GIFT OF PROPHETIC PREACHING THE PB

The apostle Paul urged us to, 'Pursue love, and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy.' Michael Eaton argues that there is a kind of preaching which is a 'sub-section' of the gift of prophecy and that the balance between love plus the gift of prophetic preaching is the greatest need of the 21st Century Church. Sharply differentiating prophetic preaching from biblical teaching or lecturing, the author describes the characteristics of the gift and shows that it will work at its best where a thorough grasp of the Bible is coupled with spiritual power. Topics covered include: * How God speaks through chosen people * The marks of true preaching * Evangelistic preaching * How Jesus was trained * How Jesus trained the apostles * The ministry of the prophetic preacher
