G-d's Prophet's placed in a "box"…?
It is not correct to categorized with details the Prophets in the "Office of Prophet" concerning personalities, positions, states, finances, and performances! It will grieve the Holy Spirit when people on their "human" way formulate methods for evaluating & determining the "Office of Prophet" by some (shortly human thinking minded) analysis technique or personality profile! That is touching G-ds anointed prophets that could harm them! (Psalm 105:15) Basically the Prophet has the ministry of revelation & anointing that points the way to the Messiah! The prophet has together with the apostle the closest working relationship in their 'hand' ministry to the Universal Body of the Messiah! His ministry is recognized by the Body of Yeshua, because of the years of bringing good fruits and a consistent ministry, not just by analysis chart from a narrow mindset! Surely the L-rd G-d will do nothing, but he revealed His secret unto His servants the prophets! (Amos 3:7)
"High calling" High demands!!
The commissioning in the "Office of Prophet" is asking for high demands!! It is a "High calling" ! Only a prophet really knows the ministry and function of a "Prophet". And even one prophet should not try to "box" other prophets into 'his prophetic rule'! It is unscriptural & unwise to put a Prophet (as for the other 5-fold offices) into a "box" of limited anointing & activities! There are similar characters, but different in verities of G-d's destiny and anointing, specific for each person (prophet)! The 5-fold ascension gifts overlap and integrate just as the 9 gifts of the Holy Spirit do! Non are specific inferior or superior but they all are anointed, appointed & commissioned of God for His specific purpose!
The Prophet is called to move on!
We also had to depart from our family, from the security you build on, our friendly & familiar walking; going into uncertainly with a promise of G-d; “You are sent by the G-d of the Universe!" Leaving our Country where we grown up, going into an unknown “{also hostile}-zone”, with expectations. Like Abraham it is the promise of G-d and His voice that spoke unto us: Now the L-rd had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: (Genesis 12:1)
Misunderstanding or
oppression?
And “yes” there are times we need to ‘deal’ against a hostile environment of unrighteousness, pride, prejudice & discrimination against us as (foreign) ministers in the Prophetic movement and in the active operation in the office of a Prophet! Against “saints” who still make compromises to get favor, to get money, to get position with striving, fighting, arguing and neglecting! They still love their traditions and common habits; but these are abominations unto a Holy G-d! For many times we had to deal with those whose hearts, are full of un-forgiveness and works of the flesh, what’s make them questionable if they are called of G-d! They are so ignorant or neglect the knockings of the Holy Spirit on the door of their hearts, and then they don’t realize that they often grieve the Holy Spirit; don’t really cherish His influences and so missing the “prophet’s blessings”! If you don’t ‘fit’ in their own programs, within the framework of their organization, according to their own insight and will, you do not ‘count’ for them!
Against Pastor-(s) who finding themselves ‘very important’ and holding
up their position and are not prepared with a G-dly open mind to receive
the Prophet
in it’s right position!
It also called
hypocritically! So often believers (minister or not!) are trapped by satan: "well-pleasing to man, people and leaders to obtain a good impression?”! When the prophet is expected to preach good, sound comfortable words, to “please” to people who receive the message, and make them “feel comfortable” by pleasant words. So they accept it and think its ok? NO this it is wrong!
Instead of recommending the message...
Instead of recommending the message of the Prophet, and holding up his hands in all possible ways for support; most Churches, Ministers, leaders and pastors stand right in the way and contradict the message and his positive influence! They are complaining still to receive a good straight message of the L-rd; they can be changed by the power of G-d. If not, they still want to sleep further?! G-d will send His people out for labor, but if people do not want to receive the prophet, than I have to put off the 'dust' from me and go further on!
America, America!!!?
America, America, it’s called the blessed Nation! And we believe in it! But, in the Body of Yeshua/Christ, there is so much, which I cannot call “blessed”; I am force to say “sick”! If there is no radical and serious turn to G-d, this “blessed” nation will lose its preferable position!
Prejudice...
