The Heart Of A True Prophet Part-1

Summary:

How does a true prophet function in this day?

What are some of the requirements of a prophet?

We discuss this briefly in this podcast.

Show Notes:

• A prophet hears what God has to say to the people and hears the

cries of the people as God did when the Children of Israel were in

captivity in Egypt.

• A true prophet has died to self and their only drive is for God’s will

to be done on this earth and in people’s lives.

• There is a difference in the gift of prophecy and the ministry of a

prophet.

References:

Ephesians 4:10-13

He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than

all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.

So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the

evangelists, the pastors and teachers,

to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of

Christ may be built up

until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the

Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure

of the fullness of Christ.

Hebrews 11:3 

By faith we understand that the world has been created by the

word of God so that what is seen has not been made out of things

that are visible.

Matthew 6:10 

Your kingdom come. Your will be done as in heaven, so also

upon earth.

1 Corinthians 12:13-27

The Body of Christ

Matthew 7:12-16 

“Therefore, however you want people to treat you, so treat

them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

“Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide, and the way is

broad that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter by

it.

“For the gate is small, and the way is narrow that leads to life,

and few are those who find it.

“Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s

clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.

“You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered

from thorn bushes, nor figs from thistles, are they?

Quotes:

• I think it’s important that we define a prophet’s heart.

• The heart of a prophet aches for the cries of the people

• A real prophet has no pride...no desire to be a position.

Take Away:

There are no selfish ambitions nor pride in a true prophet. Their desire

is to do the will of God and to see the people free to also do the will of

God in the earth.
