Why another book on the prophetic ministry? I’ve read many books on the prophetic over the Years Some focus on the various biblical catogories of prophets and the supernatural manifestaion that occure through them.Other focus on how to prophecy and then what to do with prophetic words.
This book touches on those subjects, but it also frankly discusses the joy and the pain of prophetic people in a local church context. I relate the perils, perplexities,and tensions involved in nurturing prophetic people among nonprophetic people.When Holy Spirit activity happens among weak people like us, the clash between selfish ambition and lack of wisdom is inevitable. Many tensions arise.
Plus,we encounter Holy Spirit experiences that are foreign to us. All this makes for a challenging experience in our church life.
