Download or read book The Nature of the Prophetic written by Vishal Jetnarayan and published by . This book was released on 2016-02-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reappearance of prophetic ministry is one of the most significant and profound awakenings to impact the Church in North America as a result of the 1948 revival known as the "Latter Rain Movement." This Spirit-inspired restoration of the gift of the prophet was an unexpected development for many Christians who had been taught that the gifts of the Spirit, and especially the "sign" gifts, had ceased with the end of the apostolic age. Nevertheless, prophetic ministry quickly took its place as a vital part of Church life, particularly in the areas of personal prophecy and personal activation.In this concise and insightful book, Vishal Jetnarayan defines prophetic ministry as "the revelation of Christ...who...walked perfectly in the nature, character, and mannerisms of His Father." Humans are imperfect and sinful, however, and over time prophetic ministry in the Church became imbalanced, resulting in confusion, offense, and spiritual and emotional wounds among many people. This book addresses that imbalance and seeks to provide a corrective by examining and elucidating the true nature of prophetic ministry and how it is supposed to function in the Church. He stresses that the prophetic is a ministry of spiritual understanding enabled by the Holy Spirit, accessed by obedience to the Holy Spirit, and characterized by love for the people of God.

Book excerpt: The reappearance of the prophetic ministry is one of the most significant and profound awakenings to impact the Church as a result of the 1948 revival known as the "Latter Rain Movement," which began in North America but quickly spread throughout the world. The Spirit-inspired restoration of the prophetic ministry was an unexpected development for many Christians who had been taught that prophecy, along with the other "sign" gifts of the Spirit, had ceased with the end of the apostolic age. Nevertheless, the prophetic ministry quickly took its place as a vital part of Church life, particularly in the areas of personal prophecy and personal activation. Every move of God in the earth involves people, even though people always taint His move in one way or another. Over time, prophetic ministry in the Church became imbalanced, resulting in confusion, offense, as well. as spiritual and emotional wounds among the people. One reason is that many people who love prophetic ministry never grow to maturity because they never learn to hear God's voice personally, depending instead on hearing His voice through others. In this concise and insightful book, Vishal Jetnarayan defines prophetic ministry as "the revelation of Christ...who...walked perfectly in the nature, character, and mannerisms of His Father." He addresses the imbalances of present prophetic ministry and seeks to present an accurate representation of the Father's intention regarding how we should understand and function in this wonderful and much-needed ministry. He stresses that the prophetic is a ministry of spiritual understanding enabled by the Holy Spirit, accessed by obedience to the Holy Spirit, and characterized by humility and the love of the Father for all people.

Download or read book An Introduction to the Old Testament Prophetic Books written by C. Hassell Bullock and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2007-05-01 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Old Testament prophets spoke to Israel in times of historical and moral crisis. They saw themselves as being a part of a story that God was weaving throughout history--a story of repentance, encouragement, and a coming Messiah. In this updated introductory book, each major and minor prophet and his writing are clustered with the major historical events of their time. Our generational distance from the age of the prophets might seem to be a measureless chasm. Yet we dare not make the mistake of assuming that passing years have rendered irrelevant not only the Old Testament prophets, but also the God who comprehends, spans, and transcends all time. In these pages, C. Hassell Bullock presents a clear picture of some of history's most profound spokesmen--the Old Testament prophets--and the God who shaped them.

Download or read book Understanding Spiritual Gifts written by Sam Storms and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are spiritual gifts? Storms has spent several decades teaching on the topic of the spiritual gifts and equipping believers in the faithful practice of God's gifts. Yet there remains a great deal of confusion about the nature of the gifts and how they best function in the body of Christ. In this comprehensive guide to the spiritual gifts, Storms addresses the many bizarre and misleading interpretations while confronting the tendency to downplay the urgency of spiritual gifts for Christian living and ministry. He explains how spiritual gifts--both the more miraculous and the everyday--are given to build up the body of Christ. God has graciously provided these "manifestations of the Spirit" so that believers might encourage, edify, strengthen, instruct, and console one another, all with a view to an ever-increasing, incremental transformation into the image of Jesus Christ. Throughout this guide, Sam Storms unpacks the glorious truth that there is a supernatural and divine energy or power that fills and indwells the body and soul of every Christian believer. Understanding Spiritual Gifts is useful as a reference to address common questions about the gifts, but it also serves as a training manual for using and exercising the gifts in ministry. It is perfect for any individual or group who wants to grow in their understanding of spiritual gifts for today.
Download or read book Understanding the Prophetic Nature written by John T Reagan and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prophets seem to be popping up everywhere! This is to be expected since as we near the time of Jesus' second coming, He is restoring to the church ministries that seemed to disappear only a few short centuries after the church began. In recent years this restoration has been especially true of the office of the prophet. Do you know people who seem to be gifted in the prophetic ministry? What makes them tick? Why do they sometimes misbehave in the church? Especially concerning, is that they sometimes conflict with pastors! Somehow, two ministries that God intended to complement each other are instead at odds. That is not a good thing! Understanding the Prophetic Nature takes a look at the spiritual foundations from which the prophetically gifted person operates, explores the prophet's basic nature, delves into his special relationship with God, and seeks to bridge the divide that far too often stands between the pastor and the prophet. In the process, this book covers enriching topics such as the charismatic and motivational gifts of the Spirit as well as the fivefold ministry gifts and how they operate in the church. Giving glory to God throughout the text, using creative examples, endearing stories and relevant scriptures, the author connects the various themes of the book, creating an unforgettable read. John T. Reagan was raised on a small farm in the mountains of Southern Idaho. After graduating high school he obtained his Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics and went on to teach in the secondary public schools. He and his wife, Ruth, raised (and homeschooled) two awesome sons. Besides teaching school, John pastored two small rural churches in the Pacific Northwest as well as a church plant in Butte, Montana, where they currently reside.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These essays are written in honour of John D.W. Watts, formerly Professor of Old Testament at Southern Baptist Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky and Old Testament editor of the Word Biblical Commentary, well known for his contributions, especially to scholarship on the prophetic books. Accordingly, the essays here address the literary, redactional and canonical questions posed by the Hebrew Bible's prophetic literature. The prophetic books have defied easy classification according to genre or facile explanation of their historical development. With a special focus on the books of Isaiah and of the Twelve Prophets, the nature and formation of prophecy as literature is probed from a variety of methodological standpoints, including textual criticism, synchronic literary analysis, tradition history and redaction criticism.
