A few years ago some small devices started to revolutionize the way we drive our cars. Instead of a pile of city, county, state, and country maps that we consult to get from point A to B, many now have a small palm-sized minicomputer sitting in their car. These little navigational computers – or GPS (Global Positioning System) – can calculate, through a connection with a number of geostationary satellites and through triangular methods, the exact position of the GPS device, down to our exact location. Therefore, it becomes possible to navigate to any address or waypoint, no matter whether we are on the move by boat, bike, car, or even on foot.

In this present prophetic-apostolic reformation, the prophetic gift has a similar role as the GPS-Systems for travelers. The current church scene (let alone the economic and political situation) has become a maze, at least for normal folks. It has become increasingly difficult to navigate spiritually, not knowing where we are on our journey, where exactly we are going, and whether we have to turn left or right at the next stop sign. To be on top of all this, we would have to look constantly at a million facts, developments, key players, and statistical developments.

Nobody knows any more what’s going on – but God. And, instead of constantly going after the latest information (for many new ways of navigating are opening up) we are starting to look upward for help. Here we discover what God meant when he said: “I will guide you with my eyes.” God speaks of a navigational system that he is offering to his folks. It has a horizontal and a vertical dimension. The horizontal is the Bible, the unchangeable, revealed word of God that we can read and touch here on earth: "'Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path.” Psalm 119:105" The Bible is the map. The vertical dimension, straight from heaven, are prophetic insights, which may come in various ways: through visions, dreams, dialogs with God, angelic visitations, etc., that accentuate or temporarily lift out biblical truth, announce changes or are the symbolic red dot on the map that says: “You are here. Next left.”
