Introduction to Part 1

DIRECTION - Why do we have the gifts and

what is their goal in the local church?

DISTINCTION - What are the

differences between the gifts?

In order to manage growth of any kind, there must be a process. As leaders, we must lean on the Holy Spirit to provide insight and wisdom to understand where the church has been, know where it currently abides, and have faith for where we need to lead it. I’ve sought to interweave the 5-step process of growing prophetic ministry (DIRECTION, DISTINCTION, DISCERNMENT, DISCIPLESHIP, and DEVELOPMENT) with each part of this book to simplify and manage expectations.

This first section will provide a biblical DIRECTION, or mission, for us to pursue, and along the way, we hope to make some key DISTINCTIONS that are designed to overcome objections and issues that arise when talking about this gift and its administration in the mission of prophecy.
