Prophecy – A Clear Call

Job 39-40; 1 Corinthians 13-14

“Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy…But everyone who prophesies speaks to men for their strengthening, encouragement and comfort…he who prophesies edifies the church…if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle?”

1 Corinthians 14:1, 3, 4, 8

The gift of prophesying requires great love for its healthy expression. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. Prophecy is most often forth telling what the Spirit is saying to the Church and there is no one who loves the church more than Jesus; “For it is the Spirit of prophecy who bears testimony to Jesus (Revelation 19:10)”.

Are we clearly hearing Jesus speaking to us individually and as his Church?

It is Jesus who is calling his Bride, the Church, to prepare her for his return. We are being called to spiritual healing, freedom, and deliverance so all that Jesus desires to do through us can be accomplished. When we feel ‘stuck,’ we need a Word from Jesus to gain perspective and revelation. His Word to us will always strengthen, encourage, comfort, and edify.

Are we hearing a clear call and are we sounding a clear call?

“Lord Jesus, release your gift of prophecy in your Church, for your glory.”
