In these 'modern times' when prophets are thin on the ground and even scarce in the Church, how do we know who is a real prophet and who may just be masquerading as a prophet? God gives a prophet time for preparation typically. John the Baptist had 30 years, as did Jesus Christ, whereas Paul had only around three. Have a look at the following article taking us through the theme Describing and defining the work and Prophetic ministry start up coaching and consulting.
This is why the apostle Paul, in his epistle, took up an offering for the believers living in Jerusalem. Paul was proactive in his response to this prophecy; prophecy helps us prepare and take proactive measures. Paul had a heart of compassion to help them through this unfruitful and challenging time. The church in Antioch acted proactively responding to the prophet's prediction that was yet to come.
These are good signs because men of God are invariably reluctant to take up the task at the start, but the person has eventually won around to following Jesus Christ. Too many people, Jesus was a phony, but to as many, as received Him, He gave power. Some could not receive Paul's ministry, but when people accepted that he was sent by the risen living Jesus, they drew from him something of the life and love of God.
In every prophetic department, we witness moral uprightness. We see simplicity of worship and spiritual directness. Each prophetic ministry displays high standards of inter-personal relationships. It is all there in the Sermon on the Mount. Some plead that biblical standards are too high, too narrow, too limiting, for today. Not so.
In these final moments of time, do you know what God is going to do? Revelation tells us! God is going to raise up preachers, and preachers who will be prophetic. He will have a band of prophetic preachers or a community of prophets. Prophets do not just teach the Word and expound the Scriptures, but they give a direct word from God.
The prophet's role is to seek and discern God's voice. The word counsel above comes from the Hebrew word crowd meaning "a private session, a company of persons in close deliberation; by implication-intimacy, consultation, a secret assembly, secret (counsel)." It means going into God's presence to have a meeting or session with Him.
A prophet carries the burden of the living God. God gives him a weight, and that involves a massive responsibility as he takes the word of God. Prophets see something. Isaiah had a fantastic insight into what was happening in the nation of Israel and what was about to happen to the country of Israel, God's chosen people.
A prophet is similar to the antenna on a car. He or she picks up sound waves from the airwaves of heaven, learns to translate them and then disseminates this information in a clear message to its intended audience; much like a car radio does with radio sound waves. After a person or a prophet goes into God's presence, he is to perceive a word by visual or audible means.