Prejudice
and in combination with
any form of discrimination in a disaster for
human kind. None of reasonable & capable human
beings thought's & speeches is immune from
harboring prejudice! It often will take
deliberating efforts and also awareness to
eliminate any form of prejudice; with the right
and (G-d-ly) sufficient motivation, it could be
dealt with it! The right information & education
is a powerful weapon against prejudice! It is a
way also to expose the root causes prejudice,
enable to examine the attitudes more
objectively, or the pride in that specific
person or group associate with the same issue
and/or thoughts! It could be a way to help
certain victims of prejudice in a more wisely
and tactfully way!
Prejudice
is a form of discrimination that its roots have
from mostly pride! It causes people to
distort, or even ignore the facts that is in
conflict with their predetermined opinions,
without
any knowledge of the
facts; but just by assuming!
Prejudice may have its beginning in seemingly
innocent, but it is misguided; with a wrong
mentality, without a real reason, but more in a
different way of (wrong) opinions. It may be
sown by those who deliberately promote warped or
miss-understanding, not having the willingness
even to try to understand views of other races,
cultures, religions, denominational differences!
It is evil 'product' of inordinate pride!
A
[self-confident]
'fool' has no delight in understanding
but only in revealing his personal opinions
{and} himself. (Proverbs 18:2)
Sole signatory rights?
Church-leaders reserved for themselves sole signatory rights on the Church's accounts, and often hid the fact that they often used the money for their own personal use! They control Church’s money; which is still G-d’s money, placing themselves among the “rich influent men" category! (Ab)-Using their own ministries, Churches and the money like business, regardless for the ‘own’ people (unless if they are rich & famous; to please them, in order to get their favor and...money)!
I
can still hear the terrifying and horrible cry
from hell:
G-d knows the secrets!
But G-d knows the secrets of your innermost hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of G-d! (Luke 16:15) There I am standing, like Abraham, if I would find contentment, because I am designated with a specific purpose! The L-rd guards the prophet from dwelling exclusively on the national character of his specific mission. In the midst of general prejudice, superficiality & rejection the prophet has to stand alone before his G-d and give account of himself according to his own works! (Ezekiel 3:17-27; 18:1-23; 33:1-20) They have not only resisted the Spirit but also have “killed” those (Prophets) inspired by Him!
Sending instructions!
Likewise Abraham promises' of G-d!
Surely the L-rd G-d will do nothing, but he revealed his secret unto his servants the prophets. (Amos 3:7)
Different kinds of prophets!
There are many different kinds of prophets. All ministers do not have the same calling or emphasis of ministry. Jeremiah, for example, was called the "weeping prophet," while Ezra, Nathan, and Gad were "writing prophets" the latter two of which wrote 2 Samuel and 1 & 2 Chronicles. There are prophets who are also teachers (Acts 13:1). There are prophets whose primary ministry is within a local body. Some prophets are called to be the local resident apostle over a work, giving it apostolic oversight. Other prophets have a traveling ministry, and some function not only as prophets but also as Missionaries (Acts 13:1-4). Prophets are SEERS; they see things supernaturally in the Spirit that other people don't see. (1 Samuel 9:9)
...Prophets
can hear things that are not intended to be heard by others! If G-d reveals
it to them, they can even hear
evil plans
conceived in privacy and secrecy!
(2 Kings. 6:8-12)
...Prophets
pronounce judgment
(Jeremiah 1:16, 17)
...Prophets can execute G-d's judgments!
(Revelations 11:3-13)
...Prophets exposes
sin:
Nathan the Prophet
exposed the sin
of David. (2 Sam. 11:1;
12:13 Revelation 10:7; 11:15) The ministry of the COMPANY OF PROPHETS will bring the culmination of the Church Age. (Acts 3:21) When the prophets have finished their ministry, Messiah Yeshua or Jesus the Christ will be released to return to claim His Church-Bride! {The righteous un-compromising saints who are became "Over-comers"} ...When Israel was in trouble and needed a deliverer, God sent a prophet! They (Midian) invaded the land to ravage it. Midian so impoverished the Israelites that they cried out to the Lord for help. When the Israelites cried to the Lord because of Midian, he sent them a prophet! (Judges 6:6, 7)
