The Obama era and the Joshua generation of preachers: choose this day what ye will preach: prosperity or prophetic preaching -- a choice for X and Y generation preachers

The Obama era and the Joshua generation of preachers: choose this day what ye will preach: prosperity or prophetic preaching -- a choice for X and Y generation preachers

Vanetta R Rather

This project was developed to help X and Y generation preachers claim/reclaim the prophetic preaching voice of God. The author believes that these generations have been lured away from prophetic ministry and enticed by negative cultural influences. The cultural influence that is having significant impact is the American culture of consumerism which has appeared in the church as prosperity preaching. The author interviewed and surveyed the X and Y generations, researched biblical prophets and examined cultural influences. The findings conclude that there has been a cultural impact and that there is a need to claim/reclaim the prophetic preaching voice of God.
