- Prophecy is a gift of the Spirit
- Prophecy as especially noted by Paul
Prophetic information does not come from cognition, it comes from God.God works with us; He does not "possess" us. He gives us boldness to exercise gifts. But, there is still human involvement. We can "experiment" with prophecy, because if it's wrong, you won't be stoned (like in the OT). People can weigh the prophecy. Prophecy can be planned or spontaneous. It can be the Bible or other words in agreement with the Bible.Prophecy can cause the Word of God to be rediscovered.- Hezekiah: good king, followed the law of God
Manasseh: evil king, followed the law of GodAmon: evil king- Josiah (boy king): 2 Chronicles 34:8-11
- Men found the Book of the Law
Josiah leads a national revivalProphecy is here to wake people up and rediscover the Word of God.
