1. Where are you most tempted to skim? 2. Do you rush interpretation, rush delivery, or move on before an impression has been tested? 1. Can you remember a time when God gave you a word primarily to change you? 2. What practice would help you stay with God longer before speaking? 3. How can our community honor depth without making the final release confusing or overly complicated? Chapter 7 gives a practical structure for a responsible alarm. First, state what God is revealing as plainly as possible. Second, explicitly reject fear and panic. Third, give specific actions. Pray for what? Repent of what? Prepare how? Speak to whom? Wait for what? Fourth, identify the correct audience. Some burdens belong in private prayer. Some belong in the counsel of mature leaders. Some belong to a local congregation or city. Only some belong on a public platform. 1. What makes a prophetic warning clear rather than vague? 2. How can we tell whether a warning belongs in prayer, in leadership counsel or in public? 3. What damage occurs when a warning is released without instruction? Activation: Search, Shape and Sound Step one: Search for two minutes. Ask the Holy Spirit, What are You saying to strengthen, protect or prepare this community or city? Remain quiet. Write only what you receive. Do not interpret yet. Step two: Test for two minutes. Write a Scripture that aligns with the impression. Ask whether the word reflects the nature and purposes of Jesus. Ask whether any part may be coming from fear, assumption or current news. Step three: Shape for two minutes. Put the word into four short lines: What is God highlighting? Why should we not fear? What specific response is He asking for? Who is the intended audience? Step four: Sound for one minute. Was the sound clear? Was there practical direction? Did the word produce faith and readiness rather than fear? Was the intended audience clear?

Hi! I have a meeting Tuesday evening and will have to miss PC. I will catch you all next week.

PROPHETIC ACTIVATION SCRIPTURE ROOTED ENCOURAGEMENT Instructions: 1. Group 2. Each person quietly asks the Holy Spirit for a brief encouragement for another person. 3. Before speaking, identify one Scripture that supports the encouragement. 4. Share the Scripture first. 5. Then say, “I sense the Lord may be highlighting” rather than using controlling or absolute language. 6. Keep the word focused on strengthening, encouragement and comfort. 7. The receiver shares what resonates and may ask a clarifying question. 8. If the word does not resonate, the giver responds, “Thank you for helping me learn,” without defending it
