The Gift of Prophecy
"In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you" (Romans 12:6 nlt).
I'm a little suspicious of someone who claims to be a prophet of God because sometimes I've seen abuse in this area, especially during crises. The Bible also warns there will be false prophets in the last days.
However, there is a spiritual gift of prophecy where someone speaks for God, and God speaks through them.
In Romans 12 the apostle Paul shares a partial list of spiritual gifts, and prophecy is the first spiritual gift that he identifies.
Prophecy has been defined in different ways both in the Old and New Testaments. For example, it can mean to speak for another as a representative of God. However, the prophet always must be held accountable to the Scriptures.
In the Old Testament, God raised up certain prophets including Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, and Jonah. In some instances, these prophets foretold the future. Daniel foretold the future in graphic detail. So did Isaiah and Ezekiel. |
