What does the Bible say about the calling of a prophet?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that a prophet is called and sent by God to deliver His messages, as seen in Ezekiel 2.

In Ezekiel 2, God calls Ezekiel 'son of man' and sends him to the children of Israel, emphasizing the divine authority and purpose behind the prophetic ministry. This calling involves recognizing one's own weaknesses, relying on God's strength, and being entrusted with the serious task of conveying God's message. The biblical example illustrates that true prophets are both called by God and equipped by His Spirit to fulfill their roles, acknowledging that their ministry is not carried out by human strength but by divine enablement.
