We find that this is a great first activation for getting people moving in words of knowledge and even beginning to prophesy. It is designed to force people to get started with something, which is often the majority of the battle. Once you give it a shot God is more than willing to meet you halfway (or less)!

You’ll partner the students up in groups of 10-20, then each group breaks into two lines that face each other. One line will be the talking line, the other the listening line. For one minute the talking line will look at the person across from them in the listening line and share with them:

What comes to mind when they look at them.
Keep it to positive thoughts. Positive thoughts are constructive.
Don’t worry if you start with natural thoughts, often you start in the natural and transition to hearing from God during the exercise.

After one minute of talking, the partner in the listening line will share a few seconds of feedback with their partner who just talked to them. This is to help people recognize what they heard was possibly from God.

You’ll repeat this whole cycle a number of times, each time rotating one of the lines so that people wind up with new partners. I find that until the fourth or fifth time many of the students are still warming up. Eventually you’ll have the two lines switch roles (the talkers becomes listeners and vice-a-versa) so that everyone practices both roles.

We find this is a great first activation to get people moving in revelatory gifts. Students will benefit from doing it a number of times as well, you may consider doing it briefly a number of weeks in a row. It can also be a great warm up activity before you go out to hit the streets – it helps the students get in the groove of hearing from God quickly.
