New Covenant Prophecy (3) Describing Consequences

Instead of announcing judgments, Christians prophets should be explaining what is happening in the spiritual realms and warning of the consequences amongst the nations of the earth. They should not take delight in this task, but should be sad about the avoidable pain and suffering that will eventuate if hearts don’t change.

Prophets who are called to speak to their city or nations should be discerning the seasons and warning about the decisions that people and their leaders are making.

  • They should explain what is happening in the nation.

  • They should describe the choices that the people have.

  • They should be describing what will occur if the city or nation continues on its current path.

  • They should be describing the change of season if that is occurring.

  • They should be describing what the spiritual powers of evil are planning to do.

  • They should be telling the leaders what they need to do to bring a change of direction.

  • They should be speaking to the people of God and telling them what they can do to help their city or nation turn back to the right path.

  • They should be teaching the people of God how they can survive as a remnant if their city or nation continues down the wrong path.

At times, their message will not be positive and encouraging. Sometimes it will be scary, but they should always be providing hope by explaining what God wants his people to do to restore the situation.
