Poetry as Prophecy IS NOT a Special Anointing (2)
Copyright 2017 Theresa Harvard Johnson
There are many believers who believe that “poetic prophecy” is a special anointing for prophetic writers. This is a huge misconception.
Writing prophecy poetically IS NOT a special gift and it is also NOT unique. The style might be unique to the poet, but the uniqueness ends there.
Writing prophetically through poetic form was COMMON and THE NORM for scribes of the Bible. It is what nearly ALL the prophets of the Bible did as chosen vessels of the Lord. This isn’t “Theresa Harvard Johnson” talking out of her head! Rather, this is a known and accepted fact in Hebrew culture. The biblical writers understood that they were writing poetry when they prophesied just as scholars and historians have unanimously verified it today. Any one who takes the time to study the Hebrew Bible in antiquity either independently or through a seminary course will get this clarity and understanding within the first season of their studies. They will come to understand that ancient Bible literature in seminary included nearly 75-percent poetry – the Torah, the wisdom books, the poetry books and the prophets.
Poetry as Prophecy IS NOT a Special Anointing
When you LIVE in the prophetic realm and embrace a revelatory lifestyle, you write out of that “prophetic stream” subconsciously. For the prophetic WRITER, there are numerous “ways” in which the prophetic is demonstrated in the gift.

The Healing Power of Forgiveness (2)
Copyright 2014 Theresa Harvard Johnson
If ever there was a poison plaguing the Body of Christ, it is the toxins that fall from deep roots of unforgiveness. I can testify to this truth in my own lif. I desire to be WHOLE and fully free from the issues of my heart that have bound me for over 30 years… and that have found themselves threatened to be compounded with each new wounding. You see, wounding will occur! How we respond to it and process it, however, is another story. In my own life unforgiveness was one of the most misunderstood hindrances to my freedom from sin. By revelation, I learned that it was also the cause of a re-occuring illness in my life that I just gained healing from due to a process of letting go.
I had my understanding tucked away in a tight box that says: “I have already forgiven.” People of God, I am here to tell you that forgiveness can be a lifetime “in the making” and that the measure of forgiveness that we believe we have given may not represent the depth of forgiveness that God is seeking in us. Could it be that the “forgiveness” that we sometimes believe we have is only a surface level… of which we have convinced ourselves that it is complete?
