Prophets are voices of God. My pastor is my prophet and i know that just too well. God has established me and believing in my Pastor has made me prosper.

it dares what we think can not be dared

Vox populi vox dei. The voice of true prophets is the voice of God. A prophet's instructions and directions though counterintuitive are always compatible with Christian values , divine laws and unction of the holy spirit within us. You prosper ultimately even in adversity when you obey prophetic injunction and conversely may regret, if you willfully disobey it.

What Jehoshafat said is a mystery.God value His prophets"put your trust in the prophets and ye shall prosper" our prosperity of God. If we neglect the mouth of God that means we neglect our establishment and our prosperity

I understand that god wanted his people to trust in prophets.

This is really God speaking about his faithfulness. Anytime I remember this verse of truth, it moves me to dare what cannot be dared.
