SEPTEMBER – THE MONTH OF PROPHETIC LIVING
Main Scripture:
John 10:27 — “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.”
At It Is Well Church Int’l, September is declared The Month of Prophetic Living.
This month, we are intentionally learning to live as believers who hear God, know His heart, discern His leading, and respond to Him in obedience.
From Genesis to Revelation, we encounter a God who speaks. In the New Testament, through Jesus Christ, we have been brought into relationship with the Father and given the Holy Spirit who lives in us and leads us. Prophetic living, therefore, is not simply about receiving prophecies or predicting future events. It is about living in fellowship with God and allowing His Word, His Spirit, and His will to shape our everyday lives.
Jesus said, “My sheep hear My voice.” Hearing God is therefore connected to relationship. We learn His voice by knowing Him, remaining in His Word, growing in prayer, and becoming sensitive to the Holy Spirit.
We are people of the Word and the Spirit. The written Word of God remains our foundation and standard. Whatever we believe we have heard must be tested and must agree with the truth and character of God revealed in Scripture.
Prophetic living must ultimately produce Christlike lives. It should lead us into greater obedience, love, holiness, service, encouragement of others, and deeper intimacy with God.
Our Monthly Emphasis:
This September, we shall focus on:
1. Hearing God Clearly
We will cultivate intimacy with God through His Word, prayer, worship, and fellowship with the Holy Spirit.
2. Discerning and Testing
We will not simply accept every voice, impression, dream, or prophetic utterance. We will test what we receive and remain grounded in Scripture (1 Thessalonians 5:20–21; 1 John 4:1).
3. Speaking God’s Heart
According to 1 Corinthians 14:3, prophecy should bring edification, exhortation, and comfort. We desire to speak words that reveal God's heart and build His people.
4. Responding in Obedience
Prophetic living is incomplete if we hear but refuse to obey. When God gives direction that is consistent with His Word, we must be willing to respond.
5. Representing Christ
Jesus remains our ultimate example. He lived in communion with the Father and sought to do the Father's will. Our prophetic lives must likewise point people to Christ rather than ourselves.
Prophetic Word for September
September shall be a month of prophetic sensitivity, alignment, clarity, and obedience.
We believe that as we intentionally draw closer to God, many will become more sensitive to His leading. Confusion will give way to clarity. Fear will give way to faith. Distraction will give way to divine focus.
The Lord is calling His people into deeper fellowship with Him.
This month, we will not chase manifestations while neglecting the One who manifests Himself. We will not pursue prophetic words more than we pursue God. We will seek the Giver before the gift, His presence before the platform, and His Word above our personal opinions.
We believe God will use His Word, the gifts of the Holy Spirit, prophetic ministry, godly counsel, and Spirit-led believers to strengthen, encourage, correct, confirm, and bring His people into greater alignment with His purposes.
September is a month to hear, discern, believe, obey, and become.
Prayer for September
Father, thank You that You are a speaking God and that through Jesus Christ we have been brought into fellowship with You.
As we enter this month of Prophetic Living, open our ears to hear You, our hearts to receive Your Word, and our wills to obey You. Ground us deeply in Scripture and make us sensitive to the Holy Spirit.
Give us discernment to test what we hear, humility to receive correction, wisdom to recognize Your leading, and courage to obey when You speak.
Guard us from deception, pride, presumption, and the desire to make the prophetic about ourselves. May every gift, utterance, revelation, and manifestation among us exalt Jesus Christ and build His Church.
Let our lives become living expressions of Your heart on the earth.
In Jesus' Name, Amen.
