Doing the Prophetic Under a Spiritual Covering
Many people who are not mature in the prophetic or gifted with the wisdom of God think that a prophet is above a pastor and therefore they need not submit to their pastor and in fact their pastor has to do what they say.
People with a prophetic anointing who think this is true remain rebellious and will not mature into a prophet in the office until they humble themselves and become submitted to proper spiritual authority.
There is a book called "Under Cover by John Bevere that was a serious rebuke to me when I read it.
In that book I came to realize that I was a prideful and rebellious trainee prophet and I needed to pull my head in and submit with devotion and loyalty to my pastor.
Without reading that book I am not sure if my thick head would have ever got it.
Time and time again in scripture if you have a close look the people of God that cam into leadership for God were first mentored by a more experienced person.
Moses had the pharaoh, Joshua had Moses, Elisha had Elijah and so it went.
To become mighty in the ways of God it is a spiritual principle that we need to come under the authority and covering of another mature saint.
A prophet is a powerful part of the body of Christ.
A full blown prophet that is mature and starting to do ministry on a regular basis is a very dangerous person to Satan and Satan will do anything to destroy this powerful warrior in the Lord's army.
One of the major ways prophets are delayed from reaching spiritual maturity is that they drift from church to church, they gossip, they are puffed up with pride and a "I know it all attitude" and they take a very long time to settle down in a church, become stable and submit themselves to a pastor.
Wrongly they assume because that have a "deeper" knowledge of the Bible and a "higher anointing" that pastors are lesser people, and pastors have nothing to offer them.
Yet the opposite is the truth.
Pastors are shepherds and are well versed in healing broken and rejected hearts with the power and wisdom of God and no one needs his heart being healed more then a young prophet in training.
If you are prophetic and you are reading this, pick a church that you want to settle down in and attend every service each week and get busy helping your pastor in any way you can.
Ask the pastor to disciple you and to help you heal your pain and humble yourself and wait for Jesus to use you in a mighty way.
I pray this has helped you.
