THE NEW COMPANIES OF PROPHETS ARE BEING CALLED TO GATHER TOGETHER.
Actually, since about 2011, I have been seeing visions of Prophetic Praise and Worship Teams in
the churches comprising all ages, from the oldest elder to the youngest child. About the summer
of 2015, I started seeing the reality that God is about to raise up a Company of Prophets in
Intercession City. At that time I never heard of John Eckardt or Jennifer LeClaire and their
teachings on the Apostolic/Prophetic. I was researching on myown as the Holy Spirit led me and
He definitely led me. Then I came across their books and teachings and it was a confirmation of
what God was showing me on this subject and a whole lot more from them.
I BEGAN TO SEE A REPEATING VISION OF COMPANIES OF PROPHETS COMING
TOGETHER--WHOLE FAMILIES AND CHURCHES FROM THE OLDEST ELDER TO THE
YOUNGEST CHILD. THEY WILL PROPHESY UNDER THE FATHERS LIKE THEY DID
UNDER SAMUEL'S COMPANY AT NAIOTH (1 Sam. ch. 10, 19) AND ELISHA'S
COMPANY AT BETHEL (II Kings ch. 2, 4, 6)
I HAD A VISION OF PROPHETIC PRAISE AND WORSHIP TEAMS.
These teams included musicians and singers (male & female, all ages). Standing in the back
rows were the elders (elderly men and women) and in front of them were the young men and
women (20s-50s) and in front of them were the male & female teenagers (13-19) and up front
were the children, boys & grils (12 and under).
THESE COMPANIES OF PROPHETIC PRAISE AND WORSHIP TEAMS WILL
MAKE AN ANOINTED SOUND THAT WILL CREATE A SOUND THAT WILL CAUSE
THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD TO COME UPON ALL ASSEMBLED AND THEY ALL
WILL SING NEW PROPHETIC SONGS (some new songs received from heaven
on the spot) AND PROPHESY.
Samuel Prophecies to Saul about meeting a COMPANY OF PROPHETS and
that he would PROPHESY WITH THEM.
1 Samuel 10:5-7 After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of the
Philistines: and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither to the city, that thou shalt
meet a company (H3862) of prophetscoming down from the high place with a psaltery, and
a tabret, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they shall prophesy: 6. And the Spirit of
the LORD will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into
another man. 7. And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, that thou do as
occasion serve thee; for God is with thee.

Saul, out of jealousy, seeks to kill David who fled and came to Samuel. Saul sends his messengers and they prophesy with the Company of Prophets that lived together at NAIOTH with "Samuel standing as appointed over them," as "their Father."
1Samuel 19:18-24 So David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to
him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth. And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Naioth in
Ramah. And Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company (H3862) of the prophets prophesying,
and SAMUEL STANDING AS APPOINTED (AS H1, 'ab, FATHER) OVER THEM, the Spirit of God was upon the
messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied. 21. And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied
likewise. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they prophesied also. 22.Then went he also to Ramah, and came
to a great well that is in Sechu: and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, Behold, they be at Naioth in
Ramah.
23. And he went thither to Naioth (H5121) in Ramah: and the Spirit of God was upon him also, and he went on, and
prophesied, until he came to Naioth (H5121) in Ramah. 24. And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before
Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say, Is Saul also among the
prophets?

David was a Warrior, Psalmist and King. However, was David also a Prophet?
Acts 2:29, 30 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. Therefore being a prophet,G4396 and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
prophet, G4396, prophētēs, a foreteller ("prophet"); by analogy, an inspired speaker; by extension, a poet:—prophet. A poet (because poets were believed to sing under divine inspiration). One who, moved by the Spirit of God and hence his organ or spokesman, solemnly declares to men what he has received by inspiration, especially concerning future events, and in particular such as relate to the cause and kingdom of God and to human salvation
Elijah, Elisha and the Sons (H1121) of the Prophets at Bethel.
2 Kings 2:1- And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
2. And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said unto him, As the LORD liveth,
and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Bethel. 3. And the sons (H1121) of the prophets that were at Bethel came
forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he said, Yea, I know it;
hold ye your peace. 4. And Elijah said unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Jericho. And he said, As the
LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho. 5. And the sons (H1121) of the prophets that were at
Jericho came to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he answered,
Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.
6. And Elijah said unto him, Tarry, I pray thee, here; for the LORD hath sent me to Jordan. And he said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul
liveth, I will not leave thee. And they two went on. 7. And fifty men of the sons (H1121) of the prophets went, and stood to view afar off:
and they two stood by Jordan.

