THE GIFT OF PROPHECY — Begins January 16
THURSDAYS 7 pm: Minister Deena Anand. The operation of the gift of prophecy is encouraged by Peter (I Peter 4:11), and Paul says that it is within the potential of every believer (I Cor. 14:31). There are specific guidelines for the operation of this gift, as with all gifts of the Holy Spirit, to ensure that one gift does not supplant the exercise of others or usurp the authority of spiritual leadership. Further, all such prophecy is subordinated to the plumbline of God's eternal Word, the Bible, the standard by which all prophetic utterance in the Church is to be judged. (I Cor. 14:26-33; Eph. 1:17-19; 2 Pet. 1:16-19).
