Prophecy: The Gift VS. The office
R.G. Hardy
God has always had a voice in the Earth. In the Old Testament, he revealed His word to prophets who heard, saw (seers), and spoke for God. In this office, they functioned by "foretelling" or predicting under divine inspiration what was to happen in the present and the future. In the New Testament, there are nine gifts or manifestations of the Holy Spirit, and one of them is prophecy.
A problem we see in the church today is confusing the gift of prophecy with the office of the prophet. The internet is loaded with mis-titled prophets and prophetesses. As predicted by the prophet Joel and fulfilled on the day of Pentecost, everyone under the anointing can prophesy. This is not to "foretell" as the prophets of old, but to "forthtell."
