Do prophets need training - YES!
Are schools for prophets and prophetic people biblical - Yes!
Samuels's school of prophets was one of several, those mentioned in the Bible were at Gibeah (1 Samuel 10:5), Ramah (1 Samuel 19:18-24), Bethel (2 Kings 2:3), Jericho (2 Kings 2:15) and Gilgal (2 Kings 4:38)
Today we carry on that tradition - of training New Covenant prophets and prophetic ministers.
I wish I'd had training like the School of Prophets Aotearoa provided in my earlier years of following God in my calling. It would have been so good to be around mature prophets, learning from their experience and knowledge, being around others who will accept yet challenge me in my growth - its so valuable!
At School of Prophets Aotearoa each year we cover different subjects relating to a prophetic call. We train with a combination of teaching and practical activation and feedback. You'll learn things like -
How prophecy fits into the church and society today.
How to give a clear and understandable (non-ambiguous) word.
How to interpret visual revelation in a scriptural and healthy way.
Why God sometimes shows us weird things.
Prophets and intercession - how it works together
How to work alongside pastors and other church leaders
Character stuff and pitfalls for prophetic people
and much much more
