Here’s a quick rundown of the top stories on mycharisma.com:
Some people do not believe the gifts of the Holy Spirit are for today, especially the prophetic, because of extremes they might have seen and because of Bible teachers that have dismissed the prophetic or any current proceeding word from God. The world’s largest Protestant denomination states in its organization’s doctrine that God no longer speaks to people past the last written Scripture. But the gifts of the Spirit are biblical, and their functions in the body of Christ have not ceased.
We know the prophetic is for our benefit because in 1 Corinthians 12:7 Paul says, “But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.” Therefore, the prophetic is a must for our productivity in the Holy Spirit. The operation of spiritual gifts in your life is essential for the glory of the Lord to become manifest. If you want to fulfill all that God has called you to do, you must embrace these gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Let’s start by looking at four different realms of the prophetic.

Smith released his book, “Like a River” which details his life’s journey after losing his son, River. His son’s death was also a pivotal moment for a redirection in his career.
“It was the first time that I got up to tour after losing River, [and it] was an attempt to have a change of scenery,” Smith said. “The first time ever in decades I thought ‘This is meaningless.’ You know, I felt like Solomon at some level saying that, this is all in Ecclesiastes, this is all dust, this meaningless.”
Smith said that he was able to perform and engage with audiences, but that it was the first time his experience was different than it had been in the past.
