Some folks claim there is no longer a legitimate prophetic gift of God in operation among Christians. They say Christ came and the gift of prophecy stopped right away or shortly thereafter. Have you ever heard or perhaps even yourself said, “We have Jesus. We have the Bible. So we don’t need prophecy any longer. God doesn’t do that anymore.” This perspective is called cessationist and it’s sometimes backed up with scriptures such as the one below.
“Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.” (Heb 1:1-4 ESV)
