Could a born again Christian give me a prophetic word?

as long as it goes with Scripture. Thanks

God shows us things in all kinds of ways. Some might call it providence but often there is an element of some some spiritual gift that confirms or lifts us up at a critical time, prepares us for a time that is coming, or gives us an understanding of something from the past.

Yes I'm sure they could. For example a word of encouragement from another believer at the right time, a word in season can do a lot of good. Where it can be a supernatural act is when the Holy Spirit stirs someone to give exactly the right word of encouragement at precisely the right time.

Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing (1 Thessalonians 5:11). God Bless You

And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; 2 Peter 1:19

For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Cor 4:6

Don't expect all prophetic words to be related to or fact checked by scripture. I have had countless words and visions related to real life, where the Lord is giving direction or encouragement. Insisting as many do, that prophecy conforms to scripture serves only to exclude a whole area of wisdom that the Lord would let loose among his children.

Examples-
1) Since the 1970s, we have sold up and moved house 10 times, and each time the Lord gave direction or vividly confirmed the move.
2) The Lord gave me revelation for the creation of a new untried business. It became hugely successful.
3) Following the above business venture, the Lord kept revealing more and more business ideas, including the patenting of a leading product on the market.
4) When driving late at night in a drizzle, the Lord whispered in my ear to "Pull back, pull back, pull back!" I immediately understood and took my foot off and covered the brake. Suddenly a huge black cow leapt through the hedge so close I had no chance to avoid it. However I was now driving at about 15mph instead of the previous 60mph. Had I not listened, I would have been killed.
5) The Lord revealed my wife to me, and that was confirmed by a word from another prophet.
6) In my business, we had serious problems with a complex machine that kept breaking down. One day when I was engaged in something else, the Lord gave me an open vision of a peculiar shaped piece of metal, and I instantly knew what it was for. I made that article and fitted it to the failing machine and not only did it work better than ever, but it was a design improvement that stopped it breaking down ever again.

And many many more.

I have lost track of the thousands of times the Lord has interfered in my life and business and marriage with encouragement or direction. The idea that God should just stick to scripture is arrogant nonsense.

We're all happy that your business and marriage is thriving, Yet first understand this, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of any personal or private interpretation. 2 Peter 1:20-21
For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 1 Peter 1:16-17
Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke of the grace that was to come to you, the Spirit of Christ in them pointed to the sufferings of the Messiah and the glories that would follow. 1 Peter 1:10-11

Read The Bible and believe in Jesus for God's free gift of Eternal Life.

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

The aspect of the fish as a secret symbol of recognition used by the early Christians is explained by St Augustine in De Civitate Dei (XVIII, 23): “If you combine the first letters of the five Greek words that are ‘Ιησοῦς Χριστός Θεoῦ Υἱός Σωτήρ’, and mean Jesus Christ the Son of God the Saviour, you will have ΙΧΘΥΣ, that is, fish, a term with which Christ is symbolically represented because he had the power to remain alive, that is, without sin, in the abyss of our mortality, similar to the depth of the waters”.

2 Timothy 3:
16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine,
for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
17 that the man of God may be complete,
thoroughly equipped for every good work.

The bigger issue is whether or not someone would act
or change their behavior based on that word.
The willingness to receive correction is essential
to a healthy relationship with the Lord.
When is the last time you witnessed someone
receiving a rebuke in front of everyone?
As it goes with scripture!

1 Timothy 5:20 Those who are sinning rebuke in the presence of all,
that the rest also may fear.

2 Timothy 4:
1 I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ,
who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom:
2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season.
Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine,
but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears,
they will heap up for themselves teachers;
4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.

Titus 2::15 Speak these things, exhort, and rebuke with all authority.
Let no one despise you.

Hebrews 12:11 Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present,
but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit
of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

This is absolutely true.

I have very similar experiences like this from over 30 years with The Lord so far. This is what every Christian should be experiencing.

I wish I could be experiencing that too. I mean, I have a few times, mostly little things. But I'm nearly 57 and I feel like much of my life is such a mess.

For me, I was introduced to Jesus in a powerful way the day of my rebirth. What I think keeps things alive is honesty. How honest and truthful I am to Him. Also the amount of time I devote to not just asking for things, but just sharing my thoughts with Him. Saying sorry where I need to, etc.

I feel like I do those already. I wish I had grown up with more guidance and self-awareness. I wasn't diagnosed with autism until I was 50. Shortly after, I began therapy and have since become more self-aware. I'll keep working at getting closer to God.
