Publisher's Synopsis
Without question, we live in a period of time, in the 21st century, where much has been revealed in the area of prophetic gifting and ministry. This is a powerful thing; as for many centuries erroneous teaching in the religious community has restricted the prophetic, as well as the Prophets. God desires to speak to His people. Undoubtedly, God speaks to us through His word, but He also wants to comfort, encourage and exhort the churches through the use of the prophetic gift of the Holy Spirit. The religious community has in many areas, misunderstood the purpose of the gift and to a large extent, has been intimidated by it. This has led to a rise in mishandling of this precious blessing of the Holy Spirit to speak to His people and the world at-large. The restoration of prophetic gifting and the ministry of the Prophet are vital to the Church influencing the world. God desires to speak to His people through the prophetic dimension. Unfortunately, and as with other dimensions, the prophetic has been inundated with esoteric teachings and mystical applications that has enabled witchcraft to pervert the truth of God's word surrounding this subject. Our spiritual son, Apostle Brian Carroll does an excellent job aligning the dimension with the commission of the saints to proclaim the Kingdom of Heaven throughout the world. We have labored together with Apostle Brian for many years. His commitment to merging the prophetic gift of the Holy Spirit to the original mandate of the Kingdom, to release the voice of the King throughout the world is without question - undaunted. Clearly, the goal of the manual is to enable apostolic churches, prophetic companies and Kingdom citizens to operate at full capacity in the Prophetic realm. That's what "So you call yourself a Prophet" is all about - Kingdom training in Prophetic ministry. The current literature that exists today in the prophetic dimension unfortunately sidesteps the application of Kingdom focus. Further, the landscape of teaching prophetic operations and the application of the ascension gift of the Prophet in the 21st century has predominately been positioned in correlation to an Old Testament view. This manual goes into extensive detail as to the nature and administration of both the gift and the office, from a Kingdom viewpoint. Apostle Brian brings with precision and clarity the dynamics of the prophetic and releases present day truth surrounding its application. We applaud Apostle Brian's calling to eradicate much of the confusion that exists, and to challenge many of the improper teachings we have experienced over the years. As a student of the Word of God, we believe that this manual will assist you to correctly discern prophetically, promote a healthy advancement of prophetic ministry and remove many of the obstacles that have hindered your advancing in prophetic ministry. We recommend that you read this entire manual, study it and revisit it many times over. Allow these Kingdom principles regarding Prophetic operations to penetrate your heart and mind so that as a citizen of the Kingdom, you will be fully equipped in releasing the prophetic dimension in the earth realm.
