Prophetic Evangelism - Mixed Feelings

Two months ago we had a blast with Sarah Yang and her Singaporean posse discovering the great benefits of Prophetic Evangelism. :P I put it that way because obviously we all know there are many ways to live an evangelistic lifestyle - relational, etc etc.

Well I guess prophetic evangelism is very powerful especially for such a time as this - when people are tired of religious information, and they are looking for powerful experience. Don't misunderstand the word powerful, I'm not talking about the usual power we churches associate with loud music, in-your-face sermons, flashing spotlights, majestic theater seats or even an intimidating crowd of 10,000 worshipers.
The power that comes with prophetic evangelism is the invisible force that whacks you into the awakening that God knows you personally and suddenly you feel like you are in this great orb of spiritual confidence that everything else doesn't even matter.

Having said that, I was still compelled to put out a 'disclaimer' that receiving prophetic words from God demands us to rethink our lifestyle as well (as if you'd think otherwise), and not just be all excited for something supernatural without incorporating the essence of the gospel - love.

Here an excerpt from the post:

Let me ask you a question.
Is it easier to:
A. prophecy with extreme accuracy over someone and say "now you believe or not?", or
B. to demonstrate the selfless and sacrificial love of Christ, and thus showing the message of the gospel?

Hint: When Jesus saw the paralytic man on the mat, he said, 'Your sins are forgiven." Then to show the skeptics he's for real, he says "Get up and walk."

We are to offer the love of God, by loving people, before we move in our spiritual gifting to prove it's real.

Lost people don't want history lessons on Jesus, or a summary of Christianity, OR A MAGIC SHOW ON HOW YOU CAN PROPHESY. They want love - the love that only God can give.
Evangelism is not just preaching the gospel, but living the gospel, showing the gospel by love.

If we had shared the gospel, but that person did not experience love from it, it didn't get through.
If your "prophetic moves" does not relate the love of God - forget it. It is nothing.
Your prophetic evangelism is nothing.
