episode 96: EP 96: Do You Believe In The Prophetic Or Pathetic?
When I say the word, prophetic, you may react in a variety of different ways depending on your theology or personal experience. For some, the word prophetic means someone who is emotionally unstable making outlandish statements that don’t square with scripture. On the other extreme, prophetic might mean a supercharged understanding of precisely what God is doing in your life.
Prophetic by definition simply means to speak forth. Isn’t that what you do in the pulpit? I certainly hope so. Seekers of God come to churches hoping that they will hear from God directly through your words. That seems to me the very definition of prophetic ministry.
Timothy was transformed through the proper use of prophecy. During the podcast, I contrast true and false prophecy in our day.
