Prophecy: The ability to teach difficult biblical truths in a way others can understand, provide guidance and insight, to strengthen, encourage, and comfort the body.

Acts 21:8-9 NLT

The next day we went on to Caesarea and stayed at the home of Philip the Evangelist, one of the seven men who had been chosen to distribute food. He had four unmarried daughters who had the gift of prophecy.

God gives us gifts with the expectation
that we will use them!

1 Peter 4:10 CEV

Each of you has been blessed with one of God’s many wonderful gifts to be used in the service of others. So use your gift well.

Your personal faith empowers your public gifts

Romans 12:6 NET

And we have different gifts according to the grace given to us. If the gift is prophecy, that individual must use it in proportion to his faith.

Your age or marital status is not an excuse for not use your gifts

1 Corinthians 7:34-35 NLT

In the same way, a woman who is no longer married or has never been married can be devoted to the Lord and holy in body and in spirit. But a married woman has to think about her earthly responsibilities and how to please her husband. I am saying this for your benefit, not to place restrictions on you. I want you to do whatever will help you serve the Lord best, with as few distractions as possible.

Your gender should never deter you from using your gifts

Acts 2:17-18 NLT

‘In the last days,’ God says, ‘I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams. In those days I will pour out my Spirit even on my servants—men and women alike—and they will prophesy.
