The prophet's dictionary guide to the supernatural

Prophetic teaching easily facilitates an understanding of the immaterial side of creation as it manifests itself in our world. Besides that, prophetic teaching grasps spontaneously from the spirit world how God did and does what He does.

Prophets can find themselves victims of harsh retaliatory measures up to and including lost opportunities that negatively affect their income. Isolation from peers and colleagues who are convinced by slander and tales of imagined or perceived injurious prophecies can also occur. People offended by the word of the Lord from the prophet’s mouth attempt to shield themselves from the word’s fulfillment by amassing a force of avengers to condemn the prophet and vindicate themselves.
