CAN IT BE THAT GOD IS USING TRUMP TO RESTORE THE OFFICE OF THE PROPHET TO THE CHURCH?
- 3 years ago
The Need Today for the Prophetic Word
It seems that God is using Mr. Trump as an instrument to bring the ministry of the prophet to the forefront. If your church does not have the ministry of a prophet. Then you need to speak up or leave. This may seem harsh but consider the alternative, which is to continue in spiritual darkness.
The question for today is, “Does God still choose to reveal truths to his servants, the apostles and prophets, He doesn’t to other folk?”
Consider this from the Book of Joel in the Old Testament, chapter 2: (28) “And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions, and also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days.” In general these are spoken of as “Signs of the Coming Day of the Lord” and they all speak of revelatory insight from the Lord. Peter referred to this as being fulfilled on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2) and Paul makes it central to his gospel (Rom. 10:13).
Various outpourings of the Holy Spirit through the years could have legitimately laid claim to such manifestations. Could we not speak of the possibility of such manifestations for our day? Yes, we could but most persons claiming to speak as a prophet in this day would tend to be discounted if not forcibly removed from a given congregation. Beyond this, not much allowance is made for the work of the Holy Spirit in the average Protestant congregation. That being the case, it certainly precludes the manifestation of a prophetic message.
Now we’ve got a problem. If God chooses to reserve certain of His revelations to dreams and visions and then the prophetic expression of these dreams & visions and the church is not disposed to receive them, congregations are then cut off from what God is wanting to reveal.
Meanwhile much of the church struggles to find its way—small wonder the nation may have been said to have also lost its way. In fact, those who may not claim to know anything about the prophetic speak of there being “a battle for the soul of America”.
What then shall we do? If you believe in the promises of Scripture, claim this one, “So I (Almighty God) sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found no one” (Ezekiel 22:30). This verse is hanging out there for someone to take hold of it. Why not you? This is a prophetic promise
