FOREWORD

I
have known Dano McCollam for more than 14 years. Together we have
trained and equipped thousands of people in both the office of the prophet
and the gift of prophecy. Dano is one of the wisest and most insightful
people I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing. His amazing relationship with
God and his incredible insight into the Word are hallmarks of his life and
ministry. Dano has so assimilated God’s Word into his own life that it has
become cellular in him, like a beautiful celestial union between the message
and the messenger! This gives him the unique ability to take complicated
concepts and make them simple and applicable to everyday life.
Basic Training for Prophetic Activation is the right word in the right season
because this outpouring has inspired an insatiable hunger for the gift of
prophecy among so many believers. The apostle Peter said in the last days
God would pour His Spirit out on all flesh. The predominant manifestation
of this heavy rain is the gift of prophecy being distributed to every person
regardless of his or her age, gender, or social class. The great apostle Paul

put it this way, “earnestly desire spiritual gifts but especially that you would
prophesy.” Prophetic conferences are taking place in record numbers all over
the world. Several new prophetic books are released every month as leaders
around the globe labor to teach and equip Christians in the mists of this
spiritual downpour.
Most conferences, schools, and books teach believers the theological and
philosophical foundations that need to be laid in our hearts so that we can live
a healthy supernatural life. There is very little being taught, however, about
how to practically activate and evaluate the prophetic gift in an individual’s
life.
I love Dano McCollam’s new book Basic Training for Prophetic Activation
because it fills a much-needed void in the practical application of the prophetic
ministry. In this powerful book Dano unearths several simple tools that will
unlock hidden treasures and secret mysteries that have eluded our perception
and reduced our revelation. This book is full of practical insights—the prophetic
nature of a name, how your five senses can be activated by the Holy Spirit to
receive heavenly insight, how to bring people into the Kingdom with the gift of
prophecy, and much more.
Whether you are a brand new believer or a seasoned prophetic warrior, this
book is for you. You will be inspired, encouraged, challenged, and equipped to
join this revolution. It is time to deploy a massive army of radical revivalists
to the darkest places of the planet to bring light and hope to a desperate and
despairing world. Your destiny is in need of you!

INTRODUCTION
G
od has a dream. God dreams of a day when not only would there be
prophets and prophetesses, but every son and daughter on earth would
have the supernatural grace to perceive His heart and His voice in
prophecy. He stated His dream this way:
And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons
and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams,
your young men will see visions (Joel 2:28).
This is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: “In the last days,
God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and
daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old
men will dream dreams” (Acts 2:16-17).
God made His own dream possible by paying the price for sin on the cross

and crucifying the sin nature through Jesus Christ. He not only offered us
His death but also partnership in His resurrection. By ascending to the very
throne of God, Jesus was glorified and sent the Holy Spirit to fill man with the
very same thing that fills God Himself. He initiated stage one of His dream by
pouring out His Spirit on all flesh on the day of Pentecost.1 Now all people—“all
flesh”—can access the heart, the mind, and the intent of God through the
prophetic gift and grace that has been lavishly poured out by the Holy Spirit.
The fact that this dream is still very much alive is best expressed in First
Corinthians.
Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially
the gift of prophecy.
But everyone who prophesies speaks to men for their strengthening,
encouragement and comfort.
I would like every one of you to speak in tongues, but I would rather
have you prophesy (14:1, 3, 5).
The Prophetic Movement Sweeping the Earth
The Azusa Street Revival that began in Los Angeles, California, in 1906
brought the gift of speaking in tongues back into prominent usage in America
and around the world. The Charismatic Movement of the early 1960s to late
1970s awakened this gift across historic mainstream congregations. It seemed
like there were no longer small pockets of revival, but that truly His Spirit was
being poured out on all people.
These Pentecostal and Charismatic movements have had such a
