God Desires that All His People would be Prophets, God’s Spokesmen who Speak for God

God’s desire in both the Old and the New Testament was that His people would speak for Him; Moses expressed God’s desire when he said, Oh that all of God’s people would be prophets (Num. 11:29). However, when we speak of the matter of being a prophet, many today think that to prophesy is to […]

Prophesying by Speaking forth God’s Word to Fulfill His Desire and Build up the Church

In Ezekiel 37 we see not only our condition when we’re fallen or backslidden (“dry bones”) but also God’s solution: prophesying, that is, the need to prophesy by speaking for the Lord so that the Spirit would come in and enliven us!

Our God is a Speaking God, and He desires to speak to us, in us, and through us!
