Who
are these people anyway?
Chapter
ONE
The Office
of the Prophet is a highly misunderstood and misrepresented function in the
body of believers. The Prophet’s job is never fully realized until there is the
true need for the Office.
The Prophet’s
job aligns with the Government of God himself. The Prophet does not align
himself with man or manmade rules and agendas. (We are not talking about disobeying
civil laws of the land unless they are crossing over God’s laws.) The
Government of God is most often brushed aside and not believed. Yeshua came to
save us from the punishment from sin and teach us how to walk out the whole
word of God in Love. We have lost sight of being aligned with the true
Government of God.
The Prophet
is usually not wanted, welcomed or received by a large majority of people. You
would never recognize one until they come into their fullness. They are as a person, ignored, most often
ridiculed and not seen as important to anyone. More importantly, they will
never tell you they are a prophet.
Their
Saga
Prophets
are spiritually war torn and not understandable because they are spiritually
advanced a good 50 years ahead of the general population of believers. Quite
honestly no one is on the same plane of conversation with them for
understanding their relationship with God.
The experiences are not the same as others therefore they
often have no one to relate to or with. In their growing process they often
outgrow friends and tend to look isolated from others. The relationship they
have with God even appears to others as they have an exclusive relationship
with God. It may seem like others need not apply to the relationship they have
with God.
Prophets
do not look right, dress funny, are stand offish and often are quiet. Even
though they are the mouth piece for God, they wait for the appointed times to
speak. They are mocked, glossed over, ignored and placated. God has to be the strength to hold them together
to help them to continue on. The other
dilemmas they often face are the following: cut off by people from needed
resources for their development (which God always has a way around), walked
over, looked over, trampled on, betrayed, gone around, starved out, shouted
out, abused, used, misused, parlayed, relayed, portrayed, navigated, pushed
over the top of, minced, diced, sliced, dried out, burnt, cried out, boiled and
steamed.
The usage
of all of the above mention scenarios will bring the Prophet to his personal
death. The death of any and all of themselves. They have willingly gone through
the process of this to be used for the perfect will of God. The pain they
experience is often excruciating that applies to all areas of their life. When
they go through this baptism of fire they can truly speak out the heart of God.
Their entire life revolves around God and seems
extreme to fellow believers.
The object of their dying to self is to represent God
properly. God has been misrepresented for a very long time and we will now
start to see the course correction for the foundation of God’s government.
