This morning I attended the second session of the training track, Prophetic Encounter<\/em>. This session was entitled \u201cProphets and Prophets Together Giving a Fuller Picture.\u201d The New Testament refers to prophetic bands. Prophets working together often results in releasing the prophetic gift in greater measure, to the enhancement and greater health of the local church. The session was led by Keith Hazell, a visiting speaker from outside Newfrontiers.<\/p>\n

Keith and his wife, Nova, live in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, and are based in Mosaic Church<\/a>. Keith has been in the prophetic ministry for more than forty years and ministers extensively at home and abroad. He has a growing relationship with Newfrontiers churches, and has served some in East Anglia for more than twenty years. He and his wife are British-born and have strong roots in eastern England. They are blessed to serve in the body of Christ, along with their family, teaching and demonstrating the prophetic ministry.<\/p>\n

More posts from this conference can be found on my TOAM08 label page<\/a>. You can download the mp3s of this week\u2019s talks by subscribing to the new Newfrontiers podcast<\/a>, which will be an easy way for you to get access to the mp3s for free<\/p>\n

\"Keith<\/a>In the book of Acts, prophets do work in teams. Some people think prophets are all about tearing down. But the building-up bit is important. Prophets work as part of the leadership of a church, with different gifts.<\/p>\n

Acts 13:1-3
\u201cNow there were in the church at Antioch prophets and teachers . . .\u201d<\/p>\n

Prophets need to be comfortable with others; they are not individual players. We see them being sent in teams. They are under authority. Judas and Silas were sent together as a team and said much to encourage the Church.<\/p>\n

1 Corinthians 14:29
Two or three should speak and others weigh carefully. It is a team package. Get confirmation from one another when a team is involved. Learn to hear the voice of God with other people.<\/p>\n

Prophets Working Together in Unity<\/strong>
Whenever prophets are mentioned in the book of Acts, they are always mentioned in the context of the Church. There are no \u201cLone Rangers\u201d in Acts. Identify who are prophets and who are not, and then use them to build the Church. God appoints them, the church recognizes them. As Ephesians 4 says, \u201cGod gives the Church prophets.\u201d The place for building the body is in the Church.<\/p>\n

The Purpose of Prophets Working Together<\/strong>
This is good for their humility. Prophets should not think more of themselves than they ought. Like obscurity, hide as much as you can. When they work together they build. Prophecy is not just about blessing people as individuals.<\/p>\n

Protection for the Church<\/strong>
One man prophetic ministry can be very dangerous for a church. One prophet doesn\u2019t see everything there is to see.<\/p>\n

Prophets Train Others<\/strong>
Prophets need to reproduce other prophets\u2014train people, help to stretch their horizons.<\/p>\n

There is Power in Working Together<\/strong>
It is like an exponential increase of anointing. In 1 Samuel 10:5-6, Saul is told by Samuel that he will see a \u201cprocession of prophets coming down from the high place \u2026 and they will be prophesying.\u201d As a result of him being near that group, the Spirit came on him. Iron sharpens iron.<\/em> Get near people who are prophets and you may \u201ccatch\u201d something, almost as if it\u2019s contagious.<\/p>\n

Problems Do Arise Sometimes When Working Together<\/strong>
We all have human frailties that can interfere with our ability to work together. We can feel jealous sometimes. Some prophetic people take pride in being weird and eccentric. In a team that can get ironed out. Some become insecure and depressed. Apostolic covering brings security. It makes all the difference. Accountability is crucial for prophets.<\/p>\n

Promises Are Given by God<\/strong>
Ecclesiastes 4:9 \u2014 \u201cTwo are better than one \u2026\u201d Because we only know in part and prophesy in part, you get a bigger picture.<\/p>\n

Deuteronomy 32:30 \u2014 \u201cHow can one man chase a thousand, or two put ten thousand to flight?\u201d Two people can put 10,000 to flight, but one only 1,000.<\/p>\n

Julian Adams then added some additional thoughts. Prophets are intercessors. There is something about connecting to the heart of God and his affection, being carried into the heart of God together. Developing a sensitivity to the emotions of God for the people you are about to prophesy over. Get God\u2019s heart. Pray together as prophetic people.<\/p>\n

We are in Christ so there will never be a closed heaven. When Jesus was baptized heaven was opened, and now he has risen to heaven.<\/p>\n

Prophets can also come together for the sake of evangelism. Start with an encouraging word. Encouragement is the simplest form of prophecy. When unbelievers come in, they should say God is in this place. The worship team and prophecy can go together also. Stop, pause, and meditate.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
