• True prophecy is not about predicting the future—it’s about proclaiming a now word that edifies, exhorts, and comforts.

• Prophecy must always point to Jesus and align with Scripture.

• Every Spirit-filled believer can operate in the gift of prophecy, though not all are called to the office of a prophet.

• The key to growing in prophecy is intimacy with God and surrender to the Holy Spirit.

Takeaway Thought

Prophecy isn’t about hype or spiritual superiority—it’s about carrying the heart of God to the world around you. It’s about building others up, revealing Jesus, and calling people into alignment with His truth. When you pursue love first and cultivate intimacy with the Lord, you will hear His voice more clearly and speak His words with boldness.
