In the wake of the crash that killed two ministers, some prophets claimed they had foreseen the accident.
In a statement, the office said it wanted prophecies about political leaders, governance, and national security, among others.
“Any prophecy or spiritual insight of a national nature, especially those with implications for high-profile political leaders, governance, national security, or public stability, should be formally relayed to the Office of the Presidential Envoy for urgent review and appropriate escalation.”
The Office of the Presidential Envoy for Interfaith and Ecumenical Relations also called for 'intense prayers' following the helicopter crash.
It singled out the President, John Mahama, and all state institutions as targets for these prayers.
Following the request, the Pentecostal and Charismatic Council said it had not yet received formal communication from the Office of the Presidential Envoy for Interfaith and Ecumenical Relations regarding the request for prophecies.
Its General Secretary, Apostle Immanuel Tettey, told Citi News the council would respond when notified formally.
About the Ghana Air Force helicopter crash
Defence Minister Dr Edward Omane Boamah and Environment, Science and Technology Minister Dr Ibrahim Murtala Muhammed were the two ministers killed in the helicopter crash at Adansi Akrofuom.
The helicopter the officials were travelling in crashed into a dense forest as it was flying from Accra to Obuasi for a state event.
An eyewitness at the helicopter crash site claimed the helicopter hit a tree and a mountain before going down in flames in a thick forest.
Another eyewitness told the BBC the helicopter was unusually low when it crashed. One man said he heard the sound of the helicopter passing by, followed by a loud bang.

The army personnel who died in the crash were Sergeant Ernest Addo Mensah, Squadron Leader Peter Bafemi Anala and Flying Officer Manin Twum-Ampadu.
Farmers upset with probe into helicopter crash
YEN.com.gh also reported that some farmers were complaining of starvation because the investigations into the GAF helicopter crash on August 6 had denied them access to their farms in Adansi Akrofuom.
MP for Akrofrom, Joseph Azumah, urged residents to cooperate with investigations into the crash. One of the residents commented that since the tragedy, they had to buy goods they sold from street shops.
