School of Prophets

The School of Christ and His Prophets
Cultivating a Nation of Spiritual Leaders

The School of Prophets’ vision is rooted in the biblical aspiration of Numbers 11:29: “Would to God that all the Lord’s people were prophets, and that the Lord would put His Spirit upon them.” This is an educational initiative and a transformative national movement to elevate every citizen to spiritual maturity and leadership in bringing others into that moral/character maturity.

Revelation 19:10: “And I fell at his feet [i.e. the angel’s feet] to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” The angel explains that those who have “the testimony of Jesus” (believers in Jesus Christ) share in the “spirit of prophecy,” emphasizing that prophecy is inspired by and points to Jesus Christ.

Core Principles:

1. Universal Spiritual Potential: Everyone can and should be a prophet. Hearing God’s voice depends upon desire and work. The work includes developing an informed conscience, which arises from 1) Reading, understanding, and applying His Word/His Revelation/the Bible to life circumstances/situations, 2) Understanding His world, the realities of how the world works on a deep level, 3) Making holy/good/right choices according to God’s ways, 4) learning from experience, extracting the universal principles to reinforce their application.
2. Holistic Sanctification: Holiness is lived one moment at a time. We can and must choose Godliness in each situation and reject the temptations of the flesh. Such holiness depends on knowing God’s standards. We implant His heart into ours by reading the Bible, discussing its meaning, and applying its precepts as generalities. Holiness requires feeding on His Word, digesting it by discussing and extracting the principles, and then applying it to the fast-paced experience of our lives. This growth of character is about continuous personal transformation. Holiness involves disciplining the flesh, resisting temptations, and adding in the charities, virtues, and positive/divine principles of a heart that feels and is guided by the love of God, others, and self.
3. Grassroots Spiritual Revolution: The holiness of top-down leadership benefits society by establishing Godly legislation and judiciary and administering laws. Godly leadership provides an example of ideal/holy behavior for all. However, the example of holy leadership is unstable until society/masses/people broadly embrace holiness in their individual lives. Every individual must seek spiritual maturity/development of Godly character and be committed to influencing their sphere to live in Godliness.

Teaching Methodology:

• Graduated Curriculum: Develop a structured approach that helps individuals progress from basic spiritual concepts such as the Ten Commandments, repentance, and salvation to advanced levels, which is the skill of making ethical distinctions associated with specific areas of life skill. The school’s goal is teaching/mastering/incorporating/living holiness guided by knowledge passed on by others and the experience of choosing right/good/Godly action.
• Practical Application: Examine real-world scenarios that challenge individuals to apply Biblical principles in complex situations.
• Community Accountability: In the graduate setting, learning continues as the principles are applied in life. Graduates will become citizens, and they need support to maintain their ethics. Ideally, students develop friend/support/accountability networks in the program. Friends/associates/partners should challenge and encourage each other’s spiritual stand on morality throughout life. A chord of three strands is not easily broken.

National Impact: Create a culture where every citizen takes charge in his/her sphere by exerting moral/Godly leadership in that domain:

• Confront moral corruption in government and business
• Take personal responsibility for health, relationships, property, behavior, and finances
• Apply the law equally regardless of status or power
• Personal motivation for service, charity, support for the disabled
• Leadership regarding national policy includes consideration of Biblical patterns

The goal is not to create a theocracy, which is only appropriate when Jesus Christ returns. The goal is to cultivate a nation of individuals who live according to the Biblical code of ethics in all domains of life: government, business, and private.

