Title: Gift Of Prophecy
Focus: Focused Attention
This requires focused attention. I compared this to the hammer and nails. God is the power of the hammer and the nails are the words spoken and we must focus our attention to place and connect God and those words to the people he wants them spoken to.
This gift brings edification, exhortation and comfort to those that hear these words from God.
God directs us on what he is focused on and what we should focus our attention on.
The gift of prophecy is to bring a word of comfort in season to those who need to hear that word from the Lord It is to encourage and comfort the church
To speak forth by divine inspiration, the proclamation of God's truth. It is a spiritual gift that involves speaking under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, often for the edification, exhortation, and comfort of the church

What Perspective change do you have about the Gift Of Prophecy?
To match most of everyone’s answer is how the Gift of Prophecy is sooo different from a Prophet. With this new light it take away a lot of “pressure” of using this gift.
What do you believe was the key thing that would keep you from working with this gift?
For me, it is taking myself out of proportion, it’s easy to have your thoughts about a situation as Melissa has brought out. And like I mentioned in my previous answer the “pressure”. It kind of reminds me of when Bishop brings up that one church he visited where everyone was trying to out-prophecy each other. I’m the complete…
What Perspective change do you have about the Gift Of Prophecy?
I appreciate that Ps. Aaron brought out that this is a gift for the believer! It's not the office of the prophet but rather the opportunity to bring precise edification, exhortation, and comfort that is beyond our own knowledge and understanding.
What do you believe was the key thing that would keep you from working with this gift?
I think there have been times that I have pushed this gift aside and not desired it because I have wanted to the prophecy to be something more than edification, exhortation, and comfort (1 Corinthians 14:3-5)
How Does pursuing the Father help you be positioned to take hold of this gift?
What Perspective change do you have about the Gift Of Prophecy?
The gift of prophecy may not be grand and timeless like how the office of the Prophet operates. But, it is personal, now, right here in the time directly to the person it's meant for.
What do you believe was the key thing that would keep you from working with this gift?
Just plain thinking too much. Thinking too much, getting worked up about the moment with someone. So worried about what to say or that I need to feel like I said the right thing, yada, yada. That blocks actually listening to them and tuning in, listening to God, to make the connection and bridge the gap between…

The gift of the spirit. To give us a message from God.
It is converin his hart and mind with other's. The ones that God has chosen to phophcy over people. It is a message from God it could involve strength, encouraginment, and comfort, and even a message of change.
What do you believe was the key thing that would keep you from working in the gift?
Me and my ego: I need to humble myself and serve the father. And for me to understand that the gift of the spirits are not for one's personal gains but to serve and obey the father with others with a humble heart.
What Perspective change do you have about the Gift Of Prophecy? I think the clarification of the purpose of the gift of prophecy was excellent--being that it's meant for someone in the moment that God is doing something to help edify (build them up), exhort (encourage), or comfort. People experience life every day and God knows exactly what they need when they need it to help them.
What do you believe was the key thing that would keep you from working with this gift? Not staying close the Father and doing what He is doing. If I don't stay close to Him, I won't be in the right place (in connection to Him) to hear Him and what He is…
