- "I hear God saying that you are a 'hunted man' this year. I see you covered in targets (bullseyes) and Holy Spirit is on the hunt for you. You know that He is always with you, but He is also hunting you now. I see Him shooting you in the places you have targets on you. The shots seem to come out of no where and catch you by surprise. These shots are not bad, they are shots of grace - grace in areas of healing, finances, relationships, etc. I see God increasing your awareness. Some things that feel like pressure are actually just tools to build awareness. He will be revealing to your heart who you are and who He is in relationship with you. The mantle of leadership is on you, and God is going to continue your development as a leader." [paraphrase]
Prophetic Word from BSSM Alumnus - 09/09/13:
- "[God is] proud of you and who you are. You are so important in the Kingdom. This year will be revelation and understanding. It will all make sense. The pieces are coming together. You will have vision for not just now, but far, far ahead." -Toni
Prophetic Word from BSSM Classmate during in-class Worship - 09/16/13:
- "I see Go peeling back layers of you like skin after a sunburn peeling back layers from the top of your head all the way down to your feet. There are parts of you that are really solid, but there are some small parts that need to be peeled back more than others. I see Him calling you His black marble (like in the game marbles) and He's rolling you in His hands, eagerly anticipating getting to use you. i see Jesus standing in front of you, taking you on a journey of discovery, where you will finally get to meet the real you. He's excited for you to meet the real you, and for you to discover the gifts and abilities He has placed within you that you don't even know are there yet. He's wringing His hands like a child on Christmas morning that can hardly contain Himself as He waits to open presents. He's so excited to partner with you in these new discoveries, to share with you and talk with you about them. And He is excitedly looking forward to you stepping into your true identity and your giftings/abilities in all their fullness." [paraphrase] -Melynne
Prophetic Word from BSSM Classmate at Fall Retreat - 09/24/13:
- "I saw you standing in front of many open doors. Each of these doors had a title written on them: Finances, Relationships, Family, Ministry, etc. Some of the doors said 'Five Years' or 'Ten Years' on them. I got the sense that you were asking God what was going to happen over the next five or ten years as part of your preparation - things you were thinking about like finances, dreams that you had, etc. I felt like God was behind each of them. Jesus was standing behind each of the doors calling you, saying that it was a time to take risk. I could hear God telling you there was no way you could fail in going through those doors. I didn't see you opening them, you wouldn't have to open them, they would open for you once you took the risk to stand in front of them. Sometimes you would hear God calling you in a very clear and loud voice to step up to a particular door. Other times you would only hear Him whisper. Still other times you would just sense which door He was behind, beckoning you. He is setting you up for success in every single one of those areas. I saw so much growth in every single area of your life. I saw you saying to God, 'God, if only I had known this before when I was younger, my life would have been so different.' I saw that in the next two years God was going to make up for it. You were never going to look back and say, 'Oh God, I lost.' I feel like God is going to redeem all those years. He will restore all those years that the locust has eaten (Joel 2:9). You will no longer look back with regret because you will have more than enough. He will bring complete restoration. God says that He enjoys your thinking process because you always include Him. I also hear Him say that he trusts you to declare what you want to see. He will back you up. Heaven is waiting for you to speak. Heaven will back you up! Your words have the power to create!" -Kenia
Prophetic Words from Bethel Prophetic Booths Team Training - 10/06/13:
- "Jared, I smell popcorn and I see a big bowl of just the popcorn kernels, and it's in the microwave heating up, about to reach the point that it's going to start to pop. I feel like this has to do with a lot of the gifts that God has placed inside of you, and I feel like there are so many gifts inside of you that are just waiting to burst open. It's going to just be this catalytic BOOM, all of the popcorn - all of the gifts - just bursting open. I feel like that is the season you're in. Also, I heard 'Jehovah Sneaky', and I just feel like the person you are, you're can be very subtle in the way you minister. You don't have to be that Chris Overstreet evangelist screaming 'Jesus loves you!' over the microphone, preaching the Gospel. You just being yourself, even if you prefer to just sit somewhere, like a coffee place, you just being there brings the presence of God, it brings Jesus. I feel like people are going to encounter Jesus through you in really subtle, almost 'Jehovah Sneaky' kind of ways. Before they've realized anything has happened it will be too late. You won't even have to say the name 'Jesus.' The seed of God's presence will already be sown."