Revelation 19:10: “And I fell at his feet [i.e. the angel’s feet] to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

The Spirit of Prophecy: Christ’s Testimony Unveiled Revelation 19:10 offers insight into the nature of prophecy and divine revelation: “For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” This seemingly simple statement has deep implications for how divine communication operates. The verse suggests that prophecy is not merely a human endeavor of predicting future events but a spiritual manifestation directly connected to Jesus Christ. The verse declares that all the brethren who have the testimony of Jesus, who believe in the reality and purpose of His life, the truth and imperative nature of His teachings, the validity of His sacrifice in saving us if we accept it, and the hope of resurrection, given He was the firstborn of many brethren who will overcome death. Belief in Him, testifying of Him, being in Him is the spirit of prophecy. That spirit is the generative source of prophetic power. When believers internalize Christ’s testimony, they become conduits of divinely manifested will. Prophecy transforms from a mystical, distant concept to an active, participatory experience. Each person who embraces Christ’s message can speak divine truth into existence. This interpretation suggests that prophecy is less about predicting specific events and more about being the agent of God’s transformation in this world. The spirit of prophecy empowers believers to live/speak/be, and have spiritual authority. We as humans have a human understanding of what is to be done as the prophetic manifestation. The source of that divine perspective is the Son, and in particular, the testimony of Jesus is the spirit. When we testify of Jesus, we are the spirit of prophecy. Practically, this means our testimony of Jesus as Lord and Savior is prophesy. Every knee shall bend and head bow to the name of Jesus.  Believers aren’t passive recipients of revelation but active co-creators in God’s unfolding plan. The result of men embracing Jesus is hope, redemption, and spiritual transformation. The verse ultimately points to Christ as the supreme source of spiritual insight, inviting believers to participate in manifesting divine purposes through their lived testimony.

In this verse, Revelation 19:10: “And I fell at his feet [i.e. the angel’s feet] to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” John is falling at the feet of the angel, who says don’t worship me, I’m a fellow servant, just like all of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus. The angel then says, “worship God,” for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. The Spirit of Prophecy is like a spirit of something, a principle, the essence, or a group entity. It is a characterization of prophecy. There is a spirit of prophecy that sees into the future. The phrase “Brethren that have the testimony of Jesus” refers to believers in Jesus. So, there is a brotherhood of all who testify of Jesus; all share in the spirit of having that testimony, and one of the things they share in is the spirit of prophecy. So there’s a spirit of prophecy, which implies that there is a divine insight into how God will shape the future reality. That’s what prophecy is. But it may be that it is believers, those who are His children, who have accepted Jesus as their Lord, that have that Spirit of Prophecy come over them/speak to them, and by speaking it, by declaring it, by living it, by being the agent of prophecy, such people make the future happen. And if you are in Jesus, you can create the future. Jesus is the spirit of prophecy, which means that when you have the spirit of prophecy, you are speaking God’s will. Jesus Christ has all power and authority; by being a believer and testifying of Him, we have the spirit of prophecy. God Jesus is capable of doing, and the testimony of Jesus is that spirit of prophecy. Jesus Christ is the spirit that orders the creation of the world’s future in both small and large ways. And when we testify of Him and have him as your testimony, we are united in Him. When we speak, we speak into reality, that which has not yet been created, and you’re the Agent of Jesus in making this future reality manifest. The implications of this are huge. It could be interpreted as a prosperity or healing gospel, but it’s a miracle gospel of creating God’s will on earth. Because we are having faith in Jesus Christ, we are cocreators, we are agents of God.  This is muscular Christianity, in the sense that we are serving God/worshipping God. We are the willing agents of God, and we live in His world with the servant’s heart. We are prophesying God’s will when we are in the Spirit of Christ. We prophesy what God wants and choose to prophesy into the future manifestation, that which pleases the Father. When we do/prophesy/speak into existence what God/the Father wants to manifest, all life is in harmony. Every person prophesies the will of God into existence and does it independently of the coordination of others. But there is no confusion in this multiplicity of prophecy because the coordination is within God. He is the organizer. When everyone submits to God’s will, the world becomes peaceful, and efforts are combined synergistically. Everyone creates something different because every person has his special function of creating an aspect of the creation that God wants to be created. Everyone is not an eye, ear, tooth, arm, hand, or finger. Every person plays their part. Being in the Son/in Christ (being one who testifies of Christ), you will, by seeing that the will of God is, see your task, your goal, and prophesy it into existence. I know that with my presidential campaign, speaking about it, visualizing it, writing about it, and planning for it, I am prophesying being president into existence. I have no question about that fact, and I know that is what I’m doing.
