A couple weeks back, we stopped in east Texas to visit with Troy Black and discuss modern-day prophecy. I really respect Troy and I believe he has an authentic prophetic gift. This conversation may challenge you, but it will also encourage and inspire you. Controversy aside, the prophetic gift of the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential to the Church.
My Dad always said, “The pleasures are where the dangers are.” In other words, you don’t find the Gold without taking risk. Some people don’t like the possibility that Christians can prophesy because of the opportunities for abuse that it provides. But Jesus is not afraid of that risk. Heck! Jesus committed to us the Great Commission and we botch that up all the time! Prophecy is a gift or a tool that God has given to help us complete our callings in life. We need to learn to make use of it.
Dad also said, “I’d rather have some wildfires to put out every now and then, instead of no fire at all!”
@KarlGessler amen to your dad's last quote there!!
