The controversy over prophetic ministry is nothing new. In fact,
the early Church, in order to keep the gift of prophecy from being
recklessly used, employed a means of testing and confirming
prophetic words. Prophecy was not a gift and ministry that happened
independently from the community of believers working together.
According to the Apostle Paul’s teachings, prophecy is the most
vital spiritual gift, so the modern Church needs to get
reacquainted with this reality and come together in a commitment to
reel in sloppy prophetic ministry. One of the main reasons we have
a problem today in prophetic ministry is due to the fact that we
fail to distinguish the differences between Old Testament prophets
and the New Testament gift of prophecy. If we can understand these
important differences, we can adjust how we release and receive
prophetic words.
In this episode, Jeff walks us through the unhealthy results that
occur when unaccountable Christians operate with a “Thus saint
the Lord...” mentality as they carelessly release prophetic
words. Sloppiness is neither a gift nor fruit of the Holy Spirit.
It is important to God that we constantly operate in partnership
with Him when engaging in prophetic ministry. May those who listen
to this episode come into agreement that Holy Spirit is offering us
all a better way to flow in the gift of prophecy.
