The US Review of Books (USRB) reviewed Janice Wagner’s’ book, “Office of the Prophet: A Comprehensive Study,” which was praised by Mihir Shah after it was evaluated. The reviewer emphasizes, “The author’s work stands out among faith-based literature. While it also incorporates scripture verses, it emphasizes a strong understanding of human fallibility and the opportunity for redemption.”
The author, Janice E. Wagner, considers herself a normal human being who received Jesus as her personal Lord and Savior at the age of 12. She has experienced numerous trials, including health issues that resulted in healing. As a Christian, the author often asks the Lord how her trials can bring honor to His name.
Janice has made many mistakes in life, but the Lord has transformed her. She gives all glory to the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit for who she is today, and all that the Lord has done in and through her. In 1979, the Lord called Janice to be His mouthpiece to the body of Christ. The author is amazed by the way her Lord has used her and the words He has given to the body of Christ through her.
She believes that the Lord can speak through any of His children once they have been infused with the power of the Holy Spirit. She encourages others to listen to the Lord’s voice and repeat what they hear. If they have received the baptism of the Holy Spirit and have been commissioned by God to minister as a prophet, they are ready for an interesting journey.
“The Office of the Prophets” is a compelling study that emerged from a teaching on the manifestation gifts of the Holy Spirit, originally prepared for altar workers at The People’s Church of Santa Fe in New Mexico. This insightful work addresses a crucial question that arose during discussions: What distinguishes the gift of prophecy from the office of the prophet?
By delving into scriptural teachings, the book clarifies that while many may operate in the gift of prophecy, it does not automatically designate them as prophets. This distinction is vital for understanding the role and responsibilities associated with the prophetic office within the five-fold ministry.
The book provides an in-depth look at the nine manifestation gifts of the Holy Spirit and how prophets utilize these gifts to carry out God’s directives. The author shares personal experiences from her 40-plus years of serving as a prophet, illustrating how the Holy Spirit has guided her throughout her journey.
Ultimately, this study not only equips readers with knowledge about the prophetic office but also encourages all believers filled with the Spirit to recognize and operate in their own spiritual gifts, empowering them to fulfill their divine purpose. “The Office of the Prophets” is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of the prophetic ministry and its significance in the life of the Church.
Here is an excerpt from the US Review of Books that highlights:
“Nevertheless, the work drives home a stellar point: the office of the prophet is essentially the medium through which the Lord assures mankind that healing is on the horizon, and transformation, though not immediate, is imminent.”
