Biblically speaking, a prophet is simply (though it is not a simple calling by any means) a spokesperson for God. That is our call, a gift given to us in baptism. We are to speak for God, to announce and radiate God’s presence, and to build up the church. We speak for God, because we speak for God’s people, to give encouragement and comfort.
This is true prophecy. Let’s sign up.
