The "What is the School for Prophecy" video blog explains what the School for Prophecy is and is not, does and does not, follows and doesn't follow. In a punchy five minutes.

To enable biblical prophecy to develop and grow we need a healthy Prophetic Culture. There are three essential features of a biblical Prophetic Culture, Expectation, Encouragement, and Example. I explain their significance and suggest how they could function in a church family.

Intensity is frequently one of the major criticisms of what is referred to as prophetic people. Intensity is a very misunderstood concept and is often mistakenly wielded as a weapon against those seeking to move in prophetic ministry. I will demonstrate and explain, that there are a number of healthy aspects to intensity, as well as the dangerous and harmful consequences. In fact, some are a natural, if not an inevitable, part of prophetic ministry.

Another common criticism of prophetic people is that they are independent, and the popular solution is to invoke accountability. This raises serious questions about what accountability means in practice, and whether it is biblical to single prophetic people out. I will argue that accountability is an inadequate solution to a real problem. There are underlying biblical principles about how the church family should work, that address, deal with, and resolve the presenting problem.

This is an important question because I will claim it keeps around 70% of the church from prophesying. I will analyse and explain the source of the challenge, the issues and biblical principles involved, and a healthy solution for moving forward.

It is a New Covenant requirement that all prophecy should be tested before it is acted upon. Yet it still remains one of the top three areas of misunderstanding and confusion in the wider church. While there is a whole teaching session in our Level 1 Course covering testing, I will explain the core biblical principles and practices involved in testing prophecy.

While prophecy is clearly defined in 1 Corinthians 14:3 as to strengthen, encourage, and comfort, there are some that refer to this as low-level prophecy. This blog explores the underlying issues, identifies the core biblical principles and practices involved and explains the true significance of the biblical definition.

Unfortunately, a common hallmark of a prophetic calling is the experience of pain and disappointment. While not a teaching or guide to inner healing, this blog will provide a practical and biblical framework to help you to understand, process, and resolve pain and disappointment.

This video blog explains five essential but very practical steps you can take to grow your prophetic anointing, regardless of where you are in your journey. While the Holy Spirit determines our gifting, we can maximise its potential and grow in anointing by being intentional. It does also helpfully warn you that character growth is a requirement alongside any gift development.

I am often asked by those in leadership, or those heading up the prophetic, about how to handle particularly difficult characters in their church. While this covers a large subject I do feel many of these situations can be described by the title of this blog "How to Handle OT Prophets in a NT Church. This blog explains the importance of the differences between OT and NT prophecy, the potential character challenges in play, and the impact of the church's prophetic culture if any.

Why does the School for Prophecy have three. training course?
