Over 8 years ago I received a prophetic word from a couple that is engaged in full-time prophetic ministry (they travel the country doing it). I was invited to a friend's house where the couple would be staying, along with a number of other mutual friends. This couple knew none of us before that evening, except for the hostess.
My friend simply gave this couple our names in advance so they could pray over us by name before the meeting. Then they went around the room and spoke over us one-by-one (and recorded what they said). The prophetic exchanges were between 5 and 10 minutes each. I still have my recording.
When they had finished with everybody but me, the husband thanked everyone for being there and basically began to wrap up the evening...and everyone looked at me and pointed, and he looked puzzled and asked the hostess if she had submitted my name in advance. She said she had. Then he thought for a moment, started his recording device, and asked if they could prophesy over me. Of course I said yes.
The prophetic words they spoke did not address my sins or any demons or bondages. They did, however, use words that I only use in my prayer life with God.
I struggled with depression for most of my life. I'm not talking about the situational, I've-had-a-bad-day type of depression either. Anyone who has struggled with an abiding sense of depression knows what I'm talking about...it follows you and torments you no matter how good your life may be. I realized within a few months afterwards that the abiding sense of depression had left me. Nothing in their prophecy directly addressed depression. They simply spoke the words they were given, and the depression left.
Also, I struggled with pornography for some years until that day. I tried the legalistic stuff such as cutting off internet access, forcing myself to read the Bible more, everything that people typically advise you to do (along with getting an accountability partner) when dealing with that particular temptation. Nothing ever really worked. I would go through phases where I wouldn't look at it, but the temptation was present on a fairly regular basis...and when I would give in, I would battle day and night for at least a week to not indulge the temptation again. But within a few weeks of their prophesy (which did not address this issue at all), I realized that I didn't have any desire to look at porn. It was as if someone had flipped a switch inside of me. The desire was gone, and in the 8 years since then I have not looked at porn even once. The last time I looked at it was a week before that day. The thought of looking at that stuff is utterly profane and disgusting to me now, and this feeling of disgust is like a permanent shroud over me that keeps all temptation away. It's the sort of thing I had always prayed for and hoped God would do for me!
I don't know if anyone has ever said they experienced deliverance as a result of being prophesied over, but I believe I experienced it!
One caveat that may matter: when it was her turn to speak to me, the wife at one point uttered a few words in a strange tongue, mid-sentence, and then finished her original thought in English. Perhaps this tongue she spoke were words of deliverance, commanding demons to leave me? I don't know. Nobody offered an interpretation, and I didn't manifest in any discernible way after she said it.
