So I just finished a Spiritual gifts inventory and it told me that I have the gift of Prophecy. The book says about Prophecy:
"the gift of speaking the word of God clearly and faithfully. Prophets allow God to speak through them to communicate the message that people most need to hear. While often unpopular, prophets are able to say what needs to be said because of the spiritual empowerment they receive. Prophets do not foretell the future, but they proclaim God's future by revealing God's perspective on our current reality."
I feel that this does speak well to me. For those that only think of prophecy as telling the future I would say no, but to hear that it is proclaiming God's future. I pray for wisdom and grace as I pray for courage to proclaim the future God holds before us.
Will you join me?

Not surprising to me, especially as a prophet is described by the textbook. I have found that spiritual gift inventories are rather surprising and affirming at the same time. My own spiritual gifts were not what I would have listed at first, but the test revealed what I had to agree were indeed spiritual gifts.
My experience of you reveals a multitude of gifts, but I can surely affirm that you have the gift of prophet.
