They must be given a forum. Even in infancy they must be allowed the opportunity to learn through practice. In many churches today prophetic people do not have that opportunity. They are watchdogs on a short leash, provoked by insecure masters. The snubs, harsh looks, and tight-fisted controls are like the blows of a stick.
Most prophets endure quietly, but eventually they either lie down and whimper or snarl and leave.
The ones that leave are dogs running loose in the night. In just the past few weeks I have had correspondences with several people who are outraged about traditional church authority. They've obviously suffered greatly at the hands of leadership. Having broken their chains they now howl or growl from a distance. If you approach them they turn and run.
