What Is the Gift of Prophecy? Guidance on Prophecy Prophecy is a supernatural utterance in a known language. Paul urged Christians to seek this gift above all others. Rev. Kenneth E. Hagin, whose ministry spanned almost 70 years, was generally acknowledged to stand in the office of the prophet. In The Gift of Prophecy, Rev. Hagin explains the differences between the simple gift of prophecy and the office of the prophet; between prophecy in the Old and New Testaments; and between interpretation of tongues and prophecy. He shows why scathing denunciation is not the gift of prophecy in operation; what part your personality plays in the operation of the gift; why you should be careful concerning prophetic guidance; and how you can learn to judge prophecies.
