- Hi, my name's Julian Adams. I wanted to give you my top five tips for developing a healthy prophetic culture. So, I got to pastor a local church in Cape Town for over seven years as a social pastor and we would have loads of people coming in and out, amazingly gift ministries, prophetic people, and prophets coming in and out. And one of the things I had to learn was how to pick up the pieces when prophets who had not developed an internal core system that valued the church, that valued people well, but were in it for the honorary and were in it for the publicity. Maybe not even as deeply sinister as that but just unwise in their own internal world. I had to pick up those pieces and come to people when destiny words were not fulfilled, when brokenness was a trail that was left. And one of the things that I've learnt is to hone my internal culture, so that I get to to be a blessing to the maximum amount of people and reflect Jesus well to the world around me. The first tip that I want to communicate is around discovering a deep love for Jesus. I know that sounds obvious but as a prophet who has an emergent prophetic course, you need to learn how to love Jesus. Not only learn to love Jesus but you have to learn to love your church. The church is the most beautiful thing that God has fashioned together for Jesus and Jesus wants to come back for his bride, and I see often that prophetic ministries love Jesus but struggle with the church. The second top tip I want to communicate is simply understanding that everything we do must flow from the place of humility and servant heartedness. We've got to be a people as prophetic ministries who go low and who go slow. Who learn to stop for the one in front of us and serve them with the prophetic. It's most often what we do in the hidden place with honoring instilled in the prophetic that gives us opportunity and platform in the public space. My third topic point is learning to discover a love for scripture. We have got to be a people who learn to wrestle with the text of scripture, who learn to give ourselves to understand scripture, because all of scripture the bible says speaks of Jesus. It reveals who Jesus is and when we get to discover the prophet Jesus in scripture, when we get to discover how the bible reveals Jesus as the perfect representation of the father, our prophesied will be better. It will be deeper and it will fill out in more ways to discover and unlock people's destiny in this way. My fourth top point or top tip for the prophetic is learning to walk in a place of submitted accountability to people around us, not only to our friends but to ministries around us. We need to be people who learn to live in a place where ministries speak well of us. Where people around us, we're in deep relationship with them, with leaders. An accountable relationships that get to shape our prophetic gift, that get to shape who we are and who speak well of us. It is so important that we have a level of integrity that is reflected by other recognized ministries recognizing who we are as prophetic voices and emergent prophetic voices. My fifth point is very simply learning to walk in emotional health. That is so important that as prophets we get emotionally healthy. We deal with our junk, we get rid of the stuff that has caused rejection and pain in our lives. We process that with people and it is important for the sake of revealing who Jesus is to walk in incredible emotional health for the sake of our families, for the sake of legacy, and for the sake of those around us. We want to represent Jesus well and so how we deal with our integrity personally, with out finances, with the purity that we walk in all reflect something of Jesus. If you want to learn more about how you can develop your prophetic gift, I want to encourage you to get my e-course amplified which will help define and refine your prophetic gift.

It all Starts with What You See

By Julian Adams • June 19, 2025

If you want to grow in the prophetic, it doesn’t begin with what you say. It begins with what you see. The prophetic is rooted in perception. Not just natural insight, but spiritual awareness—what Scripture calls “the eyes of your heart.” Paul prayed that the church in Ephesus would have their hearts enlightened so they could truly see what God was doing. “I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which He has called you…” (Ephesians 1:18) God isn’t distant or withholding. But if we’re going to hear Him clearly, we have to see differently. We need Heaven’s perspective. And that means learning to quiet the noise, tune into His voice, and let Him train our inner vision. You don’t need to wait for a dramatic vision or audible voice. Often, God speaks through a nudge. A mental picture. A scripture that lingers. A sense of burden or joy that feels holy. These are the first signs that your spiritual eyesight is awakening. But it takes time. It takes attention. It takes trust. Just like physical muscles grow with use, your spiritual senses grow as you spend time with Him—not just talking, but listening. Not just asking for answers, but asking for His perspective. You were never meant to live according to what the world says is true. You were meant to live by every word that flows from the mouth of God. A Prayer for This Week: “Lord, open the eyes of my heart. Teach me to see what You see—not just in others, but in myself, in my circumstances, in the world around me. Give me clarity and confidence to trust Your perspective more than my own. Amen.” This week, pay attention to what you notice. The way you see is often the way He speaks.

Your Story Matters: Here's Why

By Julian Adams • January 3, 2025

We are living in a world of dramatic change. The relentless pace of development often leaves us breathless and exhausted. The demand for innovative ways of communicating, inventing, and staying ahead of cultural trends can feel daunting and demoralizing. It can push us into a space where we find ourselves trying to copy rather than be authentic, to imitate rather than create. This pressure can lead us to believe that we need to be more creative, and that our individual stories do not matter. But nothing could be further from the truth. Your story, no matter how small, matters and is powerful. One of the remarkable aspects of ancient manuscripts, like the Bible, is that they tell the stories of individuals whose lives may seem small and insignificant. Yet, God chose to make their lives a memorial of what He could do with a life that the world deems insignificant. The incredible power of the gospel is that it changes lives one at a time. God is as interested in the individual story as He is in redeeming the cosmos. The aim of the gospel is not just dealing with personal sin; it is about restoring individuals to a relationship with a kind Father. In his book Mere Christianity, C.S. Lewis beautifully said, "The Son of God became a man to enable men to become sons of God." Justification addresses our standing before God, but our adoption invites us into a relationship with the Father. It allows us to partake of who He is and to live in a place of deep joy from who He is. Romans 3:23 reminds us that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Many of us forget that the work of salvation has turned this verse around. Through Jesus, we have been restored to the glory of God. One description of the word "glory" refers to the divine quality, the unspoken manifestation of God, and splendor. It is the revelation of God's intrinsic worth and beauty. Do you see that? We have been restored to His divine quality, splendor, and beauty. In a world where it can be easy to feel like just another face in the crowd, remember that your story is significant. Your experiences, your journey, and your voice matter. Embrace the unique narrative God has given you and let it shine. You are not just a spectator; you are a vital participant in God's grand story. Your authenticity, creativity, and individuality are valuable. As you navigate the rapid changes of our world, hold on to the truth that your story has power and purpose. God sees you, knows you, and has a plan for your life that is uniquely yours. Let us celebrate the beauty and significance of each individual story, knowing that together, we contribute to a tapestry of divine splendor and glory.
