The words of the Bible are, for the most part, the words of God spoken to His prophets. A prophet was someone He personally called to share His Gospel with His children, prepare them for the coming of Christ, and remind them of their duty to remember Him. These were righteous (though of course imperfect, as only Jesus Christ was perfect) men, and were never self-appointed, but were called by God personally, or by His voice through His previous prophet.
I believe in a God that does not change. Because He is perfect He doesn't need to change, and is the same from eternity to all eternity. The prophets of ancient days were beacons of light to a wicked world. Do we not still need that? Do we not still need a living source of God's Gospel in these turbulent days? Christ is coming again; could we not be blessed by one to help us prepare? And in a world that is constantly trying to pull us away from God and His Christ, would we not benefit from being reminded of our duty to God, and of His loving plan for our happiness?
For these and many other reasons I believe that God would send a prophet in these days. But, lest we be deceived, the Savior counseled you and me that, "ye shall know them by their fruits," or the words and works they gave. Below I am including links to listen to the words of the men that God has confirmed to my heart are His called and chosen prophets in this day and age, proof to the world that we are not forgotten or abandoned by our Father and Creator.
I thank Thee, oh God, for a prophet, to guide me in these latter days!
