PAges from my upcoming book

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.
