The prophetic ministry is quintessentially different from the other five-fold ascension gifts and the subject of this essay.

Prophets carry a great sense of spiritual authority. They enjoy rooting out, pulling down, and destroying all spiritual opposition that gets in the way of the plans and purpose of God. Moses said, "Would God that all the Lord's people were prophets and that the Lord would put his spirit upon them."

When God speaks hope and faith comes alive to those that have an ear to hear what the Holy Spirit is saying to the churches. Prophetic operations release: Hope, Purpose, Life, Warnings, Guidance.

Prophetic guidance points the way, directs on course, offers biblical instruction, and provides spiritual insight.
