Works of the Kingdom James tells us, the body without the spirit is dead, and so is faith without deeds (Jas. 2:26). When one is doing the works of the Father, this practice increases the deeds you do. Moreover, this also increases your faith to facilitate increased prophetic work. There is, of course, a balance between doing good deeds and developing a relationship with the Lord. Your gift flows out of the grace of the Holy Spirit; so does your deeds. However, the scriptural pattern shows us that the more you are willing to be used for the Kingdom of …

Spend more quiet time with God One of these practices include spending time with God. Since this progression is based on a relationship, it’s vital for prophets to actively set time to seek God, to dwell in His presence, and to listen to His voice.
