The prophet's handbook

anointing also gives them revelation into certain illnesses and their causes. Revelations, of course, come with wisdom to instruct the sufferer on how to treat the problem. This is not medical care or therapy, although health professionals can surely be among this prophetic class. It is God’s omniscience applied to the area of health in an effort to stay the onset of sickness and disease, because many illnesses have spiritual roots that can be treated by the inclusion of spiritual insight and prophetic astuteness. This ability works powerfully with all types of health care providers. When the prophet is not in the medical field, then it is through prayer and intercession that these work. However, as our Savior showed us, people who are healed should still show themselves to a physician. The Societal Realm is where the prophet has a strong leaning toward the social services. Helping to deliver souls enslaved to drugs, alcoholism, deprivation, and neglect is what he or she is inclined to do. These prophets have strong deliverance features attached to their ministries.

These groups may be men only, women only, single parents, youth, recovering addicts, divorced people, or professionals. They may be suited to any category of human culture. These prophets have a special tenderness toward those of their designated group and may engage in or sponsor a variety of programs to meet their needs or prepare others to do so. The Ecclesiastical Realm is the realm of church authority. Prophets in this realm deal primarily with churches and are adept at interpreting right conduct, proper behavior (that which sanctifies), and the characteristics of holiness as they pertain to the church at large or individuals in particular. They are strong in doctrine and tend to be highly scholastic theologians. Ordinarily stern in their preaching, this prophetic class is skilled at fusing teaching with prophecy. They are strong in revelation of the Scriptures, and the talents and abilities of these
