PUBLIC MINISTRY PROTOCOL- A.W.N. PROPHETIC
The bible says- He who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men. (1 Cor. 14:3)
1. Edification: Building up people by giving confirmation that brings them hope or focus. A common way to do this is by giving them a Scripture that has been important to them or by confirming their ministry calling (evangelist, school teacher, marketplace, etc.).
2. Exhortation: calling people to persevere in their ministry calling or promises, etc.
3. Comfort: speaks of giving God’s perspective in a time of difficulty or uncertainty
You may have ministers complete simple forms or statements like below.
I agree that when ministering publicly the word must fall within these three categories, unless given prior permission by senior leader. Only those authorized as holding the Office of the Prophet are given any form of correction after approval from Pastor or set leader. Name_______________Signature____________________________________
Failure to comply with the above statements will lead to written and or verbal warnings or removal from team_______
aul taught that prophets could control their spirit instead of claiming that they “could not help” what they did. One of the fruits of the Spirit is self-control (Gal. 5:22-23).
Let two or three prophets speak… If anything is revealed to another…let the first keep silent…The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. God is not the author of confusion but of peace… Let all things be done decently and in order. (1 Cor. 14:29-33, 40). I agree to that my prophecy can and will be judged by senior leaders___________
Basic Rules for Public Prophecy Teams
(All MINISTER MUST OPERATE WITHIN A TEAM SETTING)
NO DEMANDING TO SPEAK. I AGREE I MAY BE DISALLOWED TO MINISTER AT LEADERS DISCRECTION______________
E. We must not prophesy in a way that flatters people (to gain an advantage from them), corrects or embarrasses them. A common example of this is in labeling someone as having a Jezebel spirit. ________________
F. We prophesy in the light with witnesses (recording it when possible). ALWAYS WILL LEADER PRESENT ________
G. Do not speak of promotion or change in a ministry organization without going through the proper protocols or those warning you about how specific people will mistreat you. __________________
H. Do not omit the conditions or qualifiers when giving promises. Prophecies are often conditional. They are invitations not guarantees. They require confirmation, prayer, obedience and hard work. ___________________
I. Most negative prophecy gives insight into Satan’s intentions. We assure them that repentance, faith, and obedience can stop Satan’s desire for destruction in someone’s life. ____________________________________
