The School of the Prophets: Teacher's Manual

The School of the Prophets has been written for the purpose of helping the body of Christ understand ministry in light of God's end-time purpose for prophets, prophecy and prophetic ministry. In School of the Prophets we will explore the ministry of the prophet in the Old and New Testament. There will be an emphasis on training, teaching and activating what the Holy Spirit has place within every believer in their gifted place of prophetic ministry. The importance of this subject is seen in Numbers 11:29 when Moses said, "would God that all the LORD's people were prophets, and that the Lord would put his spirit upon them!" It is the heart of God that all spiritual leaders aspire to train, instruct and activate their congregation to hear, perceive, discern and speak forth the mind of the Holy Spirit. Many years later the prophet Joel prophesied of the present hour in which we live when the congregation of the Lord consisting of Jews and Gentiles would be a prophetic people. They would be characterized as having divine ability by the outpouring of the Holy Spirit to see and speak God's viewpoint into earthly matters. The School of the Prophets will not make one a prophet, nor will it give the ability to prophesy the direct word of the Lord. It will bring understanding as to how to release the prophetic word of the Lord through the anointing with excellence, grace, character and divine order in the spirit of true humility.
