"I will stand at my watch and station myself on the ramparts; I will look to see what he will say to me, and what answer I am to give to this complaint. Then the Lord replied: 'Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it. For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay.'" - Habakkuk 2:1-3

Write it down, Read It often, Run with the vision!

"We cannot accurately interpret or pursue what we cannot remember. There is tremendous importance in writing down, tape recording, or keeping some kind of record of prophetic words. Don't rely purely on your memory. Having a record of prophecy helps us to remember the whole word, keeps us from adding thoughts to the word, and builds our faith when we go back and read the word. We can also see how the word we receive fits in with what God has said to us in the past. There are times, however, when we do not clearly understand all that God is trying to say to us at the time the word is given. Having a record of the word helps us go back and gain fresh understanding at a later time." - Chuck Pierce/Rebecca Wagner Sytsema   

"I have developed the habit of writing down everything. This has helped me accommodate the Lord's tendency to speak to me at 'inconvenient' times. I think the Lord speaks to us at inconvenient times to test our desire to hear him... This habit [of writing it down and/or recording the revelations we get] will help us meditate on what He says to us... If we do not write down the revelation, we may lose the blessing that was meant for us and others." - Jack Deere

"Most big, bold prophetic words contain miraculous breakthroughs that are beyond human efforts. There are certain promises that take God's power to fulfill. You cannot make the fulfillment happen, but you can obey small, daily instructions and take steps of faith as you advance in the will of God for your life. For example, if the word is about financial breakthrough, it may be that the Lord deals with you about sowing and stewardship. Listen for His instructions. Many times, prophetic words create forward motion in your life." - Ryan LeStrange

"When we embrace or grab hold of a word, it activates faith to see the word fulfilled. Remember that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17). When we embrace a true prophetic word, it brings faith that God has a destiny for us. We must allow ourselves to embrace our prophetic word with the faith that God is well to do what He said He would do." - Chuck Pierce/Rebecca Wagner Sytsema  

"Timothy, my son, here are my instructions for you, based on the prophetic words spoken about you earlier. May they help you fight well in the Lord’s battles." - 1 Timothy 1:18 NLT

We come in agreement with the prophetic word by partnering with God in prayer over it. As the apostle Paul said to  Timothy, "...use your prophecies as weapons as you wage spiritual warfare by faith" (TPT). We get to pray it through; to call it forth until it comes to pass; to bring it to birth. 

"Praying is one of the most practical things we can do, both to get revelation and to understand it... How much revelation we forfeit simply because we do not ask God to tell us 'unsearchable things?' How much revelation do we fail to understand because we do not ask God to reveal its meaning?" - Jack Deere"

"I have found many times that as I have taken a prophetic word and prayed over it, the Father then gives me further instruction and more direction. This is so vital to steward a prophetic word. Also, the word brings faith and power into your life. Speak the word over your life." - Ryan LeStrange

"Because prophecy is provisional, once we know what God wants to do in our lives, the best thing to do is to pray along those lines. This will not only help to build our relationship to God and build persistence in faith, it can also teach us spiritual warfare. The enemy does not want to see God's will accomplished in our lives and will do all he can to see that we are not successful in reaching our destinies. That is why we must commit ourselves to praying through the word until we see it come to pass." - Chuck Pierce/Rebecca Wagner Sytsema 

"Prophecy is often provisional. That means that there is something we must do to see it all come to pass. There are conditions to meet... Something that has been prophesied to us may never come to pass if we are not faithful to meet the conditions." - Chuck Pierce/Rebecca Wagner Sytsema

"Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us." - Romans 5:3-5 NIV

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law." - Galatians 5:22-23 NIV

"Prophecy—the kind that speaks to your destiny—communicates God's perfect will [for your life], but will often not show you the journey and pruning process that it take to get you there." - Judy Karanja

Prophecy requires patience, perseverance, self-control, and many more fruit that only Holy Spirit can help you grow in. Learn to grow in character as you wait on the Lord for the promise of God. Surely, you will need to grow into the big shoes which God has called you. So partner with God in your word. Ask, "God, what needs to change in me to carry out your plan and destiny for my life?" Let him know, "I want to have my character shaped into the character of Jesus, that I may steward well what You want to give me; that I may carry out your will, in your timing, and with your mind and heart. 

"You cannot tell God when or how the word comes to pass. You must rest in the reality that in the spirit, the fulfillment of the word is done! That is what faith is—the realization that it is finished. There is no worry about the matter when you are in faith. Our Father partners with patience. Patience is the ability to wait without being anxious. There are many lessons in the process of waiting. Find the beauty in the journey and trust God with the timing." - Ryan Le Strange

"Having completed [the previous steps], we should look for and expect that the word will be fulfilled... God desires that His word be made flesh—that the intangible substance of a prophetic promise become a tangible reality in our lives."- Chuck Pierce/Rebecca Wagner Sytsema
