1. When God was about to destroy Sodom, He revealed to Abraham what He was about to do. God reveals His heart to those who walk with Him. Everything He is about to do, He first reveals to this type of person. Abraham then prayed and interceded for Lot. One of the functions of a prophet is to intercede for people (Genesis 18:16-17, 22-32).
2. A prophet feeds on the word of the Lord, “eats” His words. The word of the Lord is joy and gladness to the heart. Prophets are called by the name of the Lord. By immersing themselves in the word, they are identified with Christ, with the Lord Himself. When they open their mouths, it is God who speaks through them (Jeremiah 15:16).
3. The word that comes from the mouth of God is the word of life. This word introduces us into the fellowship of life, and the fellowship of life is with God Himself, with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ. This is what makes someone a true prophet of God in everyday life, including in the streets, by speaking and interceding for people (1 John 1:1-3).
4. “The Lord Jesus lifted up on the cross, like the bronze serpent, in the likeness of a man, yet in Him there was no sin. To look at the bronze serpent, Christ, means to believe. Whoever believes in Him has eternal life (John 3:14-15).” (Romans 8:3; 2 Corinthians 5:21) (Daily Food, book 4, week 1, Wednesday, page 12).
