Prophetic Ministry

Having come into a relationship with Father God through Jesus Christ we have the privilege of communing with God and being able to hear what God is saying about a certain situation or even what he would like to say to a certain person. It is important to us that in an age where counterfeit messages are being received from the kingdom of darkness through means such as horoscopes, clairvoyancy and spiritism, that people are given the opportunity to hear from the one true living God.

 

God is speaking to everyone, frequently through their dreams, however without relationship and understanding of His ways and his word people will be unable to provide a helpful and correct interpretation, this is where prophetic ministry will be able to help an individual find the heart of God for themselves and their lives.

 

Our prophetic ministers speak words of encouragement, edification, comfort and strength in the spirit of 1 Corinthians 14:1 and 3: “Pursue love and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy … He who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men.” We sincerely desire to hear from the Lord on behalf of those coming for ministry so that they may be encouraged and built up in their faith.

 

The prophetic ministers do not operate in the office of a prophet, but rather have learned to move in the gift of prophecy, knowing and prophesying in part (I Cor. 13:9). The prophetic ministers’ responsibility is to listen to the Holy Spirit and accurately speak what they hear; the recipients’ responsibility is to judge their words according to the Word of God. “Do not despise prophecies. Test all things; hold fast to what is good” (I Thes. 5:20–21).

 

We do not give strong directional words, nor are we looking for darkness or sin in people’s lives. We suggest that recipients not make major decisions based on one prophetic word, but rather pray for divine confirmation of what is spoken and discard anything to which the Holy Spirit does not bear witness.
