Description
"Pursue love, and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy." So said the apostle Paul. Michael Eaton argues that there is a kind of preaching that is a sub-section of the gift of prophecy, and that the balance of love plus the gift of prophetic preaching is the greatest need of the Church of the 21st Century.
Sharply differentiating prophecy from teaching or lecturing, Eaton describes the gift, shows how it will work at its best where there is a thorough grasp of the Bible, and points the way to finding the spiritual power that is needed.
