The Heat of Prophecy

Graham Cooke

The chief role of a New Testament prophet is not to prophesy. Primarily it is to teach people how to hear the voice of God, to find and live in the will of God for themselves. 

It is to teach people how to move in the prophetic, but even those things are not the prime gifting of a prophet. The real ministry of a prophet, I believe, is to make God radiant, is to tell people how wonderful, how amazing, how astonishing He is and to introduce superlatives back into our prayer language and into our witness of who God is.
