I am asking: Where are the prophets?
What do you need a prophet for? I understand why the early church needed them, and in the sense of a proclaimer of God’s word, we need them now.
That is why I mentioned ‘1st Apostles, 2nd Prophets, 3rd Teachers’...the Apostles were undoubtedly first in the church’s need. Then prophets, since the NT wasn’t written. And then teachers...
Now, in the sense of gifts, I don’t doubt some still are given prophecies. As I’ve mentioned before, in my experience, it is usually someone known for their close walk with God who brings up concerns involving purchases, someone’s motives, etc.
But a wandering Prophet, to proclaim God? How does that differ from a Preacher? Unless, of course, he gives specific prophecies about the future - which, as I’ve said, I have seen before and they have invariably been wrong.
Where are YOUR prophets? Did Isaiah operate in secret? Did Elijah act in private? Where are YOURS?
Who do YOU believe is currently a Prophet of God, ministering to the world today?
