We believe and have experienced time after time that God still speaks to His people today. Prophecy is seeing what God sees, hearing what God is saying, and speaking His truth into a person, through a prophetic act, or through a circumstance. In teaching about spiritual gifts, the apostle Paul said that we should eagerly desire to operate in all the gifts, but especially the gift of prophecy. Why? Because it is a gift that God designed to build others up. We are strengthened, encouraged, and comforted through prophecy. Prophesy is a gift given by the Holy Spirit. 1 Cor. 14:3 says that “he who prophesies speaks to men for their strengthening, encouragement and comfort.” 1 Cor. 14:39 says to “be eager to prophesy.”
