In the times of the Old and New Testaments, God guided his people through prophecy. Now, in the twentieth century, the prophetic gifts are reappearing within the charismatic renewal. Can this modern revival of prophecy truly bring God's words to the church? Bruce Yocum believes it can, if Christians learn to use the gift properly. PROPHECY discusses the basic nature of prophecy, and offers guidelines on receiving prophetic inspiration, delivering prophecies to a group, judging false prophecies, and maturing in the use of prophetic gifts. He focuses on the role of the Christian community in testing and forming prophets who can be trusted to speak the word of the Lord.
