  4. A prophet’s boldness can hinder personal relationships!

  6. A prophet’s non-conforming ways can make personal relationships difficult.

  7. A prophet’s strong desire to convey the truth can be interpreted as showing little interest in listening to another point of view!

  9. A prophet’s emphasis upon “individuals” can be interpreted as disinterest in groups!

  10. A prophet faces the danger of being proud of rhetoric and persuasiveness!

  11. A prophet can depend too much on “own ability” to speak into the lives of others rather than on the Holy Spirit to convict!
