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.
“Office of the Prophet: A Comprehensive Study” by Janice E. Wagner is an insightful examination rooted in scripture, focusing on the manifestation gifts of the Holy Spirit. This study was specifically crafted for the altar workers at The People’s Church of Santa Fe in New Mexico. Wagner highlights that the primary functions of basic prophecy are to provide edification (instruction), exhortation (encouragement), and comfort.
The study seeks to clarify the distinction between the gift of prophecy and the office of the prophet.
In her work, Janice provides valuable instruction on how to operate within the office of the prophet, which is one of the five-fold ministry gifts. She discusses how believers can recognize their calling to the prophetic office, outlines the nine manifestation gifts of the Holy Spirit, and explains how prophets can effectively use these gifts as tools to communicate the Lord’s messages.
Ultimately, “Office of the Prophet: A Comprehensive Study” aims to deepen readers’ understanding of how God has utilized various prophets throughout the Old and New Testaments, enriching their appreciation of the prophetic ministry.
Her book was praised by Mihir Shah of The US Review of Books (USRB) highlighting “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.”
“Office of the Prophet: A Comprehensive Study” was also featured by Citi of Books during the 30th Los Angeles Times Festival of Books, the largest book festival in the United States, held last April 26-27, 2025, in the University of Southern California campus.
