Redefining Prophetic Ministry: The Shift In Understanding Prophetic Ministry Today

One can go to any local Christian bookstore and see several shelves stocked full of the latest "how to prophesy" book. This is not that type of book. The church is embracing the restoration of the gift of prophecy to the church. Without it we often are left with a dry, absence of God in our present day situation. However, with the rise in legitimate prophetic ministry, there is sure to be error, mixture and the outright false. Nowadays, everyone claims to be a prophet or is throwing prophecy around a bit too flippantly. For this reason I feel there is a need to re-define our current understanding of prophecy. Our definition defines identity.
