Understanding the Prophetic Ministry (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781908293428)

The Prophetic ministry deals mainly with three areas as shown below. Failure to understand these areas and the purpose of prophecy has caused many people to fall into a lot of problems, some have been ship wrecked. I have personally witnessed friends who were given awesome prophesies and they have since died without ever achieving a single one of those prophesies. What do we say then, were the prophesies wrong; not necessarily but there is more to prophesy than just receiving a word. It is this lack of understanding which has cost many so much as they failed to enter into what God had prepared for them. These three aspects also speak of different seasons in one's life, God works through seasons and failure to understand this has caused people to move before God's time in trying to fulfill the prophecy as shown in the life of Abraham and Sarah.

Prophesy can come to you through a human vessel (prophet or someone with a prophetic gift), it can come to you in a dream as shown in the life of Joseph, Daniel or King Nebgadnezer. The main purpose is to INFORM, to CORRECT and to GUIDE. Jer 1:5 "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations". (your past and future)

God had a plan and purpose for your life, as you grow older other things came along and cloud God's plan. The prophetic ministry comes to bring you back to line up with the plan of God for your life by putting right what is wrong and pointing the direction to the way you should follow.
