Grace, Hope & Peace, Friend;

Prophecy at its most basic definition is “a message from God.” So, to prophesy is to proclaim a message from God. The one who does this is, therefore, a prophet. Although foretelling is often associated with prophecy, revealing the future is not a necessary element of prophecy.

God told Moses, "Go, and I Myself will be with your mouth, and instruct you in what you are to say." (Exodus 4:12) And Jesus said, "The Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say." (Luke 12:12) He gave us His Spirit to "Guide us into all the truth." (John 16:13)

Peter wrote, "No prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God." (2 Peter 1:21)

Any message that does not come from God, is NOT prophecy!

When Jesus said, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation." (Mark 16:15) He made each one of His followers a prophet!

"Proclaim God's message of love and salvation to everyone."

A psalmist wrote, "Do not take the word of truth utterly out of my mouth, for I wait for Your judgments." (Psalm 119:43) Or "Never keep me from speaking Your truth. I depend on your fair laws." (ICB)

Does that prayer echo in our thoughts?

El Elyon - God Most High - help me share Your message faithfully in what I say and do.

Do not quench the Spirit.
	1 Thessalonians 5:19

Proclaim His message,
