The Essence of Prophetic Ministry: Beyond Wonders, Centering on Christ

The Public Perception of the Prophetic Ministry
The image that many present for the prophetic ministry has often been embellished and enhanced, much like a spin doctor's job. A continuous stream of signs and wonders, healings, miracles, angels, portals, visions and dreams are frequently showcased to depict the norm.
Fortunately, it seems that things are starting to shift in this area as stories emerge illustrating that these phenomena are becoming commonplace.
Living an inherently supernatural life is undoubtedly worth more than any price one could pay. However, does this define what the prophetic ministry is truly about?
In Joel's instruction to his servant regarding the wonders of imping events Joel 2, he also alluded to significant repercussions and consequences that would be a result of such outpourings.
Consider these elements: An extravagant outpouring of God’s Spirit in the last daysexpected to affect, influence, stir men and women across age groups, social statuses and economic classes. This outpouring includes dreams and visions, signs and wonders, with profound ramifications being that everyone who calls upon the Name of the Lord would be saved.
The heart of the prophetic ministry lies deeply in this message: The gospel is what matters most. We should be hearing its teachings regularly. Reflect on iteveryone has sinned agnst God. But there's hope; Christ pd for our sins, atoning for all, imputing His matchless righteousness and holiness to us as a gift.
I believe that God desires the Cross of Christ to be central in prophetic ministry. Yes, speaking direction and guidance about future events aligns with Scripture, but it must always be consistent with its focus on the crossmirroring all scriptural teachings.
Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved.
Unlocking true potential within the prophetic ministry starts by dedicating oneself to sharing this most radical truththe gospel of God. The visions and dreams, signs and wonders are the extravagant expressions of God's grace; however, one cannot assume that they automatically make you a prophet based on these experiences alone. Don't misunderstand: it is not your function as a title but rather a tool.
Paul preached and taught everything referencing the awe-inspiring gospel. My conviction is that this emphasis should characterize honest, godly, authentic prophetic ministry tookeep sharing the good news about Jesus Christ. If you already are doing so, continue in that fthful eavor. When Christ appears, you will not be ashamed!
Respect Christ's authority in all you say and do.
