episode 97: Is Prophetic Ministry Valid In Today's Church?
Prophetic ministry played a major role in my trip to Zimbabwe in November of 2017. I share my journey today to illustrate the value of present-day prophetic ministry. this.
Prophetic words caused my African mission to have a specific focus. I Did not travel there to bring American culture to the Zimbabweans or give them western ideas or advice. Instead, I was there to observe, hear God and do my best to deliver what I heard.

The ministry of the prophetic here in the United States is often more pathetic than prophetic. That is because people pursue prophecy and the other gifts of the Holy Spirit to gain recognition. They want to be seen as super spiritual or in touch with God.
As a result, many share their personal feelings and ascribe these feelings to the Holy Spirit which confuses everyone. During the podcast, I talk about the practical application of prophecy in everyday life.
