Prophets of The City
There
are prophets of networks, prophets of nations, international prophets,
Household prophets, Local Church Prophets, prophets of movements,
regional prophets, city prophets, and etc. You need to know your place
of your prophetic ministry.
What we are going to see are prophets of the City arise in numbers in many cities around the world. Prophets are watchmen of the city and apostles are gatekeepers of the city, and we need them both.
As these prophets began to arise, they will speak and minister to the
city at large. They will minister to the ministers in the city; they
will minister to the body of the Christ in the city. They speak life of
church and life of the city. They will minister to the city.
These
prophets of the city will lead in prayer, deliverance, warfare,
revival, reformation, vision for the city and the city church. In this,
apostles and prophets will carry roles in foundational, revelational,
impartional, reformation, and revival. City Prophets will move in areas
of prophetic leading in the kinds of prophetic ministry that the body of
Christ have for the city, such has areas of holiness and purely.
Prophets
of the city will gather and minister to prophets in the city and form a
city company of prophets networked with apostles of the city church.
Prophets of the city will form their own city school for the prophets
with connection to city apostles and city church.
