Jeremiah prophesied for 33 years, and if my count is accurate, he wrote that the Word of the Lord only came to him a total of about 35 times. So, just barely more than once per year on average. It's food for thought when it comes to someone's spiritual gifting.

I agree with trying the spirits, but would we want to compare the “greater things than these will you do” New Testament gifts with the limitations of Jeremiah? Why limit the NT believers?
