ABOUT THE MINISTRY OF THE PROPHETS

1 CORINTHIANS 14, Prophecy (preaching the deep truths of God) is what the Christians need, and unbelievers aren’t yet ready for it. If you prophesy, preaching God’s Word, even though such preaching is mostly for believers, and an unsaved person or a new Christian comes in who does not understand about these things, all these sermons will convince him of the fact that he is a sinner, and his conscience will be pricked by everything he hears. As he listens, his secret thoughts will be laid bare, and he will fall down on his knees and worship God, declaring that God is really there among you. Two or three may prophesy, one at a time, if they have the gift, while all the others listen. But if, while someone is prophesying, someone else receives a message or idea from the Lord, the one who is speaking should stop. In this way all who have the gift of prophecy can speak, one after the other, and everyone will learn and be encouraged and helped. Remember that a person who has a message from God has the power to stop himself or wait his turn. God is not one who likes things to be disorderly and upset. He likes harmony. Well, my brothers, let’s add up what I am saying. When you meet together some will sing, another will teach, or tell some special information God has given him, or speak in an unknown language, or tell what someone else is saying who is speaking in the unknown language, but everything that is done must be useful to all, and build them up in the Lord. FRIENDS, IT IS WONDERFUL TO HAVE A PROPHETIC MINISTRY, HOWEVER, IF THE PROPHET SAYS SOMETHING CONTRARY TO THE BIBLE OR WANT MONEY FOR THEIR SERVICES, ARE THEY REALLY A PROPHET? A TRUE PROPHET WILL GLORIFY JESUS! Revelation 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
