Stephen is known as a modern day prophet. Although Stephen is also gifted in other areas of ministry, prophecy is his ministry to the public. To better understand what prophecy means, we have given a definition below:proph·e·cy
1. the foretelling or prediction of what is to come. 2. something that is declared by a prophet, esp. a divinely inspired prediction, instruction, or exhortation. 3. a divinely inspired utterance or revelation: oracular prophecies. 4. the action, function, or faculty of a prophet. proph·et
1. A person who speaks by divine inspiration or as the interpreter through whom the will of a god is expressed. 2. A person gifted with profound moral insight and exceptional powers of expression.
Since the age of 5, Stephen has had divine encounters. We believe that a true prophet is one who has had visitations of God, Christ and or Angels. Stephen's gift is much like a psychic or medium, but his information does not come from another person who has passed on or intuition by itself. His information comes from the LORD. Stephen is a sign in the earth that God is real. Every true prophet or messenger of God knows that there is a true way before God and that way is Christ Jesus. Without Christ, we can never know God fully or as to discover the true purpose of our life. Many people within religous organizations teach that prophet's have passed away and in today's society we have found a new way through psychics, mediums and those who promise to deliver true meaning before the otherside, which is the "Kingdom of God". But the truth is, those who are truly prophetic, truly in tune with what the Spirit of God is saying. Those people understand God more than many people. We can call them prophet's, we can give them title's. But the title is nothing more than an introduction to what they do. Prophecy is a unique gift.
