Prophetic Ministries Today

The manifestation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit is a sign from God that He is alive and watching over us. You may have never thought of it this way. I learned this truth from the Holy Spirit. Angels are ministering for us as we operate in these gifts. When you are slain in the spirit it can feel like someone physically pushed you down or clipped you behind the knees. It is an Angel of the Lord that is doing the work of the Holy Spirit. Have you noticed that some ministers demonstrate more of the gifts in their ministry than others? The reason is that they have more angels appointed to them than some of the other ministers. When ministering you begin to recognize the different presence of the various angels. This is one way how we know what gift the Holy Spirit will have you to operate in next. The presence of the ministering spirit that slays people in the Holy Ghost is different from that of the ministering spirit that brings the gift of healings.

There are various gifts and ministry functions imparted by God appointed to different people. One of these functions is the gift of healings, not healing but HEALINGS; it is plural.

"And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues." I Corinthians 12:28

There are angels that have different powers over disease and sickness, just as Gabriel has different powers than Michael.

I have seen people get frustrated and turn from using the gift God has given them. At times they would pray for the sick and they would be healed and other times they would not. Out of frustration they gave it up all together. We are to perfect the gift by using it until we find out the measure of its power. What power does the ministering spirit have that is appointed to you?

To experience the accuracy of any gift you must first find out what your calling is. When you know your calling and begin following its course then you can focus on your gift. Most people want to just move in their gift, but do not have a clue as to what their calling is. If you do not follow your calling, your angel is not obligated to minister for you, hence no manifestation of the gifts. Your calling may be evangelism, teaching faith, hearing God, feeding the poor, helping orphanages or visiting prisoners. Whatever you are called of God to do, He is faithful to endorse it by signs and wonders following after you. However, if we are not willing to do what God has called us to do, He is not bound to send His Angels to minister for us. Once you have clarity of what your calling is, then do it.

But to which of the angels has He ever said, "Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool?" Hebrews 1:13

"Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?" Hebrews 1:14

When dealing with the prophetic, angels are a vital part in seeing the word delivered with power. Angels are sent to signify and clarify what God's purpose is for His people and for the lost. The book of Revelation was given to John by an angel. Prophets of today cannot deny that prophecy, words of knowledge, words of wisdom are given to them in part by angels. To deny that His angels are speaking to us today, would be to say that the Holy Scriptures are a lie.

"The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants; things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John, who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, to all things that he saw. Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near." Revelation 1:1-3

"Then he (the angel) said to me, "These words are faithful and true." And the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things which must shortly take place." Revelation 22:6

"I, Jesus have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star." Revelation 22:16
