Revelation 19:10 (msg) The witness of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

Or NLT: For the essence of prophecy is to give a clear witness for Jesus.

It is very human of us to make the gift of prophecy so complicated and self-focused, but once again, His word consistently points us back to the simple Truth that is Jesus. In Revelation, the gift of prophecy is revealed as the gift to articulate the infinite in such a way that others can see clearly Jesus Christ; we are to witness for Jesus, make Him clear to others! We have somehow made it about predicting the future, making ourselves some sort of chosen oracle. While we are chosen, which is no little thing, it is for God’s glory not human glory. A glory much greater and all-encompassing. It is a beautiful day to take our eyes off ourselves and look to the Lord.

Lord, help me never doubt You and Your Goodness and the beauty and Glory encompassed in the Simple Truth of You. Fill me with the Holy Spirit, opening my eyes to the infinite so that I may witness for You. Amen.
