Is living a prophetic life only for those who are on some higher spiritual plane? Or have we unnecessarily complicated the gifts of the Spirit? If you want to sharpen your focus in the prophetic, then this book will help you to experience fresh Holy Spirit revelation. From the foundation of godly character development, The Nature of the Prophetic will show you how to express your gift with clarity and humility, and how to grow in intimacy with God. As you read this book, you will: · Learn to cultivate spiritual awareness · Discover keys to the delivery and timing of the prophetic · Understand the importance of spiritual gifts in the Church and the wider community · Develop your prophetic gift in alignment with the mind, will and intention of God The Nature of the Prophetic is a practical, easy to read guide which will help you develop your spiritual gifts. Based on James 3:17, the book teaches on the essential qualities needed to live a prophetic life. While this book is focused on the prophetic, the principles and outworking of the nature of the prophetic are relevant for each and every spiritual gift, not just the gift of prophecy. In particular, those gifts that involve giving a ‘word’ (words of wisdom, knowledge, prophecy, encouragement, or discernment) will benefit from the content. The examples and scriptural applications will give you a solid framework for your life and ministry, and the book also makes a great resource for a small group study.

The reappearance of prophetic ministry is one of the most significant and profound awakenings to impact the Church in North America as a result of the 1948 revival known as the "Latter Rain Movement." This Spirit-inspired restoration of the gift of the prophet was an unexpected development for many Christians who had been taught that the gifts of the Spirit, and especially the "sign" gifts, had ceased with the end of the apostolic age. Nevertheless, prophetic ministry quickly took its place as a vital part of Church life, particularly in the areas of personal prophecy and personal activation.In this concise and insightful book, Vishal Jetnarayan defines prophetic ministry as "the revelation of Christ...who...walked perfectly in the nature, character, and mannerisms of His Father." Humans are imperfect and sinful, however, and over time prophetic ministry in the Church became imbalanced, resulting in confusion, offense, and spiritual and emotional wounds among many people. This book addresses that imbalance and seeks to provide a corrective by examining and elucidating the true nature of prophetic ministry and how it is supposed to function in the Church. He stresses that the prophetic is a ministry of spiritual understanding enabled by the Holy Spirit, accessed by obedience to the Holy Spirit, and characterized by love for the people of God.

Using comparative anthropology to get at the social dimensions of prophetic activity, Robert Wilson's study brings the study of Isrealite prophecy to a new level. Looking at both modern societies and Ancient Near Eastern ones, Wilson sketches the nature of prophetic activity, its social location, and its social functions. He then shows how these features appear in Israelite prophecy and sketches a history of prophecy in Israel.

The reappearance of the prophetic ministry is one of the most significant and profound awakenings to impact the Church as a result of the 1948 revival known as the "Latter Rain Movement," which began in North America but quickly spread throughout the world. The Spirit-inspired restoration of the prophetic ministry was an unexpected development for many Christians who had been taught that prophecy, along with the other "sign" gifts of the Spirit, had ceased with the end of the apostolic age. Nevertheless, the prophetic ministry quickly took its place as a vital part of Church life, particularly in the areas of personal prophecy and personal activation. Every move of God in the earth involves people, even though people always taint His move in one way or another. Over time, prophetic ministry in the Church became imbalanced, resulting in confusion, offense, as well. as spiritual and emotional wounds among the people. One reason is that many people who love prophetic ministry never grow to maturity because they never learn to hear God's voice personally, depending instead on hearing His voice through others. In this concise and insightful book, Vishal Jetnarayan defines prophetic ministry as "the revelation of Christ...who...walked perfectly in the nature, character, and mannerisms of His Father." He addresses the imbalances of present prophetic ministry and seeks to present an accurate representation of the Father's intention regarding how we should understand and function in this wonderful and much-needed ministry. He stresses that the prophetic is a ministry of spiritual understanding enabled by the Holy Spirit, accessed by obedience to the Holy Spirit, and characterized by humility and the love of the Father for all people.

The Old Testament prophets spoke to Israel in times of historical and moral crisis. They saw themselves as being a part of a story that God was weaving throughout history--a story of repentance, encouragement, and a coming Messiah. In this updated introductory book, each major and minor prophet and his writing are clustered with the major historical events of their time. Our generational distance from the age of the prophets might seem to be a measureless chasm. Yet we dare not make the mistake of assuming that passing years have rendered irrelevant not only the Old Testament prophets, but also the God who comprehends, spans, and transcends all time. In these pages, C. Hassell Bullock presents a clear picture of some of history's most profound spokesmen--the Old Testament prophets--and the God who shaped them.

What are spiritual gifts? Storms has spent several decades teaching on the topic of the spiritual gifts and equipping believers in the faithful practice of God's gifts. Yet there remains a great deal of confusion about the nature of the gifts and how they best function in the body of Christ. In this comprehensive guide to the spiritual gifts, Storms addresses the many bizarre and misleading interpretations while confronting the tendency to downplay the urgency of spiritual gifts for Christian living and ministry. He explains how spiritual gifts--both the more miraculous and the everyday--are given to build up the body of Christ. God has graciously provided these "manifestations of the Spirit" so that believers might encourage, edify, strengthen, instruct, and console one another, all with a view to an ever-increasing, incremental transformation into the image of Jesus Christ. Throughout this guide, Sam Storms unpacks the glorious truth that there is a supernatural and divine energy or power that fills and indwells the body and soul of every Christian believer. Understanding Spiritual Gifts is useful as a reference to address common questions about the gifts, but it also serves as a training manual for using and exercising the gifts in ministry. It is perfect for any individual or group who wants to grow in their understanding of spiritual gifts for today.
