Prophets, Pitfalls, and Principles: God’s Prophetic People Today
Overview
In Prophets, Pitfalls and Principles, Bill Hamon shows you how to recognize your hidden “root” problems and how to detect and correct character flaws and “weed seed” attitudes. You will also learn how to discern true prophets using Dr. Hamon’s ten M’s for maturing and maintaining ministry.
Top Highlights
“The prophetic ministry often places the prophet in extreme situations with high stakes: success or failure, acceptance or rejection, vindication or humiliation, life or death.” (Page 10)
“In the spiritual realm as well, God will not deal with advanced root problems during a productive ministry season. He will bring the minister and his or her ministry into a winter season of inactivity and nonproductivity. He will plow the prophet upside-down, exposing the root problems, and then He will either spray them with a strong anointing to destroy them or else rake the minister’s soul until all the roots are removed and thrown into the fire of God’s purging purpose.” (Pages 7–8)
“This principle seems to apply especially to those called to be prophets. Those whom He calls to speak directly for Him with a ‘Thus saith the Lord’ are given much. But in the same way much more is required of them in obedience, integrity, righteousness, and Christlikeness in all areas of life.” (Page 6)
“Elijah portrays the prophet who is mighty in prophesying and in powerful performance, but weak in personality, attitude, and adjustments to rejection and persecution.” (Page 10)
“His severity is revealed in the process of His training to make a person ready to be commissioned to that calling.” (Page 5)

I bought this book in 2004 and never read it until now and it’s been a very big blessing for me in God’s calling for my life in understanding my weakness as a spokesman for Jesus. I recommend this book for those who are serving the Lord in ministry!
