A Glimpse Into the Prophet of the Kingdom

*Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player. Summary: As the age of the Kingdom unfolds, we see that the prophet of the kingdom will exhibit all the qualities of the old and new testament prophet and will have the heart of the Lord as a shepherd. Prominence and position will not be in them, but they will be submerged into the Body of Christ as it comes forth in maturity. Show Notes: The Kingdom prophet will be different than the prophet of the church age in that he will have all the qualities and gifts of the old and new testament prophet and more. As the kingdom unfolds, all the designations that we have used to distinguish the different ministries will fade and each person will just flow together in the family. The Prophet is not a position, but a father to bring forth the people into what God has for them. Because of the deep love relationship that the people have with the prophet they will know what he is speaking is a Word from God and therefore will not be led astray. The prophet will help bring God’s people into all that they are to become. Quotes: The kingdom prophet will not only speak a Word, he will have the quality to be able to hear the cries like the Lord hears. And so he'll hear the unspoken cries of the people and be able to minister to that. There's Like a blurring of lines between the five fold ministries as they make the transition from the New Testament age into the Kingdom age. ...I think in the church age, the apostles, prophets, those designations were necessary so that people would take notice, listen, open up. And it's not a ministry that is a position. It's simply a ministry that's crying out to the Father for the people and having that father ministry with the people. I believe it's very significant when we're talking about the ministry of the prophet in the kingdom because he's going to be more than just speaking a word from God out to the earth. He's going to be a ministry that functions as a father and as a priest, and as a prophet. ...if you're in the family and you have relationships with the men and women of God, you're not deceived. Because you know these people, you know them by the Spirit, you know their hearts. When the Body of Christ will be mature, what does that mean? They will be grown up into one Body. They know and understand and they love me to the point where they lift me up to become something, to become who I'm supposed to be.

Takeaways: In the unfolding of the kingdom of God, we are seeing the ministry of the prophet evolve into what God wants today. Prophets are one of the gift ministries of which there are many are for the perfecting of the ministries who build up the Body of Christ.
