Developing a Prophetic Lifestyle & Cultivating a Prophetic Community

This is not another Prophecy 101 type manual. Recommended resources in Appendix II include some great 101 type study materials. This is not meant to be a manual for training prophets or those called to the office. The topic of prophets is covered in chapter 3. I expect anyone, prophets included, to find useful insight in this manual, but that is not the intent. The intent of this manual is primarily to cover the "why" behind prophetic ministry, and how the "why" impacts and flows through every dynamic. Much of the emphasis is on the perspective, filters, and nature of our heart when prophesying. A little theological backdrop in chapter 4 is included that is still true to this common thread of "why." Chapter 4 covers the basics but again will not dive into the same depth of details as other resources. Where applicable, personal experience will be utilized to give some real-life feel to the concept. Another topic of emphasis is the culture for growth and expression. I end with a bit of a dreaming with God notion that is meant to stir your heart and imagination to do likewise. This clarification is not meant to do anything other than give an upfront awareness of the focus. I pray God uses this to stir your heart and inspire a lifestyle of expressing His goodness to those you meet.
