In the coming days, it will be essential that the body of Christ know and understand the dynamics of prophecy, prophets and their purpose and function in the church and world today. As we draw closer to times of darkness and chaos in the world, there will arise many who claim to know God, predict the future, demonstrate great power, and give prophetic words that many long to hear. Some will be Gods true prophetic voices, others will not. It is important that we be able to discern, understand, and deal with prophecy including those that are true, false, and those given by immature people. Rich carefully walks us through the scriptural basis of prophecy, its nature and proper administration, and shows us how to determine the truth about prophecy.

Years ago, there was a prophecy released that God was going to be purifying the prophetic and bringing His messengers to another level in character as well as gifting and anointing. I believe this book is in response to that heart cry. Rich is a father in the prophetic and has mentored many, including myself. He writes from his awareness of our Hebraic roots and so with rare wisdom and experience, shares valuable truths released in love and the spirit of revelation. Wherever you are in your prophetic journey, this book is for you. For those who are ready to go to another level of pleasing God in his or her prophetic gifting and ministries, I say, Congratulations for in this book the commencement begins!
