voices," and I'll be able to help you.
And one thing I also do is one-to-one mentorships. Due to capacity, I can only take a few people at a time, and so if you want one-to-one mentorship, that's also there to offer. And with that saying, also I do offer free consultation talks. On this was a 50-minute brief talk. I try to make it as valuable as possible to you. So if you are saying, "I can't do all of that," book a 15-minute call with me, and I'll slot you in, and I'll be happy to serve you. So that's it for now. I hope this has been a blessing. Let me get... I'll take two questions just because we're over time. I would take two questions. So if you have a question, clarity, um, yesterday, I see your name. Um, I don't want to butcher your name again. I need to repeat it a few times.
>> Antonina or Nina is fine.
>> Okay. I like Nina.
>> Okay. So, it's more of like a comment that I have in this season. I identify. There's a scripture that says that Judah is his scepter and Ephraim is his helmet. So, I identify with Ephraim because I associate Ephraim with strategy and defense. I identify with Esther because of injustice. She fasted and prayed, and God gave her mind what to do. And then Daniel because of the wisdom that he possessed, he was able to advise kings. And so when I look at the prophetic types, all of them can actually be applicable to those three areas that I mentioned. And so it's kind of hard to really identify with one prophetic type when I identify with those three.
>> Yeah, I hear you. I think there's great revelation you shared about Judah and Ephraim. Um, I think based on your assignment and based on your growth, sometimes God will switch modes on different types. Now, these, what I'm trying to do here is provide language. This is not the only way of seeing these things. There are many other prophetic teachers and people who would say, you know, this is all one, one person can carry, and I believe one person can tap into all these. However, I'm trying to awaken people to what they carry, and I'm trying to make it clear in a way that people can now wrestle with the Lord and say, "Okay, Lord, what are you doing in me now?" Mhm. And it sounds like to me like you are definitely a Daniel, a Joseph, an Esther. And in those, yes, you will need to intercede. Daniel was an intercessor. My God, he said, "I won't stop praying." But yes, he was in the marketplace, and he was reforming. And so, it's important that we have a mirror, and even in a mirror, we know like what we are checking for and what we're doing. And I think the most frustrating place to be is when you don't have language for something, and it's just happening. But my goal here is always to just give language so people can discuss, and we can have a forum where we can share what the Lord is doing in us. So, yeah, I hope that answers your question.
>> Yeah, it helped. Excellent job, by the way. Very insightful teaching, and you did provide language for the questions that I had before being a part of this forum. So, thank you so much. God bless you.
>> My pleasure. My pleasure and glory to God. One more question before I pray us out.
>> Okay, I have a question. Um, I'm trying to figure out how to speak in...
>> Alyssa. My name's Alyssa.
>> Alyssa. Okay.
