The Bible is filled with God’s prophetic words. In the Old Testament the role of a prophet was to faithfully speak God’s Word to the people. Today, the gift of prophecy is given through the Holy Spirit to build up the church. God promised prophecy would continue in the last days (Joel 2:28-32, Acts 2) Learn how this is a special gift to be desired and how God may also reveal Himself through words of wisdom and knowledge!
