“When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied.” Acts 19:6 (NIV)
Christ gives us power to prophesy out of the Spirit of God. The word ‘prophesied’ in this passage is defined as speaking with divine revelation of future events and also what is on the mind of the Lord in that moment. What a wonderful gift to be able to speak THE word at just the right time in someone’s life. The word of life builds others up and draws them closer to Christ. The power to prophesy isn’t limited to only those who operate in the office of a prophet. The new Christians in Ephesus prophesied and you can too. In the power of Jesus, speak words from your heart to others which bring edification, exhortation, and comfort.
