Synopsis "So, You Want to be a Prophet...: Are You Crazy? (in English)"
"So, You Want to be a Prophet... Are you crazy?" is a warning and an encouragement to those who desire to serve as prophets of the Lord but are unaware of a painful process appropriately called 'the furnace of affliction'. Many people want to be prophets, but for the wrong reasons. Some prophets say only a crazy person would want to be a prophet of the Lord. That is not to diminish the honor of the position; it is simply because of the commensurate suffering and consecration. Many people witness prophets preaching fire in churches, but only a few ever see the fiery trials they endured in the process of becoming prophets, a painful process that may take years. In Kollin's previous book, "Raised in the Wilderness: Rogue Reformers, Rallying the Remnant", he discussed how the Lord molds prophets outside of the institutional church, oftentimes insulated and isolated. Now, in "So, You Want to be a Prophet... Are you crazy?", he presents some of rigors of prophetic ministry many aspiring prophets overlook when studying the Biblical prophets. He also boldly shares a part of his own journey where he endured hell on earth as witches and evil spirits tried to make him walk away from his calling, and his beloved God. "So, You Want to be a Prophet... Are you crazy?" is absolutely meant to present hard truths to deter anyone from trying to become a prophet, unless the Lord calls. Jesus said many are called but few are chosen. Sadly, fewer endure until the end. Being a prophet is not for everyone. The Lord has a customized program for every person He calls into prophetic ministry, for the perfecting of the saints, and some suffer more than others. All prophetic candidates and prophets suffer, but it is to ensure they do not crumble under the adversities they will face during their respective ministries. If you desire to become a prophet, "So, You Want to be a Prophet... Are you crazy?" will help you determine if the source of the desire is from your flesh or potentially from the Lord. Can you endure the Lord's process in the 'the furnace of affliction'?
