Raised in the Wilderness

There are several schisms in the body of Christ, one of which is between prophets and the pastors who try to control them. Raised in the Wilderness: Rogue Reformers, Rallying the Remnant demonstrates why prophets are oftentimes misunderstood and persecuted, to include being treated as wolves in sheep's clothing, even though they are the Lord's sheepdog's to watch over His shepherds and sheep. Many pastors and their congregants are more vulnerable to the enemy's schemes because they have removed the watchmen from the walls, and while the church was sleeping, the enemy crept in and sowed bad seeds amongst the Lord's harvest. Consequently, "...the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the Gospel of God?"
--1 Peter 4:17