- "I see you as a real pillar, a pillar of strength. You carry a real strength, a real consistency. I feel like you're a really trustworthy person. I feel like God can trust you with things because you're so consistent and faithful. I feel like you're such a faithful person. You've been faithful with the small - the things other people have said doesn't matter, but you knew it mattered to God, which meant it mattered to you. I see such faithfulness on you. I see a real father's heart in you. I feel like you have a real heart to be a pillar that people can turn to. When things are falling down in people's lives, I see you coming in and acting as a pillar, just upholding people where there's brokenness. I also see strategy over you. I feel like there's a supernatural gifting for strategy in you - to know where there's a problem and to be able to come in and solve it. I feel like God is so proud of you. I hear the Father saying, 'that's someone I can be proud of, that's someone that has the father's heart that I can be proud of - he models me so well.'"
Prophetic Word from Bethel Prophetic Booths Team Training - 10/20/13:
- "Keys. I felt like the Lord is saying that He is going to give you pure thoughts, like a pure stream-line of thoughts to Him. Not that your heart hasn't been pure, but He's really just going to help you de-clutter that area. I just keep seeing a liquid flow of gold. That's what your thoughts are going to look like because they're going to bring so much Kingdom, bring so much atmosphere around you. The concept of keys opening up a door, it means you're welcome in that place and have authority in that place. Anywhere you go, you're going to be walking into a place and you're going to be at home, even if you've never been there, because He's going to make His household your foundation, what you carry. You're going to walk in as a son and instantly the atmosphere is going to shift over into the Kingdom of God. His presence will be there and order will come. Peace means alignment, so the alignment of God is going to come into that place because you're coming in so strongly as a son and bringing your inheritance with you. Timing. He's going to help elevate your heart above emotional and time constrictions. That has to do with the purity of thoughts that your heart is going to be above the storm, like the eagles rise above the storm. It's going to have the consistency of knowledge of the goodness of His heart and His intentions toward you."
Prophetic Word from Bethel Staff Member - 10/23/13:
- "Jared, you are a leader of leaders, designed for battle, and vulnerability will be your greatest weapon in this season." -Elizabeth
- "I see a picture of a glacier carving out a mountain valley. There is so much power, yet precision. But glaciers can be painfully slow in human timescales. The force and power is unimaginable - of Biblical proportions! You are a man of power, precision, determination, and you will carve out paths where the terrain has previously been impassable. Hey, and you're as cool as ice." -Jez
Prophetic Word received via E-mail from a Friend - 10/27/13:
- "I believe the Lord is saying that you are a pillar of strength and always have been. You've strengthened others without even realizing it. You're like a lion. Just your presence changes the atmosphere. A lion doesn't need to boast that he's tough, everyone just knows it. Try not to worry or get discouraged that you don't understand [all of] your calling yet. It will make sense in the end, and it will be worth it.The important thing is that you are where the Lord wants you right now. Your calling is very big. Much bigger than you realize, and probably much bigger than you've ever dreamed. It is impossible to out-dream God, and His plans will always be bigger and better for us than our own. You will not be disappointed with His plan. You'll be blown away! Dream bigger. You're a world-changer." -Christina
Prophetic Word from BSSM Classmate during in-class Worship - 11/04/13:
- "You have such a quiet strength. Wherever God plants you will be a place of great influence. In Washington, DC, everyone screams to be heard. But your silence screams even louder and with greater power behind it." [paraphrase]
Word of Exhortation from BSSM Classmate received via Handwritten Note - 11/05/13:
- "Just wanted to honor you for who you are. I don't know you, but God is always highlighting you to me to honor you. You're a great man. You reflect God's kingship well. I felt like God was saying you're a great man, and you're doing a great job. You're a man of greatness and excellence which completely reflects who God is (a God of greatness and excellence). You carry kindness, gentleness and tenderness so well. Yet you carry authority. As an enforcer with the right to command; strength as a source of support carrying the necessary qualities required to handle and deal with stressful or painful situations; and you carry power which, in my opinion, is the capacity to do something, as well as [bring] influence… I will lift you up as a sister and friend, and I will cover you in your time of strength and weakness. You should always be reminded of how amazing you are. Exhortation and praise should not be out of your norm. If no one else reminds you of your greatness, I will. Even if it makes you uncomfortable." -Krystal
Prophetic Word from BSSM Classmate during Sunday Night Service - 11/10/13:
Prophetic Word from Teammate at Prophetic Booths - 11/17/13:
Prophetic Word from BSSM Intern at Home Group - 11/24/13:
- "I feel like God is marking you. You are one of the most passionate guys we have. You are one of those guys that carries a ton that people don't always see. It's beyond what even you can imagine. It's beyond what you can dream up. I feel like this year He's putting connections in place with certain people who are going to come under you and run with you. He's actually setting you up this year for what's coming after Bethel. There are people this year specifically that God is bringing together, and they're going to run after your dreams with you. They're going to run with you after what He's put in your heart, specifically serving your vision - the vision He's giving you." -Emily
