Set in specific date and time |
Prophet Visited by vision |
Prophet overwhelmed by vision and/or call |
Prophet sent by God’s Spirit/voice |
Prophet must speak God’s word |
People would not listen |
Contains symbolized action regarding word |
God Addresses fear |
God responds to protest/questions |
God addresses weakness |
Prophet expresses willingness |
So here is the question: which of these elements (if any) should we expect when receiving a call from God to do something? To put it differently: Which elements are unique to the prophetic call and which are common to all calls?
Given our current job hunt, this is an interesting question and great conversation to bring up with a group of people. We went over to some friends house and discussed it over lunch.
