Foreword

A new generation of soaring prophetic eagles is now here among us. These risk-taking believers in the Lord Jesus Christ are not somewhere out there in the far distant futurethey are with us now.

Kris Vallotton and his crew at Bethel Churchs School of the Supernatural in Redding, California, seem to be leading the way! They have the highest level of impartation of any school of the supernatural that I know of anywhere today. Yes, thats right!

This generation of radical warriors is cut from a cloth different from my generation. We came from religion and learned the supernatural. But this generation is birthed in the supernatural and is soaring high in the things of God at an early age.

Wowso where does that leave those in my generation? Are we left to be the bystanders just applauding the exploits of the new Joshuas and Calebs? Absolutely not! There are new vistas for us each. In fact, I tell some of my students, You are going to have to run fast to catch me cause Im about to catch my second (or third) wind and I will outrun you all! I think you get my drift.

Let me drive home my point by telling you one of my wifes many significant dreams. There was a line of men and women all standing neatly in a rowmy wife, Michal Ann, was positioned there among them. An invitation was given by the Holy Spirit for fathers and mothers in the prophetic to step forward. In the dream, all of the others took a step backward so it appeared as though Michal Ann had just volunteered. Then a strong gust of wind hit her from behind and flung her even farther forward.

She was awakened out of the dream knowing somehow that she had just been chosen, or had volunteered with help, to be a mother of the prophetic in her generation. It has been amazing to watch what the Lord has done with this once withdrawn dear lady who has been thrust to the front of Gods prophetic compassion army. If it could happen to Michal Ann and James W. Gollit can happen to anyone! RememberHe is not a respecter of persons. He is looking for fresh volunteers at all times. There is room in His army for you!

That is what the manual you hold in your hands is aboutBasic Training for the Prophetic Ministry. It is one of Gods tools for this time and day, written from the trenches of great experience. My friend, Kris Vallotton, is one of the fathers in the making. Yes, there are many fathers and mothers who are volunteering to raise up the voice of the Lord.

Want to join them? Then tear apart this book. Lean in and learn all you can. Then take your hands out of your pockets, get your feet outside of the four walls of your church and home, open wide your mouth, and let the Holy Spirit fill it. Do something for Jesus sake!

This manual is a call for passionate, consecrated warriors to arise. Therefore, it is with deep admiration and joy that I have the privilege of commending this training guide to you. Join Kris and I and a new breed generation who are learning to fly high in the things of the Holy Spirit and take others with them. Volunteer freely in the day of His power and join His call to war!

This book was not written to be the final word on prophetic ministry. The goal was to help develop and facilitate prophetic communities. In addition to teaching how to minister prophetically, I also share a prospective that promotes a healthy community of believers. Therefore, I have intentionally emphasized instruction, which will assist leaders in shepherding the prophetic people of their communities.

With this in mind, there are thought-provoking questions and a Life Application section at the end of each chapter. The answers to the Questions to Ponder are found within the chapters. The Group Discussions Questions are not directly answered in the chapters, but are to provoke thought and stimulate discussion. We often learn more through our own discovery than we do from someone elses teaching. These questions should help facilitate the discovery process.

The purpose of the Life Application section is to help you get past the obstacles that keep you from moving ahead in the prophetic ministry. There are also ideas about how to practically apply what you are learning.

My earnest prayer is that every Christian who reads this book will be drawn closer to God, and will join us in destroying the works of the devil.

Let the journey begin!

In the days of the prophet Elijah, there arose a company of men who were called the sons of the prophets. These men traveled throughout the world ravaging the powers of darkness, wreaking havoc on evil kingdoms. They had no tolerance for the destructive behavior of wicked kings but rather turned many to righteousness. They raised the dead, healed the sick, parted rivers, destroyed false prophets, and saw revival spread throughout their land. They were feared by many and respected by all. They walked in great purity; and God was their friend.

Today, all around us, wickedness continues to grow, taking root in the lives of those we love and eroding the very foundation of our country. Satanism is spreading like wildfire. Psychics laugh in the face of the church as they demonstrate the power of the dark side. Divorce is destroying our families and violence is corrupting our children. Sickness and diseases take the lives of so many. Yet the words of our Lord Jesus echo through the halls of history, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father (John 14:12).

In Acts 3:25, Peter says, It is you who are the sons of the prophets.
