The Christian God is a personal God who desires intimate fellowship with his people. God communicates his will to them, and they in turn share the divine thoughts with the rest of the human race. The prophets are God's communication channels, and they represent the only ministry that can be found consistently functioning with the same name in every age and dispensation from Genesis to Revelation. Prophets speak for God, not merely about God. The prophet has rights and authority in his prophesying that others do not have, such as those with the gift of prophecy or those who function on the saints' level of prophetic ministry.
Prophets are able to prophesy into the lives of individuals, and are the eyes of the church.
Where there is no vision, the people perish. Anyone claiming to be an evangelist, but who is preaching anything but salvation by the blood of Jesus alone, is a false minister. Due to the nature of his work, the full-time evangelist often has to move from one location to another. It is a demanding ministry, but an important one. His life is bound up with protecting, nourishing, and guarding the sheep the Master Shepherd has placed in his care.
