ENDORSEMENTS
The prophetic ministry is intriguing to all and a mystery to most. Perhaps because we are drawn to its uniqueness and those who operate in this dimension. Also, because most who operate in the prophetic are not able to demystify it by definition or include us in their journey. Prophet Rob Sanchez has done us a favor and a great service by allowing us into his life and journey with accuracy and precision. All who read Discovering and Releasing Your Prophetic Voice will see, hear, and function more clearly.

Discovering and Releasing Your Prophetic Voice encapsulates a level of revelational insight that can only be acquired by one who has walked, stumbled, and run with the prophetic mantle. Prophet Rob has allowed the various seasons that come with such a lifestyle to sharpen the wisdom and knowledge produced from such a mantle. I highly recommend Discovering and Releasing Your Prophetic Voice to anyone with a desire to embark on their own prophetic journey as God develops and sharpens the gift within them.

The prophetic ministry is one shrouded with intrigue and mystery. Rob Sanchez has the unique ability to unlock the mystery of prophetic ministry through practical application. It takes a special prophetic mantle to help others see prophetic potential and learn how to unlock it. Rob is uniquely called and gifted to do just that. Discovering and Releasing Your Prophetic Voice is something I would recommend to everyone.

Prophet Rob Sanchez is a dear friend of mine who has given me an incalculable number of prophetic words that have all been very good and encouraging to my life. Jeremiah 1:5 says, Before I formed you in the womb I knew you I ordained you a prophet to the nations. I believe this verse describes Rob; he is a prophetic voice who is making an impact. This book, Discovering and Releasing Your Prophetic Voice, will provide limitless blessings for those who read it. He brings heaven to earth and encourages us to shift our mindset and have a heavenly perspective.

FOREWORD
The prophet is a spiritual leader, one who declares the oracles of God. Indeed, the prophet is a gift to the Church.
Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip Gods people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ (Ephesians 4:11-12, NLT).
The Scripture clearly teaches that the office of the prophet, along with the other leadership offices, comes with a heavy weight of responsibility, a mandate to properly equip Gods people. To be a prophet of God is a divine calling, a heavenly assignment.
In addition to the prophetic office, God has also graced His Church with believers who operate in prophetic gifts.
He gives one person the power to perform miracles, and another the ability to prophesy (1 Corinthians 12:10, NLT).
Together, both the operation and the office of the prophetic work to guide, lead, encourage, comfort, and edify Gods people.
But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort (1 Corinthians 14:3, KJV).
Whether youre called to carry the influence and leadership authority that come with the office of the prophet or you desire to operate in a prophetic gift, you desire a good thing. And the very fact that you are reading this book on the prophetic is an indicator that you have a spiritual hunger for the glorious working that is prophetic ministry.
Now, among all of the five office gifts mentioned in the book of Ephesians, perhaps the most often criticized and most intensely scrutinized is the office of the prophet.
Certainly, in the world of the prophetic, there have been abuses. There have been issues. There have been fakes. And there have been those who were prematurely released into ministry. Social media can provide a platform to anyone who wants it, whether or not they have gone through the spiritual process of maturing. Anyone can claim a title. Anyone can skip the process. Anyone can claim to be prophetic.
Many apply psychology and call it discernment. Some practice cold reading and call it the word of knowledge. And others make guesses about the future and call it prophecy. Life coaching and commercialization have polluted the prophetic. No doubt, there are frauds who flood our social media time lines, televisions, and pulpits. They prophesy from their imaginations.
Then this message came to me from the LORD: Son of man, prophesy against the false prophets of Israel who are inventing their own prophecies. Say to them, Listen to the word of the LORD. This is what the Sovereign LORD says: What sorrow awaits the false prophets who are following their own imaginations and have seen nothing at all!
