Prophesying is excelling in revealing Gods heart, Gods will, Gods way, and Gods economy to His people. When we prophesy, we speak what is on Gods heart, and we speak Gods will, Gods way, and Gods economy. Actually, all the Epistles written by the apostles are books of prophecy, not in the sense of prediction, but in the sense of speaking for God and speaking forth God into people. There are some predictions in the Epistles, but mainly they speak for Christ, speak forth Christ, and speak Christ into people, dispense Christ into people. Some may consider that the entire book of Revelation is merely a book of prediction, but this book is a speaking forth of the Lord to His people. Whenever I read the book of Revelation, Christ is ministered to me. When I read this book, I have the feeling that Christ is dear and near to me, that He is so intimate and lovable. The more we read the book of Revelation, the more we will love Christ. If you read the book of Revelation, and you only receive an impression of predictions, that proves that you do not know how to read the Bible properly and that you do not understand the Bible. If we know how to read the Bible and understand the Bible, our impression from reading Revelation will not be of predictions, but of a dear One and a near One, who is so lovable and intimate to us. If we know the New Testament, whatever book or page we read, we will be impressed with the present Christ, the Christ today, the Christ this hour. Paul prophesied by writing his fourteen Epistles. Peter prophesied by writing his two Epistles. James, John, and Jude did the same by writing their Epistles. All the Epistles are prophesyings. In the Epistles, we can see Gods heart, Gods will, Gods way, and Gods economy. (The Advance of the Lords Recovery Today by Witness Lee, chapter6, section 3) Living Stream Ministry
