A Different Kind of Training
Most prophetic training starts by trying to activate you. We start somewhere different. We start by knowing Him.
Prophecy is one of the most widely distributed gifts in the body of Christ, and it is for you. But a true word carried by an unhealed heart can still wound. Across the series we build the whole picture, in this order on purpose: the heart first, then the understanding, then the skill, then the safeguards. Whether you are brand new to hearing God's voice or you have been prophesying for years, there is a place for you in the room.
You can't give what you don't have, and you can't represent who you don't know.
The Heart
Humility, wholeness, and intimacy with God as the foundation for everything else.
The Understanding
What the revelatory gifts are, that they are still for today, and how they work.
The Skill
How to hear, interpret, and deliver a word with His heart and in His love.
The Safeguards
Testing, discernment, and accountability, so the gift builds people up and never tears them down.

The Pursuit of Prophecy
Why pursuing the gift of prophecy is really the pursuit of God, what the spirit of prophecy actually is (the testimony of Jesus), and whether the revelatory gifts are still for today.
Same Spirit, Different Manifestations
How God speaks, and the manifestations of the Spirit: words of knowledge, words of wisdom, discerning of spirits, tongues, and their interpretation. Plus why a healed heart carries a cleaner word.
Receive, Understand, Release
Revelation, Interpretation, Application: how a true word travels. Receiving what God shows you, discerning what it actually means, and releasing it with the right timing and heart. Anchored in 1 Corinthians 13:9, we prophesy in part.
A Night of Prayer & Worship
A prophetic gathering. We set the outlines down and simply listened to the Holy Spirit, for ourselves, our families, our church, our city, and our nation. Not information; intimacy.
Fan Into Flame
Four ways to grow in the prophetic: Ask, Practice, Risk, Endure. The gift is already in you. God gives the flame; we tend it. Anchored in 2 Timothy 1:6, fan into flame the gift of God.
Tested and Growing
The Fruit Test · Growing and Activation. Weighing prophecy by its fruit, and a path to keep growing for life. This session was rescheduled; the new date will be posted here.
Dream Interpretation
A framework for interpreting your dreams. Every dream communicates something, though not every dream is from God. Is it literal or symbolic, what are the symbols saying, is it for you or someone else, what timeframe, and how do you test it. Anchored in Job 33:14-16, God opens the ears of men while they sleep.
Free Resources
Keep these. They are built to sit next to your Bible and your dream journal, not to replace them.
A Biblical Symbol Reference
Sixty-three symbols that show up in dreams and visions, each one tied to the actual verses where it appears, so you can look it up yourself. Covers the Spirit and revelation, creatures, the body, places, objects, seasons, and a deliberately cautious page on numbers and colors. Includes the symbols that carry opposite meanings, because a lion is Christ in one verse and the enemy in another.
The Dream Interpretation Handout
The follow-along outline for the teaching, a reference card for the five questions to ask a dream, a dream journal page to start tonight, and a reading list for further study on dreams. Free with your email.
A word on symbol dictionaries: they are useful for jogging your thinking and they are never an authority. Scripture first, your own personal context second, any dictionary a distant third.
Run This With Your Church
The whole series and every handout are free to use with your small group, your leadership team, or your whole church. No permission needed. If you want help thinking it through, that is exactly what The Deliverance Exchange is for.
