The prophetic flows in three different levels, this includes the Spirit of prophecy, the gift of prophecy, and the office [ascension gift] of the prophet. All believers have been given the ability to prophesy, however, according to John Eckhardt in one of his classics on the prophetic, God Still Speaks, “the highest level in the prophetic realm is the office of the prophet” (1).

Our adherence to their instruction is highly important, because prophets “have the grace to speak messages that go beyond words of edification, exhortation, and comfort,” addressing matters of “revelation, direction, correction, confirmation, impartation, and activation” too (2)From this we can attest, it is wise for us to strongly weigh the words of a prophet. We should never despise prophecy and be sure to test all things too (3)

Keep these things in mind as you watch this super short teaching by John Eckhardt. In it, he examines the life of King Asa. He was Judah’s third king. A civil war had divided the unified monarchy of Israel, resulting in the birth of two nations; the northern kingdom, Israel, and the Southern kingdom, Judah (4). King Asa ruled Judah in peace for 35 years before the longstanding enmity with Israel reached a boiling point (5).

In this message, you’ll hear how King Asa’s reprehensible attitude towards prophecy sealed his fate and impacted his life to the point of death. The prophetic implication for you is that your attitude and reception of authentic prophecy can lead to an unhealthy walk with God and spiritual death. 

Believe in the Lord your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper.

John Eckhardt is the overseer of Crusaders Ministries in Chicago, IL, the founder of IMPACT Network, and the spiritual father of many. He is an internationally acclaimed speaker and has ministered in over 70 nations. He is also a very prominent author, with well over 40 books under his writing belt, including best-sellers, “Prayers that Rout Demons” and “Prayers that Break Curses.”

Destroying the Spirit of Rejection” is Eckhardt’s latest work. This subject couldn’t be any more universal because we’ve all experienced the heinous sting of rejection, either as the accuser or the abuser. This subject also couldn’t be more prevalent to the body of Christ because many are living with the unhealed scars of rejection and wounding others. Lastly, this subject couldn’t be more timely, because rejection divides and the church can no longer afford to be divided due to rejection issues.  

The world needs us.
