Description: Do you know that Jehovah, God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, is a God that speaks? Do you know that He is passionate to speak to us today? So how do you hear the voice of God? There are many ways God speaks to us, and one way is through the prophetic calling on the life of another. The problem we face today is that there are many false prophets that are trying to draw a following to themselves, rather than drawing them to the heart of God. In this book John Bevere defines the work of a true prophet, the signs of a false prophet, and how to protect yourself from being led astray by false prophets and false prophetic words. I do not know why some have reviewed the book and said that it lacks scriptural foundation. All of Bevere's works are loaded with scripture, and this book is no exception. John does use examples from his life and the lives of others that he has witnessed, but in each instance these examples are anchored by a scriptural basis. All of John's works have a personal element to them. He uses the trials and situations he has faced or that he has seen others face to explain how he came to the understanding that he is putting on paper or in his message. It is through the trials and afflictions the Christian faces in daily life that we learn more about ourselves and more about God. It was only after Abraham put Isaac on the alter that he came to know God as Jehovah Jireh! It is when we are pressed on all sides, as Paul said, yet remain obedient that we come to a deeper knowledge of God. It is precisely this process that John uses to explain his understanding of the word. Biblical concepts can sometimes be difficult to understand, but a good minister can take examples from lives he has witnessed and use them to illustrate a point made in the Word. This is nothing new, as preachers as far back as Enoch have been doing this very thing. The truth of God's Word is eternal, but it is most powerful when demonstrated in the lives of people. This is why the Word of God includes so many historical accounts of men like David and Saul, Samson, Abraham, etc. It is to show the revelation of God's glory and the truth of His Word through their lives. It is written in Hosea "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge". This book will help you to understand why people are led astray and how to avoid being led astray yourself. The book should also inspire in you a desire to intimately know God! It is when we are close to Him and obedient to His will that we find true joy and happiness, and divine protection from error!

Details: John has written a very important book for those that walk in the prophetic rhealm. It is a book that is a must read for any who either have recieved "Words of prophesy" or have given them. I read this book shortly after John wrote it and have either recommended it or given it to many others. It's one of those books that I could read numerous times and continue to see new things. |

Review Summary: Prophets Beware! |

Details: This is a wonderful book. I am so glad that I read it. It really explains in depth what a prophets real purpose is. It also gives you insight into what a prophets real call and purpose is to the church, the nation, and the common person. I believe it will be harder to fall under the influence of someone calling himself a prophet, and giving me false prophecy. I think I am better aware of the downside of people portraying themselves as prophets and leading someone down a wrong path that can cause major destruction to their lives. I am better for reading it! |

Review Summary: One of Bevere's best |
Date: 2004-11-17 |

Details: This is an excellent and balanced practical treatment of modern day prophecy in the church. Those who would disagree should take a close look at the prophetic ministries that have shipwrecked through considering themselves somehow above accountability and the scriptures (due to possessing higher revelation).
It is normal and natural for the christian to desire to see the working and power of God in our lives. The problem comes from desiring the power without pursuing the godly character that would allow us to walk as Paul walked.
A ministry that purports to overflow with power and gifts of the Spirit that doesn't also overflow with the fruit of the Spirit (peace, love, joy, humility etc.) should be viewed with caution. Add to that a flamboyant and conspicuous lifestyle and the alarm bells should start to ring.
Paul warned us of false christs, prophets and ministers, John warned us, even our Lord Jesus warned us--why waste the space and time in scripture if it wasn't really a concern to the church?
BOTTOMLINE questions to ask concerning a ministry/minister: 1) Who are they serving, God or mammon (wealth)? and 2) What kind of fruit are they producing (character, not works). |
