"I will raise you up as a leader, a leader to prophets and to those who see and discern," were words I heard in my heart over and over again over the course of years. In a nutshell, many people hear the voice of God but they hear His voice differently. Some hear His voice more as a defined word or phrase, while others see various kinds of visions or dreams. And then others might feel or sense His voice within their own emotions, which is more abstract and bewildering to those who are uninformed of this possibility.
Those I've mentioned here have, unfortunately, felt a certain level of rejection from God's Church on the earth, but especially those prone to seeing or discerning the prophetic word of the Lord. Effectively communicating prophetic words in an understandable way is challenging enough, but those who have more mystical prophetic experiences do invite higher scrutiny. My confirmation came at a private apostolic retreat, however, when a well-known prophet and pastor spoke by the unction of the Holy Spirit over me. He said in summary, "You will lead the seers and bring them from revelation to intercession. You will equip them and bridge the gap they've had with the Church."

Just to clarify, a prophetic word can be defined as communication from the Holy Spirit either directly to a person, or to a person through another person. A prophetic word will supernaturally emerge when the gift of prophecy is in operation, and this gift is one of the nine supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit that we see listed in 1 Corinthians 12:7-10.

Generally speaking, the nature of a prophetic word is this:
1) It is revelatory in nature.
2) It reveals what is concealed.
3) It declares the future.
Still, there are different kinds of prophetic words. Some will be highly comforting and encouraging, addressing the most discouraged and broken areas of our hearts. We read, "But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men" (1 Corinthians 14:3)... (continue reading)
