The Prophetic Ministry

by Rick Joyner

What is prophecy? Who is to prophesy? Is it right to seek prophecy? Since we have the Bible for guidance, do we really need prophecy today? How do the prophetic gifts and ministries function in the local church? Why do we need prophets if all of God’s people are able to hear His voice? Can a true prophet miss a prediction? How can we recognize counterfeit gifts of the Spirit? These are just a few of the common questions being asked in the church today. If the church does not provide Biblical answers, we can be sure the vacuum created by ignorance will be filled with deceptions. If you refuse to settle for less than all God has you… If you won’t be intimidated by those who claim that God doesn’t still speak today… This book will answer your questions and challenge you to know God and hear from Him as you never have before!

"If the prophet does not have the fruit of the Spirit, we have a right, and even a responsibility to reject their message." ~ Rick Joyner, The Prophetic Ministry, Page 194, Paragraph 1

The edition of this book I read was dated 1997, so I am sure it has been updated by now. The truth is that God's Word never grows dated. It is the same today, yesterday and forever.

Rick Joyner shares his prophetic experiences throughout this work. He gives guidance on operating in this gift and office today.

The thing I learned and liked the most of this book was the teaching about how if you are a prophet, you don't have to be like a prophet of the old testament, pronouncing judgement on the people. If we are to operate in the gift of prophecy or have the office of the prophet, then we should be operating in the fruit of the Spirit and especially we should be using the gift with the fruit of love. I think every prophet and prophecy should "speak the truth in love." (See Ephesian 4:15)

"Follow the way of love and eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy." (Ephesians 14:1)

Praise

I love the book and it was good reading. It is also good instructions for beginners in the prophecy realm. He teaches you how to discern your visions and learn how to tell if it's from the Lord, Satan, or yourself.

Great book to understand the prophetic ministry

There are so misunderstandings about The prophetic ministry, but this book is an outstanding tool to understand how the prophetic works.

[Emmanuel · Rating 5 out of 5]

great insights about the prophetic in general

The author haa definitely more to say than he wrote but the teachings in this book are valuable.

The prophetic comes from the holy spirit and whoever is a true prophet will reflect the fruit of the spirit.
