AUTHOR'S COMMENT: If you're hungry for another way of doing and being church, this would be it. It's the hunger in God's heart and in mine! It applies to every believer and the role he or she plays in advancing the kingdom of God. You just might find your destiny on these pages.
DESCRIPTION FROM CHOSEN BOOKS: R. Loren Sandford does not believe we will see revival sweep the Western world—despite the prayers of those longing for God to send it—without certain key elements. The goal of our pursuit in these crucial days, rather than seeking power, must be intimacy with God and oneness with his heart. In addition to biblical examples and practical application, Sandford shows readers how certain "lighthouse churches" are incorporating and cultivating these goals. The church of Jesus Christ, he says, can rise up to have a prophetic impact onbook cover cities and nations and become all that our Savior called us to be.
ENDORSEMENT from GRAHAM COOK author of "Approaching the Heart of Prophecy" - “All prophetic people should have a personal identity in Christ and a strong sense of their own destiny. A prophetic community can occur only when its leadership values the Kingdom more than service-oriented participation. Real leaders impress upon their people a philosophy for life that empowers them to rise above adversity and warfare. Loren Sandford has written a book about making the journey in the Spirit to the place where the Kingdom provides the environment for real church to emerge. It is an honest book about coming out of a sterile past into a vibrant future. Loren is building a people who can receive under pressure and prosper in the heat of battle—a community of passion that worships wholeheartedly and prays like a bride, not a widow. It takes time, faith and patience, and only people who have sought the Lord and been found by Him can do it. Most churches want to get into a high place in God. Sadly, many of them dream about the outcome but fail to understand the process that takes them there. It is the process that makes us rich. How we travel is as important as reaching our destination. This is a book for travelers, not tourists.”
ENDORSEMENT from JOHN PAUL JACKSON, founder of Streams Ministries - "Loren Sandford has done it again. The Prophetic Church is heart gripping, bold, insightful, innovative and convicting. Every prophetically gifted individual needs to read and live with the attitude and in the spiritual atmosphere described in this book. With wisdom, Loren Sandford not only defines what it takes to have a healthy prophetic community, but how prophetically gifted individuals should live in the community of the church and in so doing have a long and vibrant ministry."
