Our Prophetic Calling: Afflicting the Comforted
Listen now
Description
If you were baptized, you are called to be a prophet. That doesn’t mean that you’ll be predicting the Second Coming, but you are called to speak the truth with clarity and charity. This means comforting the afflicted, and afflicting the comforted. Comforting the afflicted often mean reassuring people of God’s love for them, and his plan for their life. Afflicting the comforted often means speaking harsh truths that people don’t want to hear. 3 Steps to Afflicting the Comforted Make sure you’re actually speaking the truth of God, and not just your personal opinion. Be willing to be rejected and even ridiculed. Be genuinely charitable. Snippet from the Show “A prophet doesn’t speak their own words, they listen to the Word of God and then speak it with clarity and charity.”
