The Role of a New Testament Prophet

[BishopMHaywood]

I believe that preaching "should" be prophecy in the realest since. By that I mean that we "should" be presenting a MESSAGE given to us and through us by God, and not just a "sermon" that sounds good to us. If the message is truly from God, it is prophecy.

I also opperate in the classical prophetic ministry, God both shows me visions and speaks words of wisdom, knowledge, and discernment through me. One of the most amazing ministry moments in my life was when I ran into a saint I had never met before while looking through gospel cd's at Walmart, this person asked me if I had a word from the Lord for him, I didn't think I did, but as I began to seek the Lord in that moment I had a clear vision of what would occur in his life in the next few years. I have ran into that saint many times since then and he consistantly confirms that everything the Lord spoke to him through me has come to pass exactly. Glory belongs to God, the prophetic ministry is real.

I believe everyone who has the Holy Spirit has the ability to flow in the prophetic, but to differing degrees.
