One-third of the Bible is framed with stories about people hearing God and the amazing outcomes and benefits of their relational journeys with Him. Why would the Bible be so focused on the role of prophecy and prophets if this powerful toolset wasn’t still available today? And if these gifts are available, how can we practically administer these supernatural occurrences into our very real lives? Is it possible?
Prophecy is not just about hearing God’s voice but administering God’s will in every area of life. Much of the prophetic today is elusive and unapproachable, but practical tools of healthy theology are changing our options, and this book can bring about your personal, experiential, and theological reformation on prophecy. Let’s do this!

There are many varieties of gift, ministry and effects. No one prophet does it all. However, true prophets are by definition explores, pioneers, warriors, champions and game changers in their particular field of expression. In the Old Testament, we see a prophetic concentration of the gift largely in a single people group. In the New Testament, there is a prophetic distribution across the planet. How we would prophesy in Africa is different to Asia and contrasting again throughout Europe. It is vital, then, that people we are mentoring have access to a broad example-based learning that describes, defines and delineates the required identity, personality and spiritual growth required to be both tested and proven in this unique ministry.
To this end, Shawn’s book will empower every student of the prophetic to determine their field of expression, level of authority, and the requirements of gift, ministry and office as a prophetic voice.

With authentic love and humility, Modern Prophets seeks to encourage, teach, and empower the church to manifest the love of God on Earth through prophecy. This book is filled with practical steps to fortify a healthy and mature prophetic community, both within and beyond the four walls of the church. We need this, as the unbeliever has an inbuilt hunger to be seen and delighted in by the Lord.
