My best friend has the spiritual gift of prophecy. I may need to explain that a bit: Christian prophecy doesnt have much to do with foretelling the future, although God can grant that if He wishes. It has much more to do with seeing the power of God at work in the world, envisioning the spiritual battles that rage all around us, and with communicating the miraculous power and message of God to His people.
One of the lessons that I teach around Christian goal setting centers around Psalm 37:4: Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. I believe that our desires are our deepest values, the holy touchstones that God created in each one of us. One persons values and deepest desires may be service, compassion, family; anothers may be beauty, leadership, security; still anothers may be freedom, growth, meaning. We all have them, although in our sin we can try to live them out badly! But God created the values within each individual, and He firmly tied the fulfillment of our values to our relationship with Him.
