The Micaiah Company: A Prophetic Reformation

by Jeremiah Johnson, R. Loren Sandford

It would be difficult to imagine a time when the body of Christ has stood in greater need of reliable, biblically grounded and accurate prophetic ministry. Tragically, we have seen a long list of prophecies go unfulfilled, ranging from personal words to words for the nation and world. Clearly, a prophetic reformation is needed.

I suspect it is a book the average believer is going to love or hate, with very little middle ground. The story of Micaiah in Scripture is that of a lone prophet who stood against 400, all prophesying that Ahab and Jehoshaphat would be victorious in battle. It's found in 1 Kings 22 and it's one of the most difficult passages in the Bible to account for; if it doesn't mess with your modern theological perceptions, then you've probably allowed your theology to colour your understanding of Scripture, rather than the other way around.

The authors recount their experiences in the prophetic movement of today; calling for a reformation of the church's expectation that the primary thrust of prophecy is spontaneous and personal, rather than revelatory and corporate. The deliverance of words of encouragement, void of any call for repentance, has become not just a practice but a mandated rule in many circles. Nothing perceived as negative is allowed.

Based on the dates given in some of the stories told, their call for a 'Micaiah Company' is long overdue.
