Graham Cooke: Developing Your Prophetic Gifting
One of my first notes from Cooke’s book was that personal prophecy required action on the part of the recipient. The second was that often it took time to fulfill personal prophecy. We learn that the prophet has certain duties to his audience or recipients and that prophecy is to build the individual and the body. Prophecy must encourage or it is suspect and not suitable for public utterance. Cooke’s thoughts were so rich that before every class in my recent fall course on the Holy Spirit, I copied several of them onto the class board, and then I began the class by discussing Cooke’s words. Those words provided wonderful stepping stones into the workings of the Holy Spirit and His gifting. I compared Cooke’s teaching in his book with my own experiences and found that I had a brother prophet in England that I never knew until I read his book.
This book is more than worth reading. It should be required for all prophets and those who aspire to this wonderful office. Get a copy and read it, it belongs in every leader’s library.
