FUNCTIONS OF THE PROPHET AND THE PROPHETIC MINISTRY:
The words are illuminated because this is what it is — an illumination process — a general revelation of the Word of God. This process is when the logos becomes a rhema — a life-giving word.
Prophets are gifted with the living word — rhema — to the church. Your Bible is full of words, which is alternatively known as the written word — logos. Have you ever experienced reading the Bible and seeing or sensing words spring to life? The words are illuminated because this is what it is — an illumination process — a general revelation of the Word of God. This process is when the logos becomes a rhema — a life-giving word. Prophets are usually in the flow of rhema in their ministry (Rev. 2:29).
We need to listen to both what the Holy Spirit is saying to the church, not just what he already said through Scripture. Without a fresh word, we die from a religious death. This life-giving rhema comes through the prophetic gift. Thus, the prophet functions as a messenger of the life-giving word. Think about it. Without the life provided by Ezekiel’s prophetic voice, the valley would remain a valley of dry bones. His voice gave life to these words.
The prophet functions as a messenger of the life-giving word.
