Prophecize isn't a word. I have not claimed to be a prophet. A prophet is a specific area of ministry/vocation. To exercise the gift of prophecy means to speak the Word of God with boldness. Elijah was a prophet who prophesied. He looked at Ahab and boldly proclaimed what God told him to say. I do not have direct personal revelation, but the Spirit has worked within me to boldly proclaim the Word of God towards given situations. Vocationally, I do not claim to be a prophet. But I do claim the gift of prophecy.
