Welcome to Renaissance Voices. My name is Kristene ODell, owner of 8 Owls Publishing. Have you ever wanted to get to know the authors behind the books you read? I have! I’m fascinated by the way Jesus moves in the lives of real people with real stories who have met a real Savior in their time of need. It’s these types of authors I love to work with and it’s my privilege to introduce them to you.

Season 2 - Episode 4

by Kristene O'Dell

This is an engaging conversation with Pastor Rich Knight as we touch on the three resources we (8 Owls Publishing) created for him. Although prophetic ministry can seem mystical, it is actually simplistic in its approach and brings comfort, exhortation, and encouragement.

Time Stamps:

4:22: People are not designed to analyze God, but rather experience God.

5:23: We are to live in relationship with God; and His ways are higher than our natural world’s ways. He calls us up into His.

5:35: “The spirit of prophecy is the testimony of Jesus.” A testimony is an eyewitness account. Through the gifts of the Spirit, we can have an eyewitness account of what Jesus is doing in the earth–that’s the New Testament gift of prophecy.

6:39: Prophecy can be defined: to utter divine inspiration. It’s edifying, exhorting, and comforting language. It’s second nature as Christians to want to move under divine inspiration to help one another and lift one another up.

7:59: We are all called to prophesy.

10:45: Pastor Rich has three books with us: The Divine Articles of Warfare; The Revelatory River, and The Dream Hacker’s Guide.

11:57: There is a language to dream interpretation that can take much of the mystery out of the interpretation. God’s language is clear in the fact that He is not so mystical that He doesn’t want you to understand what He is saying. He speaks to you in a way, that with some skill sets, it will be clear to you.

14:35: Interpreting dreams is both personal and principled.

17:52: No one comes out of the gate a seasoned dream interpreter. Start with your own before you try to interpret for others and let God grow you in the understanding of His Word.

18:17: The Bible tells us that God will speak to us in parables and dark sayings. The word used for that means “knotted puzzle.” This means we need to unravel something, put the pieces together, and figure it out.

19:05: Dream interpretation is a great evangelism tool.
