listen to everything from art katz,

Wow thank you.
:-)

I am not negating the recommendations that have been made. I am sure they will be beneficial but I was just listening to a Katz sermon on the way home today and he was saying if an apostolic or prophetic calling was the real thing you didn't need to do anything because in a man's own striving to fulfill it he would in a sense disqualify himself. Of course I can't express it like Katz can but I am sure if the meaning is not clear in this post it will be after listening to all of those sermons listed by ChristisKing.
How were the OT prophets prepared to walk out the anointing on their lives?
In Christ

Prophetic ministry is not something you are trained for, it is a way of life.

Hi everyone. This is certainly something I am not qualified to make declarations about and I could well be wrong about this, and it may not even be related to what is exaclty being discussed, but isn't there a sense in which God Himself is training and preparing us all, in whatever ministry we are to serve in?

Why, I think of Moses and all those years he spent tending Jethro's flock and wonder if God was not preparing him all that time? What happened in all that time between when at the first he slew the Egyptian and his being called the meekest on earth?

Or how about Abraham, who was also a prophet, and did not God deal with him also? Even he, being the father of the faith had also to learn of faith himself?

Well, a short while back I happened across this passage and I thought it might be helpfull too for us to consider. In this passage, Paul the Apostle instructs his son in the faith, Timothy, concerning the gift that was imparted to him and he says...

[i]Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.[/i]

When I noticed this I looked at it a bit closer, especially that phrase at the end [i]that thy profiting may appear to all[/i]

That sounds kind of strange I thought, what does that mean? And so I compared it with other translations; here's what they say:

-- American Standard
1 Timothy 4:15 Be diligent in these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy progress may be manifest unto all.

-- Living Bible
1 Timothy 4:15 Put these abilities to work; throw yourself into your tasks so that everyone may notice your improvement and progress.

-- Revised Standard
1 Timothy 4:15 Practice these duties, devote yourself to them, so that all may see your progress.

-- Simple English
1 Timothy 4:15 Care about these things. Stay with them, so that your progress will be clear to everyone.

Well, I thought that was interesting anyway. Like I said, it may not even be what is being discussed exactly but I thought it might be good to consider. Thanks.

This is so true, but how do you think Art knew this? It's in the disqualifying of oneself in zeal that we die. We die a thousand deaths until we never want to open our mouths again, then, God speaks.
Anyone with the call to the prophet will eventually realize this truth which Jesus spoke: "They hated me. They will hate you, too." I can't remember who said this, but it's so true. I think it might be Keith Daniel. "There's only two safe places for God's man, heaven or the dust." I probably didn't quote it exactly as it should be, but it's close enough. I bet Greg Gordon can give us an exact quote.

My point is, the prophetic call is a call to death. Just get busy dying, Brother. Read all you can about laying down your life. Visit www.authenticchristianity.net

Brother,

I'd be interested to know how you came to this conclusion (not to either agree nor deny your claim). The prophetic calling is a burdensome thing, and the liberty of the calling comes through becoming intimate with suffering.

Each of these sermons that have been presented will be greatly beneficial, but realise that you are about to learn a lot about yourself, and the Body of Christ that you'll wish that you could be ignorant of. The prophet's reward is Christ only, with no assurance of sustenance and recompense in this life. Leonard Ravenhill wisely said that the prophet "suffers for the people, with the people, and by the people."

The best way to "learn" to be a prophet, is to learn to be a disciple. Learn all that Christ said of becoming and being Hid disciple. Be a disciple first and foremost, and if God would have you be a prophet, then you will not be able to help but be one.

God bless you in your pursuit of Him.

Amen and amen and amen! A disciple is somebody committed to following Jesus into the tomb. And the heart of all ministry, including prophetic, is to as somebody said earlier, die a thousand deaths. It's a horrible thing to see somebody performing a ministry who has not died to self. For such they are truly doing then, simply "performing."

Yesterday at church I gave a prophetic word that was less than pleasant to give. The word was something like, "I wasn't playing games 2000 years ago when I died on the cross, yet some of you here are playing games today. Why will you play a game? There is no profit in it..." One has to truly be dead in order to give such a word. For you will get very few amen's and very few pats on the back for such a word. Very few men will be willing to "confirm" your call when you give such a word. But such a word can only be given if you are dead to self and focused on following Christ, and speaking what Christ would say if He were here to say it Himself. For such is the true heart of the prophetic ministry.

Thank you.

The question I oftentimes ask myself, am I small enough to be used by God? He is faithful to do the shrinking and it's not pretty or pain-free but Jesus is faithful to do it.
