““impacted my life more than any other leader, defined prophecy in the following way: The gift of prophecy is the supernaturally imparted ability to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit and speak God’s mind or counsel. Prophecy ministers not only to the assembled group of believers, but also to individuals. Its three main purposes are: To edify = to build up, strengthen, to make more effective. To exhort = to stimulate, to encourage, to admonish. To comfort = to cheer up. Thus prophecy overcomes two of satan’s most common attacks: condemnation and discouragement.3””
