The Challenge with Prophetic Acts
For you to understand prophetic acts that believers experience when praying in tongues, you have to start by understanding what most believers miss.
Many tongues-speaking believers ignore prophetic acts. They either suppress them or just never bother to understand them when they experience them.
Suppressing prophetic acts is usually a result of fear. Many believers get very scared when they start doing prophetic acts.
But someone may ask, what exactly are these prophetic acts?
Well, prophetic acts are basically body movements that align with the message you are speaking in tongues. Think of someone waging spiritual warfare, and they start stamping their foot repeatedly. That is a prophetic act to emphasize the crushing of the enemy.
By doing the prophetic acts, the believer cements his faith. Remember, faith without action is dead.
When you pray in tongues and make declarations of faith, the Holy Spirit will usually lead you to accompany them with prophetic acts to establish what He has led you to declare.
Even if you didn’t understand what you were declaring in tongues, you can analyze your prophetic acts and tell what the Holy Spirit was leading you to declare.
Ignoring prophetic acts starves your faith in the tongues you are speaking. That is why understanding prophetic acts when praying in tongues is important.
To help you understand prophetic acts better, let me use a very interesting story from the Bible.
Scriptural Context
Pay attention to this interesting story in the book of 2 Kings 13:14-19. This is what the Bible says…
Elisha had become sick with the illness of which he would die. Then Joash the king of Israel came down to him, and wept over his face, and said, “O my father, my father, the chariots of Israel and their horsemen!”
And Elisha said to him, “Take a bow and some arrows.” So he took himself a bow and some arrows. Then he said to the king of Israel, “Put your hand on the bow.” So he put his hand on it, and Elisha put his hands on the king’s hands.
And he said, “Open the east window”; and he opened it. Then Elisha said, “Shoot”; and he shot. And he said, “The arrow of the Lord’s deliverance and the arrow of deliverance from Syria; for you must strike the Syrians at Aphek till you have destroyed them.”
Then he said, “Take the arrows”; so he took them. And he said to the king of Israel, “Strike the ground”; so he struck three times, and stopped. And the man of God was angry with him, and said, “You should have struck five or six times; then you would have struck Syria till you had destroyed it! But now you will strike Syria only three times.”
This story is loaded with information about prophetic acts.
Let me break it down for you.
Prophetic Acts Knowledge
Elisha was a prophet. No wonder he was at the center of this incident.
At that time, Elisha was about to die. King Joash came to ask for help to overcome his enemies.
Because Elisha was about to die, he decided to give the King faith that he could use to prevail over his enemies even in his absence.
First, Elisha asked the King to pick a bow and some arrows. This was significant because battles were fought with bows and arrows.
Elisha then told the King to put his hand on the bow, and Elisha put his hands on the King’s hands. This was to affirm that God would empower the hand of the King in battle.
Elisha then commanded the king to open the east window and shoot. This was to signify the beginning of a new chapter where Israel would prevail over the Assyrians.
Then Elisha instructed the King to strike the ground, but the King only struck it three times. The ground is the origin of man. By striking it with an arrow, it gave the King power to kill his enemies.
Unfortunately, the king only struck the ground three times. Had he struck it six times, it would have equaled the number of days God made His creation, and that would mean nothing in creation could stop his victory.
So, what do all these have to do with prophetic acts when praying in tongues?
Prophetic Acts when Praying in Tongues
Just as Elisha was leading the king to make prophetic acts to prevail over his enemies, the Holy Spirit leads us to do prophetic acts to prevail over our enemies.
Every instruction from the Holy Spirit is significant, just as every instruction Elisha gave to the king was significant.
Many times, we don’t understand why the Holy Spirit is leading us to do certain prophetic acts, just as the king did not fully understand why Elisha was asking him to do some of the prophetic acts.
Sometimes we don’t fully obey the Holy Spirit in doing the prophetic acts and limit our own victory, just as the King didn’t shoot more arrows to get complete victory over the Assyrians.
In simple terms, when we pray in tongues and request the Holy Spirit to lead us, we are like King Joash, and the Holy Spirit is like Elisha. If we are obedient, we gain victory. If we are disobedient, we limit our victory.
Therefore, when you pray in tongues and feel led to do certain prophetic acts, do them without hesitation. They are way more important than you may think.
