Two ways.
First, prophecy reveals a suffering Savior; second, prophecy reveals what fallen man is. In light of the power and presence of Christ, prophecy shows man his natural rejection of a Savior’s love.
“Rejection of Christ – not acceptance – is man’s natural inclination toward Christ.”
Faith comes to the heart of fallen man by hearing the Word of God. Prophetic truth stirs the soul of a natural man. The Word gives evidence. The Word ministers the Spirit. So, how does prophecy reveal the basis of faith? The person, power, and presence of Christ are revealed through preaching.
The suffering of Christ reveals to fallen man what he really is. Two things are recognized. Man’s need for a Savior and; a Savior’s love for fallen man. Faith is ministered through preaching prophecies about Christ. Revelation brings faith from the heart of man. Faith is exercised and based on what God said. Faith is exercised and based on the truth behind what God promised about Christ.
Faith is based on truth found in the prophetic Word of God…which reveals things about, “the person of Christ”.
“Revelation of the suffering Christ sways the heart of fallen man…even enough to believe”.

About rickroehm
Since 1988 I’ve been writing and doing service for the Lord. It all began in 1987 after a personal walk began with the Lord. This personal walk with the Lord I speak of turned into extensive Bible studies and later evolved into blogging in early 2000. At present I write, author, and publish several different sites on the Internet. My Blogs contain a vast library of Theological writings, teaching videos, and preaching audios that currently go around the globe for the cause of Christ. I write at Christian Blessings on Wordpress, Holy Hubert Lindsey Group on Facebook, Churches on Trial at Google, publish You Tube videos, record sermons at holy.sermon.net, etc. I also pastor a Church called the Upper Room in Williamsburg, Ohio . My secular Blog called Southwestern Ohio Fishing on Wordpress is where I write about experiences with my son and fishing partner Chad where we together enjoy Mother Nature’s beauty mixed with Father God’s creation. At Southwestern Ohio Fishing Blog I also publish favorite recipes for those who enjoy eating and cooking as much as this writer does. Thanks for sharing your time and life with this writer at the Blogs. Here's more access to my ministry and fishing Blog if you'd care to check them out further.
