In the year 2009 we've had a regular flow of prophecies at City on the Hill. I've been in the ministry for thirty years and I can't remember a time where we've had a regular stream of prophetic utterances week after week for five months and running!
When God gives me a prophecy or an interpretation of a Spirit-inspired tongue I usually only get the first four or five words. I've learned over the years to speak those first few words out in faith and then the rest of the "word from the Lord" flows freely out of my spirit. These prophetic utterances are not coming from your mind; you are not thinking them up or making them up as you go! These utterances are coming from your human spirit as inspired by the Holy Spirit within you. I know in my own experience that I have to go back and listen to a recording to see for sure what the Spirit of the Lord has said through me. I can't tell you exactly what I've said; I can only remember the major theme of the prophecy.
