Description

When you see a wrong committed, are you someone who feels compelled to express your disdain with it?  If so, you probably have the motivational gift of prophecy.

In this message, Dr. Stanley uses examples from the life of Peter to illustrate the characteristics of a person with this giftedness. These include:

- The need to express thoughts and attitudes verbally
- The ability to identify character and motives of other people
- Openness about personal faults and failures
- A genuine concern for the reputation of God.
- A tendency to be painfully direct when correcting someone else 
- Persuasive in appealing for outward change
- A sense of genuine commitment and loyalty
- A strong dependence on Scripture to validate convictions

Dr. Stanley also explains how people misunderstand these qualities, and what happens when a person with the motivational gift of prophecy walks in the Spirit rather than in the flesh.

Learn to love those with the gift of prophecy in your life and ask God to help you encourage them to honor the Lord and faithfully serve Him.
