Gift of Prophecy

Biblical prophets are well known and well regarded. But prophets still exist today. Most often encounter someone who claims to be a prophet when he or she says something like, "God has given me a word for you." It seems religious. It often seems like something we want to hear. But the true test of a prophet is the direction of his or her words. The essence of prophecy is to give clear witness for Jesus and direction to God - not from Him. (Revelation 19:10)
