PROPHETIC FAITH NETWORK

The vision was birthed in my heart as a forum where believers come together to network, share, discuss and move in the prophetics. It’s basically a network designed primarily to share the Word of God (which I believe gives the balance to all), and also encourage the diverse moves of the Holy Ghost.

The word “Prophetic” (Spirit) “Faith” (WORD of GOD) was coined from there. I wish It could be called Faith Prophetics, but that doesn’t sound right, does it?. Yes, I’ve seen many in the prophetic ministry concentrate on the move of the Spirit, and not grounded in the Word. This often swings a person to heretical views and familiar spirits. The Word and the Spirit must agree. I’ve been opportuned to lead and partake in Holy Ghost meetings and I know how great that feels to one’s spirit.  So this network provides a great avenue to learn the balance from each other, sharpen one’s gifts while serving and ministering to one another. This is a great forum to also network with people of like calls, gifts and mind. I believe some divine and eternal relationships would be established here ( I’ve had a couple myself).    

Having said that, I want to redefine the different ministry gifts that are represented here. The Five-fold ministry consists of the Office of an Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher. There are also more ministries not necessarily classified as Five-fold, but essential in the purpose of God for this age. These may be the office of an exhorter, encourager. Financier, helps ministry etc. Now the group prophetic Faith embraces all ministry gifts and callings in the body of Christ. So the word prophetic in the group does not imply a group consisting of just apostles and prophets, but other ministry gifts as well. These ministry gifts however must be inclined towards the prophetics (move of the Spirit). A pastor called to shepherd a congregation would be considered prophetic If he pastors under the direction of the Holy Spirit (inspired and Spirit-led), same with the evangelistic and teaching ministries. We then begin to see Prophetic Pastors, Prophetic Evangelists and Teachers. They are so given to the move of the Spirit that sometimes, it might be difficult to see them not as prophets. A prophetic Evangelist would preach the gospel prophetically speaking forth the purpose and the mind of God concerning a person or situation and drawing them unto repentance because the secrets of his heart are being revealed. A prophetic teacher would sometimes teach under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

That is the vision behind this dynamic network.  I do not believe in quantity, but having a group full of people that are inclined to the vision stated. Personally I bring in folks that have the hunger for the word and are given to the move of the Spirit. I usually restrict my invitation to such that would be glad they belonged. I also believe we all belong to different churches, local assemblies and some of us even leaders and ministry founders. This forum is for us all regardless of who we are, to come together as one big family and help one another grow stronger towards our destinies. It is not a replacement for one’s church, but a place where we can be friends and give respect to one another.
