1cor8:2 If anyone imagines that he knows something, he does not yet know as he ought to know.

Still, a friend of mine said once that he believed Jesus had the truth, but that Christians have it wrong. Internally I thought something with some weight, but the Lord has shown me that Christians do have the truth in them. As a prophet you learn some things, one is that you need to be submissive to people and authority, its important, that you work with authority. But two, that you are used to straighten people out and you don't bend the truth to people. The prophetic ministry is the index finger that points, the ring doesn't belong on this finger. If you marry the congregation with your index finger you will distort what God's message is, the ring belongs on the finger that folds around, as much as we would sometimes want to cushion the message, we can't distort what it means.

I don't like doing it, but I don't like going against the truth in my heart either. People complain that things aren't like the 1st century church, but we aren't far from doing it, and I know or heard of plenty of people and communities that have done the same. We really are not any farther from doing it now than they were then, if not a lot closer and with it being a lot more obvious that all other roads fall far shorter than what people expect. We just need to give up the worldly attitudes, wisdom, philosophies, etc... Filter out unbelief. We really can't neglect that its very much about sacrifice, Jesus made it abundantly clear. Its all about love, and the greatest love is sacrifice even of one's own life for one's friends. Don't blindly do it though, act in Love and in His Spirit.
1 Cor 13:3 If I give up all I have, and give up my body to be burned [so that I may boast], but have not Love, I gain nothing
