The prophet is bold and courageous to expose sin, but not so sinners can be punished, but for the purpose of restoration.

A prophet calls attention to sin and wrong attitudes in his sphere of influence. The prophet is bold and courageous to expose sin, but not so sinners can be punished, but for the purpose of restoration. The prophet’s main motivation is love.

If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.  And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. (1 Corinthians 13:1-2)

A prophet knows in his spirit when compromises are being made. It is in his nature to take action because of it.

A prophet knows in his spirit when compromises are being made. It is in his nature to take action because of it. He would have the burden to correct the person with love. This action can be in the form of a confrontation, or it may be in the form of a private conversation or correspondence. Moreover, a prophet will not accept any solution that involves compromise. That is unacceptable.

The prophet’s spirit abhors sin. However, this prophetic nature can be misconceived as a judgmental spirit by other people. No one wants to be the object of judgment. Imagine how the Old Testament prophets felt. People usually want to kill the messenger. The prophet usually has the spiritual gift of discerning spirits; he is able to discern true motives of people according to what the Holy Spirit reveals to him. Moreover, prophets are more inclined to discern the status of the heart, rather than the acceptability of the sin per se. Nevertheless, prophets are known to be outspoken, sometimes forceful, but they tell it like it is. Prophets tend to see and talk about issues as “black or white,” not “gray.”

The prophet usually has the spiritual gift of discerning spirits; he is able to discern true motives of people according to what the Holy Spirit reveals to him.
