Early this morning, Holy Spirit awakened me and began speaking about specific types of prophets that are going to arise. He called them “Prophetic Specialists.” 
These "prophetic specialists" will be trained in the School of the Holy Spirit to carry anointings and words of knowledge unique to specific or unusual situations. They will be so accurate in their giftings that the words of truth they deliver will be considered signs and wonders in themselves! The Spirit took me to the book of Ezekiel 40-42, where a description of the unbuilt (likely millennial) temple includes measurements of gateways, the altar, and city and governmental boundaries in highly specific, mathematical dimensions. This, Holy Spirit said, indicated the degree of specificity that the Lord intends to release through a new class of prophets. The Lord will respond to the enemy’s heightened attacks and demonic expansion with increased signs and wonders from heaven. Detailed words of knowledge and specific prophecies will help minimize hindrances as the Bride of Christ moves toward her desired goals and objectives. PROPHETS WHO ESTABLISH BOUNDARIESI heard the Lord say: “Prophets are meant to set the boundaries.” The Lord is incredibly specific about what He prophesies. In partnership with Holy Spirit, God means for prophets to set boundaries that bring protection to His people. Once these heavenly parameters (or “blueprints”) are seen and defined, apostles along with the rest of the Body can begin to ‘build according to spec.’ Whether taken literally or as a symbolic “blueprint” for believers’ hearts, Ezekiel’s temple is one such example. GOD’S “SCOPE OF WORK”I was next told to study the phrase “scope of work.” I began to study prophecy as it connected to scopes of work (project boundaries) in business. The similarities were striking. In the marketplace, a ‘scope of work’ defines the parameters for a given project. It describes needs, goals, objectives, limitations, resources, and timelines. A scope of work is an action plan communicated by a project manager to those who will put the plan into action. As with covenantal prophetic promises, each party to a ‘scope of work’ statement has a part to play in the accomplishment of specific objectives. Spiritually, God communicates detailed words concerning aspects of an individual’s life through His prophets. The recipients of a prophecy then know how to move forward towards this defined objective set by the Lord. Just as in the marketplace, resources, limitations, and even timetables may be included in a prophetic scope of work, helping believers to focus on their individual roles and callings as they build God’s Kingdom. Holy Spirit, of course, becomes the divine “Project Manager.” BUILDING TO ‘SPEC’As the Lord continued to speak to me, I saw that incredibly specific words will come out of the mouths of these anointed prophets. Times, dates, and details will be sharp and clear in the Spirit as these messengers of God's heart come into the place of His counsel. God is releasing a strong anointing for clarity, precision, and accuracy. That precision itself will be a sign and a wonder to the world, which is walking deeper and deeper into confusion. Matthew 16:18 says that Christ builds His church on this "Rock" of revealed knowledge: 
Revelation-based churches are going to arise en masse as people continue to leave traditional denominationalism en masse. Holy Spirit will meet the need for fellowship, in part, by raising up new apostolic-prophetic centers and providing foundational resources for guidance and protection. As I contemplated these things, especially the idea of prophetic accuracy never seen before, the Lord stated: “You can take this to the bank!” I asked the Lord to clarify exactly what He meant. In response, He brought to mind Jehoshaphat’s words to Israel in 2 Chronicles 20:20. Before going into battle with Moab, Ammon, and Mount Seir, the king said: “Believe in the Lord your God, and you will be established. Believe His prophets; so shall you prosper.” As in many biblical stories of victory in battle, faith in the revealed words of Christ will set parameters and establish protection for the Body moving forward. Honoring the prophecies spoken over your life is one key to financial prosperity and protection in times of economic depression! We are moving from a time when general words and overarching principles will no longer be sufficient for guidance. Highly specific instructions will be needed for believers to live successfully in an end-time corrupt world. PROPHETIC "MASTER'S DEGREES"The new breed of prophets God is raising up will be specialists; not generalists. Instead of being a “jack of all trades and master of none,” they will be considered masters in their areas of expertise. They will walk in high levels of sharp discernment and accurate perception. These prophets will be given ‘Master's degrees’ in the School of the Spirit. This will cause them to be sought after for their specialized knowledge in various aspects of the Kingdom of God. These ‘specialists’ will wage war not at ground level, but from higher places of supernatural wisdom and perspective in the Spirit. Their strategies will be no match for the enemy! PROPHETS WHO OUTWIT AND OUTPERFORMThose who receive this specialized prophetic training from the Lord will outwit and outperform their demonic counterparts. Like Daniel and his friends, they will be tried, tested, and approved as sons of excellence; inspired by God; flawless in their integrity. 
The only use of the word “specify” in the Bible occurs in the book of Daniel. It mentions the king's specifications concerning the timing of Daniel and his friends’ presentation at court. While there is no word for “specialists,” the Bible does speak of “experts” in religious law along with “skilled” artisans and craftsmen like Bezalel. (See Luke 11:45 & Exodus 36-39.) Notice, however, that Daniel 8:24 says in the end times, Satan will raise up skilled specialists. A king will arise, he says, who is “skilled in intrigue:” 
While historically this refers to Antiochus Epiphanes and his brutality, symbolically this speaks of the Antichrist, full of deception. Yet wisdom, too, is shrewd, and disciplined sons of God who walk in skilled wisdom will outperform those who are skilled in intrigue. In a time of unbridled deceit, the truth will become a sign and a wonder. A VISION OF PROPHETS ARISINGHoly Spirit brought me into a time of intercession, contending for these next-generation prophets to be brought forth. God is now calling them into the School of the Holy Spirit! As I interceded, I saw a vision of these “prophetic specialists” emerging in various places in the coming days. They were arising here and there in various places as if in a continuous, timely stream governed by the Lord. Their arising happened in response to increased witchcraft and divination in the nation. I saw that God would use these prophets to set and establish boundaries for His people, protecting holy ones from turning to sorcery and divination as they deciphered their future. Their wisdom would be greatly needed. I saw these prophets being raised up out of the ground in slow motion, as if through time-lapse photography. I saw that one prophet would rise up and then recede into the background as another rose up nearby, in a different location. As a second prophet rose and then faded from view, a third prophet would stand up for a time, and so on. All these were in the same approximate region, yet none stood in the same place as another. In order to follow the prophets, God’s people would need to be on the alert, watching to see where the voice of the Lord was arising next. Although I did not have a sense of the timing of their rise and release, it seemed in the vision that there would never be a time when there was not a prophet; as soon as one prophet began to fade into the background, another appeared. Deuteronomy 18:15,18 NASBS - “The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your countrymen, you shall listen to him.” …l will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their fellow Israelites, and I will put my words in his mouth. He will tell them everything I command him." Each of these prophets wore black (illustrating their call to grieve for the sins of the nation), and each stood straight as a rod, indicating right alignment and a “true" measure. They were meant to be “signposts” or markers for the Body of Christ. To move toward their various locations was also to be redirected away from hidden “minefields” on the land: potentially explosive situations that could damage the Lord’s beloved people. I believe the Lord is responding to the enemy's heightened attacks at this time with increased signs and wonders, detailed words of knowledge, and timely prophecies that will help the Body of Christ move toward God’s desired goals and objectives. I believe prophetic voices will become more accurate and specific now than ever before in history. As the enemy’s deception increases, so the voice of the Lord will become more succinct for all those who choose to listen! Deborah
