The Shaking of Nations - A Harvest Tsunami Is On Its Way....
Spiritual gifts are divine powers that the Holy Spirit gives to
God’s people for the purpose of building up the Body of Christ
- to fully and powerfully reflect the life and ministry of Jesus
Christ (1Cor. 14:1, 7). Of all of the spiritual gifts, prophecy is
one of the most foundational gifts that touches almost every
verbal ministry of the church. The simplest definition of
prophecy is telling others what God inspires us to say to them.
It is the experience of the historical church that when the
presence of the Holy Spirit is manifested in the midst of His
people - prophecy naturally springs forth as a dominant gift.
God is supernatural and talks to His people supernaturally.
Such immediate words from the Lord (the r hema word) does
not have the same authority as Scripture (the logos word of
God), which is the established word of God that has been
recorded and handed down to God’s people. But it is the
Rhema word of God that is a powerful medium of revealing
God’s love and heart and releas ing His power in the moment.
Under the new covenant all of God’s people can - to some
extent prophecy, since all have received the gift of the Holy
Spirit to live inside of them (I Cor. 14:31). What is sad is that
the church today has given up much of its supernatural
inheritance in Christian ministry through unbelief and bad
theology.