Elisha, a wife of the Sons of the Prophets and the Miracle Oil. 2 Kings 4:1-7 Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons (H1121) of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the LORD: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen. 2. And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil. 3. Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.
4. And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full. 5. So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out. 6. And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed. 7. Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest.

The Conflict Between Spiritual Governments
During the reign of King Saul there were three spiritual governments operating in the nation of Israel. I describe them as follows:
1. King Saul and the ambitious nation.
2. SAMUEL AND THE ECSTATIC PROPHETS.
3. David and his mighty men.
Dictionary for ECSTATIC ec·stat·ic, adjective, feeling or expressing overwhelming happiness or joyful excitement.
synonyms: enraptured, elated, in raptures, euphoric, rapturous, joyful, overjoyed, blissful; on cloud nine, beside oneself
with joy, jumping for joy, delighted, thrilled, exultant;
Significant foundations in these spiritual governments were not compatible. This caused intense conflict. The same conflict exists in the Church today. However, in the midst of this conflict God is fashioning Davids. These Davids will be used to establish the government of God's Kingdom in unprecedented measure.
King Saul, Samuel, and David were all anointed in remarkable ways. They were all used to establish God's purposes for Israel. King Saul was anointed to unify the nation of Israel against her enemies. Samuel and the various prophetic communities were renowned for prophesying with great accuracy and releasing life-changing power encounters. When Saul met one of these groups he had a dramatic power encounter and was changed into another man (see 1 Samuel 10:6).
WHAT ABOUT THE THE COMPANY OF PROPHETS,
AND THE PHRASE, "AND THEY SHALL PROPHESY?"
DID SOMETHING HAPPEN WHEN IT WAS SPOKEN AND WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE?
The exact phrase "AND THEY SHALL PROPHESY" is written in 3 places in the Bible. One is in the Old Testament and two in the New Testament.
Saul was instructed by Samuel to find the Company of Prophets. What did a COMPANY OF PROPHETS consist of? It consisted of a leader, the FATHER/HEAD PROPHET, and family units consisting of the children (12 and under), youth (13 to 19), young men and women (20 +) and the old men and women (60 +). They were families of prophets that lived together in certain cities. Usually, the old men and women taught everyone younger than themselves how to walk in the anointing of the PROPHETIC, the PROPHET/PROPHETESS MINISTRY. When they got together, playing their instruments and singing the PRAISES OF GOD and WORSHIPING GOD, the PROPHETIC ANOINTING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT would fall upon them and would fall upon everyone else (including those who were in rebellion against the LORD and His ways) that came into the proximity of their group.

And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
this is that. Joel 2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
THE "MY TWO WITNESSES" OF REVELATION 11:3.Early Christians, such as Tertullian, Irenaeus, and Hippolytus of Rome, have concluded that the two witnesses would be Enoch and Elijah, prophets who did not die because God "took" them. Others speculate that the 2 witnesses are Moses and Elijah.

Schools of the Prophets, Talmadim--Sons of the Prophets
There were schools of the prophets in Gibeah (1 Samuel 10:5), Ramah (1 Samuel 19:18-24), Bethel (2 Kings 2:3), Jericho (2 Kings 2:15) and Gilgal (2 Kings 4:38). McClintock and Strong Encyclopedia places this Gibeah in the tribe of Benjamin (1 Samuel 13:15).7 Gibeah was just north of Jerusalem, not far from Ramah and Bethel. The precise location of this Ramah is unknown though some maps place it halfway between Jerusalem and Bethel.
The schools of the prophets existed as early as the inauguration of the united kingdom of Israel. The first biblical intimation of the schools of the prophets occurs in relationship to Samuel's anointing of Saul to be King (1 Samuel 10:1-13). Though there had been prophets before Samuel (i.e., Enoch, Jude 14-15; Abraham, Genesis 20:7; Moses, Deuteronomy 34:10), the existence of schools of the prophets is associated with Samuel and noteworthy prophets who followed him. "Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days" (Acts 3:24). Further, Samuel (the last judge, a prophet and a priest) presided over the schools of the prophets in his day. "And Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as appointed over them, the Spirit of God was upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied" (1 Samuel 19:20, emphasis added, ler). Hence, circumstantial evidence attributes the beginning of the schools of the prophets to Samuel. http://www.gospelgazette.com/gazette/2002/jul/page2.htm.
2 Kings 2:3 And the sons H1121 of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.

