Jan 4, 2022 · Answer. To prophesy is simply to speak prophecy. Prophecy is the noun, and prophesy is the verb. Prophecy at its most basic definition is “a message from God.”.

However, we also could list examples of the scary uses of other spiritual gifts, such as teaching or healing, yet we would not say that we should therefore avoid teaching people or praying for their healing. So we must also not let the misuse of prophecy cause us to miss out on the benefits the Spirit wants us to receive through this gift’s proper ...
What do you do if you’re not sure what to do next? How do we give legs to our “earnest desire”? First, remember that prophecy is a gift of the Holy Spirit. It is given.

Paul does refer to the gathered church in 1 Corinthians 14. But here are a few observations to keep in mind. First, most of the churches Paul was writing to were much smaller groups than many of our churches today. Many would have been the size of large “small groups” to us. Second, we can tell from 1 Corinthians 14:26that the way these churches structured their worship gatherings was different than the programmatic ways many of our churches structure our gatherings today. Third, nowhere in t...
