Should there be prophets that only prophecy that which others want to hear? Should we listen to the litany of bathroom prophets, parking lot prophets, choir stand prophets, and workplace prophets that tell of that which we want to hear? Has the church gone wild? While there are many in the traditional church that would deny all of the prophetic gifts as hogwash, I beg to differ! There are many in our land that want to hear a word from the Lord, and God is releasing those that sit in every ministry gift office!Will we go back to being a thinking practical church? Will we stop prophesying to get the most dates, the largest offerings, and the top billings at our church conferences? Who couldn’t prophesy into a crowd of 50,000 women that there is someone having money problems, or someone believing God for a man? Is it true prophecy that gives us these leading, or is it just the law of large numbers at work? My prayer is that we would return to humility in ministry as a virtue, and that we would return to the day where telling others to live right will be our goal even if it means losing preaching engagements! Are we only supposed to speak that which the upper authorities in our land, church, and our denomination want to hear?