Philip had four daughters who prophesied, as we see inActs 21:8, 9.And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him.And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.
The Prophet Joel said the daughters would prophesy (Joel 2:28). There were a number of women in the Upper Room (Acts 1:14). The release of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost opened the door for women to be involved in the prophetic

Miriam, the sister of Moses, was a prophetess. In Exodus 15:20 she led the women in dancing to celebrate God's victory over Pharaoh. She is also recognized as being sent along with Moses and Aaron to bring Israel out of Egypt. She therefore played a prominent role in Israel's deliverance from bondage.

Huldah was a prophetess who was recognized by King Josiah. When the king discovered the Book of the Law, he rent his clothes and sent men to Huldah to inquire of the Lord. Huldah was the keeper of the king's wardrobe and spoke the word of the Lord to the king about the coming judgment upon Israel.
Then the king ordered... "Go and seek the Lord on my behalf and on the behalf of the remnant in Israel and Judah concerning what is written in the book that was found, for the wrath of the Lord that is poured out on us is great because our fathers have not kept the word of the Lord, to do everything that is written in this book."
So Hilkiah and those with the king went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tokhath, son of Hasrah, who kept the wardrobe. She lived in Jerusalem in the Second Quarter, and they spoke to her about this.
And she said to them, "So says the Lord God of Israel: Speak to the man who sent you all to Me" (2 Chron. 34:20-23).

Deborah was a national prophetess and judge, and she was a mother in Israel. She was recognized throughout Israel. People came to her to settle disputes. Prophets can help settle disputes. Deborah's role as a mother represented her love and compassion for Israel. Mothers can be prophets too. (Photo by Donna Smallenberg "The Song of Deborah" via elijahshopper.com)
Now Deborah, the wife of Lappidoth, was a prophetess. She judged Israel at that time (Judges 4:4).
Village life ceased. It ceased until I, Deborah, arose; I arose like a mother in Israel (Judges 5:7).

Isaiah's Wife. The Prophet Isaiah considered his wife to be a prophetess. This shows that both husband and wife can be prophets. This will make a strong prophetic team.
So I went in to the prophetess, and she conceived and bore a son. Then the Lord said to me, Call his name Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz (Isaiah 8:3).

Anna was a praying and fasting prophetess. She spoke to all those who were looking for redemption and the coming Messiah. By her prayer and fasting she helped prepare the way for the Lord to come. She prayed and fasted in the temple and did not depart from the house of God. Anna is a picture of the intercessory prophet.
And there was Anna a prophetess, a daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was of a great age and had lived with her husband seven years from her virginity. And she was a widow of about eighty-four years of age who did not depart from the temple, but served God with fasting and prayer night and day.
Coming at that moment she gave thanks to the Lord and spoke of Him to all those who looked for the redemption of Jerusalem (Luke 2:36-38).

Ezekiel Encyclopedia of World Biography | 2004

Ezekiel (active 6th century B.C.) was a Hebrew priest and prophet. He held that each man is responsible for his own acts.
Little is known about Ezekiel's personal life. The son of Buzi, he was apparently a descendant of the priestly family of Zadok. While in Jerusalem, he had been influenced by his older contemporary Jeremiah. Ezekiel was exiled to Babylonia with King Jehoiachin in 597 B.C. or shortly thereafter. Five years later he lived in the Babylonian Jewish settlement of Tel Aviv (Tel Abubu, the hill of the storm god) by the Chebar River. It was there that he received his call to prophecy in a mystical vision (Ezekiel 8:1 ff). Josephus speaks of Ezekiel as having been young at the time of his exile. Some would argue that is probably not correct because Ezekiel demonstrated the kind of precise knowledge of the Temple and its ritual that could be acquired only from personal and active participation as a priest in the Temple worship.
For 22 years Ezekiel continued his ministry. In his early period as a prophet, he denounced his people for their sins and corruption. After the destruction of Jerusalem in 586, however, Ezekiel became the consoler and comforter of the exiles, holding out to them the promise of return to the homeland and the restoration of the Temple and of the throne of David. Ezekiel's loftiest vision, that of the Valley of Dry Bones (37:1-14), has rarely been matched in its grandeur. It is the prophet's response to the despair of the exiles, and it has become a powerful symbol of hope, resurrection, and regeneration.
In the early days of his ministry, Ezekiel found it difficult to impress his doctrines upon his people. Later, particularly after the destruction of Jerusalem, they recognized him as their spiritual leader, and they turned to him for counsel in their religious dilemmas and perplexities. The community elders evidently assembled in his home for instruction and guidance (8:1 ff, 14:1 ff), and it is possible that the institution of the synagogue grew out of these gatherings. One of the primary religious issues raised in these meetings was the problem of God's justice. The exiles thought they were sinless and should not have to suffer for the sins of their ancestors. In his reply Ezekiel laid down a vital principle in Judaism. Before Ezekiel, Jeremiah had asserted that children are not answerable for their parents' sins. Ezekiel proclaimed a new doctrine, which represents an ethical advance. The individual alone, he said, bears responsibility for his deeds. The belief "If the fathers have eaten sour grapes, the children's teeth should be set on edge" (18:2) is no longer tenable. The truth is that "the soul that sinneth, it shall die" (18:4). In other words, one is not liable for another's actions, and the innocent cannot be held liable for the guilty; each one, moreover, must atone for his own sins. This idea was a powerful motivation for ethical living.
Ezekiel speaks of an attack of "Gog of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal" (38:2), who is to lead an armed horde of nations from the north against Israel before the inauguration of God's sovereignty. This idiom is obscure and has never been adequately explained. Gog is often mentioned in the apocalyptic works; it is to be found also in the Dead Sea Scrolls. In rabbinic works the wars of Gog and Magog are to precede the coming of the Messiah.
Ezekiel was the only Hebrew prophet who ministered to his people outside the Holy Land. He is unique in his frequent use of the term "son of man" as the manner of the divine address. Unlike other Hebrew prophets, who placed the ethical above the ritual, Ezekiel fused the two elements, thereby reflecting his dual role as a pious priest and inspired prophet.

