The Spiritual Gift of Prophecy and How does it manifest?


Listen Later

In this message, Andrew preaches on the Spiritual Gift of Prophecy.
Prophecy is an important verbal manifestation of the Spirit. An important revelatory gift, where a believer is empowered by the Spirit to prophesy, communicating God's will to his people, to guide and direct them in their walk with God. Instructional guidance, that is always in conformity with the truth of scripture, declaring the truth of God's will for each believer, in any season, delivered in such a way that encourages us to keep the faith and become more like Christ.
In 1 Corinthians chapter 14, the Apostle Paul exhorts that prophecy is a greater gift because it builds up all in attendance. Intelligible revelation, speech that is discernable by all. Affirming and validating the activity of God amongst His people.
His discourse on the spiritual gifts (1 Cor 12-14) affirms that not only are the spiritual gifts for every believer as the Holy Spirit determines (1 Cor 12:7,11), but the normal pursuit for all believers during these last days.
Just as salvation is a free gift given out God's love, so also love is the spiritual makeup and vehicle of delivery for the gifts.
The key aspect of spiritual gifts, including prophecy is one cannot work in exchange for receiving a particular desired spiritual gift. The gifts are simply not for sale. No keynote speaker, nor any person, aside from Holy Spirit has the authority to ensure the impartation of a spiritual gift. Instead, the Holy Spirit is active in distributing to each person as he wills, for the common good of building up the church.
