Prophecy cannot flow through a vessel that is anchored to something other than Christ, and "objects of faith" is the name for everything that fills that gap.

This is the third installment in the "Can I Prophesy" series, and the teaching turns to the specific problem of objects of faith: persons, positions, places, and people that believers treat as stepping stones into intimacy with God. The session opens by consolidating the 10 Commandments of Prophecy established over the previous two weeks, covering the definition of prophecy as a gift of Christ through the Holy Spirit, the standard that all prophecy must be rooted in the testimony of Christ and evidenced in the word, and the clear warning that any prophetic word drawing someone toward condemnation, fear, or a mediator outside of God is not a word of God. The argument is precise: when a believer looks to a prophet's chair, a prophet's garment, or a prophet's presence as the conduit for what already lives in them by the Holy Spirit, they have made that person or thing an object of faith, and that object blocks true prophetic flow. Prophecy is not plate numbers or wardrobe instructions. It is the unveiling of the mystery that sons are one with Christ, and it belongs to every believer who bears witness to that testimony.