>> So, whenever I... I currently have a mentor right now who's helping me within the prophetic realm, which is wonderful. Um, and something that I'm trying to understand is that it seems to me that every time the prophetic is talked about, it's always talked about in the lens of, "Oh, all of a sudden you're like, I need to go tell that person in blue this word, right? I have a word for them." And that's like the one lens that we often talk about, the prophetic. And the way that you're describing it with these eight different types is obviously doesn't always look and sound like that. And I think something that I identify a lot with, I believe with the nabie, which I had never heard of before. But would that explain why if anyone else on this call maybe feels not like they're part of the nabie identification? I haven't necessarily felt like I've had that overwhelming, "Oh my gosh, I have to go tell that person this word from God." But yet, whenever I am talking with them, especially one-on-one, I get a sense of then the words really strongly come to me, and it's like I have to tell them something. But it doesn't necessarily happen with just like a random stranger that I see in the distance and I feel like I have to go up to them. It usually only happens in one-on-one conversation, and I'm able to see something really quickly, and it feels like I have to tell them. And I guess to me, it's felt like I'm doing prophetic wrong, or that I'm not really prophetic because I don't have that again, like I'm in a... I see a stranger and I feel like I have to go up to them and tell them something. That doesn't really happen to me. Um, and it makes me feel like I'm doing prophetic wrong, if that makes sense.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you for sharing that experience. I think a lot of us would resonate with that. Okay. Am I doing the prophetic wrong if I'm not the one that goes and says, "Hey, God gave me your word and this and that"? I say that's just a mold. That's an expression. That's what the Lord is doing through that person. I'm always encouraged by Abraham. Abraham, God called him a prophet, but I don't see anywhere where he prophesied. And when I was sitting with the Lord, he showed me, he said that his life was a prophetic message. Um, I think also with you, what I hear even by your word is by the way you speak, there's conviction. There's a clarity and conviction. You speak from the heart. So your, maybe your second type would probably be maybe a shepherd or an intercessor because it seems like that one-to-one connects something in your heart and unlocks that conviction and that nabie way is like, "I want to... this is what I need to say to you," because maybe I care. Now, with strangers, maybe I'm not saying that you're an uncaring person, but maybe just there's not a pulling, there's no relationship, there's no investment. But when you're one-to-one, you're able to kind of sit down and... Are you a coach by any chance?
>> Yes.
>> Yeah. So you love the one-to-ones.
>> It's... Yeah, I'm in coach. I was a coach, but now I do sales.
>> Do... Yeah.
>> Oh, yeah. Yeah. Prophets in sales, too. My God. All right. So like, I'm just like, I hope my desire is just to give language and to, you know, I'm not saying this is the right way or I've had an extensive... not what can I say, like there's God speaks, and when he's speaking, he's speaking to a... how I see it's like a treasure chest that I'm not even seeing. So even that experience there is like, wow, like I'm even thinking about how do prophets operate in sales? Like, how does that even work? But I'm seeing like, yeah, you need to pray for your clients. You need to have a shepherd's heart, but you also sometimes need to be a reformer. So yeah, I... I'm blessed by this experience too. Um, and I hope did I answer your question?
>> Yes. Yes, you did. Thank you. I... what you reflected back is what I have heard before as well. So, thank you for what you said. Thank you.
>> Yeah. Why did you stop coaching? Oh.
>> Um, I... I was in the new age world and then I found Jesus. And when I was in the new age, that's when I was doing coaching, and I burned my whole business down when I came back to Jesus. And I kind of went into seclusion, and I just needed to be out of the public eye. And so I stopped. And I actually ended up in a sales role, and I found that that's actually coming to me extremely naturally, and it's going really beautifully. But as of late, yes, the Lord is starting... is putting it back on my heart that I have to get back into coaching, even though I begrudgingly don't want to. But that's mostly out of fear. But...
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. Okay. Well, I would love to have a conversation with you. Do message me if you can.
>> Thank you.
>> All right, guys. I have to go before I turn this into a prophetic ministration type of thing. God bless you all. Let me pray. Father, we thank you for everyone that's gathered here, everyone that's even watching the replay. Father, I ask you by your Spirit that you continue to confirm what you have called them to. I pray that you'll continue to form their identity. And Father, no matter if we ever meet again, we ever talk again, Father, I pray that they go deeper in you and deeper in self-discovery of you in them. Precious Holy Spirit, let there be a deeper activation of the prophetic on the inside of them. I pray by the means of them being on this call, they receive a grace. They receive something fresh. They receive something that makes them more authoritative in whatever they go to do and whoever they've called to touch. Father, I release a blessing right now. And Father, I pray that you order their steps into what you have ordained for them to discover and learn. Father, I bless them now and I thank you for this time in Jesus' mighty name. Amen. Amen. Well, guys, that's the end. God bless you all, and yeah, hope to see you in another live session. I'll be doing more. So I would love to know like what you would want to learn a bit more, and I can see if God gives me the grace to teach that and create another live session like this. God bless you all and have a great and phenomenal evening.
