A Word Concerning the Prophets!
It’s time!
We must understand that the primary role of Prophets is not to predict outcomes — but rather The Will, Intention and Heart of God in a matter!
The role of Prophets has been pigeon-holed into some type of “new-age soothsayer” or psychic, which has caused horrific damage to The Body and to the credibility of true Prophetic Ministry!
The Prophets’ role in The Body is to bring Vision, Revelation and Understanding of The Heart of God and of the Times and Seasons.
Outcomes are determined by the obedience of the people to God’s Will and to His Instructions.
We must stop looking to Prophets as “fortunetellers” who must predict outcomes, when Prophets are called to Proclaim the Will and Intention of The Father’s Heart!
If ….. My People will humble themselves and pray… and turn from their wicked way… I will heal their land! (2 Chronicles 7:14)
Obedience determines outcomes — not Prophets!
True Prophets bring forth Divine Alignment through revelation of God’s Will.
The true test of a Prophet is not necessarily how accurately they can predict future events, but rather how boldly and faithfully they speak God’s Truth and call people to the place of True Repentance and Obedience!
And — it is time for the Prophets to begin to resist the pressure to perform, because it makes them popular, it massages their egos, and it elevates them above others.
Prophets must guard against becoming puppets on the strings of those that have an addiction to prediction — and no intimacy with God.
Prophets must stop pimping their Prophetic Words to the highest bidders, and start seeking after purity of heart, and take positions of humility and total submission to God above all else!
True Prophetic Voices will bring forth pure Prophetic Words that are not contaminated with the works of the flesh, which brings death in the pot.
True Prophets have broken and contrite hearts and do not seek fame, name or claim.
They are not tempted to dance to the tune of the popular vote, or the pressure of men.
True Prophets know that the power they have been entrusted with is not for sale and cannot be bought — at any price!
It is time for The Body of Christ to truly recognize and honor the purpose and function of Prophets, and to seek God’s Will and Direction above all else.
Let us turn our hearts toward God, listen to His Voice through His Prophets — and walk in Obedience and Faith.
Blessings to you all.
