Amen, yes - when we get together, even as we do here on this forum, let us each have a revelation, an interpretation - let us be built up together for edification one of another.... but this isn't prophesying; it's just sharing. Prophesying is a very definite Spiritual Gift which we do not all receive:
1 Corinthians 12:29-30 "Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles? Have all the gifts of Healing, do all speak with tongues, do all interpret?" .... the answer of course is, no. They're not.

In the sense that our speaking as Christians represents the Lord, we all are to some extent "prophets"

...Prophecy does not neccessarily mean that we foretell future events - although that is one definition... but to prophesy does mean to speak by the inspiration of God, as lead by the revelation from the Holy Spirit... and that's not the way it's being applied by LSM, with weekly regurgitation from the HWMR and the usual discussion about how it's touched you this week.
