Prophetic Activation

CREATIVE ACTIVATIONS ARE designed to stretch you beyond the normal way you would hear and release a prophetic word. These are designed to have you prophesy on things you wouldn’t normally prophesy on. Most people prophesy on hope, faith, and other words, but to prophesy on things such as “the ear” causes you to have to rely on the creativity and innovation of the Spirit. Prophets are, by nature, very creative and innovative. Those attributes are part of the prophet’s mantle. God is the Creator, and He dwells in a place of new things and uncommon, divine creativity. He wants His prophets in that place with Him, ready to hear and act on His spontaneous word.

This activation begins with praying for God to do something new in the person’s life you are ministering to. As you pray, believe God for a word that will release something new in the person’s life, and then launch into the prophetic flow. You can prophesy new doors, new anointing, new relationships, new health, new revelation, and the like.

See, the former things have come to pass, and new things I declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them.

—ISAIAH 42:9

This activation begins by asking God what He is creating for the person you are ministering to, or what they have been created for (their purpose), and then launching into the prophetic flow. God’s Word is creative because God is creative.

You have heard; see all this. And will you not declare it? I have shown you new things from this time, even hidden things, and you did not know them. They are created now and not from the beginning; even before the day when you did not hear them, lest you should say, “Yes, I knew them.”

—ISAIAH 48:6–7

But now, thus says the LORD who created you, O Jacob, and He who formed you, O Israel: Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine.

—ISAIAH 43:1

This activation is designed to minster to the person poetically. Prophecy can be poetic, which is a powerful way to minster to people. Ask the Lord to give you a rhyme for the person you are ministering to, and launch into the prophetic flow. Take your time in this activation, and let the Holy Spirit give you the words. Here’s an example of what prophetic rhyme looks like:

I am with you today;

don’t be afraid.

I will go with you;

your future I have made.

I speak to you today.

You now hear My voice

Don’t be sad.

It is time to rejoice.

This activation focuses on the ear of the person you are ministering to. God often speaks to us concerning our ear (hearing). Touch the person’s ear and pray for their spiritual hearing, and then launch into the prophetic word. Here are a couple examples of prophesying about someone’s ear: “I am opening your ear to hear My voice,” or “I am closing your ear to the voice of the enemy.”

Give ear, O my people, to my teaching: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

—PSALM 78:1

This activation focuses on the eyes of the person you are ministering to. Pray for the person’s eyes and ask the Lord to give you a word. Then launch into the prophetic word. The eyes are related to vision, discernment, revelation, insight, focus, etc.

Your eyes shall see the King in His beauty; they shall see the land that is very far away.

—ISAIAH 33:17

This activation focuses on the mouth and tongue. Pray for the person’s mouth and tongue, ask the Lord to give you a word, and then launch into the prophetic flow. Words for this prophetic activation can include preaching, teaching, singing, prophesying, praying, public speaking, wisdom, and the like.

Then the lame man shall leap as a deer, and the tongue of the mute sing for joy. For in the wilderness waters shall break out and streams in the desert.

—ISAIAH 35:6

Hold the person by the hand and pray for their hands while asking the Lord to give you a word; then launch into the prophetic flow. Examples of words given during this activation can include healing hands, God holding their hands, God lifting their hands, God using their hands, and the like.

Thus says the LORD to Cyrus, His anointed, whose right hand I have held—to subdue nations before him and to loosen the loins of kings, to open before him so that the gates will not be shut.

—ISAIAH 45:1

Lay your hand on the person’s head and pray for their mind and thought life. Ask the Lord to give you a word for their mind and thoughts, and launch into the prophetic word. Words can include knowledge, intelligence, creativity, order, restoration, and the like.

Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts.

—PSALM 139:23, KJV

Pray for the feet of the person. The feet represent the person’s walk, path, and journey. Ask the Lord to give you a word, and launch into the prophetic flow. Words that can be released during this kind of activation can include new feet, beautiful feet, new path, different path, travel, and so on.

So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.

—EZEKIEL 37:10
