Gift of Prophecy (Part 1)
Charisma and CharacterSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg discusses the subject of prophecy and its role in Christianity, drawing from 1 Corinthians 14 and other biblical references. Prophecy, which is often paired with the gift of discerning spirits, is emphasized as a means of edification, exhortation, and comfort within the church. Gregg also highlights the importance of testing prophecy to ensure its accuracy and authenticity. While prophets in the Bible were often viewed as highly respected individuals, Gregg notes that anyone can be called to prophesy and stresses the importance of discernment in determining the legitimacy of prophetic messages.
