The Holy Spirit can move in the prophetic realm unhindered by the human condition though the "human" may have difficulty at certain points of the process. What you spoke was indeed a prophecy of the declarative nature. You spoke into the future. You saw something up ahead, grabbed ahold of it and spoke it as a reality. Learn to develop that without rushing into it trying to make it happen.
The video, I enjoyed it. There is something he said toward the beginning about moving in gifts, not possessing them per se. You can move in a gift and seemingly not move in that gift again, but the Lord moved and you yielded. We were not taught that in 1980-85 when the Church was focused on Gifts. We were taught that you had a primary gift, it was yours. Also that only Jesus had all the Gifts and moved in them. Yes, He did, glory to God. One time I said (facebook) as a point of teaching that God has used me in all the Gifts. I was pretty much treated as a heretic. She thought the Gifts were given, they are ours. Of course she was wrong and the Lord tried to use me to lift her to a higher plane of yieldedness and faith. I love moving in the Gifts because Jesus is glorified in them.
Here is another. The Gifts of Healing are often misconstrued. One lady in the church wanted to come in and speak with me. She was in need of healing and we often prayed for her. She is very troubled by demons but will not submit to God. As we spoke on healing she blurts out "how can you get anybody healed when you have diabetes?". Discernment, the distinguishing between spirits went off in me when she said that. I told her that God delights in using me in that Gift because I glorify Jesus in it, this is not about me. Now, if she wanted to repent of her sin (which she rebelled against God in) she could have been healed and set free. She and husband ended up getting a divorce and each shacking up, all the while claiming they were saved. Faith is so critical for our moving in the Gifts but how much moreso our obedience to risk our looking foolish and just yielding to Him.
