So in my three years in faith one thing I have run across often and also that is the most misused title within God's kingdom is a prophet. Many claim to be a prophet and claim to have had a divine revelation and almost always they are attacked or demanded to prove they are legit prophets because in this day and age false prophets and false teachers are abound everywhere. I also think many have the wrong idea of what a prophet does and what a prophet is, some think that a prophet is one who receives divine revelations via dreams visions or some other means and explains future events to come and warnings of mass destruction.
But I don't think this is what a prophet is, in my view a prophet is nothing more than a messenger, he or she hears God's message and they speak it to the people, they have an ear for God's voice. visions and divine revelations do not make one a prophet in my view, yes you may have the gift of prophecy but a prophet isn't just about prophecy they bear the the role of being God's voice to the ppl. in the Old testament when the jews were confused and needed direction they often times went to the prophet to hear what God would say to them. back then or at least as far as I have read not just anyone claimed to be a prophet but in this day and age many make this claim whether they are legit or not or whether they purposely misleading or not.
I don't know if this is true or if it is biblical or not but I have always seen a prophet very high ranked in God's kingdom which is why I get so upset when my friends call me the prophet to mess with me because firstly I am not a prophet secondly assuming I am correct a prophet is very high ranked in God's kingdom and so I do not enjoy being called that out of mockery. I have yet to meet one legit prophet but I do believe they exist still, after all I cannot say they don't exist anymore simply because I have not seen them yet however false prophets are very real and honestly I think a lot of them are simply confused, true there are some with dark intentions but I think many Think they are hearing God's voice when it is there own or even the enemies. our voice and the enemies voice is much easier to hear and can easily if we allow it be seen as God's voice.
I can't tell you how much I want to meet a real legit prophet but searching on the web for one does no good not to mention if I did find one I likely would not be able to speak with them.But being a prophet is not an easy job in fact it is one of the hardest because you will be attacked quite often and be called horrible things and ppl will speak lies of you and will try to do everything to bring you down and make sure you can't get back up. If anyone wants to be a prophet I think they might consider the cost
