P.O.M.E. THE PROPHETIC ORDER OF MAR ELIJAH

by Pr. Gloria Jean Kelley

The Prophetic Order Of Mar Elijah came into effect in 1998. The Master Prophet heard the call from God to raise up 300 prophets. As he obeyed the word of the Lord, the prophetic order began to manifest with prophets coming in from all parts of the world. P.O.M.E. is an order of mysteries. It is a state of mind. The Order is invisible because it has no traceable external origins. It is visible as it becomes incarnate in men and women on earth that have answered the call of the prophetic in their life. The Prophetic Order of Mar Elijah is a living organization that encompasses private, closeddoor meetings with The Master Prophet and other chosen men and women of God. The primary course of training requires one to pass through the School of the Prophets levels one, two, and three and to complete the textbook Spiritual Protocol. The Prophetic Order of Mar Elijah is comprised of different offices within the order. The first office being...

THE CLASSMASTER: The Classmasters are those prophets in the order that have been called out and set apart for a specific purpose-that of mentor, teacher (of the Word of God), example, sage, leader, guiding those whose spiritual growth had been entrusted to them. It is not an office that one seeks to attain, rather an office that is God-ordained. It is fulfilled under the guidance of the Master Prophet. The Classmaster is not a novice in the order. He/she is one who has attained maturity in the faith, lives a life of integrity, and is able to rightly divide the Word of the Lord. Classmasters have the charge to use their knowledge and experience to lead others that are entrusted in their care into paths of rightwise-ness. They have gone through intensive

study with the Master Prophet and other masters. They have been privileged to study the works of the great mystics-both ancient and modern. They have read of, studied, and practiced their teachings. They lead their students into the worlds of the known and the unknown. They lead and serve by example. They have a willingness to share, to care, to be bold, and to dare.

THE TEMPLE SEER: What is a “seer”? A Seer is one who sees in the supernatural realm-one who sees beforehand. The Seer receives divine revelation through the act of seeing. In the Old Testament prophets were known as “Seers.” God set prophets and Seers in the house of the Lord to bring about order, organization, and structure. While the Seer is one who sees visions, a prophet is a spokesman- the man/woman who has been assigned by the Holy Spirit to speak on behalf of God. All Prophets are certainly Seers, but not all Seers are Prophets. Seers have special sight and insight into governmental aspects of the Church, as well as into the function of the members of the body. God assigns Seers to Leaders. (2 Samuel 24:11-12) The Seer exercises spiritual vision to clearly see the mind of the Lord. Manifested prophecy is where the word of the Lord flows through the Seer and brings edification, exhortation, and comfort. It also brings direction, confirmation, and correction.

THE TEMPLE GUARD: The Temple Guard is the Protector/Keeper of P.O.M.E. The Temple Guards are the carriers/guardians of the secrets of the order. They are the doorkeepers to the mysteries held within the order. Temple Guards are the ones who have mastered the secrets and reverence the demonstration of God’s presence. Every member of P.O.M.E must be examined by a Temple Guard in order to gain entrance into the sacred order and meetings within the order. No member of the order shall have the authority to admit a member against the decision of the Temple Guards. No member shall form any association for buying or selling anything, without the knowledge of the Temple Guards. Temple Guards are sworn to honesty, integrity, and faithfulness.

INITIATE: This is the next level of training for the Neophyte. An initiate should have completed two years of training before they are eligible to be advanced to this level. To distinguish an Initiate from a Neophyte, the Initiate is clothed with a brown robe. This means that they have completed their primary training and are ready for the next level of impartation.

NEOPHYTE: The word “neophyte” means “new convert” or novice. It is derived from the Greek word “neophytes,” meaning newly planted. A neophyte is a beginner of a religious or mystic order. A neophyte is a beginner on the path of prophetic development. Since a neophyte comes into the Prophetic Order as a novice, God uses the Master Prophet to provide, nurturing, mentoring, biblical teaching, esoteric and metaphysical illumination for the development of the prophet. When a neophyte comes into the Prophetic Order, they are to walk in silence for two years as they are receiving instructions and training. They are assessed during this time for the level of submission, obedience, dedication, and skill in the prophetic. Upon successful completion of this training period, they are then allowed to be promoted to the next level of training. Every Prophet comes into the Prophetic Order as a Neophyte.

FLEDGLING: Fledglings are young people starting from the age of eight, that feel they have a prophetic calling on their life. Their parents/guardians must be a member of the Prophetic Order for them to gain entry. They submit to the training and teaching of the Prophetic Order of Mar Elijah until they reach age 18, when they are promoted to the next level.
