7 Kingdom Principles to Guide Prophetic Communities by Kris Valloton

We are living in the end-time harvest where God is showcasing His power to all nations. With this in mind, let us be in tuned to what God is doing and become aware of the principles and pitfalls of moving into the prophetic. Have an open-mind when you read on what Kris has to say on simple principles we can agree on as we restore the prophetic movement in its fullness.

Back in 2013 when I ministered together with the team in Iloilo City

I have been training people in prophetic ministry for 25 years. I love teaching everyday believers how to hear God and walk in power.But about 12 years ago, I began to be stirred in my spirit to see prophets and prophetesses discovered, developed and deployed into every realm of society. I am passionate about developing a global prophetic community that collaborates, communicates and has a deep sense of true accountability. This would facilitate several key kingdom values:

1. It would restore credibility back to the office of the prophet.

2. It would create a platform for collective revelation. We each see in part, but together we have a more complete perspective.

3. It would build a relational structure that would end the isolation that seems to plague the office of the prophet.

4. It would help to create some core scriptural understanding and possibly some consensus to the New Testament role of the prophet and prophetess, including their purpose and their protocol.

5. It would become a vehicle for prophets to learn and grow.

6. It would create a platform where more mature prophets and prophetesses could evaluate the prophetic words that are released through the prophetic community. This would help define boundaries, as well as facilitate interpretation and application.

7. It would also give prophetic leaders keys to help them shepherd the prophets in their metron.

There are many more benefits than these, but you get the idea.This passion to see a thriving prophetic community led Dan McCollam and me to found a School of the Prophets 12 years ago.

Every year we gather prophetesses and prophets from around the world for five days of community, training, teaching and connection. We gather 300-500 prophets, prophetesses and the people who lead them, to grow their prophetic connections, expand their leadership gifts and learn how to cultivate their prophetic communities. For the original article, visit krisvallotton.com.
