EP 124: Prophetic Ministry in the Church, Part Two May 14, 2019

Show notes

Are all prophecies valid? What should leaders do with people who claim to speak for God but interrupt or behave contrary to your standards? What are ways we can promote legitimate prophetic ministry without yielding to people who don't manifest the character of Christ? Today, we talk about prophetic protocols of leaders in the church. This is part two from a seminar conducted for 60 regional leaders.

Howard Renker is currently the Sr. Pastor (soon to retire) at Bethel Christian Church. Together with his staff, Bethel has been at the forefront of steering legitimate prophetic ministry toward the building up of the church for many years.
