Insightful

The author tells of his own journey away from "prophetic chaos" toward a clearer understanding of God's order. Out of this experience he conveys insights beneficial for the development of prophetic ministry in the church today.

Steering the prophetic the right way ..!

This is a prophetic package when unfold reveals the heart of Mike Bickle who longs to see the powerhouse of the prophetic movement balance between sound teaching and action application. For someone who does not profess to be prophetic, Mike owes a lot of his experiences to the surrounding osmosis from his prophetic company.This book is basically an oasis of Mike's experience. The substance of the content is exceptionally rare as understanding the prophetic requires us to move beyond the corral of theology knowledge. It takes a good drill of application experiences to appreciate the positive effects and avoid the abuse of the prophetic. Through a host of honest trials and overt errors, the making of "Growing in the prophetic" is realized for our benefit.By reading this book, you will find out that when teachings steep to the taste of high flying individuals, prophetic ministry will turn volatile and can potentially burst into a host of damaging effects. Mike Bickle is here to firm up the prophetic application based on truthful and biblical teaching. One of the immediate requisition of the prophetic is the admission of strong kinship relationship and constant accountability. Such requirement is foundational and creates boundary of peace, joy and covering for those who operate in this calling. However when individuals choose to walk out of such privileged dimension, the light of God dims slowly, susceptibility to all kinds of weird and strange acts are bound to manifest and latch on them. You will discover moving into the prophetic is actually a maturation process which can be measured by different levels of gifting. I appreciated the way Mike punctuated each teaching with life examples. Paul Cain, Bob Jones and others powerful prophetic figures are included as additives to his examples because of their reputed ministries and global recognitions. I thank Mike for his honesty. It's people like him we can steer the prophetic ministry into great usage and reap powerful results that God intended it to be. I am sure Mike Bickle has more to say about the prophetic since this book was first released ...

a must read

A must read for every Christian, whether you consider yourself a prophetic person or not. Mike Bickle and Michael Sullivant offers valuable insights and lots of wisdom from their years in pastoring the prophetic. It is easy to read and the stories are funny. It has helped me tremendously in my own walk with God as well as helping others in the church.

A sobering review of the prophetic service in the church

Rarely have I read a book that leads me to describe it as sobering. Yet, Mike Bickle does more the deserve it. Just pointing out how to use the prophetic within the church - and how not to use it. Paul has given us a great rule, when saying that we shouldn't patronize the prophetic, but Mike Bickle puts the word into a very Biblical and easy to understand setting, so that anyone can understand what he is talking about. Since Bickle has been the pastor of a church where the prophetic has been allowed to grow for several years - with both good and bad sides to it, this book shows, as mentioned above, a very sober attitude. I will gladly recommend the book by all of my heart. PS! I've read the book in Norwegian..., and recommend it to Norwegian Readers as well
