Daily Double The prophet is the only man who speaks for the Lord in everything. The living prophet is more vital to us than the standard works. The living prophet is more important to us than a dead prophet. The prophet will never lead the church astray. The prophet is not required to have any particular earthly training or credentials to speak on any subject or act on any matter at any time. The prophet does not have to say “thus saith the Lord” to give us scripture. The prophet tells us what we need to know, not always what we want to know. The prophet is not limited by men’s reasoning. The prophet can receive revelation on any matter – temporal or spiritual. The prophet may be involved in civic matters.
