Understanding The Prophetic Matrix: The Healing Process Of A Seer, #2

By Ed Brinkman

Though a lot of material is written about the prophetic ministry or gifting: sadly, it is hugely misconceived in Christendom for a long time. There are many aspects of the prophetic that are still in the realm of mystery to many. Primarily, it has remained a mystery what happened during a prophetic encounter. In Understanding The Prophetic Matrix, Ed Brinkman delves deep into the prophetic dynamics to unlock mysteries/secrets of the prophetic, bringing out in a simple but powerful way, insights unveiled to him by the Holy Spirit as he strives to answer questions such as:

What is it that makes prophets not to understand the prophetic?

Where do people go wrong regarding the prophetic?

What are the dangers of receiving and delivering through the prophetic gift or office?

Where should the giver of prophecy and the receiver of prophecy be during the prophetic moment? Is it a situation of merit? Must there be a unique 'climate' for the gift or office to operate, or should the giver and receiver be in a special 'place' for the gift to function?

What happens if the character is not ready for prophetic utterances?

You will also discover what prophecy is all about and what God's initial plans are regarding hearing from Him through prophecy. You will also gain insight into the design of prophecy for all spheres of society, whether individual, family, business, politics, social, and even the church. Learn why a prophetic word needs to have a season of fulfillment and the giver of prophecy to mature in character.

PREFACE AND INTRODUCTION

Writing this book aims to contribute to understanding the prophetic in its reception, interpretation, and presentation. I want to write it most simply in other words, in layman's terms, as the saying goes. It is not my desire to undermine or underestimate any other books written on the prophetic but to bring about an understanding to it through my own experience for the last 30 years of moving in the prophetic.

There is a misunderstanding of the prophetic office and gifts for many years. What is it about this ministry that is making it difficult for people to understand it? Where do we go wrong, and what are the 'dangers' of giving or receiving this gift? Where should the giver of prophecy be and likewise the receiver of prophecy? Must there be a 'special climate' for this gift to operate, or should the giver and receiver be in a special 'holy place' to contribute to the functioning of it?

It is vital to know what prophecy is and what God's initial

plan was and still is for people to receive from Him through prophecy. It is

essential to know and understand whether the prediction is a Rhema word for the 'now' or 'later.' Is it only for the believers, or can prophesy also be a 'blessing' for the sinners? Through this work, I pray that we will see what prophecy is not.

My focus on writing this book is to shed some light on dark revelations, whether on a personal, individual, family, business, church, city, or country-level of prophecy, even in the marketplace and world affairs matter. It's also essential to know that a prophetic word has a 'season' to mature and a character (soil) to develop. So what happens if the 'soil' is not 'ready' for the prophetic utterance? All of these questions and more are what I am endeavoring to address through this book.

I'm hoping and praying that by the time you finish reading this book, you will have an in-depth and more precise understanding of the prophetic gift and office. May all misconceptions be removed. The reason for this book is to reveal that our absolute faith and trust in not only on our calling but that our selection and appointment are also crucial to complete it. My prayers are that your journey through this book will bring more insight and revelation and that it will inspire you to flow in the prophetic if that is what you wish for or just to broaden your understanding. May this gift be a blessing to you and prosper and establish you in person or ministry or the marketplace.

I will use some keys from the Life of Nehemiah to shed some light on the prophetic development. Much like Nehemiah, you may have a call on your life for a specific season and time. You might not even be aware of it, or you are knowledgeable of it, but not ready for the 'job.' I trust that you will find direction through this book as I prayed that it
