Prophets Are Messengers Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

A prophet should
listen to God
honestly and sincerely
to proclaim about him.

The Spirit of God
uses the tongue
of the prophets.

It is the Spirit
of God that does it.

Prophecy thus
has a lot to do
with the spirit.

Let us remember
Pentecost:
The Spirit descends
on the apostles.

The Spirit gives
them courage not
to think of themselves
but of the message
they are supposed
to convey.

So the Spirit of God
speaks from the prophets;
they are 'be-spirited'
who is able, also to
inspire other people.
