The Art of Submission presents readers with a biblical view on prophecy in today's church. The gifting, operation, and purposes for prophecy are clearly outlined in God's Word. Every born-again believer can and should desire to prophesy""it is one of the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12. Prophecy is the only gift Paul told the believers to "earnestly desire." The gifts of the Spirit differ from the gifts Jesus Himself gave to the church in Ephesians 4:11. We find that Jesus calls some to be "apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers." The Word then tells us the purpose of these gifts is to equip the saints and edify the body of Christ. This is one man's story of his calling to serve the church in the office of prophet. The foundation given him for serving in this way hinges on learning to submit everything to the lordship of Jesus Christ. The Art of Submission lays out the scriptural pattern for becoming an effective vessel, qualified to be used in the kingdom of God. Jesus desires that every believer come to full submission to His will and purposes""only then are we able to reach our full potential for ministry.
