Well said, JJ, and, it should go for 'giving prophecies,' too.
The Lord leads. Be led
My big question is always this: WHY do I need to prophesy in my life or hear prophesies of things to come in my life ? I don't EXCEPT when the Lord speaks one to me, which is few and far between in my life, like once, WHEN i WAS ON A TRIP WITH A BUDDY TO FLORIDA, CROSS COUNTRY DRIVING FROM WASHINGTON STATE AND A GUY IN MONTGOMERY ALABAMA, while we were getting gas at station at 10 pm, PROPHESIED i WOULD DIED BY AGE 25.
nOW, i NEARLY died that very night, falling asleep at the wheel around 2am (buddy and I young, taking turns driving, we made Seattle to Florida in 55 hours, a slow way to get there, way back was 50 hours
) , waking up only after car hit the dirt off the pavement. If that road would have been smooth, the chances I still here not good. Also, at age 25, I didn't almost die physically but spirituallly I was in trouble in my life, with things of money getting me away from God and that success God plowed into , to likely keep me thinking rightly of what He wanted me in life to think of.
Think it all what you want. This is not exactly biblical prophecy but it is personal prophecy someone did against my life and EVERYONE can think of things said to them as true or not, but, then again, everyone can think of what Christ siad true or not true
The Lord leads. Believe. Receive. Have
