Vulnerability of the Spiritual Gift of Prophecy
All the gifts, talents and abilities that we have can be used negatively. When prophecy is used in a selfish, harsh, over-barring, reckless manner or when it is enabling sin or dysfunctional behavior, it would not be Spirit-led or an expression of love. This gift is best used when coupled with Faith, Evangelist, Encouragement, Interpretation, Tongues and Miracles.
For example, someone with the Prophet gifting could be blessed with a natural ability to refine details, but in turn may unintentionally become critical.
