But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. - 1 Corinthians 2:10-11
Prophecy is a spiritual gift given to Christians by the Holy Spirit. The gift should strengthen the believers and glorify Jesus.
Prophecy is God speaking His mind, His heart, and His intentions to the church through a believer as revealed by the Holy Spirit. Prophecy is the outflow of the heart and the very nature of God.
To prophesy is to speak the mind of God for the purpose of direction, building, and encouragement of the church.
For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. - Revelation 19:10
The prophet is one sent by God to speak the word of the Lord to an individual or group of people, most often to a church. A seasoned and mature prophet is a God-called, God-trained individual who God has shaped and molded into a spokesperson for Himself.
A prophet is someone who serves as a regular and reliable channel of communication between God and man and stands before man on behalf of the Lord.
