BATHROBE PROPHETS
BATHROBE PROPHETS : A NEW BREED IS SURFACING
by Andre Lefebvre

The profile contours of a new breed of prophets is starting to be recognized. When I say this, I don’t mean they bring something which never existed before, but rather that it’s easy to forget or be oblivious of them due to the type of church culture we have (stage/pews), even in the prophetic/charismatic movement.
Their existence is a collective force we have to recognize, embrace, validate, affirm, mentor, nurture and cherish, because it is a breed of believers which touches ground zero in terms of an incarnated prophetic lifestyle, a much needed model for everyone.
Many of them are survivors of tragedies and traumas, have difficult issues with their health, physical and emotional, and don’t fit in the present paradigm of mainstream “ministry” types. However, they are like hound dogs joyfully hitting the prophetic trail, joined by kindred hearts, running in the direction they feel the Lord leading them, scouting the land for those coming behind.
They love God with a consuming passion. Seasoned through trials and tribulations, they walk a path of eagerness to know more of Him. They journal, write on forums, have their own blog, support and pray for ministries and people, in fact, the Internet is their preferred vehicle. They spawn virtual communities all over the world. Their ministry of encouragement is outstanding and their compassion runs deep.
