A area of concern to the Lord Jesus, is the “Ministry of the Prophets”, in that certain basic principles and concepts of the Prophets (chosen prophets) ordained and established by God, quite clearly is still misunderstood. When one does not realize or understand the purpose of a thing (then the thing of concern) is more likely to be treated unfairly, misused, and abused 2Chr 36.12-16. It was Jesus, the Prophet of Nazareth, Mt 21.11, who stated that a Prophet is not without honor, except in his own country and in his own house. Mt 13.57.
Is it not the citizen prophets of the Kingdom of God, who will again help to prepare through reformation, the way of the coming of the King? (for reference, see page 87).Heb 9.10.
And saying, repent ye for the kingdom of heaven is a hand…prepare ye
the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. Mt 3.1-3, Mt 11.10.Lk 1.76
Principle concept: Clearly scripture states that God will do nothing except he first reveal
It to his prophets. Amos 3.7. He has been speaking from the mouth of the prophets since the world began. Lk 1.70.
Whether the citizen prophets of the Kingdom of God are already among you (resident), or the Lord sets them in the house, Cor 12, or sends them in, it is still very biblical to understand that when they speak, they are not only to be obedient in matters of the Lord and King, but they are under “Authority”! THEY ARE UNDER AUTHORITY”!
They are under authority Pastor. God is a great King, above all gods Ps 95.3.
THE KINGS AUTHORITY IS SOVEREIGN !
Sovereign means that the Kings authority is supreme in power and rank. He is Chief (the Head). HE IS ABOVE ALL OTHERS !
HE IS INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER AUTHORITIES !
He is King, he does not have to get permission or authority from any overseer, or leader.
Kings do not get authority, they give authority! The King does not receive authority from those that he has appointed to be in charge of his house (like Moses-Num 12.3).
A King gives the command. Kings don’t have checks and balances. Kings rule. They direct – they put you on course, point you in a direction; guide you by instruction, counsel, and orders, then they supervise the work they gave you to do, then they regulate you, or check you to see if you are taking heed to the Kings authority, commands, and instruction, etc., according to the rules, guidelines in his word.(written or sent) A King is his word !

On November 14, 2003, I was instructed of the Lord to write on my church experience, my call, and service to the Lord.
Like the Holy Spirit, Prophets are an important aspect and key to God re-establishing and extending his heavenly Kingdom, and government to the earth. Even though, we have scriptures in the bible regarding the prophets, like:
Wherefore, behold I send unto you Prophets and wise men and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify..and….scourge in your synagogue and prosecute from city to city. Mt 23.34.
This does not mean that this was the intent of the author of the bible (God). Nor is there
scripture to support, that this is the way to treat Prophets, who are also citizens of the Kingdom of God. If your concepts and principles of a Prophet are wrong, then any conclusions you make regarding the Prophet will be wrong. So then having the correct concepts and principles of a thing is more important than words, because if you do not correctly communicate the right concepts and principles, then those who are receiving the information will also conclude the wrong results. Therefore, we must approach the bible from a Kingdom perspective.
Jesus said, think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the Prophets, but to fulfill it.
