You Have Been Called Into The Office Of A Prophet
[bring confrontations to the traditions or commandments of of man…to bring correction and direction to Christs body…to bring reformation; a prophet is trained under the watchful eye of God…eg – John the Baptist….to make sure his spirit was strong enough to confront the nation/Israel and the religious leaders; …to bring about reformation to the body of christ and to call men out of their sin that they may know eternal life; all believers should prophesy / seers…it edifies and brings comfort, but prophets carry the weight of their revelation; the disposition, to bring about reformation…bringing people back by changing their heart, will match your position]
