This word “prophecy” is one of those
words that has various meanings and it all depends on the context it is in.
When I saw it in this scripture below, I just knew it was time to do a little
research on this word to help me better comprehend. Prophesy can mean
foretelling as most of us probably know but it also means forth telling which
in a nut shell means proclaiming the truth. It turns out “prophet” in Greek
means to announce and prophets were considered “messengers of God”. So in plain
21st century language, when we have the Holy Spirit in us we become messengers
of God who proclaim the truth.
Acts:
19:2 and 6 “Did you
receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?”
When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and
they spoke in tongues and prophesied.
