Some believers get prophecies as it is the plan of God for the purpose of their lives. Prophetic guidance is to help believers be able to see the intent and purpose for their lives from God. When the prophecy has been revealed, they can walk in accordance to it in order to fulfill the purpose of God. This strengthens their faith.
All believers and followers of Christ have the ability to hear from God. This ability is made possible when there is a strong relationship between you and the Creator through active powerful prayers. When this has been achieved, you can receive prophetic guidance. To receive prophecies one must have a good relationship with God with a special connection.
Predicting the future is not really the true purpose of prophecy. Prophecy seeks to have revealed the unending love God has for His people and the purpose He has for them. For this reasons, the main job for prophets is not to actually serve people as individuals but as the whole church.
The Holy Spirit is part of the trinity and was give to Christians by Christ when he left the earth to come back again. The Spirit is to guide Christians in their daily walk with God. The bible says that when we have the Spirit in us we are not confused of what to do because we have an anointing to know what we need to know.
The apostles as well as Christ himself told Christians to be careful about the false prophets. False prophets speak their own message. To differentiate their message from the right message we have to have the Holy Spirit. If you hear a message from a prophet that you have not heard before from the Spirit then you need to careful about it. The prophets only confirm what the Spirit is saying.
Prophets need not to be the source of all the answers for your life as this is not biblical. Everyone who follows Christ and knows him has been given the Spirit to guide them to hear the word from God. Prophets should never replace this critical role of the Holy Spirit. In addition, the word is complete as well perfect to counsel, criticize and offer guidance. God also speaks to His people through others.
When under the prophetic guidance be keen of your actions. Let the blessing you have be reflected in all your actions and let them be used to preach the Gospel. Remember to be as holy as Christ and let the gifts he gives you help you to teach others about Him. When in doubt, pray in faith and read the bible to know what God wants you to do.
