It’s weird how we have no trouble calling every leader on a church staff “pastor.
But many churches are afraid to call anyone “prophet.”
If the Body of Christ wants to effectively rise up and influence the course of history, we must first understand the epoch season in which we live — with insight into what is God saying, and how our Father is moving, so that we may move with Him.
In order for the office of the prophet and prophetess to be fully restored to society and to the church, we need wise leaders who can develop a process that prepares them for the challenges that lie ahead.
If you think you may be called to be a prophet — to the church or in another sphere of influence — or if you’re a leader who wants to operate synergistically with the prophets around you, check out this interview and let me know your thoughts in the comments!
1. Q: TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF, YOUR PASSIONS AND YOUR MINISTRY.
One real encounter with God changes everything!
2. Q: WE STARTED THE SCHOOL OF THE PROPHETS YEARS AGO. TELL ME WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO START THIS SCHOOL?
A: It’s weird how we have no trouble calling every leader on a church staff “pastor.” In most cultures that would be true whether the person has a pastoral gift or not.
I believe it is time for the church to acknowledge it’s prophetic foundation and embrace the role and office of prophet.
3. Q: HOW DID YOU RECEIVE YOUR CALL TO BE A PROPHET?
To be honest, I didn’t believe you at first.
4. Q: WHAT WERE SOME OF YOUR STRUGGLES WHEN YOU FIRST RECEIVED YOUR CALL? HOW DID YOU WORK THROUGH THEM?
My wrong idea that all prophets looked the same kept me from recognizing my own role as a prophet.
I believe that the best way to learn prophecy is by prophesying.
5. Q: WHAT WAS THE PROCESS LIKE (AND HOW LONG WAS IT) FROM GETTING YOUR CALL TO ACTUALLY STEP INTO IT?
6. Q: IF THERE WAS ONE THING YOU COULD TELL YOUR YOUNGER SELF ABOUT THE PROPHETIC, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
David didn’t need a throne to act like a king. Step into your God-given authority.
7. Q: HOW DOES COMMUNITY PLAY INTO YOU OPERATING AS A PROPHET?
DO YOU HAVE ANY PERSONAL STORIES THAT SPEAK TO THIS?
Prophetic community should not be made of just prophets, we need the whole body.
No matter how many heavenly experiences someone has, it has to come back to a practical expression of love within a community. Other people see things too. Never discount that. You need their piece as much as they need yours.
8. Q: WHAT DO YOU FEEL GOD IS DOING ON THE EARTH AT THIS TIME?
We are seeing the advance of the prophetic as a life skill, not just a ministry skill
9. Q: WHAT DO YOU FEEL GOD WANTS TO DO AT THE SCHOOL OF THE PROPHETS THIS YEAR(2019) ?ANY PROPHETIC INKLINGS OR WORDS?
School of the Prophets
is not just about the teaching content, though that is amazing; it’s about connections.
This is a season of prophets gathering in prophetic companies to establish a synergy that accelerates all of our experience and impact to another level.
10. Q: ANYTHING ELSE YOU’D LIKE TO SHARE?
We can accelerate everyone’s journey through shared knowledge and impartation.
