Where Ae The Prophets?




            God has set prophets in local churches to help guide and mature the saints. 

And He gave some apostles; and some, prophets; and some evangelist; and some, pastors and teachers;
        For the perfecting of the saints for the work of the ministry for the edifying of the body of Christ,
        Till we all come in the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;
        That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, by which they lie in wait to deceive.
Ephesians 4:11-14

But, where are they?  How has sin gained such a prominent place in the lives of the saints, in the lives of the pastors and church leadership?  Where are the prophets that see the sin coming and sound the alarm to that particular local body?

Prophets provide direction to local churches. They provide a biblical standard for the body of Christ. Where are the prophets that provide the righteous standard for their particular local body?  Are they in hiding? Are they running from their call?  Regardless of the answer, I CALL THEM OUT OF DARKNESS AND INTO THE LIGHT OF THEIR CALL, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
