If we believe we are in
last days, we need to quit calling God's messengers 'false prophets' (Je.25:4). Hell, fire, and brimstone preaching is not a prophet's passion, but result of other's unbelief. Prophets feel whatever God feels and are honor bound to warn unbelieving people they also love. For fear of an antichrist or Jonestown type experience, leaders hush prophets by whatever means possible; all while, feeling justified. And, people continue to believe whatever they are told.
"And (they) say, If we had been in days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in blood of prophets." Mt. 23:30
Most prophets dare not come out of closet. 'If we talk to God, we are spiritual. If God talks to us, we are scitsophrenic.'
While many truly have a heart for God's people, they error in deciding when, who, and how people can serve (becoming Pharaohs, creating spiritual wounds) when all they would need do is to listen for Spirit and let God sit on their throne. The Spirit cannot lie.
It makes no difference how one is qualified, as faithful is He who calls you, who also will do it. For, it is God who builds HIS church.
Instead, pride is placed upon one's knowledge and abilities; forgetting such will pass away. You might notice who Jesus would become angry with (not spiritually weak, poor, sick, or lame) but leaders who kept them that way.
God will do whatever it takes to make sure those who are saved will be saved. When I asked how many prophecies have to come to pass, God answered, "As many as it takes."
"For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another," Mt. 24:7-10.
