“Jeremy helps us to eagerly desire prophecy as the Scripture commands through his new book. He not only brings prophetic ministry to light through fresh teaching, he also helps write into the role of a prophet that will be especially helpful to leaders around the world. Jeremy is a man who has paid a price for his own prophetic gifting, and out of that comes this easy-to-read, insightful book.”

“Jeremy Lopez has a unique writing style of simplicity that communicates the truth of God in a clear and concise way. He demystifies what it means to be a prophet and the characteristics that accompany a prophet, and he makes them understandable to the reader. Jeremy is very balanced and scripturally sound in his approach to the prophetic ministry, and he clearly outlines why we must have it in operation in our midst today. As Jeremy shows, being a prophet is not easy, but well-respected prophets are a much-needed asset to the Body of Christ.”

“This work is a much-needed foundational yet insightful look at the prophetic and revelatory ministry. Jeremy Lopez does a great job not simply rehashing what’s already out there, but bringing some fresh nuggets that will surely yield an impartation of the prophetic. This work is much like the hand of Elisha on his servant (see 2 Kings 6:17) that yielded open eyes to perceive in the spirit realm and was a catalyst of fresh faith. I trust that this easy-to-read yet profound book will catapult you to new levels of revelatory release. Let’s take this spiritual weaponry to the streets and see a marketplace revolution released.”

I dedicate this book to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, my rock and my shield, the glory and the lifter of my head. Without You I would be nothing, but with You I can accomplish anything. Thank You for Your grace, mercy and love upon my life. May Your Kingdom come and Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. As Isaiah once said, “Here I am, send me.” Use me to display Your glory in the earth until every nation is filled with You and only You.
This book is also dedicated to my parents, Pastors Jim and Jeannie Lopez. You both are the best example of God’s love I have ever known. You have been my inspiration and anchor through the good and the bad. May the glory of God continue to shine upon you both with grace, mercy and peace all the days of your lives. I love you very much.
