God does not measure time, He measures growth. How we respond to the prophetic word dictates what will happen to it and to us. Prophecy provides us with foresight into the mind and heart of God. We see what He sees and our life opens up to new developments. Without insight however, many prophetic words are relegated to words in a file. It is possible to live with a sense of promise but have small means of fulfillments. Gods word changes us first and then works through us to provoke the faith required to take the necessary steps of alignment. Timing is more important than time in Gods purposes. Enlightenment enables us to understand how the Lord loves to work in our lives so that we increase in grace and favor as we practice taking possession of the prophetic word. In this third book in the Prophetic Equipping series, Graham Cooke provides revelatory insights into how prophecy practically unfolds and combines that with intuitive observations into the process of spiritual development.

EndorsementsOliver Wendell Holmes said that ones mind, once stretched by a new ides, never regains its original dimensions. Prophetic Wisdom will enlarge your spirit to a capacity that it will never be the same again. Graham Cooke has delivered to the Body of Christ a wisdom that has been developed in the rich experiences of his life and in the presence of his Father. This is a book I have prayed would be written. There are few that could write such a book a book that brings greater clarity to the prophetic, gentle correction to some prevailing ideas on discipleship and authority and a fresh comprehension into the purposes and processes of God. Thank you, Graham, for your courage and compassion in delivering this work to us! It will be a rich resource for guiding the Church in these days. Don Milam, Vice President, Author Development, Destiny Image Publishers
Not many books that Im aware of deal in a constructive way with the issue of how the believer should respond to the prophetic word. Graham Cooke beautifully addresses the prophetic impact of the Scriptures themselves as they were received by the biblical authors and provides biblically sound instruction on how to receive and lay hold of the prophetic word spoken through prophetic people today. Even better, he reveals the incredible, unfathomable love of the Father while speaking into the nature of true discipleship. Prophetic words find fulfillment in the life of one who has become Christ-like! Destinies are made in this way and ministries are born and thrive. This book is filled with zingers, bits of concentrated prophetic wisdom compressed into nourishing pills to be washed down with the water of the Spirit to enrich our lives. R. Loren Sandford, Author of Understanding Prophetic People, Purifying the Prophetic and Renewal for the Wounded Warrior
