Uhh, we are talking about the gifts of the spirit.  But, since you
brought it up from one of my lexicons a prophet is explained as

 1) in Greek writings, an interpreter of oracles or of other hidden
things
 2) one who, moved by the Spirit of God and hence his organ or
    spokesman, solemnly declares to men what he has received by
    inspiration, especially concerning future events, and in
    particular such as relate to the cause and kingdom of God and to
    human salvation
