Eat the Word, Speak the Word: Exercising a Bible-Based Prophetic Ministry

We are all familiar with Bible teachers whose knowledge fails to translate into vision, action, or understanding. Conversely, there are teachers whose prophetic gift is considerable-but their grip on Scripture is weak. Christians are easily misled, becoming "prophet hunters rather than God chasers," as Rachel puts it. However, a good Bible teacher, honed by meditation on the Word to be alert to the Spirit's leading, is truly worth hearing. This balanced approach is a foundational element of Christian ministry.
