The Business of Prophet-Making
View all responsesJesus as a boy said that He needed to be about His Father’s business. He was referring to completely surrendering to and obeying God the Father. Sound’s crazy, doesn’t it?
Christ’s business plan was prophet-making. He took common uneducated people and transformed them into prophetic men and women who listened to and obeyed God’s Spirit. Then by His living presence in them they “turned the world upside down.”
Contemporary Christianity should be about the Father’s prophet-making business. The Bible says, “You can all prophesy.” When people see Spirit-led action they become aware of Jesus. Be their light. Do what the Spirit prompts.
Jesus calls people into Spirit-prompted action which transforms them from being mere hearers of God’s word into doers of the word and demonstrators of His righteousness, His presence, and His love. That thirst deep inside you is for the living water of God’s Spirit. Come to Jesus and drink! Read the Bible, ask yourself: “Am I willing to let these words touch my heart?
A good travel lecture
Should inspire
An inner desire
For people to experience
The things described.
A good sermon
Should too.
Depending on
Someone to analyze
The Bible for you
Week after week,
Can paralyze
Your ability to hear
Directly from Jesus.
Read and devour it
And continually
Savor it in your heart
And you will start
To soar in God’s Spirit.
Christians need to meet
To put God’s Word
Into action
Not just to watch
A religious attraction.
Too much analysis
Creates the crisis
Of internal paralysis.
