FYI: online school

I am looking into finishing my degree online and went to check out Christian Leadership University with Mark Vickler.  I was looking at their curriculum involving prophecy and found the following:

Prophets

are one of the gifts that Christ gave to His church to help prepare and equip believers to serve and to build the Body of Christ. The gift of prophecy appears in all three lists of spiritual gifts in the New
Testament. Prophecy is God’s idea.



Prophecy involves

hearing what God is saying and seeing what He is doing, then declaring and interpreting that in order to instruct, comfort, encourage and stimulate God’s people. Obviously, then, the prophetic ministry must begin with an intimate relationship with the Lord in which the prophet clearly and consistently hears God’s voice



Since God’s 

current, spoken rhema words will never contradict His eternal, written Logos Word, it is imperative that the prophet have deep, living knowledge of the whole counsel of God as revealed throughout the Scriptures.

He must speak 

out of the Holy Spirit Who lives within his spirit and flow with the anointing, so an understanding of these skills will be explored.



The prophet 

is just one member of this group of gifts that was given to the Church, so the relationship between the various gifts and roles will be examined.



There is more than one way 

for the prophetic call to be released, and the Lord wants to use all of the uniqueness that is “you” to express and reveal Himself, His character and His love to His people.

I found this to be very exciting.
