10 ATTRIBUTES OF A PROPHETIC CHURCH (Most Churches Are Missing These)…
NOT every church that mentions “prophetic” is actually a prophetic church!!!
There is a difference between a church that occasionally has a prophetic moment and a church that is genuinely built on a prophetic foundation. One experiences the prophetic as a visitor. The other is structured, shaped, and driven by it as a culture.
So what does a truly prophetic church actually look like? Let me break it down:
1. There is a VALUE for spontaneous and prophetic worship. The worship is not just a setlist. There is room for the Holy Spirit to interrupt, redirect, and take over. The worship leader and musicians tune, their ears in to hear the song of the Lord!!!!
2. Individual personal prophetic ministry happens regularly. People don’t just hear ABOUT the prophetic…they receive it. Destiny is revealed, warnings are given, and encouraging words are released. 
3. Corporate prophetic words are released over the house. God speaks to congregations, not just individuals. A prophetic church has ears to hear what the Spirit of The Lord is saying to THAT body in THAT season.
4. Prophetic training and activation are part of the culture. The prophetic is modeled, taught, and developed in the people. Prophetic houses are places of training and development! 
5. Prophetic teams and companies are formed. The prophetic doesn’t function alone. There are companies of prophets who sharpen one another, cover one another, and deploy together.
6. Prophetic preaching and teaching shape the pulpit. The messages are not just informational…they are revelatory. The preacher carries a NOW word that addresses the current climate with precision.
7. Strong encouragement and exhortation flow through a prophetic lens. People leave built up, stirred up, and strengthened. The prophetic voice carries the Father’s heart for His people.
8. The revelation gifts flow freely. Words of knowledge, discerning of spirits, and prophecy operate regularly. As revelation flows… strategies are released, and answers are provided. 
9. The full fivefold ministry is embraced. A prophetic church does not isolate the prophetic gift. It honors apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers all working together in alignment.
10. It is a safe place for prophets. This may be the most important one. Prophets are not controlled, silenced, or sidelined. They are covered, developed, and released. If prophets aren’t safe there…it isn’t a prophetic church.
11. There is intentional discovery of gifts and purposes. God uses prophets and the prophetic to identify hidden gifts. The prophetic will discover the plans and purposes of God in the lives of people and announce them in the appropriate time.
God is raising up houses that don’t just talk about the prophetic…they are BUILT on it. The world needs churches where heaven’s voice is not only welcomed but expected.
Are you part of one? Are you building one?
