… He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. – John 14:12-21

Likewise, when we sense that love of the Father and the Son, we love doing what Jesus asks from us. As we act, our understanding becomes clearer.
In this, we come to live prophetically.
Prophecy knows many levels, including the standard dictionary meanings in which prophecy (1) tells what will happen if the people continue to be unfaithful; (2) speaks when or as divinely inspired; and (3) interprets Scripture through the Light of the Holy Spirit.
And then Christ’s Universal Love transforms them.
