Chris.
Especially, the Ministry of the New Testament Prophet is a gift from the Lord for God's People (the Church). The Message of the New Testament Gift of Prophecy is for edification, exhortation and comfort. There is a Ministry Gift Prophet, who is given to the Church, telling forth the Word of God. There should be absolutely no similarity between the Biblical New Testament Prophet and the "fortune teller"!
