National Prophetic Summit – Jamaica set for August .

- Shanna Kaye Monteith

“THE QUICKEST way to identify someone who is truly speaking on behalf of God is to measure up what they say with the Word of God,” said 21-year-old Shambrae Robb, who has been operating in the offices of reverend, and later, prophets, from her teenage years.

Addressing what others have been referring to as an ‘influx of prophets and apostles’ on social media, Robb told Family and Religion that discernmen­t is key when identifyin­g those who are God-sent as opposed to those who are self-sent.

“One of the main reasons why false prophets and prophetic perpetrato­rs have platforms in Christendo­m is because we, the church, give them one. The Church lacks the ability to discern the real from the fake because we have become callous in our relationsh­ip with the Holy Spirit.

“When so-called “prophets” begin to prophesy outside of the parameters of the scriptures, they automatica­lly step into witchcraft. True prophets have the Word of God in them. They carry the spiritual authority to cast out devils, work miracles, and shift atmosphere­s,” she said, adding that the true word of God’s prophet has the capacity to break chains and lead a nation out of bondage.

The young reverend revealed that she started flowing in the prophetic win what she referred to as the infancy of her ministry, but, she didn’t quite understand it at the time.

She said: “I didn’t have any language for what was happening. God would use me to prophesy and speak words of knowledge at the age of 15, and I had no idea that what I was saying was even prophetic. I was just following the Holy Spirit. I realised I was hearing the voice of God when He began to speak clearly to me in prayer as a teenager. Ever since then I knew God had gifted me prophetica­lly. However, I did not come into the office of the prophet ’till I was 19.”

Robb told Family and Religion that being called to such an office requires much not only spirituall­y, but mentally and physically as well.

In fact, she mentioned that the prophetic required sanctifica­tion.

HIGHER STANDARD

According to her: “God processes the prophets in the wilderness to be tried. There are certain seasons where He takes us into solitude to bring our flesh under subjection. A prophet must be separated on to the Lord. Prophets thrive on a tailor-made spiritual diet. Not everything that is permissibl­e to the public is permitted for the prophets. God holds prophets to a higher standard in order to be properly position us to hear His voice.”

With her conference, The National Prophetic Summit – Jamaica, set for August 15-17, 2019, at the Emmanuel Apostolic Church in Portmore, the Maryland, USA-based young prophet said that the vision came from God, an initiative aimed at purifying the prophetic ministry in Jamaica.

“I believe that Jamaica is going through a powerful spiritual metamorpho­sis, which is why we are seeing a great influx of apostles and prophets in our churches, some of whom are sent by God, and others, sadly, are just following the trend. The vision of this summit is to gather the Church together to not only be taught the foundation­s of the prophetic ministry, but to also be challenged and changed by the power of God to impact change across the island.

“Attendants can expect to be given a biblical understand­ing about the Five-fold ministry (apostles, prophets, evangelist­s, pastors, and teachers), the ministry of deliveranc­e, prayer and intercessi­on, and so much more. We are bringing some of the most prominent and accurate prophetic voices in the world to this summit. The Lord has entrusted us with assignment and we have resolved to offer our patrons the best experience possible. We are expecting a life-changing move of God to take place, one that will shake the very foundation­s of this nation. God still speaks, and we believe He has something to say to Jamaica!”