Was Solomon a "Little Child" when he became King? Was he a Prophet?
When talking to God, Solomon didn't say, "BUT I AM LIKE A LITTLE CHILD." He did say "BUT I AM ONLY A LITTLE CHILD."
1 Kings 3:5-7 In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee. 6. And Solomon said, Thou hast shewed unto thy servant David my father great mercy, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great kindness, that thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day. 7. And now, O LORD my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a little child: I know not how to go out or come in.
NIV “Now, LORD my God, you have made your servant king in
place of my father David. But I am only a little child and do not
know how to carry out my duties.
1Kings 3:9 Give therefore thy servant H5650 an understanding
heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and
bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?

Levites etc)

Before David dies, he appoints as king his son Solomon, who is 12 years old at the time, with these words:
"I go the way of all the earth. You shall be strong, therefore, and show yourself a man, and keep the charge of the Lord your God to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes and His commandments and His testimonies. As it is written in the Law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn." (1 King 2:2-3)
This classic blessing is often quoted by fathers to their sons on the day of their Bar Mitzvah. It restates the cardinal rule that has guided the Jewish people from the time of the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai: in order to prosper keep the Torah.
Shortly after Solomon is anointed king, God appears to him in a dream in which He invites Solomon to make a request for himself. Solomon answers:
"I am but a small child ... Give therefore your servant an understanding heart to judge your people..."
His request pleases God who tells him:
"Because you have not requested riches and honor but only that which would benefit all the people, I will give you not only an understanding heart like none other before or after you ... but also riches and honor like no other king in your days." (1 Kings 3:7-13)
Born in 848 BCE, Solomon dies at age 52 in 796 BCE, ruling as king for 40 years -- the best years in all of Israel's history -- 40 years of peace and prosperity. He is known as chacham mi'kol ha'adam, "wisest of all the men." The Bible relates that kings from all over the world came to hear his wisdom, which included not only Torah wisdom, but also wisdom in secular knowledge and science. http://www.aish.com/jl/h/cc/48937102.html
Was Solomon considered a Prophet?
According to the Talmud, Solomon is one of the 48 prophets. Rashi, to Megillah, 14a
In Judaism 101, there is a list of 55 people who were considered PROPHETS in the Old Testament (I would include Daniel, Matthew 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)) which would make 56 PROPHETS, including 7 women. http://www.jewfaq.org/prophet.htm
There are also the Prophets and Prophetesses of the New Testament.
Anna. Luke 2:36, 37 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;
Agabus. Acts 21:10, 11 And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus.
Prophets from Jerusalem. Acts 11:27 And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.
Prophet/Teachers in the Church at Antioch. Acts 13:1 Now there were in the church at Antioch prophets and teachers, Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen a lifelong friend of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. ESV

Elisha calls on ONE of the CHILDREN OF THE PROPHETS--MORE THAN LIKELY A TEENAGER for this mission with instructions to FLEE AND NOT TARRY after anointing Jehoshaphat the next KING of Israel. (He probably chose a young teenager from the family of a prophet because they can run fast.)
