The Prophecy Series: A Prophetic Manifesto

Voices from the Desert

What would it look like if prophetic ministry began looking once again as it did in the early church? What would the marks of historic, authentic, and true prophetic ministry be? Join Josh and Murray as they lay out 7 marks of historic prophetic ministry as they reflect on revelation and the early church.
The seven marks of historic prophetic ministry:
- The reputation of Macarius the Great.
- The Desert Fathers (aka the prophets in the church) were sought for their great understanding of Scripture.
- The primary function of prophetic ministry is to reveal the nature of God/heart of Christ. A secondary/tertiary function is telling the future.
- An intense regards for humility, solitude, and silence (see the aforementioned Macarius)
- A hesitancy to use a gift to build a platform. Prophets/those in prophetic ministry ought to desire to be hidden rather than seen and to see the gift used in hidden ways.
- De-shackling the function of prophecy from end-times eschatology
- A healthier understanding of 5-fold ministry (admitting that we don't know what we are talking about). How has it been applied in ages past?