Prophetic Word from BSSM Classmate before Class - 11/13/13:
- "I saw your Daddy (God) taking you to a beach and giving you a beach ball to play with. And there was no purpose in it. There was no agenda or purpose other than that God just wanted to have some fun with you. I saw you stepping into so much more of His delight while in a place of rest and a place of play. I feel like it's very connected with who you are. I see the opposite of that to be true in you with the strength and in your intensity and in your focus and in your determination. All of these things. I see God creating these things. I see Him creating greatness, I see Him putting things inside of you. I see Him shaping you to lead so many people. I see such authority that He's given you. I just also feel that 'mother's heart' like for my children, that would actually be really sad if they just stayed in that place. I saw Him just wanting to play with you. And I don't know... if that's something that's very natural for you or not, whether that's something that you can just step into naturally, or whether this is something that you're going to learn to do with the Lord, just to play with Him." -Nicky
Prophetic Word from Teammate at Prophetic Booths - 11/17/13:
- "The Father has such a tenderness toward you. He's saying, 'Yep. That's my son. I love him. I love to hang out with my son. I love to be with my son.' I see Him wanting to show everybody your picture in His wallet and rave about all that you're doing. I also saw a picture of a motorboat, and you were on the boat about to pull the starter cord for the motor. I feel like there's about to be a shift into some movement, movement with some power on it. You won't just be on the water, you're going to be moving with some power. You're going to express revival in your own personal way and out of your own personal giftings. You won't have to look like anyone else. You are actually going to express your time with Father God and His impartation to you, the way He just shares His heart with you, and the way you do it will be so personal. Sometimes it will be private, it will be friendship. I feel like you're this deep well, you're one that attends to the details. That's how your Father trained you to do business and He likes it that way. I feel like there's so much more in store. You've just been laying up and laying up and sowing and laying up. It's just been a season of preparation. You've just been doing a lot of preparation, and you've got the tools. You've been making sure the shop is ready to run. I just feel like the Lord is pleased with that. I see Jesus, He was a carpenter, He was trained by His father. I feel like you've been the Lord's apprentice. You've been doing this one-on-one with Him. It's really like 'Father Heart' and it's been so important to you, this Father-son relationship, this identity of knowing the Father, and it's a Father-and-son business. It's not just a business, it's a family deal, too. I feel like you have this heart. You're a family guy inside. Everything about you. You just have this family heart. It's really important to you. I feel like the Lord has given you that heart, and we just say, 'there's a future and a hope.' All of this is just preparation for you right now - this time here and all that you've put your hand to do. You're going to be so grateful. You're going to be SO grateful. It's like God has been showing you how to do the different workings of the business (like accounts receivable, the bookkeeping, etc.) because all of it is important, and you've just been endeavoring to show integrity. I just bless you with Bill Johnson's exhortation about wisdom having excellence, creativity and integrity. I feel like this has been something - a 3-cord chain - that you've been weaving into your character and into your very soul, so that you will be solid. Solid. You're going to be SOLID. There's going to be a solid structure in you so that you won't be easily tossed around by the storms of falsehood or circumstances. I see A LOT of preparation in you. I bless the substance of the Lord in you, that apprentice-ship with God, that carpenter/builder in you, that strategizer in you. You have hope that you bring everywhere you go. You have blueprints that are like the hope or the anchor of the soul. The words that you give are going to give life. There will be a 'punch' in what you deliver, but it's thought out and it's given with accuracy. God, bless your son Jared. I ask, Lord, that you let him have 'a quiver full.' Let him have people that he can apprentice, that he can cause to grow, even one-on-one's God, bless him with 'a quiver full' in the name of Jesus." -Peggy
Prophetic Word from BSSM Intern at Home Group - 11/24/13:
- "Ephesians 6:10 - Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. I feel the Lord really hearing and blessing the heart of hunger that you have to both grow you in the rooted and grounded intimacy that you and him so desire but also I see you coming into favor to see his mighty power increase in your life. I feel you will experience a new relationship that is going to encourage this fire. He is the 'both / and' God for you. Gift of faith! Be patient with yourself. I also see a pastoral gift really growing in you and the power to bring wholeness." -Blair
Prophetic Word from BSSM Alumnus via Card - 11/26/13:
- "This is a season of extreme and unexpected provision in your life. The Lord is so good all the time, and He has so many great things for you this year. Not one need, dream or desire will go unmet." -Toni
