Truths About Online Prophetic Ministry Gifting

By Debra Murray


Visionary ministries are misunderstood mainly among the churches of Christ today. We can see the Lord moving mightily in some places and that He is pouring out true visionary anointing on His people. Have a look at the going article taking us through the theme Truths about Online Prophetic Ministry gifting.

The gift of prophecy, as with other offerings, benefits from learning, training, and practice. The Bible teaches us that the life of our local church is the primary context in which we should develop and exercise our visionary gifts (1 Cor 14). If you would like to know how to develop your visionary gift, here are five contexts in which you can do so, along with some ideas to help you get started:

Born again Christian Believers need to understand the kingdom principles that God has established so that they can exercise their visionary gifts effectively. In this object, I want to help you sharpen your visionary discernment so the dynamic power of God can supernaturally operate through you in every God-given assignment. Discernment begins with understanding humankind's relationship with either of these two kingdoms.

For example, Samson in the book of Judges was powerfully anointed by the Holy Spirit, at the same time he has many problems in his life and moral. People think that a person who is used by God in demonstrations of power must be holy and with entirely correct doctrine, therefore, once they see a flaw in one's belief or character, they conclude that one's visionary ministries must not be from God.

A Visionary Mentor (1 Kings 19:19-21): A good mentor can help you grow in your visionary ministry. If someone that you would like to learn from has too many commitments to take personal time for you, you can still learn from them by observing their ministry and finding practical ways to assist them; Check that your mentor is engaged in the life of a healthy church, is accountable to lead and has a positive attitude about church life.

I have seen and heard visionary voices declaring blessing over the calamities in the world that are occurring. That may sound like a correct visionary word unless the catastrophes the prophecy is trying to address are happening as a result of human rebellion and sinful actions. Will God honor that kind of predictive word of restoration and blessing? Not likely, until the cause of the spiritual problem is resolved with Him.

This does not mean that we could do whatever we want because no good work would gain us the power of the Holy Spirit. But instead, we must examine all the prophecies we hear, no matter if they came from a person with powerful visionary track record or from a person who apparently has unresolved life issues. However, if a person is apparently in rebellion against God, we must not receive from him no matter how powerful he is.

Predictive Development in the Wider Christian Community: Look out for visionary training sessions in your community or region. You will receive most benefit when you can practice prophecy as well as receive teaching about it; you may also like to attend conferences where visionary ministry is a theme, or where a respected prophet or visionary speaker is ministering.
